IN RUSSIA'S
FAVOR
A Comparison of Op
posing Forces of Japan
and Russia Seems to
Favor Russia.
St. ?etersburg, March lft The
Journal today prints a comparison o'
the opposing forces of Russia and
Japan in the war in the East, saying
t.iat Russia baa ' superiority in land
armament by 76 oannon,' but is in
(erior in warships, whtoh however,
is compensated in artillery at Ru
aian ooast forta valor of Ruasisn
sailors and the neoeesity (or the Jap
anese to set apart a number of ;-wai-shipsaa
transport esoorta to guard
oornmunioatious.
There is no doubt as to the issue
uf a naval war being the destruction
of the Japanese fleet, It is only a
question ol the time when the Baltic
squadron makes its appearance in
Eastern waters undei the most bril
liant of Russian admirals. '
Tlio artiole was apparently written
