On certain occasion he accompanied the

offensive. The present military organiza-
tlon OF the German Empire was begun Inn
mediately after the war Of IsTo.',f, and Is
the plan of commission presided over by
the kroupring. aud inspired by Field-Har-
shal Won Moltke. II Is noteworthy that
this plan does not appear TO contemplate
the possibility of any future rupture with
Austria. Not one additional defensive
work has been erected along the Austrian
Ironller, whereas every strategic point on
the Russian border has been fortified. and
l6.,OOO.O0Of. have been expended TO make
the positions in Alsace-Lorraine impreg-
nable. Hitherto Germany has not been
formidable as maritime power. In 1870
her feet did not even venture TO come
out and fight the French fleet, which
awaited an engagement for weeks rainly.
But since then the Germans have de-
teIminod to become redoubtable by sea
as well a. by land. and have applied o.
00,0GG. to the defence oi their $50 miles
OF Baltic coast, besides 3S.000,0O TO the

ll3,000,0C0f. have been devoted TO Ulm,
Spandau. kdstrin. POsen, Thorn, and
k6nigsberg. In short. since 1873 Germany
has spent considerably more than 100000
000'. sor the feconStitutioD Of he- strong
holds. and, as have said. al the works, eS-
pCcially on The French line, are OF an essen
italy offensive character. The entrenched
camp at StraSburg Is a colossal subsistence
depot, where stand ready filed with sup
plies OF all kinds railway trains prepared 10
start IN any direction upon the receipt OF q
telegram from Berlin. Metz, Thion-
vile, and Sarre-Louis form what the
Germans call the Lorraine triangle, to
which al the forces OF the Empire
can converge, an1 OF which the apex,
Metz. is in respect TO French territory Ike
the sharp edge Of a wedge. And the rail-
way communications Ten lines lead 10
the Rhine. eight lead from the Rhine 10 the
theatre Of operations in Lorraine, and
seven connect with the strategic points
along the ViStula. Nothing has been over
looked or neglected by Th!ch the maximum
rapidity OF mobilization is Obtainable in the
two directions, from whence alone, it
seems, the Germans believed danger may
be apprehendod.
Colonel Hcnnebert's book is simply con-
firmation OF Major Won Goltz's book; both
show what NAV be expected. and from the
magnitude Of the preparations what may
be expected in very near future. and yet,
while one reviewer, with economical pro-
civities, argues that nations will hesitate
at war when a single cannon-shOt costs
1O0. .O00i. and a single torpedo may suffice
to destroy an iron-clad which has cost
12.000, ,0O0f., French legislators, fourteen
years after n disastrous humiliation, have
not yet bestowed upon their country any
system OF military organization. The
French army is no more in u condition to
contend with the German army than it was
on the ;rorrOw oi Sedan.
