Is the French Nation Prepared for War with Germany?
The Natural Frontier of France Qualifications and Modern Tactics
 The Armies and Navies-Man Behind the Gun.

Let us review our geography knowl- edge little, glance at the lands bor- dering on the republic of France, look to the frontier of this country now threatened by neighbor ef strength, the neighbor with whom war was waged back ii 1870.
 An authority tells us France pos sesses natural boundaries throughout to high degree an independent phys ical unit. Down there between Spain and France stretches the unbroken wall of the Pyrenes. To the west is the broad Atlantic ocean, the English channel separates from England on the north. On the east Belgium, Ger many, Switzerland and Italy are sep arated by girale of mountain ranges. the Alps, the Jura, the Vosges, Rhen- ish highlands and the Ardennes.
 But there are some breaks in her frontier chain. Tn the mountain that separates from Germany, there are three openings, called by the French trouees, through which an invading army could enter When the Franco German war resulted in 1871 in new delimitation of frontier. the Germans saw to it that they obtained all the strongest positions. Nancy, on the French side, is looked upon as the probable point of invasion, the most vulnerable spot in the country. It lies

An item of news of wide impor- tance to timber land owners is the announcement that a California lumber company, which applied a plan of fire protection to single township during the summer of 1905, is now preparing to extend the same protection to the rest of its large holdings of cut-over land. Ex- cept in the national forests. but little attempt has as yet been made to pro- tect from fire the forests or cut-over lands of the Pacific coast. Tn Califor- mia, it is true, the state forester has taken up fire protection as one of the most pressing problems of his ad- ministration. But in Oregon and Washington particularly, and on pri- vate holdings in California, fires are so destructive that little hope is cher ished by owners of securing crops on cut-over land before fires have pre- vented or destroyed them. The sev- eral losses which have come from these fires have, however, made a deep impression upon lumbermen. Where timber lands are owned. too often the investor must be contented with the profits of his first lumber ing operations, since, despite the ex- cellent natural reproduction which would, under better conditions, re- store the lands to forest, fire is al- most certain to burn over, killing seedlings. scorching larger growth. and so deferring future crops in- definitely. One of the most impor- tant and significant points in con nection with this use of fire pro- lection system by private owner is the fact that it means the recogni- ton of the future value of young timber, proof that forestry has made rapid strides in California.

fortresses on her frontier: but there have been such changes in artillery and methods of warfare. these one time strongholds now are practically valueless. The writer just quoted calls attention to the fact that the aim of the modern tactieian is not to defend fortress. but to occupy posi- tions which are strong both from a physical and strategic point Of view.
 Let us make some comparison of the national defense of the etwo na- tions. We learn that France has about z.5O0. 600 men available for mil. Itary duty. Germany about 3.00o. 900. The navy of France has ranked next that of Great Britain. but recently Ger many has been taking such gigantic strides in navy upbuiIding Frznce kept by financial reasons from like rapid progressD that it seems in a few short years the French navy will be outrsnked by her aneisnt enemy.

"By the recent amperial decree 1t i

By the recent imperial decree 1t Is announced that between the. present time and the end of 1917 Germany in tends to build IS battle ships. IS large cruisers, "A small cruisers, "A divi- sions of six torpedo boats each, to say nothing of ubmarines-which constt tutes very pretty programme and opens an era of brilliant prosperity for the shipyards.
 "The appropriation for new ships reaches nearly $4O0.o00.000, nor is this the full extent of the proposed outlay for by 1915, if not earlier, it will be necessary to begin to build still newer vessels, and by 1917 these. at various stages of construction, will occupy the yards. Under such conditions one may admit that the normal yearly outlay for ship-building will soon be that provided for the middle of the period just mentioned-namely. $S6,- 900,000 year.
 "As over against the enormous ap- propriation, France has one that for ten years has lowered around the $2 100000 point, and has attained that figure only with difficulty. An effort that would bring us to $24,000, 900, as has sometimes been suggested, would give us only two-thirds of the Ger man appropriations. This German outlay for naval purposes was former

Americans are hardly aware of the position secured by their country during the years since the civil war, says one writer is discussing the tariff. The habits of mind which grew out of our subordinate position when we were divided by slavery and cramped by its ally free trade still cling to us, and we hesitate to count up the elements of our strength and influence. The America of yesterday was a farming country, with small accumulation of material wealth as the outcome of centuries of saving and toiling. The America of to-day is the most populous, the wealthiest and the most powerful among the civ ilized nations. We are the first man. ufacturing country of the world, and of our immense export of all kinds 35 per cent is manufactures, where ten years ago it was but 20 per cent In the year of 1905 we exported s571,410, 497 worth of manufac- lures, and imported but $1S5,945,- 5S1 worth, along with 4,310,605 worth of raw materials. and $157,- 114,640 worth of partly manufac- tured goods. i. e., of partly wrought raw matrials, such as dyestuffs. There is no country in the world which can afford to sneeze at share in this vast trade with America, or which can afford to try issues with us in a conflict of tariffs. No coun- try is so important to us as we are to it. If Germany were plotted from the map America would continue to sell to Europe and buy from Europe, not on the scale of nation with na- tion, but on that of continent with continent.

ly only two-thirds as large as ours; the ratio would still be reversed" It was after the fall of the empire the French went to work with such . will to build up highly efficient navy and their success we have referred to Of late years special attention has been paid by the nation to submarine boats. The German navy is of com paratively recent origin. It is only since 1890 there has been steady prog. ress in strengthening the German navy. The French navy is recruited partly by voluntary enlistment, partly by conscription; and the government keeps a list of all the men between the ages of IS and 50 years who are on. gagged in q seafaring life, these con. stituting naval reserve. In n>Germany service in the navy, instead of the army, may be made obligatory upon the maratime population.
 In France all able-bodied men are liable to military service for term of 25 years; three years active serv. ice, beginning at the age of 20 years, are required; for students this period may be shortened to one year. In Ger many all able-bodied men are liable to service between the ages of IF and 45 years; three years active service are required of cavalrymen and artil- lerymen, and two years of others; stu. dents may have their term reduced to one year.
 In numbers. it would seem Germany enjoys advantage. but certain features of the French preparedness should be brought forward. Since the disastrous war of 1s70-1. the republic has recon structed her army in manner noth- ing short of marvellous. In army ma noeuvers of recent years 1t has been shown that France has ready body of men not only exceptionally we'll drilled. but men something more than mere machines; ''the troops have not easily defined democratic aspect, which is. perhaps. not so pretty from the purely spectacular point of view. but which one can imagine is better adapt. ed 10 the surprises and stress of war" The man behind the gun remains of importance even in this machine age; we should say. remembering the les sons of the Russo-Japanese war, of sl- preme importance.
 The French are accounted to possess the finest artillery in the world, and the mechanical genius of the nation Is acknowledged. France has led in au- tomobiling. aerial and submarine nav igation- The country is intensely modern. possesses a most progressive army.
 Not the least part Of her progress in the art of var is her perfecting of the commissariat department of the army. in elsyating t to it's proper place.

President Swift of the Swift Pack ing Co maintains that there is. no beef trust and that the packing busi. ness is subjected to the severest kind of competition. Perhaps this ac- counts for the fact that the farmers and cattle men never got so little for beef on the hoof' as during the past few years, or the public had to pay so much for dressed beef. Just where severe competition comes in it is hard to see.

A Merry-ao-Round.

A man had been sent by the house agents to take an inventory of the draw ing room furniture. He was so long about his task that at last the mistress of the house went to see what was talk ing place. She found the man slumber- ing sweetly on the sofa with an empty bottle beside him; 1t was evident, how ever, that he had made pathetic though solitary attempt to do his work, for in the inventory book was written, "One revolving carpet" = San Francisco Newsletter.
