Bussia's National Dream.
Russia's dream Of the centuries coming
down from the days Of Peter the Great
IS Russian harbor on the open sea be-
yond the range Of winters ice. The hope
OF making the dream reality spurred
the Russian raid on Manchuria and the
seizute OF Port Arthur. The japanese
army and navy frustrated the plan and
forced Russia back within its ice bound
borders. In all former moves toward
the open sea Russia met but never
overcame the power and pressure OF
Great Britain In the Manchurian war
Japan would not have achieved as great
a triumph without Great Britain as an
ally and financial hacker. But the
whirligig OF time makes strange bed
fellows. The lion and the bear, hitherto
cold and distant today are cordial allies
in the job of eliminating Persia as a
buffer state. Back OF Tiussias eagerness
In trumping up excuses for the raid Is
the hope OF eventually reaching the Per-
sian gulf practically the only stretch
Of open sea on the map that holds a pos
sibility Of making the Romanof dream a
reality. Already the shrunken empire

tho former on the north. the latter on
the south, leaving the intervening terri
tory as a piaything for n puppet ruler.
There is no restraint on the bears paw
this time. Not only is it free to act in
the usual fashion; 1t is encouraged by
Great Britain and native opposition
urged to submit. What is the price ?
Look at the map and note the import
ance of having an ally on the east Of
Germany as cordially aggressive as
France on the west. Fear of German
power, deep rooted in the British isles,
makes new defensive combinations
necessary. Russia gets it's share of the
spoil in Persia and a prospective high
way to the sea. In the game of internal
tlonal grab Mr.. Shustet's appeals for
righteousness and justice falls on deaf
ears.

oratory astonished the members. The
volume, which corresponds with our Con-
gresslonal Record. shows that 1883
speeches were made on the budget alone.
NJ. Jaures occupied the tribune between
times and he and his socialistic faction
delivered $50 set speeches, besides num-
berless oratorical kicks against the min
istry. This years budget debate has been
restricted In consequence. and no member
can exceed the time limit of eighteen
minutes. The great Joke OF the reform
effected for the debate now in progress
is that the devising OF a plan to curtail

tary of War. MacLachlan, who 10
one of the members of the House clos.
est to the military affairs OF the ma
ton, presented "a criticism OF our
army, written for the United Press
by Frederic Louis Huidekoper. an in
ternational military expert. 1t set
forth that the country is now practi-
cally defensesess, and would be at the
mercy of Germany, japan or any
other first class military power that
might attempt to invade our shores.
The Huidekoper criticism declar-
ed, as the advocates of an increased
national defense have contended
throughout the recent agitation, that
the army should be increased from
1850 to 10000. with a reserve OF
100000. This could be done, the ex-
pert asserted, for very little more
money than the present army expen-
ditures, If the proper laws were pass
ed.
II was generally declared on the
floor OF the House that the statement

Ian contained Information similar to
some of that included in the conf
dental report sefft to the House by
the Secretary of War in reply to the
resolution of Representative MacLach-
Ian demanding Information as to the
national defense.
Hindekopers paper abounds in terse
expression among them being the fol-
lowing:
The American people should know
that their Army is In lamentable

The American Army to-day has only
enough infantry ammunition for one
single engagement The field artillery
does not possess enough manufactured
ammunition to fight so much as one
battle"
How long would our 80 regiments
of infantry stand against the 100000
troops which Germany could land on
the Atlantic coast, or Japan on the Pa
cihc coast. within hve weeks after
the declaration OF war;
I'VE Americans think our militia a
wonderful force. Nothing could be
further from. the truth from military
stand point -
War used to tast 1 90 years or more.
Now 1t lasts one year or less. and pre-
para ton must be made beforehand"
The location of army posts is most
defective. The War Department has
