DISAFFECTION IN THE RUSSIAN ARMY.
REMARKABLE PARTICULARS.

IT IS DIFFERENT NOW.. Once upon a time students of medicine hold the notion that there were as many different diseases as the body has organs and parts; every one of these ailments requiring a different treatment. So stupid a mistake could lead only to miserable failures. For the fact is, the body is a single machine; and what concerns one part of it concerns, more or less closely, all the rest. Thus we see how it happens that are remedy, or mode of treat ment, may relieve and cure a variety of complaints,--or what may appear like a variety, but are really various forms or out- comings of the same CRUSO. Take, for example, Anemia, Scrofula, Poverty of Blood, Diseases, etc.—a formidable array indeed they General Debility, Influenca. Throat and Lung
A correspondent sends an interesting article to the London Times in which he points out that small but significant incidents recorded from time to time indicate that the ferment of rebellious discontent in Russia bas penetrated even to the ranks of the army. He sends a copy of a secret circular, heuring the signature of Generi Kuropatkine, Minister for War, issued to the Commanders-in-Chief of certain districts. In this circular it is stated that the attempts of political agitators to spread their propaganda in the Anay—a rare occurrence in former years have been frequently repeated of late, and such is the insolence of these at tempts that it has become necessary to cal! serious attention to the matter. It seems that so-called seditious proclamations and pamphlook to be; vet
were
lets have been found in certain barracks, evidently, received from abread. These were on such matters as "The abolition of permanent armies," the "Pater Noster of a Soldier," inciting soldiers against their chiels. Others u-ged anti-Governmental political demonstra. tions. Some of these circulars (which have been found in barracks in various parts of the coun try) are signed by the Russian Workmen's Social Democratic Party and the Social Demo cratic League of Siberia. It was also discovered that revolutionary leaders were endeavouring 10 personally influence the soldiers, and finally it was ascertained that a propavanda had been organised among the soldiers of the Ekaterino- slav regiment of Grenadiers of the Imperial Guard. This propaganda no longer came from the outside and from persons who strangers to the army, but from the soldiers themselves, and the chief of the organisation was a soldier of the said regiment named Alchansky. He had concealed the fact he was entitled to a shorter period of military service so as to be able in continue for a longer time his work of propaganda among the soldiers. While he was with the regiment Alchansky energetically propagated revolutionary ideas in his personal conversations with other soldiers and also by distributing a great number of pamphlets, prociamations, &c. A consider able number of soldiers collaborated with him. Others, while not taking any active part in his efforts, tolerated this propaganda, Other instances are enumerated in the War Minister's circular, which concludes: "We have good reason to believe, considering the precautions taken by these subterranean agitators, that there are many cases which remain unknown not only to the superior but even to the inferior officers. Nevertheless, the c.ses mentioned show that the revolutionary and Socialist striving with perseverance to groups are propagate their ideas in the army. They send by post, addressed to the, officers or the saldiers, or they throw into the courts of the barracks appeals and proclamations, &c.; or else they engage in personal conversations with the soldiers," and arks the opinion of the Commander-in-Chief to whom it is addressed as to the best means for "urgling against this sad phenomenon,"
Before the Minister for War issued the secret circular individual officers had also Issued appeals against the attempts to famper with the loyalty of the troops. Here, for instance, is one, dated August 5, 1952, and signed by the Chief of the General S, Lieutenant. General Zander :-" The Chief in Command of the Military district has ordered that the serious attention of the chiefs of brigades shall be called to the necessity of being very careful in their choice of the men for the shooting schools and in the nomination of petty officers. This is necessary because they are often selected. from among those who come from factories and towns. They are more intelligent and know how to read and write; but it is precisely these men who are spoilt before, Joining the service."
The correspondent adds that all these efforts, whether on the part of the Minister of War or of officers in command of military districts, and many other endeavours not recorded have produced but partial effects, The revolutionary propaganda in the ranks of the army still continues, and the correspondent furnishes interesting commentary a typical incident that had just occurred at Vilna, Here, as on several former occasions
AS
an
a proclamation specially addressed to the army was distributed to the officers and troops of the garrison by the local Social Democratic. organisation. All the copies of this proclama. tion were punctually and promptly handed over to the police by the soldiers who had received them. Such real seemed peculiar, as it was known that some of the troops sympa. thised with the revolutionary movement, and inquiries were made. An officer then explained that the police were now printing and distribut ing circulars or appeals that purported, to have been issued by revolutionary organisations. By this means the police were testing the loyalty of the troops, and those who failed at once to return the pretended revolutionary documents were either arrested or carefully watched. In the fear that the last appeal of the Social Democrats might have emanated from the police, all the copies had been handed over to the authorities.
The correspondent says this seditious temper is widespread, oberwise the War Minister would keep the matter quiet; for a circular such as that referred to above, even though intended to be kept secret, must almost neces sarily disturb the officers to whom it is aả, dressed, and perhaps even encourage in the minds of some of them the rebelilous disposi tion which it is designed to quell,
