st. Petersburg Ia well defended from
the sea. Situated at the head Of the
Finnish gulf, more than 200 miles
from the entrance to the gulf, 1t can
be protected by defenses on the main
land on either side.
Kronstadt, which lies within view of
the capital, has long since been aban-
doned as a means Of defense.
Across the very mouth of the Fin
nish gulf Is the new line on which the
Russians rely to safeguard their capt.
tai from attack by sea. This is the
Revel-Sveaborg line Reyel is just
around the corner on the south and is
Russia's principal naval port on the
Baltic. SVeaborg is near Helsingfors,
the capital of Finland.
Islands Complete Line.
There are small islands between
these two points, which are used to
complete the line of defense. At no
point in this line is the distance be-
tween batteries more than 80 miles. II
will be a difficult line to cross.
Almost at the very mouth Of the Fin
nish gulf, little to the north, and ly-
ing between Finland and Sweden, are
the Islands OF Aland.
Russia wished to obtain these islands
some years ago to complete her new
plan of defense, but has not been able
to do so.
1t was here that the naval encounter
took place in which the Russians
were driven back into the Gulf Of Fin
land to their main line of defense. The
Germans now hold the position In the
islands, which furnish cover and pro-
lection to them. From this position
they could land forces in Finland,
along the Gulf of Bothnia coast. But
Finland is difficult country through
which to make progress on foot or by
rail.
Why libau ls Important.
Another objective point Of the Ger
mans has been the Russian Baltic
port of Libau, although the reported
bombardment here was merely re-
connoisance.

CURRENT COMMENT
The Anti-war Sentiment.

The amount of anti-war sentiment in
the United States at present is fairly as.
tonishing. Secretary Bryan's dove of
peace, so much cackled at, would get a
clamorous vote of confidence in any part
of the United States. The peace socie-
ties, with little activity, might easily
increase their membership by millions.
The bitterness against war is especial
y acute among stock brokers' who are
entirely put out of business. Ordinarily
they are indifferent regarding war
Some, in fact, they very frankly enjoy
and approve, particularly the wars that
concern only two nations, which act as
a delightful stimulus to the market and
make speculation boom.
But this experience of practically all
Europe suddenly blowing off the lid like
Vesuvius its topmost crust, has turned
the coolest blooded of our stock ticker
economists into raving partisans of uni
verssl peace. To prove this rather
amazing assertion, il is only necessary
to quote from the Boston organ of that
eminent paeifist and world peace dream
er, Mr.. Barron, who also directs the
Wall Street journal:
There is a tremendous unanimity of
sentiment on the street in favor of the
United States lending all possible sup
port to maintaining the worlds ciyiliza-
ton
There is not q word in financial circles
in defense of Germany. Some very in
teligent people express their firm belief
that the German emperor has always
been mentally affected. Unprintable ex-
pressions concerning the war lord and
what should be done with him as a crazy
person are heard in very intelligent and
informed financial quar-
tiers.
Ii Is beginning to be apparent that it |
no more right for war lords to go tum- !
bling around over the world with great |
armies and navies than il is for people |
to go through the main street of city /
carrying pistols in their pockets and |
looking for trouble.
II IS very possible that before this /
hing is ended there viii start the 4
greatest peace movement the world ever
knew The practical demonstrations OF |
what modern war on the grand scale can

] hideous mockery may be worth TO the
Ultimate cause of peace more than ar

presses could accomplish in a thousand
