Especial from United Press.)

(Sp0c1ll rom OIlIL0Q GTGSS.)
 London, March 14.-Russia has decided on a military course in the far east according to today's St. Petersburg despatches of the Ex- change Telegre ph that can mean in the opinion of military experts but one thing; the imminence of another war.
 Today's despatches say that Russia has decided on the imme ediate strengthening of all her Eastern and Manchurian garrisons and the com p1etion of the double tracking of the Siberian railway before June. As soon as the double tracking is com pleted an immense army will be mobilized in the far east.
 War Secretary Sukhon1linoff and Public Works Secretary Rukhloff have been ordered to the far. east to superintend the military operations. A month ago it would have been as stunned that these preparations were in anticipation of another clash with Japan but in view of the apparent agreement of Russia and Japan re- garding the ManShurian policy, as disclosed by theif rejection of the Knox railway naturalization plan, it is believed that Russia anticipates a clash with China.
