Russia on the Afghan Border.

THE TIME FOR ACTION.

The correspondent < f the Berliner. TageblaU in 8t Petersburg has hud a conversation with a prominent repre* tentative Russian General of the Staff on the subject of Russian readiness oa the Afghan frontier. The Berlin cor respondent of the Daily Chronicle, who translates the article, states that the officer's nami is not given, but he if said to be a general.

Speaking of General Koropatkin and his visit to Central Asia, the Gene* ral said that the War Minister's abili ties far surpass those of the late General FkobelofF, His knowledge of Buesian Central Asia is moat extensive. During his term of office in Askhabad General Kurcpatkin supplied much useful typographical material bearing on the military position on the fron tiers of Afghanistan, India, the Famirt, and China.

No official telegrams relating to General Kuropatkin's movements after October 13 had been published, It was quite possible, therefore, that the period between the 14th and the 28th had been used to visit Kushk and the Afghan frontier stations, especially as a direct line of railway runs from Merv along the bank of the Murgab to Kushk, The representative Russian General next turned his attention to the position of affairs in Afghanistan, and to the English and Ruasiau pre parations. He said :-—

< Peshawar is 200 versts from Cabal, and Kusbk is hardly 100 versts from Herat. British field hospitals were mobilised on October 11 for unknown reasons. On the 22nd 150 Maxim guns were sent from England to India; Just at the same time the Russian War Minister makes his journey of inspection into regions never before visited by a Minister of War, conse* quently——' " • Here he broke off, and shrugged hit shoulders as the correspondent added : ' Consequently Russia must supply England with the necessary material for its field hospitals,'

Asked if be expected action in Afghanistan, the General saidT as long as Uingland remains passive in India, and does not send even the smallest body of troops into Afghanistan, Russia also wi!l remain passive. Should Eng land neglect to observe this paaaivs attitude, Russia will advance into Afghanistan and the Pamirs much quicker than it advanced oo Peking. The General's concluding remarks were : ' The military prestige of Eng land is nil. Under cover of buying Austrian and German remounts, she has bought 80,000 Russian horses, roost of them useless, Lately in Riga she enlisted thirty ragged beggars for Africa, and a recent attempt of a simi lar nature in a certain South Russian province has ridiculously failed. We want no buffer Stste between Russia and England,'

•If,' asked the correspondent, in conclusion, ' England's Impotence Is so glaring, is not this the right moment to take advantage V c Yes,' said the General, * but it is not easy to make a decision. The Kaiser, as the friend of England, objects. Besides, there are the family relationships of (the Russian, Danish, and English Royalties, which give trouble.'
