IN TIME OF PEACE.
Germany's Railroads Always Ready
for War Move.

In these days, when we hear of
mobilization from all quarters, it is
interesting to note the continual pre-
paredness of Germany in all matters
pertaining to railway transit. She
holds with the maxim that He who
strikes first strikes twice."
At all times, even when there is no
talk of war in the air, there is locked
up in every German stationmaster's
desk a set of war time tables-a sep
arate time table for every country
with which a war is possible, includ-
ing France, Britain and Russia, while
even Austria-Hungary is not exempt.
Whenever war is declared, every sta
tionmaster picks out the particular
time table required, and at once all
the trains run automatically on war
time," and for war purposes. Each
time table is revised once year, IN
order to fit in with any alteration
that may have been made in the
plans of campaign. Each man liable
to serve in the reserve is in possess
sion at all times of a warrant for
travel, and when war breaks out does
not require to wait for instructions,
but must report himself at once to his
particular territorial depot, or at
latest by 10 o'clock on the morning
following the declaration of war.
Otherwise he is liable for heavy
penalty.
All carriages are marked with the
number of soldiers they can carry.
trucks with the size and weight of
cannon that can be loaded on them,
and the number of horses that can be
taken on each vehicle.
Of course, all the railways belong
to the State, and this simplifies mat
ters; but in time of war everything
gives way before the army.-London

first degree.
Its the best way" he sums up
his case. LAS long as I'm out of
prison 1 can't keep from wrong"
The story that he told the police
and to his employers is strange one.
Even as boy it seems he was OBJ
sessed by the same peculiar pen
chant for initiating the handwriting
of others which proved SO serious for
him in later years.
According to his statement, when
he was only II years of age he so
successfully forged the handwriting
of the school principal in note to
the father of another pupil who was
a member of the school board as to
cause an upheaval in the school. The
principal naturally denied the au-
thority of the note There. were re-
examinations and accusations and
finally the principal resigned his po-
sition.
1t was not until nearly year later
that the facts came out, and then it
was too late to do anything. And the
sole reason that impelled Masling to
utter this forgery was his dislike of
the school principal and the weird
fascination which his handwriting
possessed for him.
From time to time during his later
years the fatal attraction which GER
tain handwritings exercised over him
resulted in his initiating them,, but
never criminally, according to his
statement, until fifteen or sixteen
years ago. Then the danger that at
tended the passing of forged paper
appealed to him even more strongly
than the pleasure he enjoyed in sue
cessfully initiating another's chirog-
raphy.
In the meantime he had married a
well-to-do girl and was engaged in a
prosperous mining business in Penn
sylvania. His strange obsession led
him into difficulties and he was
forced to seek other fields for his
efforts.
1t was at this time that he first
commenced his criminal operations.
Beginning on a small scale, he soon
increased his forgeries until they
reached considerable proportions.
His success was such that, as even
the cleverest criminals are sure to
do. he at last overreached himself
and got into the hands of the police.
AS Charles Winkler he was SEN
fenced to two years and six months
on a forgery charge in Newark in
1899. His wife, believing that the
punishment would effect a cure of
his strange malady, remained loyal
to him during his Incarceration,
sharing with him the trials of living
down the disgrace after his release.
For three years after the expira-
ton of his prison term he refrained
from practicing his dangerous fac
ulty. He made money and every
thing seemed to be running smoothly,
when temptation again assailed him
He was caught and in October, 1905,
was sentenced in New York city to
serve five years in Sing Sing prison
Then his wife determined that there
was no help for him, and refused to
associate with him further.
And now for the third time he is
in the tolls, this time by his own
wish. AS he says: "Perhaps it's the
best way" While he remains as he
is, he is far too dangerous to the
community to be at large.
Meanwhile physicians and alienists

should not be incarcerated in some

some strange form Of mania which
