STATISTICS OF WAR
An Interesting Array Of
Facts and Figures.
CRITICISM RESEN TED
STATEMENT OF THE ARMY ORGAN
AT ST. PETERSBURG.
Shows What Has Been Done by the
Russian War Office Since
War Begun.

ST. PETERSBURG March 25.-Stung by
the wholesale criticism lately heaped upon
the war office for its unpreparedness and
incapacity in providing the Manchurian
army with men, guns and munitions, the
army organ today lays bare what has been
done since the opening of hostilities, giving
the exact figures. From these 1t appears
that up to March II the war Office had
dispatched 13,OS7 officers, T61, i6I men, 49,,
t0S horses, 1.521 guns and 316,321 tons of
munitions and supplies to the front de-
claring the transportation strained the ST.
berian railroad to its utmost capacity.
The army organ admits that the army in
the far east, when the opened, was
hardly worth the name (no figures being
given. but it is known that the troops did
not exceed 10000 mem defending this on
the ground that Emperor Nicholas desired
to avoid war, and therefore refrained from
sending reinforcements which surely would

The Port Arthur Situation.

The criticism of the war Offices failure to
adequately supply Port Arthur is met by
the statement that it was provisioned for a
garrison of twelve battalions, the decision
to put thirty battalicns being taken so late
that the original calculations could not be
remedied.
While affirming that the quick-firing guns
and field guns of the Russians are superior
to those of the Japanese, the war office ex-
plains that the misfortune in the insuffic-
iency of the mountain guns was due to the
fact that when the war broke out Russia
was just adopting new pattern.
1t is denied that the war office was de-
ceived in regard to the available strength
of the Japanese army or the organization
of the Japanese reserves, but the army or
gan frankly admits that the talents of the
officers and the wonderful spirit of the SOL
dierS were miscalculated

Sensation Created.

The publication of this article has Gre
ated sensation among military men and
in public circles, many of the former cen
suring the general staff for disclosing val
liable military secrets, and the latter find
ing from the figures a practical admission
that the war has cost almost half million
men in killed, wounded, prisoners and sick
as the whole effective in the far east is
now believed not to exceed 100000 men
The preliminary press censorship on books
in Russian as we'll as foreign languages
has been removed. The books now printed
go to the censor, by whom their sale must
be authorized within seven days or, 1t is
alleged they violate the criminal law
The question of confiscation must immedi-
ately be submitted to be decided by the
courts.
Heretofore manuscripts We're sent to the
censor and sometimes were held for months
and years. He had the arbitrary right to
prohibit their publication without any con-
trmation of his decision by the courts.

ONE PHYSICIAN SENT TO JAIL

New Orleans, Sept. 1.-Two causes
contributed to the INCREASE in the mum.
Der of new cases today. One was the
fact that there is never complete
clean up of cases ON Sunday, leaving
some to find their way into Mondays

of having failed to report two Chart

DR.. Berge was arrested at midnight
Saturday, spending fourteen hours In

perinece physicians were particularly
prompt today in reporting cases,
seventeen of them appearing In person

Not all cases reported are likely to
