PETROGRAD, Sept. 23.—After
the manner in which Japanese sol-
diers proved so superior to Rus-
sians in the Russo-Japanese con-
flict, it is difficult, no doubt, for
people to understand the seem-
ingly wonderful improvement in
the effectiveness of the Russian
war machine as being demonstrat
ed in the present war.
Even members of the foreign
quarter here, who have made
Petrograd their home for year
could at first scarcely believe
' that the army which little Japan
whipped was breaking up Emper-
ors Franz Josef’s army of more
than a million men. It was hard
to believe that this same Russsian
army was storming everything be-
fore it with reverses few and com
parativelv unimportant. But they
soon realized the three answers.
Russia has henel'iJed v°rty by
her mistakes in the Rustc-Jap-
anese war; the fighters n the
rank and file know what they are
giving up their lives for—for the
Slav race; the priests have work-
ed the army up to a pitch of reli-
gious fever and enthusiasm by
making war, for Russia, a llolv
War.
Acting under orders from the
Holy Synod in Petrograd, the en-
tire priesthood of the country for
| weeks before the war broke out,
have devoted almost their sole at-
tention toward stimulating a zeal
for war. The peasants, it must he
remembered are verv largely ui.
der the influence of their ..piritua:
advisers.
Germany has been held up to
execration as the sworn foe of the
Orthodox Uhurcli and this feeling
has gained as eager adherents oi
war the common soldiers and the
peasants classes. The Pan-Slavic
ideal has added to the supporters
of the government in its warlike
attitude, the middle and better ed-
ucated classes. These two things,
more than anything else are what
have united Russia and ended, at
least temporarily, the threatened
internal strife. Every body of
marching Russian troops is pre-
ceded by a priest of the Orthodox
Church, who, with his flowing
beard and long black garment, is
a striking enough figure. The
priest carries a cross, or is attend
ed by a cross hearer, who hears
the burden of the holy image for
him. The military hands play
sacred music alternately with the
barbaric march-music that suits
these warriors of Tartar blood.
It is not merely a war, it is a
holy crusade on which the soldiers
of Russia feel that they are en-
gaged. In the camps ami places'
of bivouac, in tin* forts of the forti j
fied towns, wherever troops are
assembled or moving, the religious
element is very much in evidence:
the piiest play as important a part
as the officer in the preparatory
stages, at least, of the capaign.
