Where they are now heaven only
knows.
The train slowly proceeded toward
the frontier. The district, one of the
richest and busiest In Russia, was ST.
lent and deserted Here and there In
wide field an old woman was seen
struggling to harvest the crops. Fac
tories we're deserted. The workmen
had gone to war.
Baggage Left Behind.
1t was not until nightfall, when the
train reached Nuremburg, that the
passengers learned that two baggage
cars had been left behind. At every
station from the Austrian frontier to
Holland, | saw piles of trunks, mostly
belonging to Americans and English
men. The stories told by passengers
from Berlin, Hamburg and Paris Of
countless thousands Of pieces Of bag
gage piled at railroad stations stag
ger ones credulity.
Just as we crossed the border came
the news that Germany had already
begun to mobilize. Plans were hasti-
ly made and as hastily discarded. Ev-
cry one wanted to know what trains
were running, what frontiers were
open and what steamers were sailing
There was no one to answer.
The train logged through the same
sad scenes of desolation we beheld in
Austria-beautiful fields, crops ripe
for harvest without soul to reap
them. Factories we're quiet. We
were sidetracked every little while to
permit trains laden with soldiers to
pass. At nightfall without having
eaten all day our trainload arrived
at Nuremburg, where the station was
crowded with Americans, Englishmen,
Belgians and Hollanders waiting for
hours for train.
The Nuremburg hotels were filed
with foreigners. Some were going to
| Switzerland. Rumors came, however,
that Switzerland had formed an alli-
ance with France and that the Ger
mans had stopped all trains.
Rides In Baggage Car.
No one knew what truth there was
in the rumors; no one knew any way
of ascertaining the truth; all was con-
fusion. Then came official announce
ment that all railroad communication
with the French frontier had been
suspended and that after "a hours no
J further trains would be run In the Ger
man empire.
The following mosning nearly every
foreigner in Nuremburg left for the
West in two streams-one toward Bel

the ride will long abide with me like
nightmare.

through the crush and compelled the

The Effect of Promotion.

General Dabney H. Maury of the
Confederate army used to tell a story
about his faithful negro boy Jim, the
son of his old nanny, whom he took
with him to the war. The general
was not a large man, except in the
traits which make great men and
great soldiers.
After the battle Of Corinth, where
he was promoted to the rank of major
general on the battlefield, he came
into his tent and called his servant.
"Jlm," he said, "when you make up
my cot tuck those blankets well in at
the foot My feet stick out all night"

AMERICAN ARMY EXPERT
SEES US BEATEN IN WAR.
Captain Malone Says New York's Fate
Would Be Like Consta nti tinople's.

A horrible fate is coming to this coun-
try because of our unpreparedness for
war, according to Captain Paul b. Ma
lone, until recently n member of the
general staff of the United States army.
Speaking at n dinner Of the Booksell-
ers' league of New York, he said:
fright here in the streets of New
York we shall in all probability face
the fate which awaits Constantinople
at the hands OF some nation which
realizes that by an appeal to arms all
the chances of successful competition
may be turned in her favor, while by n
continuance Of peace control OF a com
mon trade terminus will be lost, result
ing in trade disadvantage more hurt
full to her national prestige than the
combined effect Of all her wars.
1--WE have done practically nothing to
prepare for this struggle but to boast
Of military prowess which we never
possessed. We cry peace with our
lips, yet by our commercial policy we
carry relentless war into every part OF
the civilized world.
Never i'm the history of the country
has the military situation been more
chaotic. Outside the regular army the
country must rely for an eXpedtionary
force upon the militia, and yet the at
torney general has decided that militia
cannot be ordered beyond our borders
Notwithstanding the provisions of the
Dick bill, which contemplates their
use wherever the flag may call them.
Bills to correct the evil are before
congress, but the prospect Of favorable
consideration is remote. and it is high
ly probable that the next emergency
which confronts us will find US. as in
the past, compelled to change the whole
existing military structure and organ
ize on the eve Of battle.
Such a policy cannot forever escape
its logical consequences. Some day we
shall pay the price

This criticism is said TO have Influenced

out that It is a splendid example of in
