THE HONGKONG DAILY PRESS, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 10TH, 1915.
When all that has been sail, the fact remains that we are tolerably satisfied with those main departments concerned with the HRnagement of the war. One year of war has left us stronger in our naval arm than we were when we began, with German commerce driven from the seas, German The campaign for economy seems destined to produce some freak offshoots in the way steamship lines bankrupt.

Under these circunstances at home and abroad what can one say of the contemptible backbiters, and pessimists of the Harmsworthi type, who by their daily wailing give courage to the enemy, except that they are a danger and an insult to the patriotism of the people and the valour of our men?
WAR NEWS,
RUSSIA'S RESERVES.
GREAT NUMBERS STILL TO BE
CALLED UP,
The sows that the Tar has caled to the colours young men of 19 years of age might lead in England to a misconception. It would seem that all the reserves of men from 20 to 43 (the age at which, according to the Russian law, one is exempt from further military service) have already been exhausted, It would be so in Get

According to official statistics persons between nineteen If we exclude women and and forty amount to approximately 23 children and unfit, there will still be at Jet 8,000,000 available for military ser vice and quite fit. We may estimate that at the beginning of the war about 4,000,000 had been mobilised. If we take even the German estimats of Russian losses, which is undoubtedly greatly exaggerated, there will be still about 2,000,000 left in the fighting ranks at the present moment.
The yuong men of ninetzen-now-es1161- approximately amount to one million, su that if my above estimate is correct there are still three million fighting men avaie able for service.

MONGOLIAN TRIBESMES.
Great as these, reserves are, they by no means represent all the fighting material of which Russia is possessed. There are whole tribes, mostly nomads on the Ural, the borders of the Caspian Sea, and in Turkestan that are exempt from the ser vice. There are many reasons for this, the chief being that military service in Russia is considered as the most honour able service for the country. The members of this haif-Asiatic tribe are not consider ed class enough to be given this honour. However, the late General Skobeloff, the hero of the Russo-Turkish War, has already suggested that many of thes tribes, being bor ahorsemen, could render valuable service, especially on scouting

However the Germans may be pros pering in the East, they still seem to be seriously considering the possibility that they will not be able to hold their own in Franco. We have known for some time that they were preparing two new front lince across Belgium to provide against all possibilities in case of a retreat. The works of the Autwerp fortress, the base of one of these lines, appear to have been fairly, completed, and after the placing of the mysterious concrete tubes in the Scheldt dyko, north of the fortress, it seems that the Germans consider that the lower reaches of the river are sufficiently

"We know that the work on the right bank of the Mense from Namur to the German frontier is being carried on with feverish spead.

spendthrift methods, but there is no evidence to show that this case was one of them. It is asserted by those who have covered the British front that if a cont actor were given ten per cent. to run a salvage department he would make a fortune in a few weeks.
Next to the campaign in South-West Africa, the operations in the Cameroons are the most effective of the subsidiary ex peditions. The official description of the capture of the stronghold of Garua just published has brought home to the public the vastness of these overses operations.

This army operated alongside with Russia iu 1863 during the insurrection of Poland and in 1877 during the Russo-Turkish War. 10 proved to be one of the best fighting forces of the Russian Army.
