The Russian Officer of To-day An intrepid horseman, a magnificent dancer, dashing and smart, clad in uniform and spurs (those spurs were inevitable), often drunk and always charming, such was — or is still — the popular conception of a Russian officer. Many years ago in a very modified degree this may have been somewhere near the mark. But this was indeed long ago. Above all, it was before the Russo-Japanese War. Though there were thousands of Russian officers in that war who distinguished them...selves in the face of terrible odds and displayed qualities of RUSSIA 23t foresight, organizing power, and resistance, yet there were others who proved inefficient, lacking in knowledge and often in moral stamina. It was necessary that such men should be elim- inated by the time Russia went to war again. And that she would go to war at no very distant date was an acknowledged fact even at that time. Every Japanese victory was hailed with delight in Germany. Also a sinister fact, one not known to the general public, was the absolute unreliableness of the projectiles supplied by German firms to the Russian army.
