THE ART OF WAR EXEMPLIFIED

The fighting of the last week has
shown, both at Port Arthur and along
the way to Mukden. an inlpetuosity on
the part of the Japs which might sug-
prescription for the success of the
French republic-"Audacity! more au-
dacity!. still more audacity..." 1t is
true that audacity planted the Frencn
flag in nearly every capital of Europe
but Napoleon had audacity and reck-
lessness without the advantage of stra
tegic ability which the Japs have, as
shown in their movements in Manchu-
ria, since the crossing of the Yalu
river. The Russians made their first
bunder in permitting weakness in THEN
defenses at that most important point
1t is indeed, likely that they lacked the
troops then. Lying about their mill
tary and naval resources and theil
ability to drive the Japs into the sea"
was their besetting sin before they had
an actual experience of the fighting
qualities of the men of Nippon.
The Russians have fought under the
direction of a man who held the port
folio of war minister When he was
sent to the front by the car. kuro-
patkin was exploited as the most fin
ished tactician in Russia and he him
self believed that he would have mere
season of child's play in Manchuria
But he has been on the defensive ever
since he took charge. Port Arthur is
near to capitulatiOn: the Locating
peninsula is in possession of the Japs;
the China Eastern railway is in the
hands of Japs, who are utilizing ports
of Min chuang to rush in munitions of
war for the use of the troops in the
vicinity of LiaO-yang. kurOpatkin

vers of the three Jap armies beaween
the Yellow sea and the China Eastern
to be occupied by the Japs He has
been Outgeneraled. He is now trying
to recover from the disadvantage re-
sulting from mis- own bungling tactics
There is no doubt of the desperate
character of the Russian Defense
They show a better artillery practice
than heretofore, for hitherto thew have
been overwhelmingly distanced by the
JapS in this arm of military service.
In the Russo Turkish war, the cars
best artillery was, in the opinion of the
best experts, Wretchedly Ineffective
Since then, many schools of instruction
have been established, but at present
the Russians seem to be learning how
to handle artillery from the jap prac-
tice. Modern field artillery has at a
thousand yards Il greater velocity than
the old nine FOUNDER had at its muz-
zle The war in the east is fought with
modern implements on the sea and on
the land.

WHO is TO BLAME?

What kind of a chap is the ear any
way? We have been told time and
again that he was good sort of fell
low; that he would be all right if he
could only break away from his ILL
advised advisers; that he did not want
war with Japan, but was forced into
it by war party in his ministry; that
he was inclined to grant his people
greater liberties, but was restrained
by men like Won PIehve: that he was
kept from meddling in the great af-
fairs of Russia by INSCRIPTIONS plot
ters who wished to run things them
selves and who kept the car from In
terfering by turning his mind to petty
details relating to minor matters, and
much more.
But now comes "a high Russian
offical,' writing for the Quarterly Re-
! full. who says that this view is all a
mistake; that the ear is, in effect, a
wild Oriental despot"; that, instead
of being ruled by his ministry, he over
rules it at every turn: that it was
he who cOurted war with Japan against
the warnings of his advisers; that far
/ from charging the liberties of Russia
ne has curbed them, and this in spite
of some recent DEGREES which seemed
/ to point to an inclination on the part
! of the ear to be generous; that, in
stead of not meddling in great affairs
of the nation, he butts in in every
! thing and has spoiled many of the
Wisest measures that have been con-
. ceived both for the government and
! the governed.
And this Russian official speaks as
one who knows He shows an init
mate familiarity With matters which
only the privileged would know. 1t is
