Japanese Victory to Togos
Preparedness
V
H HIt It is 1 the beginning of the end I can
see ho no other outcome than that Russia
will su sue for peace
Admiral George Dewey commanderin
chief of the United States navy made
this declaratlcnto declaration n to a reporter from The
Times when shown a dispatch from fro m
Tokyo this morning giving Admiral
Togos report of the total losses sus ¬
tabled by the Russian fleet in the en ¬
gagement of Satur Saturday day and Sunday
Admiral Deweys further furth r comment
was In my opinion the victory of
the Japanese may be attributed to their
training and preparedness Doubtless
the same spirit was exhibited eX lblted that they
carried with them in their assaults on
Port Arthur Such advices as we wehave have
would W 0 uld seem to show that tha t the Japanese Ta paneso I
achieved their victory by hurling tor ¬
pedo boats against nga nst the > Russians I
Japan Was Prepared
Still we cannot ascribe their success
to tliis thIs alone It is not to be supposed
that the two Russian battleships re ¬
ported captured would surrender to the
torpedo boats alone Admiral Tpgos ogos
training and preparedness throughout
his hi fleet I am convince d is r responsible
for his victory In the great greatnDval naval en ¬
gagement
Throughout the day Admiral Dewej
exhibited the keenest possible interest
in the details of the fighting with bulle ¬
tins of which he was furnished turnlshedbyn by news ws ¬
paper representatives rcpres ntatives as well w n as by the
Navy Nav y i Department Dep rtment agencies Talking
with some of his fellowofficers Admiral
Dewey went over all a U the details detnllsof of the
battle and an it was the absorbing abJOrbl gtoplc topic
of tho day Admiral Dewey Dewe r repeatedly
expressing the V view that It was the
beginning of the end
It takes a alQng long time to t build a It i fleet

see how Russ R Russia ss ia lals is now in ina a position position to
