Two items of interest with regard to Russia's naval force in the Far East ate mentioned in the latest home paper. The Odessa Novosti states that two ships of the Russian Volunteer Fleet, the Moskea and Kherson, have been pur- chased by the Russian Admiralty in order to be placed at the disposal of Admirat Alexsúeft for transport purposes in the Far East.
