sufficient to convince one that they
at least begin to recognize how
black the future in the Far East looks
for Russia.
What has brought about this change
of thought; it is difficult to guess
unless it be that the papers have been
given greater freedom, and so allowed
to disseminate more news. The
lower orders, however, ignorant as
they all are, and most of them unable
to read or write, are still probably
as much in the dark as to what is
going on as they have always been;
and it will not be until the reserves
are modified in their own particular
districts that they will realize what
the war means to them.
The military element is not nearly
so much in evidence in Moscow as
In st. Petersburg, probably because
this is not a military center in the
same sense as the capital; in fact,
what strikes one principally on first
stroll through the principal streets is
the comparative absence of uniforms
Not that there is any dearth of sol
diers round about, for the garrison of
Moscow itself and its suburbs consists
of no less than 10000 men Chat of
st. Petersburg in ordinary times being
about 100000 but this large body Of
men is so distributed, and the bar
racks are at such distances that the
men are kept out of the city's center.
After reading so much about the
Russian soldier at the front, 1t was
but natural that one should desire

Especial Correspondence.)

to see something of the gallant fellow
at home To obtain permission to
visit the barracks in this time of war
Is not an easy matter, but in Russia
patience and determination are car
dinal virtues, and they must be con-
tagious for a very short stay in the
country is sufficient to convince one
that nothing is gained over here by
trying to rush" matters. The resolu-
ton not to allow oneself to be put out
by any little thing comes as a natural
sequence.
After therefore, considerable de-
lay, which the unimportance OF the
subject scarcely warranted, was
granted permit signed by the
Grand Duke Serge himself, to visit
certain barracks near the city, where
a regiment of Cossacks is stationed.
A drive of little less than an hour
brought me to the vast open space,
which will be forever associated in
ones memory with the most awful
catastrophe, or, rather, holocaust, OF
modern times; for it was here that
on Coronation day nearly 10000 peo-
pie were crushed or suffocated to
death while waiting, in dense and
uncomfortable mob, for the dstribu-
ton of the Emperor's gifts. This i'll
omened ground is known as the Pet
rovski Park, and is principally used
now as a review ground for the troops
of the garrison, whose barracks ad-
join the park.
The Russian soldier at the best of
times Is not what one can call a
trim" looking man, but in his bar
racks when he is off duty he is, if
possible, worse, One is somewhat
surprised at this, considering how
smart his officers always look. 1t
would be difficult to imagine more
ditry-looking, disheveled, and down
at-the-heel crowd of youngsters than
one saw here-and none of them of
particularly good physique, either.
They evidently are not taught to take
any pride in their appearance, and
SLOUGH about in most unsoldierlike
fashion. 1t was dinner time, and in
the halls the men were seated at long
tables, on which were placed large
wooden bowls, some containing stchi,
or vegetable soup, and others kasha,
a sort of boiled maize, and, of course,
the inevitable black bread. Each man
had wooden spoon, with which he
helped himself as he pleased out OF
either bowl. About six men were al
lotted to each bowl There were no
plates or pannikins of any sort as
one generally sees in soldiers mess
rooms, but the men were all tapping
up their food out of the common dish

class. which forms the bulk of the
army, are not fastdious and | must
in fairness say that the men all APP
peared to have healthy appetites, the
food, though not appetizing to look at,
being no doubt wholesome. The meal
was quickly finished, for no time ap-
peared to be allowed for dawdling,
and Immediately afterward the men
fell in for various duties. | learned
that they got two of these big
meals a day and tea and black
bread sufficient to make two others.

showed that the tough, wiry little

AS he drained his mug and his lips he
smacked
Then he told me of Morgan and Kidd
and Jones,
And ra tiled their deeds, their chains. and
bones;
While the wind came moaning up from
the sea,
And the tune rose, faint and cracked;
The flag was as red as blood,
With hairy spot o black.
An the Spider barred her deadly fangs
AS she crawled on the windward tack!
He would chuckle a bit, then sort OF
choke.
"Ah, boy, could turn e sick an pale

For | ha trodden the red stained oak
Under many an many a queer, queef

An the Spider barred her deadly fangs
AS she crawled on the windward
Crawled on the windward
Crawled on the windward tack!

II is said in Russia that one makes
money in Moscow and spends it in St.
Petersburg. One almost feels in
clined, therefore. to compare the two
cities, as one does London with Paris,
though this is hardly fair on Moscow;
for, although 1t is, admittedly, the
commercial center of the country, and
the abode of many of its merchant
princes, there is ample opportunity
for spending both money and time
pleasantly in the ancient capital Of
the northern empire. Yet there is
no gainsaying 1t, Moscow u.s. without
doubt, the city of the business man
rather than the flaneur; and one is
