Army Was Practically Destroyed
Before Revolution.
After Ten Months of Wax the Official
Oasnalties "Weie 800 000 Dut
the Autocratic Government Con-
cealed Its Inefficiency—Desire for
Peace Is Now Universa.
LONDON. Feb: 3.2.—Prof, Bernd
Pares, who taught Russian history
and literature in the University of
Liverpool, and is the official corre-
spondent of the 13ritish Government
on the Russian front, contributes a.n
interesting and impressive article to
the Daily News, on "The Tragedy of
Ruesia." 'Writing with an intimate
knowledge of R.ussia's early part in
the war, and of the causes that led
to her debacle, he says that one can
understand nothing without a knowl-
edge of the colossal Russians casual-
ties and also a lively sense of their
inevitable bearing, and 9n.• this she
sa.ys; 'fhe Russian army- has done
its duty and has perished eight times
over in doing it. It's for us to under-
stand the position thus created.' The
sin was the sin of autocracy, as are
three-quarters of the troubles from
which Russia is n,ow suffering; but
the inevitable resnit is that over-
whelming war -weariness '''Which, for
the now emancipated millions of Rus-
sia, blurs out almost everything else
in a universal longing for peape."
Of the enormous losses of the Rus-
sian army, he writes: ..
"After ten months of war the Rus-
sians, according to statistics given me
then by their War .Oce, had lost
3,800,000 men in killed, wounded and
pi•isoners. In the drive•into Galicia,
in 1915, through most of which I
went, and, -also, through the retreat,
the loss of men which the Rutsians
acknowledged, was fa, less than their
real loss. The army owned to tho
loss of 150,000 men out of 350,000,
but more often than not,- I found a
company of 250 reduced by -Casualties
to 40, ind that was only half -way
througlm the retreat': One cannot for -
gat the wholesale nightmare of men
sent up, untrained and without rifles,
end returning as cripples, two days
'sires .0n the Warsaw front a whole
vision was sent under shrapnel
thout rliles, and men who had, no
altnets, tried, as elsewhere, to cover
'heir heads with spades, As a result
'this lack of equipment, enormous
numbers of cripples for life ,were
spread Wholesale aversviljages where
they were, often, alro.oSt the only men
left. - -
"Meanwhile War Minister Suit-
homlinov refused all offers of muni-
tions from factories not run by. the
GoVernment. It was -the general and
chief of staff of the army and the
director of artillery in Petrograd. that
urged me ,to beg for them every pos-
sible help 'frem England, and thls I
did on reaching London in a memo-
randum, in which I represented. a
revolution, and also chaos as inevit-
able. I was in this supported by -the
military knowledge and conspicuous
ability of G -en. Knox, who, before
and since., almost exclusively devoted
himself in supplying the tragical
needs of the Russian soldier,
"Loi'd Kitchener and Lloyd Geprge
both did all that was humanly pos-
sible for the Russian army—as much
as the most devoted Russian Minis-
ter could have doge under the con-
ditions.
"SloTrever, the criminal incompe-
tence of the Russian Government
continued, and with the same results.
In May, 1916, I was present at a
--atss.''seteoffensisse on Lake Naroeh, of
110 news had reached the pub -
and hardly any reached even our
epsesantatives at Russian Imperial
-adquarters. We had. now some ar-
lilery to concentrate at a given point.
this we attacked for a month,
....Iv:laced a mile and a half and lost
60 per cent. of our men. Practically
ail our artillery and aeroplanes were
taken from us. The Germans fell on
us a day or two later, and it was
sheer butchery, conducted systemati-
eally, with full knowledge of our im-
potence. Of our troops, which had
again been brought up to full
strength, all the battlements in the
front line were reducji by nine -tenths
without our being able to inflict any
loss in reply.
"Shortly before the break up of
the army, I found that the average
units, with whom I lived, had been
renewed entirely between, eight and
Len times. Please realize the num-
bers of the Russian army and then
tell yourself that every place has
been filled eight or ten times/over.
As one soldier said; 'It is not fight -
Ing; it is slaughter.'
Anarchy in Argentina.
BUENOS AIRES, Feb. 12.—A gen-
eral railroad Strike was called yester-
day throughout Argentina. Immedi-
ately upon quitting work the strikers
began. a wild anarchistic demonstra-
tion throughout the country. Trains
were wrecked, tracks destroyed, cars
laden wl'th wheat were burned and
,svires cut, preventing news from the
-interior from reaching the city. Al
details are net known, many
passenger and cereal trains are stall-
ed at variouS points hi the republic.
Troops are being rushed to points
of greatest disorder in'Central Argen-
tina, The large yards in the outskirts
of Buenos Aires, which cover twenty-
two city blocks, were set on fire by
the strikers, who fought off the fire-
men all yesterday morning. Explod-
ing tank cars added to the conflagra-
tion. ,
The outbreak came almost without
warning. Its suddenness 'caught the
aiitherities unprepared. Railroad pro-
perty has been blown up and cars of
cereals and explosives weere ablaze be-
fqe anything untoward was antie1-
iated,
