Russia Eyes India.

Russia, it is argued, has by far the
largest army in the world. though today
1t is disorgauized aud the Russian gov
ernment has not money enough to place
half of it in the field; but, thanks to
Sir Edward Grcy's efforts to restore
Russia TO her place as great power
and to the enormous Industrial develop
ment Of Russia, she may be able in the
near future to overcome that obstacle
and then Sir Edward s adyorsaries fear,
the Russian bear will seize India, which
England will never be able to defend.
The triple entente with France and
Russia Is generally looked upon with
favor In England as a guarantee against
a German attack, and Russia s friend
ship is valued in Europe, but powerful
voices are continually arguing that this
friendship has been too dearly bought
by England, which ought to have in
sisted upon the preservation Of an in

state between the czars empire and
