GERMANY AND RUSSIA.
The London Timos, In a special ar
clo on increased armaments in Europe, points out (says 'a cable to tlte Sydney Sun) that the world's prefab have not suihciently noticed the influence of Russia on ■German project.. "When Germany, with 66,000,000 oi people, says the article', "begins to play beggar-my-neiglnbour with Russia and her 166,000,000, a wild-cat tax of £50,00a,000 on >th/& fortunes of the rich is likely to be only the first of a series. Russia's peace strength is 1,400,000, rising sometimes to neariy 2,000,000, and her annual influx of recruits averages 440,000. By. ji. stroke of the pen the Tsar can balance' tlie projected additions to the German Army. Russia lacks neithei men nor resources, and her army organisation has vastly improved. Therefore the Gorman Amy Bill must bo condemned for it* before it is passed, in so tar as JtUfc>ia is concerned."
