A RUSSO-JAPANESE "WAR, The Bildish public is slowly beginning to 845, when the terms of the Shimanoseki Treaty were announced, ls again approaching a danger cus point. We refer to the possibility of a collision in the Pacific between Russia and Jonas. We find la tha Chronicle a letter from Rursing correspondent, in which he discusses the question of whether Russia is ready for a war in the Pacific. He states that section of Ruslan society which can be called enlightened and progressivo asks : In It to bo war ? and if | so, who will be the enemy? Whert will be the scene of action? Are we really prepared for a European war? Could we hold our own azalost even such a Power as the Japan of to-day? The answers are not reassuring," and well-meaning | people, who regard politics from the point of vlaw of national developcosnt and prosperity, have every season to be uneasy. He goes on to Could we feel assured beforehand of victory In a war with Japan? Without considering the farther question of comblosion with European Powers or a gonoral war, we are compelled to own that the "Japiness would have a good off. chance of defeating as, paradoxical as such a statement must seem. Rusila, so powerful ustion, with a population of 130,000 009, and an army of 1,000,000 in peace and 2,503,00.00 wat-icoting!
