THE RUSSIAN RED CROSS
SOCIETY.
The Russian correspondents of the Tince reported last month that the administration of the Red Cross Society in the Far East had been subject to some very severe criticism in Russia Although any of its members are working with whato-hearted devation for the alleviation of the sufferings of the sick and wounded, there has been a great deal of peculation in the management of its funds. The Red Cross Society is divided into a number of local branches under out head administration at St. Petersburg. The Moscow branch above all others has become quite a byword among the poople. A great many charitable parsons have refused to give their money to the Moscow Red Cross Society, preferring to make their own arrangements. Thus the Moscow merchants, who have been particularly generons. have formed and equipped their own atabalanes train for the Far East, and the same has been done

REGISTRATION
OF
Another instauos of peculation which cour red out at the seat of the war was related to me by a Russian who had had to do with the equip ment of one of these private hospitals. A chief of police at Kronstadt, who had been dismissed and imprisoned for peculation some years ago, was appointed to an important position in the Red Cross Society and entrusted with a sun of. 000,000 roubles (£80,000) to be expended in the Far East. He went out there, and soon thei whole sum had disappeared, but nothing had been spent on the object for which it was in- tended. The affair came to light und the ex-chief of police was recalled, but actually given another appointment in the Red Cross Society's Loadquarters at St. Petersburg.

COST OF THE BATTLE-
OF LIAOYANG. -
What was the cost of the battle of Liaoyang? This is how, answers the Pall Mall Gazette, an expert in the manufacture of munitions reckons it up. There were 125,000 Russians and 150,000 Japanese. Deducting reserves and allowing for the fact that all could not be fighting at onea, some 60,000 Eussians and 80,000 Japanese were lighting for sixty hours, consuming 1,200 car. tridges per man, or a total of sixty millions, worth £400,000. The 300 cannon used in the battle fired some 450,00 shells at an average price of 88., or a total of £180,000. These sums do not, of course, include the cost of repairing the guns and caution, and, after two or three
