Of all the remarkable lessons
that can be learned from this wal
between Japan and Russia, sure
ly none is greater than this: the
ut er nnpreparedness of Russia
though for fifty years she has
been regarded with dread by
European and Asiatic nations
There has been nothing there tc
fear; for mere bulk of men OF
size of budget does not make nat
ional strength. A crowd of men
can easily become mob that a
few clear headed fighters can
whip, and Russia's army has
been shown to be defeated in
tactics at every point, and its
immense supplies of men have
proved difficult to handle and
impossible of delivery at the
point they were needed. 1t
shows that its organization has
been largely a paper one, and
that the years of preparation
have been frittered away by the
ones in authority through in
competency, or ignorance or
that which is worse, deceit. The
crumbling of the Russian resis-
lance before the Japanese on
slaughts reminds US inevitably
of the dishonesty that character
lied Spanish officialdom and that
therefore made the Spanish army
and navy so weak in their oppo-
sition to the American navy
wherein expenditures had been
honest and the training of the
men had been honest.
When we were preparing for
the Spanish American war, no
one thought of the necessity of
keeping large forces of men at
inland points for purposes of in
ternal government. Russia, how
ever, has not alone to keep a
huge army in the field to fight
the Japanese land then to fight
them ineffectively) but she is also
compelled to keep as large, or
even larger, an army scattered
all over inland points, so that
the populace shall be overawed
and not rise to sweep the govern
ment out of existence. This
again is condition that is al
most beyond the imagination of
us Americans. When our Presi-
dent travels, few secret service
men are all that are required.
