RUSS SHIPS HELPLESS
Startling Story Of Fleets Incomp etency
s5SSss a4a in Sea Battle. "a

ladivostok, June ia series of in
terviews which the correspondent Of
the Associated Press has had with naval
Officers who survived the battle Of the
sea of Japan has developed a most sem
sational story of the causes Of the Rus
sian disaster.
1t is explained that the admirals in
than the sublieutenants and had to
rely only on the signals of the flag
ship for knowledge Of ~Roiestvensky' 3
battle plan. Admiral Nebogatoff, upon
whom the command devolved, had seen
Rojestvensky only once after the june
ture Of their squadrons, and then only
for fifteen minutes.
ALI the stories Of extensive target
practice in Madagascar, it seems, were
false. During the entire voyage there
practically was no training in gunnery
worthy of the name, and the big gun
practice was confined to three shots per
vessel.
Some ships developed deplorable
structural defects. The Oslabya sank
without having single hole below the
waterline. Heavy seas entered the YES
sci above the Waterline and the water
tight compartments, which were
age, did not stand the strain they had
been calculated to stand, and burst,
flooding and heeling the vessel over UNI
til she turned turtle.
Lack Of homeogeneity among the
ships made it impossible to maneuver
in harmony. The Vladimir Monomach,
Admiral Oushakoff and Admiral Senia-
vim had to lag behind, on this account
becoming easy victims.
Finally, the ammunition was ex-
hausted after the first day g fight.
Even the very morning of the battle,
while the buzzing Of the wireless in.
struments on the Russian ships showed
that the Japanese scouts were communi-
eating his dispositions to Admiral Togo,
Admiral Rojestvensky continued his
careless maneuvering, and when the
Japanese actually appeared the Rus
SLAMS were caught in an impossible for
nation and were attacked on three
fronts Rojestvensky position was
cramped and his transports were badly
placed and caused confusion.
While the Japanese We're raining
projectiles even from machine guns on
the Russian ships, the latter were hud-
died together, blanketing each other s
fire. Only the leaders of the columns
could bring their guns to BEAR and
even those the unframed gunners fired
wildly.
Mines Sank Three Ships.
To render matters worse, the mines
and floating torpedoes sown in the
paths of the Russian division added to
the confusion. The Borodino, Admiral
Nakhimoff and Navarin fell victims to
