By Angus Hamilton. Introduction.
3:43
Nothing. Is more natural than
3:45
the circumstances that war should
3:47
be the outcome of the
3:50
existing crisis. Yet.
3:52
Equally. Nothing. Is
3:54
less certain. If.
3:56
The area of hostilities were
3:58
not confined. The Far East.
4:01
And. The Power confronting Japan.
4:04
Were. Any other than Rush. The
4:07
outbreak of war might be
4:09
predicted positively. Bad
4:12
way to Russia. Consideration.
4:15
Of the strategic qualities of
4:17
her position in Manchuria. Must
4:20
exercise a paramount influence
4:22
upon her movements. Said.
4:26
Those who are not close
4:28
students says military history. As
4:31
well as to those who do
4:33
not possess an extensive knowledge of
4:35
the situation. The
4:37
position in which rusher is
4:39
placed equally. Afford the
4:42
keenest interest. Certainly.
4:46
In the Annals of Military
4:48
History. Excluding. The
4:50
March of Napoleon upon Mass kind.
4:53
There Is No War, which may
4:55
be said to have developed a
4:57
parallel to the task. Which.
4:59
The Sets Russia in Manchuria.
5:02
And Correll. Have
5:05
position at say. Moreover,
5:08
Is no better than that which
5:10
she holds on land. Upon.

5:20
off. At
5:23
say. Vladivostok.
5:25
Is cut off by reason of
5:27
it's position. While. It
5:30
is inaccessible on the accounts
5:32
of it's climate. These.
5:35
Points. Port. Arthur
5:37
and Vladivostok define the
5:39
extremities of the strategic
5:42
position. Which. Russia,
5:44
Jose Manchuria, Excluding.
5:47
Vladivostok at this moments.
5:49
From any a special
5:52
consideration. Port. Arthur
5:54
is Left said the opening moves
5:56
of this campaign. Therefore,
6:00
Port. Arthur with a single line
6:02
of communications. And it's rail.
6:05
From. Becomes the pivots of
6:07
the operations. The.
6:10
Aspect of point authors from
6:12
the say is uninviting. Rugged.

Around the bay. And
6:25

The headlines of the Harbor. Conforming
6:41
with the indentations of the
6:43

6:45
several base shallow and
6:48
unprofitable. Bad. Which
6:50
in time may become an important
6:52
a chance said the small area
6:54
of deep water. Which.
6:56
The harbor now possesses. Dredging.
7:00
Operations have been undertaken.
7:03
But. There is so much to be
7:05
done. That. Many years
7:07
must pass before poet also
7:10
receives any material addition. To.
7:12
It's very restricted accommodation.
7:16
The. Mods brought down by the
7:19
strains which mtn to the
7:21
harbour. Has. Already affected
7:23
the day border area. And
7:26
since the harbor was
7:29
constructed, who these deposits
7:31
have encroached vary considerably.
7:33
Upon. The deaths offshore.
7:37
At low water same is which
7:39
lie up within sixty say it
7:41
of the walls. Rest.
7:43
Upon mods in little more than a
7:46
sad them of water. And.
7:48
At the same time, the space
7:50
is so small that it is
7:52
impossible for a dozen vessels. To.
7:55
Anchor in the harbor with any
7:57
comfort. Same.
7:59
As. If any larger in
8:01
size than the small coasting birds
8:04
and which call at Port Arthur
8:06
from China and Japan. A.
8:08
Mass to anchor off the entrance.
8:11
Unloading and for a challenging
8:13
from junks or tenders. In
8:16
relation to the requirement of the
8:19
squadron, Port. Arthur is not
8:21
nearly large enough. When.
8:24
Cruises are taking in
8:26
stores. Battleships remain outside.
8:29
And arrangements which is manifestly
8:31
inconvenience in a period of
8:34
emergency. It. Was
8:36
for this reason. That. The
8:38
authorities constructed at Down the.
8:41
A few miles from the fortress
8:43
and within. Pay ten one be.
8:47
A new Town. Together.
8:49
With commercial dogs and was.
8:52
He. In order that Port Arthur
8:54
might be divided more particularly.
8:56
To. The needs of the Navy. Port.
9:00
Arthur is happy in the possession
9:02
of all those objects which to
9:04
I Naval Base. Our
9:07
component parts of it succeeds.
9:10
The. Dry dock somewhat
9:12
weekends and substantial. Is.
9:15
Three hundred and eighty five feet in
9:17
length. Thirty. Four Satan
9:19
dance. And eighty sate
9:22
broads. While. The Naval
9:24
Base and is a cool and
9:26
surface space to the title available.
9:29
Stammer Anchorage. In the hub, a
9:31
proper. When. The
9:33
dredging works in the harbor guys
9:35
have been completed. It
9:37
is hoped that I mean type
9:40
of for fans. Will. have
9:42
been obtained. This.
9:45
Systematic deepening of the harbor,
9:47
Will. Give to the slate
9:49
a service anchorage considerably in
9:52
excess of one square mile.
9:55
But. Until the work has been
9:57
executed, the value of Port
9:59
Arthur. As. A satisfactory
10:01
naval base. Is.
10:04
Infinitely less than the press
10:06
stage, which it enjoys as
10:08
an impregnable position. Port.
10:11
Arthur possesses a small parade
10:14
ground. Rifle. Range.
10:16
And. Artillery practice ground.
10:20
Til. Pado station and
10:22
training reservation. Which.
10:24
Will be enlarged when the base or
10:26
I've been down. There.
10:29
Is a flash light station
10:31
and various schools of instruction.
10:34
Torpedo, Gunnery.
10:36
To. Like our say. While.
10:39
The arsenals and workshops which are
10:41
built around the naval base and.
10:44
And. Within the Navy yards a
10:46
very thoroughly equipped. These
10:48
effects, however, Were. Mainly
10:51
taken over by Russia when
10:53
she seized Port Arthur. Their.
10:56
Existence at the present moments
10:58
tends to shire how impossible
11:00
it is to underestimate the
11:03
advantages. Which. Russia derives
11:05
from the possession of this
11:07
part. And. How
11:09
far Reaching out the consequences
11:11
of the months responder. Which.
11:14
Lord Salisbury committed. When he
11:16
acquiesce in, it's He separation.
11:20
Apart. From the defenses
11:22
Russia hitherto. Has
11:24
not added much to Port Arthur.
11:27
For. The main part the troops
11:29
have been quoted in the old
11:32
Chinese houses. Are. In the
11:34
form a barracks on the Chinese troops.
11:37
Affairs. Having been somewhat neglect
11:39
ads in the view of the
11:41
prior claim. Which. The Offenses
11:44
Hounds. Now.
11:46
However, Sign. Barracks
11:48
are in cause of construction. And.
11:51
If there is no war, It.
11:53
Is anticipated that ample accommodation will
11:55
be ready soon upon. The shows
11:58
have some of the by. And.
12:01
On the hills. The. Day
12:03
fences are indeed magnificence. Very.
12:06
Few of the thoughts which were
12:08
in existence cheering the time of
12:10
the Chinese were. Since.
12:13
The Russian government's and said
12:16
upon possession. The. Work
12:18
of extending the perimeter of the
12:20
defenses. As well as
12:22
strengthening the fortifications, Has
12:25
been a continuous labor. It
12:28
is quite clear. That. The
12:30
authorities are determined upon no
12:32
half measures. They
12:35
have gains port answer. And.
12:37
They proposed to cape it. Upon
12:40
the cliffs rising immediately from
12:42
the right of the harbor
12:44
entrance. There. Is a
12:46
most powerful position. Formed.
12:49
I believe. Of. A
12:51
battery of six twenty one and
12:53
crop guns. Which. Was
12:55
further supported by i fought placed
12:58
a few say about the harbor.
13:01
And swiping it's immediate France
13:03
containing eight ten inch. Had.
13:07
The corresponding elevations upon
13:09
the opposite headlands. There
13:11
were two similar thoughts
13:13
with identical batteries. A.
13:16
While the mine fields within the
13:18
harbor a controlled from these two
13:20
law positions. Following.
13:23
The hills to the south and
13:25
north. There. Are other
13:27
thoughts. One. In particular
13:29
have cried size. Is.
13:31
Placed upon the extreme crest of
13:34
the range. And. Towering
13:36
above all else. Sweeps.
13:39
The say and approaches to the
13:41
hombres had great distances. It.
13:44
Is impossible to detect the character
13:46
of these guns. That.
13:48
From their position and the extent
13:50
of the thoughts and the nature
13:53
of the pod which they are
13:55
intended to fail. At.
13:57
Is improbable that they can be
13:59
less than. Twenty seven Tongans,
14:02
Discharging. Shells have about five
14:04
hundred pounds. Of course
14:07
I fired for the command of
14:09
the say must proceed any land
14:11
operations. And. Japan is
14:13
within fifteen hours stay most her
14:16
son. Already. I
14:18
Japanese garrison town. And.
14:20
Amazon Power. The.
14:23
Ports to which Russia and Japan
14:25
make a call claim. The
14:28
stride separating Japan from Korea
14:30
is two hundred miles broad.
14:33
While. Russia near as base at
14:36
Port Arthur. Is. Nine
14:38
hundred miles away on one
14:40
hand. And. Vladivostok is
14:42
tall hundred miles away. On
14:44
the other. Had.
14:47
Follows their saw that in
14:49
Korea and not in Manchuria.
14:52
The. Troops of the Japanese army would
14:54
be landed. Once.
14:56
Established in Korea. And.
14:58
Japan would be able to dispute
15:01
the supremacy of the say on
15:03
equal terms. In. This
15:05
respect the possession by the
15:07
Japanese have numerous top aide
15:09
our craft. Can. Says
15:12
a distinct advantage upon them.
15:14
Since. It will be within
15:16
their power to utilize their services.
15:19
If. The Russian flights were two
15:22
attempts to check the movement. The.
15:25
Absence of any facilities for
15:28
repairing damage is max had
15:30
certain. Who. So far
15:32
as possible the Russian flights will
15:34
have a any serious engagements. He.
15:38
Had would be difficult to improve
15:40
upon the position of Japan in
15:42
this respect. Had
15:45
Yokosuka. From. Which place
15:47
say? Large number of Cruz's has
15:49
been launched. There
15:51
is a very extensive building
15:53
yards. And Japan
15:56
also possesses suitable dogs for
15:58
large ships at. You're.
16:00
And. Nagasaki. He.
16:03
Know. She. Has at
16:06
her immediate disposal some half
16:08
a dozen dunks. Four.
16:10
Hundred satan length all mall.
16:13
And. A very skillful army
16:15
of working mechanisms and worth
16:18
in general. Port.
16:20
Arthur must be regarded for
16:22
practical purposes. The. Naval
16:24
Base of Russia in the
16:26
forest in the events of
16:28
a cold weather campaign. Vladivostok.
16:32
Is too far removed from the
16:35
range of probable utility. At.
16:37
This port, however, Russia.
16:40
Has constructed one launch dry
16:42
dock. One. Floating Dog
16:45
Three hundred and one, Say long?
16:48
And. A second dry dog has been
16:50
laid down. Against.
16:53
These two solitary and
16:55
isolated senses. Japan.
16:57
Possesses naval bases,
17:00
arsenals, And. Dogs
17:02
and the following points on her
17:04
coast. The squadrons
17:06
which Japan and Russia will be
17:08
able to employ in this war.
17:11
Are very some medical. And
17:14
tearing the past few months,
17:16
H Power has made strenuous
17:18
efforts to increase the strength
17:20
of it's flights. In
17:23
the exigencies of active service,
17:25
it happens that the Russian
17:27
soldier most far edge for
17:29
himself. Under any
17:31
circumstances, however, Hey.
17:33
sustains himself on very
17:35
little nourishment, and realize
17:38
in a great measure upon when
17:40
he can find. The
17:42
Russian cavalry is armed
17:45
with sword, rifle, and
17:47
bayonet. The. Latter
17:49
is invariably carried fixed, even
17:51
when the weapon itself is
17:53
slow. As he
17:56
regiments only carry the lance.
17:59
The Field. Guns are still bright.
18:01
Light is manufactured at the a
18:04
book called works. They.
18:06
Are akin to the crop patton. Many.
18:09
However, have the uninterrupted
18:11
screw bridge pace and
18:13
that a bunch of
18:15
duration. Had
18:18
presence. there are many varieties
18:20
of artillery with the Russian
18:22
troops. Particularly.
18:25
In their fortified positions to

18:32
They made from the Chinese during

Embraced French and German.
18:39
And. British examples of
18:41
artillery. On.
18:43
Lands. The. A man
18:45
superiority of the reserve numbers
18:48
of the Russian reduces the
18:50
advantages which would accrue to
18:52
the Japanese. If. The
18:54
fighting was confined to the say.
18:57
At the same time, however, It.
19:00
Should be remembered that the Russian
19:02
troops as my move as. And.
19:05
Old though they may
19:07
exhibit magnificent endurance. And.

Although they may be relied upon

This. Policy of benevolence was

exhibited for the second time

during the Boxer Crisis. And
22:09
of course, the striking example

authored by the Japanese. In

comparison with the Russians was
22:17
not lost upon the Chinese.
22:20
These things are a call today

in Manchuria. And. They

may be calculated to

offset any reactionary sentiment.

24:04
Speculations. As to

absurd until something is nine

25:23
Represents. Approximately I capital
25:25
of one hundred million stowing.
25:28
Against to this accumulation it
25:31
is said. That the
25:33
financial position of Japan is most
25:35
favorable. There is
25:37
I believe a spacey reserve
25:39
in the Central bank. Which.
25:42
Amounts to one hundred and
25:44
thirteen million yen. Class:
25:47
Forty million Yen in London.
25:50
Moreover, the banks know it's
25:52
issuing margin is thirty five
25:55
million yen. Which. Will
25:57
be a larger after the new year. The
26:00
Treasury has three capital funds

some millions in London, Remaining.

There. Are large sums lying idle and

26:20
And ordinance has been issued
26:22
which provides the government's with
26:24
unlimited credit. The
26:27
more race and action of the Russians
26:29
in Manchuria. Tens. Of course
26:31
to support the veer that war
26:34
maybe eminence. Nevertheless,
26:37
Bluff is a component part
26:39
of Russian diplomacy. And
26:42
there is ground for believing that
26:44
the intentions of Russia in the
26:46
Far East. A By
26:48
no means so warlike as
26:50
the preparations now proceeding. And
26:53
the acts of the Russian
26:55
administrative officials in Manchuria itself
26:57
would imply. Russians.
27:00
Apply I'm a say always
27:02
covers the developments of it's
27:04
plans by preparing to demonstrates
27:06
in a contrary interaction. And
27:09
not the present time. Her
27:11
occupation of Korean territory is
27:13
lit allows than the screen.
27:16
Behind which she proposes to
27:19
secure her hauled upon Manchuria.
27:22
Nothing. Short of whoa, whoa
27:24
cause her to retire from her
27:27
position in Manchuria. That.
27:29
While Korean territory is of
27:31
little value to the Russian
27:33
protectorate, Whatever. The
27:35
compromise which may be affected
27:38
between Japan and Russia. She.
27:41
May be expected to make a
27:43
determined efforts to dominate the law
27:45
waters of the Alley River. In
27:48
Phoenix. Curious. As it
27:50
may same. The. Estuary of
27:53
the yeah earlier river is the
27:55
very low cal and the dispute
27:57
between the two powers. Then
28:00
safe rush hour wherever committed
28:02
to dominate the Yalu river.
28:05
She. Would gain at once that
28:07
special position upon the frontiers of
28:09
Korea. Which. Is
28:12
the desire of Japan to frustrate.
28:15
In this Japan can only rely
28:18
upon the show. It shifts of
28:20
diplomacy. And although the
28:22
Russian occupation of the on
28:24
Par may be circumvented, The.
28:27
Development of and town upon the
28:29
opposite sure of the river. Cannot
28:32
be prevented. It.
28:35
Seems therefore as inevitable that
28:37
some commanding position upon the
28:39
yeah river must ultimately fall
28:42
to her lot. And.
28:45
Town lies within Manchurian
28:47
territory. The. Yellow River
28:50
is the bought a strain
28:52
between Manchuria and Korea. And.
28:55
At young on power the nucleus
28:57
of an important Russian, the settlement

29:01
Future contains no promise of

present difficulty. Had

29:11
While. At the same time there is
29:14
presented in a manner. Singularly,
29:16
Clear and comprehensible. The
29:18
fact that Russia. Neither.
29:21
Will evacuate new Chang. Be.
29:24
Driven out of Manchuria. Nor
29:26
abandon her position on the Our

of Russia at new Chang. Has.
29:33
Been indicated by past events.
29:36
Her. Occupation of Manchuria is

an old story. And.

She is now engaged in the

Russia. Therefore, cannot well afford
34:18
to ignore the consequences of her
34:20
policy in the Far East. Nor.
34:23
The same time can she be
34:26
expected to sacrifice at the request

at such pains to fast now.

powerless to prevent either the

steady spread of Japanese influence. She.
35:06
Possesses neither army or navy
35:08
which can be poets to

any practical years. And
35:13
she is in that position in

which a country is place to

unable to raise his voice upon
