self:control. And this absence of control led

on to inhumanity. They must have become aware before the 20 minutes shooting was over what their innocent quarry was; yet no attempt

at rescue or relief was attempted. They sneaked off, as a schoolboy would say, and made no attempt to communicate from any port, to their own headquarters of what they had perpetrated. But while panic, and panic on a scale which says little for the coolness or the discipline of Admiral Robjestvensky's squadron, seems to be the only conceivable explanation of the Russian action, it is a very uncomfortable explanation for the rest of the world. The hypothesis that there was a de liberate attempt to provoke and defy Great Britain is dismissed as being inconceivable. But the alternative supposition implies the most unmitigated condemnation of the morale. the discipline, and the competency of the Baltic Fleet.

troops used rifles. Fire was usually opened with the Brown Bess at 150 to 100 yards, whereas a magazine rifle of to-day is sighted at 3,500 yards. The improvements made in artillery is equally remarkable. In the Crimea muzzle-loading guns were used. These fired ball shot, and their extreme range, with the utmost elevation, was about three mileı-a distance that must be halved for true and ac. curate firing. To-day a 47 gun fires a 45lb. projectile with accuracy at 8,000 yards. In the Crimea shells were only fired from how. itzers and mortars, and, of course, the quick. ring gun, a terrible weapon nowadays, was

unknown.

Perhaps the point of comparison between the two singes that is of the greatest interest in that of equipment. The Japanese soldiers have gone to war better equipped than soldiers have ever been, with medical department and Red Cross Society perfectly organised.
