Russia as a Military Power. Railroads lead from subject but hostile Poland to Moscow aud Bt. I’otersburg. These cities, therefore, are not more in accessible than several other European capital*. Moreover, the Crimean war proved that Russia eaa bo exhausted aud defeated on her frontier. The Russian Government is based on foree. The theory is simple; but it renders a large standing .army essential. Without this coercive element tho gov ernment could not exist a day. Where tho consent of tho governed is regarded as something wholly irrelevant, a power ful subrttituto is required. Under such conditions an empire that includes a seventh part of tho habitable glolie, peo pled by nearly 90,000,000 of inhabitants, of many different races, speaking many languages, can only be • Bnccesfully po troled by an immense military force. As this pptrol must bo kept up in time of war even more rigorously thau in time of peace, it is always difficult,for tlm gov ernment to bring a largo force Into tho field without weakening, to a dangerous extent, the foundations upon which the empire rests. Bi 1812 Napoleon invaded Russia with a force of 450,000 men; but tho aggre gate of the Russian strength was some what less than 200,000. The govern ment ooped with the difficulties of the situation with unaccustomed energy in the hr to war with Turkey. 'The avowed intention was to make the contest short, sharp and decisivo. In November, 1870, tiso Russian army on the Danube was composed of 180,000 men. Another army of 69,000 men marched against Kars, in Asiatic Turkey. In tho follow ing April tho principal army had been swelled iu numbers to 246,000 metl, in cluding 40,000 Servian and Romntulian auxiliaries, and 6,000 of the Bulgarian militia. The army in Asia had also been increased to 79,000. Renewed and con tinual efforts were made to augment tho number of tho troops : but the greatest number brought into the field at any one time was 644,000, including both armies of attnek, with 73,411 meu scattered along the shores of tho Black Sea. This seems to be rather an impotent result when we consider that in ii’ebm arv, 1871, Prussia, with so much smaller KlsHon, invaded France with a force .000 men. _•> (Jetting Rid of Them, y! “Do yen really write out in the woods, I Sir.
