Japan is only partially and temporarily defeated, this would mean that Russia would be obliged to maintain a very large army in Manchuria and Corea for many docades, which would seriously impede her freedom of action in other parts of Asia and in Europe. Morcover she has not the means herself, and could hardly procure them from others, to open up either Man- churia or Corca, both of which are rich in products. A victory over Japan would, therefore, be of little use. At any rate, the Japanese, by what we saw of them from 1894 to 1895, and again from 1900 to 1901, weem hetter prepared and better equipped than the Russians; and, in Manchuria, they could count upon more than the passive as sistance of the native population.

UNREST IN THE BALKANS. Advices from all the Balkan countries point to the certainty of a general con- flagration in the Spring; this is regarded as an important factor in the Far Eastern situation because Russia is uot likely to desire to be engaged both in the Near and the Far East.
