WHERE LIFE IS VERY CHEAP
Oang.r of Getting in Front of the
3uni During Ruasian War
Maneuvers.
Forty-two iirtlra rvtre shot during
the recent maneuvers of the Kueeian
army. The announcement lb tilldly
made by the minister of war He
adds "These men. were In advance of
the guns."
As guns do not ordinarily shoot
backward the minister's cryptic ex-
planation may be considered super-
fluous. The Incident Is iierhaps In-
teresting chiefly because of the light
It throws on llussia's official attitude
toward the value of buman life. It
fits In aptly with the reports of exe-
cutions Imprisonments and exiles
which coming from all iarts of the
cr.ar's domains keep the world in-
formed of the progress of heartless
oppression.
It fs not surprising that the empire
Is rocked with discontent that ob-
servers believe the government faces
another costly revolution. A nation
.cannot place so low a value on the
llv of Its subjects without ultimately
reaping Hr reward In blood and ter-
ror. Accidents In military maneuvers are
not uncommon. They have occurred
In the Cnlted States and doubtless
will continue to occur from time to
time as long as military training Is
held a necessary part of every na-
tion's list of obligations. It has re-
mained for Russia however to send
soldiers "In advance of the guns" to
be shot and for a minister of the
esar's government to announce the
blunder to the wttrld with as much
unconcern apparently as he might
announce the departure of a detach-
ment for patrol duty on tbe Persian
frontier.
