Meantime the great shipyards of Russia and of France, Germany, and of the United States have been busy building for Russia additional men-of-war of the most powerful types. A point which is often overlooked is that the development of Russian glows has been so hurried that the work has not yet been rendered suf- ficiently strong to bear the Strain of a contest.

It is now common knowledge that rawhile these undertakings have been treely given. ships and man have been quietly massed in Far Eastern waters, stores have bier accumulated and every preparation made to hold whlt she has obtained. Russia has already unostentatious- ly assured her military position by drafting something over 100.000 Lroopsiuto Manohuria, but she clear- ly realizes.that her future in the Far East depends less upon her soldiers than upon her ships and sailors. 'In the latter respect she is not ready. It was reported re- peatedly in cablegramS, mostly com- ing through Shanghai, that Russia had "ninety warships” massed at or near Port Arthur. Though Russia has made the most of resources, this is a gross exaggeration. She has accumulated a large number of non- fighting ships in the Far East be- cause she realizes that the Asiatic judges the menace of naval power less by guns and armor than by the number or tunnels and the general impreaion conveyed by an array of ships of all types. Wise in her knowledge of theeaatern mind, Rus- sia ha+ borrowed mmhaqt ships and acquired many of the volunteer fleet to swell the fleet in Far East- ern waters. and she has succeed- ed not only in impressing the Asiatic. but, what she can hardly have hoped for, the European as well.
