"Aa long as Kuropatkln Is In command," says another, "there can be nothing but disgrace tn store for Russia. Tbe army resembles a dlsordsrly rabbis In a pot house rather than an organised force." and looks upon Its leader with "pitying contempt" rather than that feeling of love and admiration which the Ruaslan correspondents would hav us-believe Is entertained toward him. '- . .The legend to the effect that Btakel berg's disastrous fiasco was the result Of orders received from Bt Petersburg is disposed of by a correspondent who states that he saw with hla own eyes Kuropstkln's signature at, th foot of the plan which led to the disaster, and that he alone was responsible . for its conception and execution. . There appsara to be. only one general whom th army love snd reveres "Papa Ltnlevltoh," as th. soldiers call him. "Whatever corps I . visited," saya ths author of r one of the letters, "I everywhere heard the same chorus. If only they would send Papa here.' Sol diers and officers alike believe In him, snd under him would capture any posi tion you please. ' But he Is not a self advertiser like . Kuropatkln." "Tou yourselves In Bt - Petersburg are to blsme," he add. "His send-off was like the receptions accorded- to a victorious general on hla return, and now he's afraid to risk his skin or besmirch hla unearned reputation." Aa to the officers, we are told that "the great rate of mortality among them la not due to ths good shooting of the Japanese, hut to that of our own men." who take th opportunity presented by .

Th same writer adds that It I a no torious fact' that 'the. majority of the officers hide, themselves whsn lighting Is going on, and that. It la a common remark of Japanese prisoners to their captors, "Ah, if you Only had our offi cers, Thla tendency of skulk Is con firmed by an army doctor, wbo write that his hands' are full of malingerers from the commissioned ranks, wbo as soon as they have received .the merest scratch rueh Into hospital and move heaven and earth In order' to be sent back to Russsis.'
