Rurn Petition DifficuIt.

The position of Russia in regard to
obtaining war supplies has been one
of unusual difficulty.
The Russians as a people are not
given to industrial pursuits and
their manufacturing plants utilized
for the production of guns and am
munition were manned and directed
largely by Germans at the time the
war began. The dispossession Of the
powerful German element in Russia,
which occurred in the early period
of the war, left the nation unprepared
to operate effectively even the lin
tied number of establishments at it's
disposal.
Russia obtained considerable amount
of supplies from Japan by railroad, but
this source was cut off suddenly for
some time in the spring. The crisis in
the relations between Japan and China.
became so serious that Japan, foreseeing
the possibilities Of hostilit,es, devoted its
energies to the accumulation Of war sup
piles for itself.

Russia from Pacific ports have consisted

trucks and other heavy equipment.
Could Help Little.
France and England have found that
the unexpected demand for ammunition
during the war-haA strained their re-
sources to the utmost. 50 that they have
been abel to lend Russia little assistance
In this respect. The Inauguration of the
great Austro-GermRn movement found
Russia unable to meet the emergency
with any such array Of guns and shells
as were possessed by its opponents. Rus
sian military experts attribute to this
fact the rapidity of the Austro-German
advance. stating that the fall of Warsaw,
as we'll as the events which preceded it,
was brought on largely by this state of
affairs.
Advices received by the sAsociated
Press from Vladivostok several weeks
ago said that great amounts of supplies
were received there for transportation to
the Russian front Word was received
from Toxic early this month that Japan
had stripped large coast guns from is
Qualifications on the northeastern coast
and had shipped them to Vladivostok.
