Possibly 260,000 men (according to the estimates made at the German aimlralty) will be in the field before a collision takes place with the Rua l,s In force. E;xptrt naval opinion' in Berlin Justified the Japanese In landing before the Russian fleet la destroyed, aa to watt until that Is might mean a delay in the land opera tlons for months, consequent on the strengthening of Russia's forces.

' The regular reports of their movements to the admiralty make no men tion of.suoh an lnoldent. It is added that even if It happened. It Is 'assumed to have been an excusable mistake. The Marine Rundschau, tbe semi-official publication of the admiralty has. Issued the flrcl of a series of pamphlets designed to koep German naval .officers informed as to what la happening In the far east and ths meaning thereof. ..After reciting the pre parations on. both sides and giving profes sional estimates of the Strength, of the fleets, the Marine Rundschau says: The Russians fired the first shot from the Korlots, doubtless becailse the Japan ese torpedo bouts were creeping nenr. The Russian Port Arthur squadron relied too much on protective nets, and obviously was surprised. The commander made a serious plunder '.n having two ships at Chemulpo and cne at Che Foo (Shanghai) separated from tho main body. If these ships were sent to observe the Japanese thev did It badly. when the Japanese squadron withdrew from Port Arthur February 10. the Rus sians ought to have followed and kept In touch with It by means of swift scouts aa the Russian commander now is Ignorant of where it went. The conduct of the Russian ships In retiring to cover In the inner harbor In dicates that they will not again engage the enemy at sea. In the harbor many of the Russian guna will not be effective.
