CAN LEARN FROM THE FRENCH
GERMAN MILITARY EXPERTS
OPINION OF MANEUVERS.
Army Of France, He Declares, Is
Deserving Of Greatest Respect
and Earnest Attention.
Foreign Correspondence Of The Star.


BERLIN, October 1. 1909.
The, well known military critic. Col.
Gadke, is publishing in the Berliner Tage-
blatt a series Of articles on the French
army maneuvers which took place Sep
TENDER IA and September Is, between the
Aller and the upper Loire. He appears
to have set out with the impression. de-
rived from French reactionary circles,
that the army would show signs Of de-
terioration as the result of short service
and anti-militarist influences. He comes
away after "having been allowed to see
what I wanted''-and it is not in every
army that foreign visitors are given such
facilities-with an enthusiasm which he
sums up in the words: This army de-
serves in every way our greatest respect
and our most earnest attention. We can
learn from the French at least as much
as they can from u.s.
First Col. Gadke desires to correct the
popular German error that the French
people take no intimate share in the
proceedings of the army. On the con-
trary, he says. the maneuveres are as
much a popular festival in France as
they are in Germany. In spite of there
being no such special attraction as that
presented by the emperor, the crowd of
spectators was at times as large as at
ture postcards. and other souvenirs were
even more popular than In this country.
Speaking generally, Col. Gadke does not
think that any fresh ideas were discov-
cred, but such as there were seemed to be
carried out in a very interesting manner.
He notes that in the French as in the
German army an important part in the
education of a leader, namely, the Sharp
ening of judgment and of the feeling Of
responsibility. never really finds express
sion. Notwithstanding the mist, which
especially impeded the cavalry, he noticed
remarkably few unnatural situations. The
scouting was excellent.
On the whole a proper respect was
shown to the enemy's fire, and the artil-
lery and machine guns were employed in
the most suitable manner. The military
airship could not go up, on account OF
the fog, before noon on the first day, but
by pm. she is said to have determined
the position of all the enemys columns
except one cavalry brigade.
IF during the last two days Of the ma
neuvers," says Col. Gadke, lone had sud
denly put the French army into Prussian
uniform. .one would have seen a picture
not differing In any respect from that
presented every year by our maneuverA"

GAS BAG TO BE ENLARGED.
Changes to Be Made in the Zeppe-
lin Type Of Airship.

Foreign Correspondence Of The Star
BERLIN, October 5. 1909.
AS a result of the liberal experience of
the past summer a number of changes
are to be INTRODUCED into future airships
of the Zeppelin type. The most important
of these will be the provision of a third
motor. bringing up the total horsepower
from $50 to 345. To carry the additional
weight a corresponding increase Of gas
capacity is necessary. While the 1900
cubic meters of Zeppelin was raised to
1900 In its two successors. this latter
figure will be further augmented to 20, 600
in the next vessel Of the type.
The experiments with wireless teleg-
raphy, which have already been made
from Zeppelin III. are to be continued in
a most systematic manner.
A we'll known German writer and
sportsman, Herr Karl Vollmoeller, pub
fishes in the October issue Of the Sub
deutsche Monatschofte'' an article entitl-
ed. "Aviatica," in which he deprecates
future construction Of airships of the
Zeppelin type. Herr Vonmoeller believes
that aeroplanes, and not monster airships,
have the greater future. and advises Ger
mans to pay more attention to the con-
struction OF the former.

ago near Stuttgart. 10 at present being
investigated by the police OF the Wurttem-
berg capital. A few days ago an artisan
named Paul Gotzelt, who has long rec
ord of penal servitude, walked into the
police station and lightened his con-
science by confessing to two serious rob-
berries and a murder. According to his
account of the latter crime. his victim
was a foreign cyclist, apparently an
Englishman. whom he killed on coun-
try road several miles from Stuttgart
toward the end of July. 1903. The dead
mans pocketbook, he said, contained
some papers. photograph taken at Nor
witch, a Rundreiso ticket and 5000 in
fifty-mark notes. After appropriating Its
contents he flung the pocketbook into q
neighboring pond. and then, after pro-
visionally hiding the corpse. he rode the
bicycle to Stuttgart.
His next step was to purchase spade.
with which. after nightfall, he returned
to the scene Of the murder and buried
the body at an inconspicuous spot. He
took with him the dead mans hat, which
he declared was the one he was wearing

charge and his confession investigated.

described had actually been committed.

German Railway in Alsace Will
Menace French Frontier.

Foreign Correspondence of The Star
GENEVA. October 2, 1909.
The new German railway in Alsace,
nearly touching the French and Swiss
frontiers. is now practically completed.
The new line extends from Danermarie
to Pfetterhausan. within a few miles Of
the Swiss frontier, and has direct COM
munication with Mulhouse. It Is a double
track. about twenty miles in length, and
terminates near the Swiss station of
Boufol, which Is reached from Porren-
truy by Q single track. -,
The Swiss-German papers call the at
tention of the Swiss government to the
railway. pointing out that it could have
been constructed only for military pur-
poses in order to throw an army rapidly
before. the French fortress Of Belfort and
thus to turn the strongest position in the
northeast of France in the event of war.

Natures Handiwork.
From the London Globe.


The down upon the peach or plum is 50
delicate and SO thickly set that one can
not touch the fruit with needles point
without breaking the tender stalk and
yet the dew Of the night covers the whole
surface of the fruit and disappears in the
morning. leaving the gossamer growth
more orderly and beautiful than before.
The dew covers every leaf Of the giant
oak. and the mighty tree drinks in the re-
freshing moisture to it's thirsty heart
through millions of pores, and the iron
trunk that has withstood thousand
storms is made stronger by the gentle
strength of the dew. The silent fall or
the dew is caused and controlled by agen-
cies of the most tremendous power. the
same power which shakes whole con-
tinent with it's subterranean thunder Is
the same as that which encirc'es the nm
est filament of thistledown with coronet
of dewy gems so small that they do not
bend the delicate stalks with their weight.

Advantages Of London Police.

William McAdoo. In the Century.
The London policeman. aside from the
matter of pay. has every advantage over
his New York contemporary. He is looked
up to with respect. His slightest COM
mand is obeyed in the public streets. He
takes himself very seriously and is grave
and solemn under the weight Of his re-
sponsibility. l never saw a London po-
liceman laugh or even smile, except In
one instance, and he was an Irishman,
and possibly might be considered too hu
man for his office. His relation to the
people is entirely different from that OF
the New York policeman. The greatest
power over him is that OF parliament.
and all political parties are friendly to
him. He is occasionally investigated by
royal commissions. which investigation is
impartial and. If anything. friendly to
him. 1t is their hope to find everything
as it should be.

There Is general muscular weakness: the
person cannot walk very far and tires quickly
on attempting physical exertion. There is ring

and vertigo; specks floating before the eyes and
. general restleasness. The ability to susta in
prolonged intellectual effort is interfered with
and the patient imagines he is losing his
memory.
Neurasthenics continually watch for new symp

attaching undue Importance to them. CauseIess
fear is often suffered from: dread of some
impending danger; extreme pessimism, darl

Decrease Of Rural Population.

From the London Standard.
A remarkable illustration of the de-
crease in rural population comes from the
neighborhood of Tiverton. Only few
years ago there were sixty-two children's
names on the books Of Cove School: now
there are only seventeen. In fact, the at
tendance has 50 seriously fallen off that
the Tiverton education authority has de-
cided to close the school and transfer the
seventeen scholars to Botham, which is
three and half miles nearer Tiverton.
The children have to be conveyed to the
new school every morning and brought
back every night at the expense of the
authority. This is cheaper than main
tanning a school at Cove for seventeen
scholars. for the cost was E156 a year.
which works out at so odd child.
