Russia in the East.
1 ■ ■• MASSING OF TEOOPS. (Per Press Association.) Sydney, November 4. A Japanese paper, commenting on Russian intrigue in China, says ever 1 since last Autumn transports have been 1 coming from the Black Sea laden with 1 troops. None of these soldiers ever go . back. Allowing a steamer each fort- ; night and a thousand soldiers each ship, ; a formidable army is being thrown into , Eastern Siberia. The massing of troops . and warships has a deep significance. . These ships and men are not to be dir rected against Japan unless Japan in- , vites them. Russia's aim is less to in- , timidate Japan than to prepare for an extended ocenpancy of territory which , is necessary for the completion of her i railway. The information adds that Japan has opened the oyster, and Russia 1 will not be content with the shell.
