That they will be able to keep the Germans and Austrians busy is n foregone conclusion and the sweep they are making at present, according to our daily des- paiches. show that the setback they received some week ago has not interfered very materially with their general A French journalist, who was permitted to visit Russia headquarters announces that the Grand Duke Nlchola entourage is highly optimistic as to the \var's prospects, and he quotes an officer as saying that by ten months' tim Germany will be exhausted, when Russia will begin he rcul campaign. Whether or no this oflicer correctly stats official opinion, it ls certain that the Russian Empire ha tremendous resources which should enable her to wag 'war for an indefinite period. In the matter of men she is enormously wealthy. In 1859 the Emplre’s populatlo was 74,000,000, and in 1898 the number had increased t 129,000,000. By 1904 the figures were 143,000,000, and in two years the natural growth had advanced them to 149,- 000,000. Today the population is estimated ut anywher from 170,000,000 to 180,000,000, and the growth is in th neighborhood of 3,000,000 annually. Faniines und epidem- ics that occur every now and again in some part or othe ot the vast territory carry oft' victims in the tens and eve hundreds of thousands, but have no appreciable effect 0 the total population. ln the Crimean War Russia's losse were 100,000, in the war with Turkey 172,000. and in th great war with Japan it is estimated that 350,000 perished. The losses in the terrible struggle around Mukden, wher Generul Kuropatkin failed, numbered 116,000 killed an wounded of the Russian army of 610,000 engaged. Desplt that disastrous conflict with the rising Empire of th Orient, Russia is again in the field opposing the wel equipped hosts of the most powerful military nation in the world. And no matter what those hosts do they cannot decisively defeat the Russian armies, so long us the people are behind the Government. The people are supporting their lenders today as never before. Internal dissenslon disappeared when the war began and shows no signs of renppearing. There is a common and ilaiigerous enemy in sight and on it the popular wrath is centred. So with proper organization Russia should be able to go' on attack- ing or defending as long as she wills, so for as men are concerned at any ratc. l1ussia's money resources are also enormous. The an- nual revenue ln normal times is something like $1,500,000,- 000_ The Government can borrow vast sums abroad, and at u pinch could mise great amounts at home. Foodstuffs are produced in almost unlimited quantities, and the ex- ports are hcuvy. Siberia is a territory that if properly cul- tivated could support a whole continent with grain. The natural wealth is there ns in other parts of the Empire. Altogether, Russia is a land capable oi' meeting a. situation that would discourage many another. There is justifica- tion for the boast oi' the officer who declared that the bear could fight for several years if necessary and hardly feel On the other hnnd the London papers publish a despatch from Petrograd telling of the immense forces which Ger- many and Austria have flung against the Russian lines in Galicia. This correspondent says that out of 9,000,000 avaliable Germans and 6,000,000 available Austrians not more than 3,000,000 have been put out of action, even temporarily, by the tremendous fighting in the eastern front. He does not believe the Russian position is yet so serious as was that of France and Great Britain in Sep- tember last, and he predicts that the Russians will soon recover the territory they recently evacuated. Neverthe- less, he suggests that Germany and Austria have approx- lmately 13,000,000 fighting men still fit for action. These figures ure undoubtedly exaggerated, probably to arouse greater enthusiasm among the Allies and encour- nge them to enlist. if the Germans have 9,000,000 avail- able soldiers, lt means that one sixth of her total popula- tion including men, women and children are capable of bearing arms. This, however, does not prevent the Ger- mans from making the announcement on which the Petro- grad correspondent made his calculation. LIFE INSURANCE RECORD _ In its review of life insurance business in t e d States and Canada in 1914, the Insurance Press of New York presents some remarkable figures. The war affected the insurance business as it did other lines ol’ commercial ncilvlty; but it was chiefly in connection with new busi- ness done and premium receipts, The total distributions by the companies reached the huge total oi' $086,700,000, and exceeded by $40,150,000 the record of- 1913. The claims paid in the two countries in 1914 weife $433,050,000; the payments on account of surrender values,'to annuitants and to policyholders in other countries were $253,650,000. There were increases in every branch and ‘a notably large one in the amount paid on account of_ olicies surrendered. There was slap fb;-iarge;la'crssser1a'i¢\!?polloy; loan account The Press says in this connection that the surrender of life insurance poilciesiridlthiil-eby-fthe disruption of pro tectlon have been discouraged strenuously by company ‘officials and field agents in the past few years, particularly since the business disturbance of 1907, but. embarrass ments in general lines of business and other adverse con lditlons have overcome to some degree the arguments for the retention of policies by the holders. The payments for surrendered and purchased policies in the United States 'amounted last year to $102,500,000. These figures have ents amen h Unite sr ‘<='l‘\\0 ted to nearly |60 000,000, and man of much wealth. who knew that in the event of his E ,is yto to Germany. it must also be' a matter of regret to self- B respecting sympatlilsers with the German cause who are also good Americans. , , , The stories of vast syndicates to buy out ammunition _/I ‘ u plants in this country, and stop the manufacture oi' sup- B plies for the Allies. have been smiled at by well-informed persons.
