RUSSIA IN FAR EAST
EVIDENCE OF WEAKNESS
NEWSPAPER CONCLUSION
LONDON, May 10. The "Daily Express" says: the fact that Russia is willing to sell tho Chinese Eastoru Railway, maintaining comparatively weak forces in her maritime provinces and in the Amur region, while reserving: her best forces for inner Siberia, is urfruistakable proof that Moscow is prepared for the inevitable loss of her Pacific dominions. It means also that sooner' or later Vladivostok will be the sole ocean <nitlet for Eussia's Asiatic territories, which are at the mercy of the Japanese fleet. Japan has won tho economic war. The second phase may bo as bloodless as the first.
Vladivostok, since tho Russo-Japanese War of 1904, has been the solo ocean outlet for Russia's Asiatic territories.
