St. Petersburg, Jan. 1 The Russ says that the First di on of ihe Third Pacific squadron wiil leave Li- bau at the end of January ana wil consist of the warships Admiral Sei- javin, Genelal Aamiral Apiaxine, Ad- miral Oushakoff and Nicholas I, the cruiser Viadimir Monomsh and several torpedo boat destroyers -and torpedo boats. In a lengthy review of the military situation the Novoe Vremya urges the immediate reinforcement of Vladivos- tok, the island of Sakhalin and Kam- chatka. The paper says: “There is little probability of the Russians being caught as unprepared at Vladivostok as at Port’Arthur, hut the moral responsibility rests ‘upon tie government to see that nothing in ihe way of defensive preparation is over-| looked. Sakhalin and Kamchatka are both harder to defend and have aj scantier population, but beth are rich in mineral and other resources and are especially tempting to the Japa-; nese, to whose scheme for national ex- pansion they are necessary.” Touching on the general peace talk in the foreign press the Novoe Vremya summarizes- the list of Russian re verses in the present war and a: if it is possible tc consider the question of peace witkout substantial Russian victories.
