After looking through the ice chests
and other compartments in Third

said:

LACK EQUIPMENT
FOR ARMY. RECRUITS: E
Believed to Be Chief Reason Why
Russia Is Calling Small Number
to Battle Front.
IS FELT BY ALL NATIONS
Car Must Ship Supplies Through
Ports of Orient and From Japan,
Which is Itself Holding Back.
(By j. w. T. MasOn)

New York, Jan. 12.-Petrograd
makes the peculiar announcement
that less recruits are to be called tc
the colors during 1915, than if the
empire were not at war. About t.
100000 men reach the CONSUMPTION
age yearly in Russia Normally
100000 of these are accepted for
three years service, the rest being re.
tired to civilians life. This year
however, the car has issued an ukase
summoning only $4,000 of the 1915
recruits to the colors.
Petrograd explains that this in
crease in CONSUMPTION indicates the
confidence of the Russian govern
ment in the outcome of the war. Not
even st. Petersburg, however, can as
sert, however, that any responsible
official believes Russia is warranted
by military conditions, in discarding
more than Is per cent of the in
crease in the nations army. There
has been no indication that the orig
inal objective of reaching Berlin has
been Abandoned.
Still Hold Possession.
The Turks still hold possession of
part of the Caucasus and there is
still large portion of difficult terri
tory in front of the Russians, armies
in Bukovina, the Carpathians and
Buda Pest. Under these conditions it
is impossible to believe the Russians
regard they are able to do with less
than the usual supply of troops
The reason why the car has called
less than the usual supply of troops
to the colors is not the favorable con-
dition of the military system, but the
difficulty of obtaining equipment and
supplies is the serious problem of the
war facing all belligerents alike.
None of the hostile powers is able
to- utilize all the men at it's disposal.
The factories of the world cannot
turn out the necessary number Of
weapons. Russia is more heavily
handicapped than any other of the
allies in this respect, not only be-
cause her own factories are; of a lin
tied capacity, but because of her
geographical isolation makes i'm
ports from neutral nations difficult.
By Back Door.
The only available commercial en-
trance to Russia now is by the back
door, through the ports of the Orient.
Most of Russia's purchases of war
munitions are being made in Japan
and have to be sent to Manchuria
and then reshipped over the Trans
Siberian railway.
This is long journey and besides,
Japan is not allowing too much am
munition at present to leave her own
boundaries.
Therefore these would seem to be
the reasons why Russia is rejecting
so many recruits.
