TOLSTOY ON THE WAR,

The dissertation upon the war by Count Lee Tolstoy which the Times publishes, is, remarks that journal, a remarkable document. It is nt once a confession of faith, a political manifesto, picture of the sufferings borne by the peasant soldiers of the Tsar, an illustration of the crade Idens fermenting in many of those soldiers' minds, and a curions and suggestive psychological study. It reveals with impressive distinctiveness the great gulf between the whole mental attitude of the purely European nations and that of the distinguished and influential Slav writer who has imperfectly assimilated certain disjointed phases of Euro- pean thought. In no country but Russia coul

with the same contempt as the theories of the late M. Bloch. Neither the dissemination of knowledge nor new institutions-oven did they include the establishment of the social republic itself can save mankind. Men have lost all rational guidance for their lives, and the ligher command which they are acquiring over matter only increases their power of mischief. Conver sion to Count Tolstoy's views is the sole remedy which can prevent them from rushing over the precipice and can bring about the millennium. | The Orthodox Church is attacked even more unsparingly, for the attempt to give a roligious character to the war is, as might have been expected, particularly repulsive to Count Tolstoy's deepest beliefs.

Then there wer dark dealings by specalators who, in Cores, wished to gain money out of other people's forests." These are the true causes, Chunt Tolstoy afirmas. for which the peasants have to die. Moreover, the war is being man- aged by those who have hatched it so badly. so negligently, all is so unprepared that many. more will have to die if it is to be prolonged, It is characteristic of Count Tolstoy that his condemnation of the Japanese for forcibly resisting the unprovoked aggression of his countrymen is hardly less severe tima his con- demnation of the aggressors.

In the latter part of the document, written after the battle of the Yalu. the Slav reformer assumes a still more ominous position. He Eska when are the deceived people going to take matters into their own hands? When he enquires, will they say to their rulors, "go. yourselves, you heartless Tears, Mikados, Min- isters, priesta, generals, editors, sporulators, or however you may be called; go you yourselves under those shells and billete, but we do not wish to go and we will not go"? He thinks it would be very natural for them to say this. Most of them, he pointedly observes, are able to read, and know that the Japanese · nee better armed than they are. Bat they will con- tinue to go, he affirms, not from patriotisms, but from fear. The conversations and the

letters he adduces to prove this assertion would be of the highest interest, could we believe that they represent the thoughts
