The Armies of Germany and France.

Frances Readiness for War" is the
title of q pamphlet which appeared
here toward the end of September, is
already in its fourth edition, and is be-
ing translated into French and Italian.
The author is Prussian officer. His
opinions claim to be founded on care
full study of French affairs and personal
observations made at the last French
Autumn maneuvers. The contents of
the pamphlet are briefly as follows:
Numerically, the French army is de-
cidcdly superior to the German-it has
1879, 900 men and 1914 guns more, But
numbers are not everything in this
question. On the German side must
be reckoned the greater uniformity of
training, which France cannot rival,
because of her system of dividing the
recruits into two portions, one of
which serves forty months and the
other only eight or ten; greater solidity
of the caClreS, which are stronger in the
time of peace; greater uniformity in
the augmentation of the number of
men; better quality, and better atten-
ton of the subalterns; strategieally
better railways, swfter power of con-
centration, and greater number OF
squadrons and of horses fit for service,
Germany has 372 field squadrons and
SO reserve squadrons; France 308 of
the former and 81 of the latter, in
Guiding the African troops. In Ger
many squadron has $50 horses; in
France nominally $50, and really not
more than 120. The French forts
which guard the road and railway near
the frontier will, contrary to the origi-
nal intention, require the defense of
active troops. The French are war;
like, but not military; the Germans
drink in the military spirit with their
mothers milk The French have no
permanent commander-in-chief They
are not steadfast in adversely, and do
not willingly follow any leader who
has not bound victory to his chariot
wheels Political societies exercise a
disintegrating influence i'll the French
army, both among officers and men.
In short, there are still many weak
| points in that army as regards training,
recruiting and general administration,
which must be remedied before it can
be called ready for war. With refer
ence TO the subject matter of tfris pam
phlet, / may state that an augmenta-
lion OF the German artillery is now Sc
riously intended. The minister of war
seems TO favor the project. .-Berttn Cor.

A Serious Case.

A violent ring at the door, and the
doctor poked his head out Of an upper
window and demanded:
''What's wanted?"
''For PHYS sake make haste" came
back the answer. "It's II case of life
and death. I'm Mr.. Simpson, and you
are wanted at the house Immediately.
The doctor closed the window and
about fifteen minutes later sauntered
leisurely out of the front door and said:
''Ah, Simpson, your wife has another
fainting spell, supposeP"
mo, no; worse than that; its her lit
tie dog, her pet poodle. He's all rolled
up with cramps.'
''Whatn shouted the now alarmed
physician, cher pet poodle sick? This
is indeed serious. If he should die
your wife wouldn't live week"
And the two men dashed madly up
the reet-PhiIaGe.phia CaA.

The ground of the Northeast London

The ground of the Northeast London

the surface, leveled the ground, and in

place and the new inhabitants receive

their ancestors. The vestry is said TO
be 'fully alive to the situation," but
there is no law to meet the case.

The Judges of Missouri, in their n,

The judges of Missouri, in their an
nual conference, took up the question
of how best TO punish that sort of con-
tempt of court which is involved in fist
icutf encounters before the bench. The
fact was cited that in trial still going
on in st. Louis, wherein one .lawver
was for days under rigid cross-exam-
ination by another who was his per-
sonal enemy, the opening query of
each session was: ''Are you armed,
Mr.. GIover?" 10 which the witness in
variably replied: Il am unarmed, sir"
Then a good portion of the audience
would depart. The judges came to an
understanding that future disturbances
in court should be severely punished.
