require twelve days; and from what /
can learn the Germans count two days
for the incorporation Of their reserves
and five days more for the assembling
OF their armies-which gives them five
days advance on us.
To what must that be due -
Ito their monarchical government,
which permits them to do things quickly
and quietly
"Do you imagine they can convoke
their reservists and requisition their
horses without it's becoming known9 Or
that our parliament will hesitate min

Here they lost themselves in COM
parison Of railway maps; but on this
point the officer seemed to hold his own,
while the functionary fetched out, to
console himself, the French automobile

these are still grave secrets, certain de-
tails may be told. The automobile serv-
ice is, indeed, incompatible.
The recent adventures Of friend of
mine-the son-in-law already mentioned
gave me a glimpse Of it last summer.
Having finished his regular military
service some five years ago, he became
liable to do twenty-eight days maneu.
vering in 1904. He is an expert auto.
mobilist, owning big machine. There
fore, when he went to get postponed
they asked him, fWould you not prefer
to be turned into the automobile
corps9' He jumped at it-for the pres
ent advantage, his twenty-eight days
service becoming mere jaunt with gen.
erals; but the moment war breaks out
he will have to scorch to headquarters
and put both himself and his auto al

Sunshine Elsewhere.
It is impossible to fully estimate the
holiday "good cheer passed on by the
100000 sunshiners scattered all over
the world, but it is safe to say that
every one brought happiness to at least
one poor lonely one.
At the Sunshine headquarters in New
York Mrs. Alden and her assistants
were at work for weeks arranging the
gifts that came from north, east, south
and west. Over; 10000 stockings were
filed from headquarters and thru the
cooperation Of the sSunshiners Of the
New York American over 800 persons
were provided from general headquar-
ters with Christmas dinners. Between
600 and 700 letters were received daily
and almost every one Of these letters
contained the request, ttTell me some
one to make glad Christmas - Gifts
were sent all over the United States,
going direct to the little children who
were to find them in stockings on
Christmas morning. A check for $500
and 500 hundred toys came from Sun
shines old friend, George Crossman Of
New York, a day or two before Christ
mas, when everyone was in despair for
the toys were giving out and yet more
names Of children were coming in. From
reports SO far received the Brooklyn
branches must carry off che honors for
Christmas work among the branches.
For the third time Mr.. and Mrs
Corse Payton opened their Lee Avenue
theater to- Sunshine and gave the chill
dren an entertainment besides furnish
ing candy for the 5000 little guests.
The tree was said to be the largest
that ever came into the, New York
market. At the close Of the entertain
ment the children were marched in
single file across the stage and every
child was given a gift and pair Of warm
mittens.. -, -. ... 49,. 49,
1t was found that there were hun.
