RUSSIA'S FORLORN HOPE,
CAN THE HALTIC FLEET REACH THE FAR EAST?
The report that the Russian Baltic Beet is. starting in real eamest for the Far East must raise the question: What chance this force has of arriving off Pezt Arthur? To Kive the answer, it is necessary to know the composition of the fleet, which is reported to be as follows:-
Battleship mod in Alexander III,
Battleships, older types, Navaria, Sixsoi, Alexander 11.
Old armoured crtisers, Nachmiov, Pamia Atova.
Other cruisers, Svietians, Rynda, Kornilov. O the way out these ships will pick up the small cruiser Almaz, fitted with a superb ban- quet room for Admiral Alexeieff, which was last reported at Algiers; the Oslinbya, Dmitri Donskai, Aurora, four torpedo-busts, and six lest nyers. It will then be composed of thr battleships (two modern) and eight craisers, to say nothing of the torpedo ve sels.
On pipe, then, it is a formidable fleet. Bu are first difficulty is to get out, as Russia has no coiling stations whatever on the line of route to the Pacific. There is a clear gap of 13.070 miles between Kronstadt and Port Arthur, which must be bridged in some way.
EMITY BUNKERS.
The supply of coal carried in the Russian, ship, bunker is, it need scarcely be said, altogether inadequate. The Navarin is known as a great consumer of fuel and a very bad steamer; her radins with full bunkers does not now in all probability exceed 3,000 miles. The Sissi, though a belier seaboat, has a very short alto vance of coal, and is not good for any great distance. The Alexander 11. has an endurance of about 3,000 miles, since she has a very old type of engine.
The Rynda is worst of all, though she is rigged and may perhaps be able to use sailpower. lut. her coal supply will not take her more than 2,500 miles,
The problem which faces the Russian Admir. If the alty is therefore a very grave one. ordinary route of Russian ships is followed, the following are the distances in sea-miles, ac- cording to the German tables:
Kronstadt to Kiel, 800 miles.
Kiel to Cuxhaven (using the canal, and assuming Germany violates her neutrality), 70 miles.
Cuxhaven to Algiers, 2,000,
Algiers to Port Said, 1,500;
Port Said to Suez, through the Suez Canal, 87.
Suez to Aden or Jibouti, 1,320
Aden or Jibouti to Colombo, 2,100, Colombo to Saigon, 2,115.
Saigon to Port Arthur, 2,200.
It will be observed that the ships with a supply only sufficient for 2,500 miles may be hard put in it to cover the gaps between some of the stations, even if they are given cant everywhere. They are certain to arrive with empty bunkers in the neighbourhood of the scene of war.
THE POSITION OF NEUTRALS.
But they cannot be given coal. In view of the fact that England was molcred to the extent of over £3,000,000 for supplying the Confederate cruisers during the American Civil War with fuel among other offences and that this award was made by an international court, all the Powers are likely to exercise great caution in allowing the Russians to coal.
By the terms of our proclamation of neutrality, no belligerent ship can be permitted to receive mare' coal in a British coaling station than is sufficient to-take ber back to the nearest port in her own country. That is to say, before she was allowed to coal at any British coaling station. the belligerent ship would have to give an undertaking that she was only shipping as much coat ns was needed to convey her home, and that she would proceed home. Attempts to evade this regulation by coaling now at the coaling station of one Power, now at that of another, would have to be met by a frank refusal to coal the ship.
If this rule were overthrows, if there were any departure from it there would be nothing to prevent the Japanese fleet, after finishing off the Russians in the Far East, from proceeding west and meeting the Russians at any selected paint. In that case, with fourteen powerful Japanese Armoured ships against a scratch lot of seven Armoured ships, half of them obsolete, the de- struction of one Russian fleet would be a moral certainty.
SOMEBODY'S GREAT ERROR. There is one other possibility which has to be faced The Russians may take collier with them, and attempt to coal either at sea or at the islands which abound in the Eastern seat. But here their difficulty will be the gap between Jibouti or Aden and Sumatra, a stretch of water where all the small islands belong to England, and where there are none but British coaling stations. This gap le just over 3,000 miles, and it would seem that the conl supply of the Rs. sian ships is ton amalt to carry them across it. Once past Singapore or Saigon the danger to the Russians will be very great indeed. The Japanese chain of positions comes as far south ar Formoss where-their--sbios will be able, If they like, to wait for the
