Risen to a Man.
“All England has risen as one man.
The internal discords which threatened
to disturb the empire have completely
evaporated and the Irish will lose no
opportunity to be in the thick of the
fray. Nearly every ablo-bodlod Eng
lishman has enlisted. They come from
all quarters and classes and quietly
and grimly go about the business of
war. There Is something deadly In
th(! atmosphere which looks as bad
for the kaiser as It did for Napoleon a
hundred years ago. This will be a
fight to the finish and the Impression
Is that England will not rest until the
military power of Germany has for
ever ceased to be a menace to the
peace of the world

RUSSIAN n
IN HUY
Officers Are the Best Trained
in Europe, Due to Their Ex
perience in the War With
Japan.
St. Petersburg Due to their ox-
I'rtsnoe In the »ar with Japun, the
officers of tin" Russian army wtre
estil tn lie the lie.it trained In Ku
rnpe at the beginning of the present
titanic conflict. The education of the
modern officer has radically changed
during the last few years. The de
velopment of present-day warfare has
tendered It necessary for him to ac
quire an ever Increasing burden of
knowledge so that on the continent
today the military officer Is certainly
one of the hardest worked members
of the community. Every year ma
noeuvers are made more realistic. But
nfter all. the best training for war Is
war. The Husstan army today con
tains ttie only men In Fhirope who
have had this training, as far as war
on a vast scale Is concerned. Tens of
thousands of officers and men who
ure In the fields with the Russian
army today have had the actual ex
perience In modern warfare on which
tho text-books of the other contend
ing armies are based.
Among the endless battalions who
ure now on the Prussian and Austrian
frontiers fighting the Germans and
their alliea, are any number of officers
who have made the Inevitable mis
takes committed by troops facing fire
for the first time.
All Seasoned Men.
11 is probable that every regiment
of Russian troops in action today
contains seasoned men who faced the
Inferno of Japanese fire at Tort Ar
thur. Mukden and the other deadly
combats of the Manchurian campaign.
Military experts understand the In
t ppredable moral effort which thu
presence of such veterans has on un
tried recruits.
Again these fire tried veterans are
opposing the Germans with their forty
four years of ceaseless drilling and
preparation for war. The conflict of
1914. five weeks old, has not yet dem
onstrated whether or or not book
training la equal to experience. The
world is eagerly watching the test.
The Russian officer, In social stand
ing and his relations with blu men Is
a sort of mean between the German
and French officer. I.lke the Ger
man he Is of official caate and per
haps may come from the nobility, but
often, like most of the French officers,
lie conies from humble origin, and
therefore Is on friendly and Intimate
terms with the men under hint The
Russian officer enters the military
academy very young, seven years or
thereabouts and remains tn training
ten or eleven years before he Is given
a commission.
Many Difficulties
The difficulties confronting the
Rueeian general staff In the present
war are many and great. While the
British army knows something of the
guarding of frontiers by its experi
ence in India, and the Gemiana and
French have had their Alaace-lior
raine frontiers to look after, huge

must always keep a big force at home
to look after her thousands of miles
of border*.
It Is an axiom of war to be prepared
to out-nun t>er an enemy at a given
point, but Russia has to be ready to
out-number her enemy at many points
hundreds and sometimes thousands of
miles from each other Another grave
obstacle In the way of the Russian
general staff now are the traditions
of bribery and corruption which still
remain tn certain circles of the Rus
sian bureaucracy.
