DR.. PersifOr Frazer

PHILADELPHIA. Feb. 17.-Personal
observation of the condition and opera
ton of the Transsiberian Railroad
leads DR.. Persifor Frazer. OF Phlladel-
phia, to believe that it will be found
unequal to the burden put upon IL Of
supplying Russia's tremendous forces in
the East. Though the railroad has
proved equal to the strain of ordinary
travel, he believes that the greatly in
creased volume Of traffic that will i'm
mediately result from the campaign in
Manchuria will overtax its capacity and
facilities
While the Transsiberian line ulti-
mately will be a commercial railroad, it
is. of course. first and foremost. a mill

WILL COSSACKS

Question Ask ny Many
Military Experts. ~
COMPARISON OF TWO ARMIES
American Officers, Who Went to Pekin,
Believe Mikado's Soldiers Will
Be Effective.
COMPARISON OF TWO ARMIES

Just wait till Russia meets Japan
on land. Then there will be a turn in
the tide
Russian sympathizers are saying this
in their effort 70 persuade themselves
that Japal's prowess is confined exclu-
sively to naval warfare.
The Cossacks will eat the Japanese
up they say.
United States army officers who were
before Pekin and had an opportunity to
compare the merits Of the armies OF the
allied powers do not share the opinion
OF the men who believe Russia will have
easy victories on land.
The Russians are clumsy soldiers, -
said a prominent officer who was before
Pekin with the American forces. Their
equipment is heavy and awkward. They
wear great heavy boots of such coarse
leather that they cannot march many
miles in a day without having the skin
rubbed of their feet. All their clothing
is coarse and uncomfortable and much
less modern that that of the Japanese.
Perfunctory Fighters.
THE Russians will fight when they
are told TO, but they do not fight for
love OF country as the Japs do. and they
cannot get around as fast. Then the
private soldier in the Russian army is
very ignorant. He is not capable of
thinking for himself He is not imita-
tive as the Jap is and does not seem to
have taken kindly 10 modern methods.
Under all conditions the Japs will make
the best of what they have. They will
get along with less equipment than the
forces OF any other country. Heat and
cold have little effect on them, and they
are always ready for action"
The Japanese are alleged TO have been
making a great effort recently to i'm
prove their field artillery. II is not
known how well equipped their artillery
is, but they are not thought 10 have
sufficient pieces TO assist the large army
which they are throwing into Korea and
viii soon be moving toward the Yalu
River.
Although the Japanese say they can
OVerwhelm the Russians by numbers
and can defeat any cavalry movements
which the Cossacks may make against
them. Japans total lack OF cavalry is
believed by military experts to be the
greatest handicap the japanese Will have
in the coming campaigns.
