ADMIKALS BLUNDER,

PROBABLE INVASION OF VLADIVOSTOK,

The Tsar has appointa l'Admiral Alexeieff in supreme command bath on sea and on land.

The better man by fat for the land was General Kuropatkin with a free hand. He is a thoroughly capable officer believed in by those under him, and one of the few who have constantly laboured for efficiency. There is

thorities believe in him.

It is probably only the danger of a dual con- trol that has led to his being put below Admiral Alexeleff in authority. The work he may de will depend upon how much Admiral Alexeieff exercises that authority. General Kurop ikin with a free hand will be a very serious oppon.

Everything suggests that the Russians were not altogether caught napping by the torpedo: attack. There is no special reason to think that their look-out was bad, as it is reported to be. The fact that only one searchlight was burning would seem to be established, but that was one too many. A searchlight is a useful guide to the alinck. It shows where the fleetent for japan to meet.

19.

Adraizal Stark's deadly crror lay in being at anchor in the outer roadstead, and in under- estimating the value of the torpedo at sea and against ships in motion. The value of this weapon is not over and above great A well- handled fleet need not fear it, but against ships situated as the Russians were the torpedo is a dangerous foe, and Admiral Stark is likely to need all his interest to retain his command after what has happened. He was never the man to inspire that confidence in his officers which men like the Japanese Admiral Togo cau in spire. He is not so much a bad offic ras a medio re one-far too slow a thinker to be pitted against the rapidly thinking Japanese.

RUSSIA'S LUCK.

For the rest, guarding against sudden torpedo attack is a difficult malter, and it is early yet to blame the Russians for their disaster, saving over the fatal error of being where they were. The Japanese attack was conceived with the utmost brilliancy, and Russia is lucky to have got off so lightly as she did.

She might have lost every single ship in the fatal adstead; indeed, had the torpedo come fully up to expectations, she would have done

80,

Explanation is still required as to why only so few ships were torpedoed. judging by the light of orders issued in the Chino-Japanese war, the Japanese torpedo craft perhaps had orders 10 reture directly the Russians opened fire on them.

Probably the first the big ships know of the attack was the ex losion of the torpedoes, Admiral. Alexeieff's "received at the right time" does not go for much. Failing this sup- position, we are left with the conclusion that the torpedo attack was not carried out so well as it was conceived, or else that the tor-

pedo was a failure relatively. Any failure in the carrying out is a most tanlikely thing to any one who knows the Japanese, who are excel- lent at torpedo work.

Two other versions of the attack are given. One, the story about submarines, is altogether improbable; the other, for which a newspaper special correspondent is raspousible, is that the torpedoes were fired by four protected cruisers which crept up in the darkness. This would have been a bold, risky game, meaning des- truction were the craft recognised as ships. At night, however, it is difficult to tell. The advantage of Japan would have lain in the fact that the anti-torpedo craft guna would do

harm whatever to cruisers. It is very possi that this is the truth about the attack, but

The military situation is beginning to attract attention. Following the precedent of the China-Japanese war, the Japanese have at- tempted to land near Port Arthur. It is nf- ficially stated that all these attempts were fru strated by the defence, which is probable en- ough, because Russia has always had this as a possibility in view, and fortifications have been erected accordingly. But several of these de- fences are as yet incomplete, and, under cover of the Japanese fleet, à successful landing is likely enough, and then, unless the Russian army can defeat the invaders, Port Arthur will become a second Sebastopol and probably with Sebastopols fate.

The so-called "invasion of Korea" is not likely to amount to much yet awhile. One of Japan's main objects in the war was to secure Masampo-an ideal base she has long wished for. Here the pre.umption is she will con centrate against the time when Russian troops arrive to attack her earthworks

So long as she holds the sea the odds are against Russia turning her out. That Japan will be foolish enough to emulate Napoleon and invade far inland is doubtful. The result is too obvious. On the other hand, an invest- ment of Vladivostok is quite probable in the early future. Large flat-bottomed boats for this invasion were constructed some years ago.-London Chronicle.

AN ADMIRAL'S FOLLY.

But, when all is said and done, nothing can excuse the criminal folly of Admiral Stark in being caught as he was. There was a tacti- cal ortor afterwards, for the official report speaks of the Russians as proceeding to sea after the attacking boats This was madness

been next to no target practice. Arthur, the Russians seem to have shot no better than did the Spaniards at Santiago-de-

Cuba.

The description of the Novik, as in the forefront of the bastle" may mean that she made a desperate attempt to torpedo the Japanese. Just as probably it means that there was confusion due to the moral effect of the incident of the night before.

WILD SHOOTING, "Excellent shooting" is claimed for the Japanese, but the instances of it cited do not go to prove it. The Novik's survival indicates wild enough shooting in that direction, and the bursting of shella on the bench, or faces of the cliffs, of Port Arthur also means wild firing. On the other hand, the unofficial accounts convey the impression that one or two Japanese ships were shooting well.

Further details of the Chemulpo fight indi- cate more bad Russian gunnery and mediocre Japanese shooting.

The composition of the Japanese squadron is still a mystery. The Kaniwa, Takachiko, and Chiyoda are mentioned, but there may have been other ships. If not, the Varyag, properly handled, should have done considerable damage, for the three Japanese are old ships. They, however, mount between them four soln., six bio, and five 4.7in, guns, The Varyer could not take more than a couple of rain. hits, so there was never much question as to the

sue of the battle.

The news that both Russian ships fought to finish is confirmed. It was heroic madness. The madness that stored the coast with isolated Russian aquadrane was of quite another sort. In the face of all the Japanese preparations, the thing that was contemplated was obvious to anyone; it must have been obvious even to Admirals Alexoieff and Stark Our blunders In the initial stages of the South African war have been reproduced by Russia in another form very faithfully and very thoroughly.

The majority of Thursday's newspapers have written of the Poltava, Diana, Askold, and Novik as done for. Pending details of the damage, this is a hasty decision. The three
