THURSDAY, MAY 17 lm°.

RUSSIA AND Bll'.'l`AlN.

The Russia of 200 years ago, in the mid- dle of the reign of Peter the Great had a population of 12,000,000; the Russia of to-

day has 130,000,000 people. The Russian Empire is next to that of Britain the largest in the world, and after Britain

respects the contrasts between the two

greatest world powers are very great.

The vast territory of Russiiiis compact and continuous. She has no colonies, or ,over sea possessions. From her far northern capital her armies can march on

£101

8,650,000 square miles.

The British Empire in its territorial

formation is the exact opposite of this. Its insular head is located in two small

dots upon the map of the Northern Sea. Far beyond the ocean on every sides lies the great bull: of her ll,000,000'square

miles and her 400,0ll).0[l) _oi population-

The Russia of today is making gigantic strides in material developement, in the construction of vast railway and canal

systems, in completing internal commun- ications, in organising 8'.1‘ea`t manufactur- ing industries. She issteadlly evolving a fleet tar more formidable than is needed
