Doesn't Believe in conceaIment

ST. PETERSBURG, Dec. 28.-In an
outspoken article in reply to a recent
letter of Admiral Biereleff which ap-
pealed to the Russians not to openly
criticise the condition of the navy, the
Russ today declares the time is past
for silence, in view of the fact that
responsible for the loss of 150,000,000
covered us with shame and grief. 1t
would be absurd to hide the defects
that can still be repaired in the ships
which remain at Cronstadt and Libau.
We have already criminally wasted
enough time"
The Russ enumerated the defects IN
the ships still in Russian waters, aver
ring that the "peculiarities of struc-
ture of several of the vessels destined
for the far East make the voyage dan
gerous, and the torpedo boats are in
so shocking condition that 1T is a
matter of surprise that the authorities
accepted their delivery. Torpedo
boats inended to reinforce Vice Ad-
~miral Rojestvensky must clearly not
be despatched with the numerous de-
fects which have been proved to exist
in them" The Russ says:
Even if Admiral Rojestvensky is a
clever leader and his $4,000 comrades
are heroic sailors, everyone knows
that we have Imposed on them an al
most superhuman task In consequence
of our not being furnished with true
account of the gravity of the events
which have occurred since the fatal
uight of Feb. g."
