RUSHING TO SUICIDE.

Roiestvensky's fleet steaming toward
remindful of Cervera's desperate dash
when he staked and lost his ships
against a solitary hope. Cevera said
Ii was suicide, but he made the at
tempt and his ships sank fighting IKE
sea wolves brought to bay.
The annihiliation Of his fleet virtual-
ly closed the war. Spanish hopes sank
with the ships, but Cervera's splendid
dash to die fighting saved the fame OF
Spain and held the respect of the world
for the men who fought their ships
and sank with them. SPANS greatest
recollection of the American war is
Cervera at Santiago
So the Russis.n fleet seeking it's zoe
off Singapore may redeem RUSSIAN
fame il not by victory, in glorious de-
feat. Rojestvensky is not a Cervera
or his chances for victory would not
seem SO remote. Nevertheless he has
q chance to win and winning to change
the face of the war in the east. Com
mand of the seas would repay Russia
for all her disasters.
There is something in human nature
that forgives much to men who display
the game quality, the uncomfortable
spirit that dies but does not surrender.
Whatever may be said of the armies
and navies of Russia they have match
cd not unequal valor against the
bravest men in history. The retreat
to Mukden and Hardin was made on
the splendid courage of the Russian
rank and file. A defeated army, thou
sands Of miles from its true base,
fought itself into safety, as Mcclel-
lan's army Of the Potomac came back
to Harrison's Landing from Richmond,
on it's nerve.
Rojestvensk,'s fleet seeking an
fairly equal number Of Japanese yes
sells is a display of gameness that
deserves appreciation. It is thousands
of miles from nome 10 iuSllI us enemy
In his own backyard. Officers and men
know the forlornness Of their hope.
They realize their own weakness
when opposed to the Japanese who are
ship engineers, naval tacticians, fight
ing men and fanatics in one. japanese
ships are clean bottomed and prepared
at every point for battle. The Rus
slams have steamed thousand leagues
since their ships were locked or
scraped. japanese gunners shoot like
Americans, Russian gunners like
the Spanish. There is the prestige of
victory with Togo, the depression of
defeat and the memory of ridicule with
Rojestvensky Like Cervera, Rojest-
vensky and his men are rushing to
suicide but the bravery and self sacri-
fee of the deed should win them the
good will of g. world prone to hero wor-
ship and always loud in it's approval
of desperate valor.
