THE WEAVER.

Beside the loom of life stand
And watch the busy shuttle go:
The threads hold within my hand
Make up the filling: strand on strand
They slip my fingers through. and so
This web OF mine fills out aDace,
While stand ever in my place.
One time the woof is smooth and f:c,
And colored with q sunny dye:
Again the threads 50 roughly twine
And weave Sc darkly line on line
My heart misgives me. Then would l
Fain lose this web--begin anew
But that, alas. can not DO.
Some day the web will all be done,
The shuttle quiet in its place,
From out my hold the threads be run;
And friends at setting Of the sun
Will come to look upon my face,
And say: mistakes she made not Few,
Yet wove perchance IS best she knew;
The Independent.

THE FIGHTING GERMAN ARMY.
Largest and Most Efficient Military
ORGANIZATION is the World.

OFQGnl[dItSIl 10 tIiS VS''S'
The German army of today is the
largest and most efficient fighting or
ganization that world has ever seen,
and it has served as model for the
armies of most other countries, says
the Worlds Work. The Austrian
army has been organized on methods
copied exactly from the German sys-
tenn. The Japanese army also took
it's methods in organization as well
as in strategy and tactics from Ger
many and German officers. The
Chinese army has now adopted Ger
man methods Nearly all the small
ler countries of Europe with aspira-
tions to military efficiency have bor-
rowed officers from the German army
to instruct their troops. The Turkish
army was so organized.
In the recent war the largest forces
met which had ever opposed one an
other in any conflict. The German
army, however, could put in the field
a perfectly equipped military force
eight times larger than the victorious
Japanese army which gained the bat
tie of Mukden. It consists of more
than four millions soldiers. But in
addition to four million trained SOL
diers, Germany could enroll six mil
lion more men who, although not
trained for service in the fighting line
would nevertheless forma valuable
reserve for the protection of lines OF
communication, and such duties. A
very large number Of these reserves
have had at least some military train.
ing, and in case of necessity could
also be employed in active service
after a brief period Of drill. and mill
tary exercise. Thus the stupendous
number Of ten million able-bodied
men could be mustered under the i'm
perial banner Of the German Empire;
hence the statement that all Germay
is an armed camp
The German Emperor, who in times
of peace shares the authority over
the army with his fellow-Gerran SOW
ereigns, the Kings of Bavaria, Sax,
ony, and Wurtemberg, becomes in
time of war supreme and commander
in-chief or war lord" Of the entire
military forces of the Empire.
The standing army of Germany
consists approximately of 6OO,OOO
men. Nearly half of this number pass
out of the standing army every year
and are replaced by an equal number
of fresh recruits. Germany thus pro-
duces year by year more than quar-
ter of million trained soldiers. The
first reserve consists approximately
of 100000 men, and the Land
whcr" consists of 100000 men, of
whom 100000 are in the first class,
and 100000 are in the second class.
The organization of the army is as
simple as it is efficient. The unit Of
organization in the infantry in the
section" consisting of 20 men under
the command of a corporal Two Sec
tions form the "semi-detachment,' or
20 men under the command of SER
geant. Two embellishments form
detachment" of 80 men under the
command of a lieutenant. Three de-
tachments form a company of 240
men under e captain. Four compan-
les make a battalion of $50 men un-
der major. Three battalions form
regiment under colonel, and two
regiments form brigade under the
command of a major general. The
Army Corps" which is the largest
military unit, consists of two or three
divisions.
