' To one unfamiliar with the real. Russian spirit, this prediction would be but the announcement of a fore- gone conclusion, fpr it was based upon the admitted fact of Ruseies unpre- paredness at tha. beg -inning of . the war, and her apparent inability to as- seinble the necessary machinery with which to manufacture arms and am- munition to supply- her vest numeri- cal force. .• But, despite all ' adverse circum- stancbs, and while 'Much of her strate- gical territory was in the hands. of the enemy,. Russia has Surprised the world, not only ih "coming back," bet in the superior contage and. valor of her soldiery, and is now sweeping the foe before her as _chaff in the wind. There must be some adequate cause for this wonderful rthabilitation, that does not show itself on the surface.
