RUSSIAN SOLDIERS OF FORTUNE.

Some at least of the Russian milf
tarv officers are DESTROYS Of wipins
out the disgrace of the defeat by Jap
an. and it is said that many of them
are prepared to offer their services to
the United States. i'm order to revenge
themselves on the victorious Japanese.
There are several reasons why the
services of the Russian officers will
not be accepted. In the first place.
there is not great likelihood of war
between the United States and Japan.
In the remote contingency of trouble
with Japan. the United States would
not be under the necessity of employ
ing soldiers of fortune. 1t is abund-
antIy able to fight its own battles, on
sea or land. and if need be. in the sky.
History demonstrates that but short
time is required to summon armies
with banners from the American yeo-
many to maintain the honor of the
flag.
Another obvious objection to the
employment of Russian military and
naval officers by the United States
would be the handicap imposed 70
their demonstrated incapacity. \ ma
ton as great in resources as the Unit
ed States would not be warranted in
imperiling its campaign in time of
war by employing incompetent foreign
ers. especially those who were so
clearly out generated and outfought by
the little Japs.
Secretary of War Taft will soon
reach the Russian capital by way %
the Trans Siberian Railway and the
ambitious Russian officers will have
an opportunity TO apply to him in per-
son. They will also be enabled to learn
from him that nothing is more unlike
L. than a clash of arms between the
United States and Japan.

THE ALLEGED NEW YORK FIGHT
The Rochester Democrat Chronicle
in regard To a report which has gained
some Roadway i'm Washington that
President Roosevelt proposes. to make
Ia fight for the control of the New
York state delegation in opposition to
the interests of Governor Hughes and
presumably in favor Of Secretary Taft,
says:
Such talk is all moonshine and need
worry nobody. unless we are to as
sumo that the president has suddenly
lost his head and is willing to place
New York i'm jeopardy in the next
campaign OF apparent significance.
in this connection, is the indefinite
postponement of State Chairman
Woodruffs visit to the president.
Secretary Taft is worthy of the
presidents friendliness, and Of the adj
miration of the entire country, but the
tactics ascribed to the president would
prove his political ruin. Mr.. Roose
Welt knows this. Moreover. he is not
ignorant of the political history OF this
state. Furthermore, he is an exem
plar of the square deal" and there
is no reason To- suppose that he has
the slightest disposition to BLOCK the
way to Governor Hughes advance
ment or to oppose the freest possible
manifestation of New York's senti
ment regarding the next candidate for
the presidency"
