two or three hundred thousand Con

hold them against any number of
Russians. If I were in eomnmnd
there I would fortify those lines well,
and with tiiy ironclad gunboats I would
prevent the construction of any
bridges across the Danube. I would
send General Forest with twenty-five*

all the depots of supplies, railroads-

in the Black Sea would keep it free of
the enemy’s ships. I would destroy
their supplies at Odessa and any other
ports on the Black Sea. In other
words, I would bring starvation to my
assistance.' How long do you suppose
Russia could stand such a defensive
war? Moreover, I am confident that
