FOSTER GLOOM IN THE RANKS
Russian Revolutionists Circulate Let

St. Petersburg, March 24.-The No.

able dispatch from a correspondent in
the field, who discusses the causes OF
Russian reverses and contrasts the spir-
it with which Russia and Japan are con-
Quoting the war and arraigns the ele-
ments in Russia who are nOurishing
their propaganda on defeats in the far
east, scattering broadcast among the
heartsick, retreating soldiers, proclama-
tions urging them to. cease fighting and
surrender The dispatch continues:
The Enemy's Tactics.
Not even the enemy has sent us such
proclamations. but has confined himself
foreign agencies about disorders in Rus

ders and officers who, returning from
Mukden, fatigued and heartsore from
want of success. received from the dis
tant home proclamations with advice OF
that tenor.
Setting aside the factors Of tenn
porary nature, the correspondent emu,
merates four main causes Of misfor-
tune:
First-Failure to establish before the
war an adequate intelligence department
in Manchuria or to make other prepare
tons.
Second-Russia's dependence upon q
single railway. while the Japanese have
many bases, with the possibility of es-
tablishing new ones at any point on the
coast. ....--s
Officers Are Deficient.
Third-The deficiencies of many Off
GERS. whose mistakes of execution bring
to naught the most carefully thought Out
plans of the commander or whose tech
nical education has not kept pace with
the artillery they are required to handle
Fourth-That victory rests not will
the army but with the nation.
The correspondent pictures the pa
triotism, devotion and passionate long
ing for victory of the Japanese.
In closing the correspondent pleads
for few words of encouragement and
acknowledgment that the 10000 who
fell around Mukden are not an unappre
ciated sacrifice, 50 that others in dying
may bless the fatherland for which, they
fall. --t@ -

PERSIA RISES, TOO

Nicholas, -"

st: Petersburg, March 24.-The out
break of an antiforeign movement in
northern Persia, reported from Meshed
arouses the gravest misgivings. Every
one sees a connection between the at
tacks on Russian subjects in Persia and
Russian defeats in Manchuria. A gen
eral uprising of Asiatic tribes under
Russian rule is feared. The shah evi-

Amur Must Go, Too.
The possibility that if the Russian
army should be unable to hold the low,
er line Of the Sun-gari river at Chun
chiatsu, it may be compelled to retreat
not only to Hardin, but also farther
westward along the railroad, abandoning
to the Japanese northern Manchuria
and the Russian maritime Amur prov
inces as well, is the latest startling news
from the front.
With Manchuria entirely abandoned

To Save Family Prestige.
1t can now be definitely stated that
the decision to appoint Grand Duke
