FRANCE AND GERMANY.

The announcement that France is occu-
plying with her army strategetic positions
on the German frontier and training her
soldiers at night is followed by the an
nouncement of renewed activity in Ger
man military circles. There is no intelli-
gent person who does not believe that these
old enemies will in the near future indulge
in another brush. They would have been
at it before this had it not been for the re-
straining complications with other powers.
While everybody believes the two couu.
tries will soon try conclusions on the field
of battle, almost everybody seems to think
that France will again get the worst of il
and be severely punished. If you will
ask the reason for this belief not one in
ten will be able to explain why he thinks
the Germans can whip the French.

A Good Boy.

A boy about ten years old, having an old
toy cart with him, was trying to fish cake
of ice ont Of the river at the foot of Adair
street the other day when man who came
along called out:
''Boyl don't you know better than to be-
fooliag around there?"
''I'm not fooling"
'Then go away"
81 want to get this cake of ice first. Wish
you'd help me lift it out"
"What on earth do you want of icew
asked the man as he went nearer.
''For summer, sir-for hot weather. We
don't take ice it summer, and I've been
hauling it home for three days. Got five
great big pieces laid away under the house,
and want to get at least five more"
The man helped him out with cake,
and he went away happy.-Detroit Free

II the nine were to search for justification
for their belief very few of them would be
able to find what they looked for. The
French are good fighters, and there are no
more patriotic people in the world. With
the present generation of Frenchmen it is
the height of patriotism to hate the Ger
mans, and the evidence of extreme loyalty
to want to fight the latter. The Frenchman
who was in his cradle when the kaiser over
ran the land and placed the nation under
heavy tribute, hates the Germans quite as
vigorously as did his father who helped pay
the war indemnity, and would fight more
desperately than did his overmatched par
emit.
We believe that war to-day between
these two great nations would be much
nearer even affair than was the contest
twenty-one years ago. France has a
population of 3S,000,O00, while her colonies
increase the number of people claiming
citizenship to 100000 She has an active
army of &c, 1888 officers and 1,1SS, 1852 non
commissioned officers and men, the entire
force being admirably armed. In addition
there are the reserves which may be called
in case of necessity, bringing the total up
to 65,319 officers, 4, 164, 507 non-commis
stoned officers and men, and l0,5S4 guns.
Germany's active army comprises %, 1854
officers and 7S6, 357 non commissioned off
GERS and men the total strength on war
footing being 5S,912 officers, 1851, 3S7 non
commissioned officers and men and 4,312
guns. There is even greater disparity be-
tween the navies of the two nations, that
of France being fully three times that of
Germany in all respects.
1t will thus be seen that France is by no
means in weak and effeninate condition
and would engage in a contest with GER
tainity of defeat as so many believe.
The republic is in a much better
position to war with Germany than was the
empire, and in contest to-day would not
be handicapped by cowardly and incompe-
tent officers There is also this to be said
in favor of France, that her sons stay at
home and grow up patriotic Frenchmen,
ready and eager to avenge the disaster OF
two decades ago. On the other hand the
] Germans, and especially the young men
leave the fatherland by thousands and tens
of thousands. They are found every
where, putting themselves to much better
use than wasting their years IN military
service. In the United States there are
perhaps ten Germans to one Frenchman
and these Germans would be good fighters
if they were at home. Their presence here
is weakness to the German army, and Their;
is no corresponding weakness in thu
French forces.
Of course we don't believe that Franc,
can whip Germany, but we do think tina
in the contest that is certain 10 come, th'
Germans will not have a walk -over.
