About ten or twelve years ago there
was imported into this country from
China a dog that has become very
popular and may be seen at all the
big shows. The species are called chow
elbows, but of late this name has been
abbreviated into just plain chow. The
elbows originally came from Siberia,
where they were used to draw sledges.
In China these dogs were improved
and developed into very companions
able house dogs. The chow has so
thick and even a coat of long hair that
when it is pressed down it rises again
Just as a sleeps wool will do. 1t has
one characteristic that makes it diff
ferent from all other breeds of dogs
a black tongue. Many dogs have black
roofs to their mouths, but no chow is
of the pure breed that has not a black
tongue. There are two varieties COM
monty seen in this country, n all
red and the other all black. The reds
are the most often seen. The chow is
a good tempered little animal. with a
rather comical expression. For those
who are fond Of dogs. and most young
people are, the chow is an affection
ate and jolly companion. The chow
pictured here won a prize at the last
dog show in New York. He is Of the
red variety and is of the purest lilond.
AS the picture shows, the chew is Of
compact and sturdy frame. He is Of
lively disposition and carries his tail
tightly curled over the back.

The Gray-Greaves aeroplane question
came up toward the close Of the meet

reference to this matter. Before Gray

German Army Always Ready
OF Fighting Supreme

Greatest in organization, drill and
preparedness for war and probably
in the number of men Immediately
ready for active field service, as well
as in leadership, and second only to
the Russian army in point OF size. the
army OF the German empire is the
worlds most powerful land fighting
machine.
Military experts assert that even di-
videt, With one-half concentrated
against Russian and the other half
sent against France the llaiser's army
is able to overwhelm any force that
could be brought to oppose its ad-
vance. The first report of the declar-
alton by the kaiser of a state of war
in Germany brought forth many pre-
dictions of a repetition OF the war
of 1901, when Germany's forces al
most literally walked over those OF

France. Then. as now, preparedness
for active service was accounted the
prime factor in the situation. 2" There
sno reason TO think that the present
Won Moltke, chief of staff of the Ger
man army and nephew OF the famous
field marshal, is inferior to his prede-
cessor and namesake. The old Won
Moltke had all his plans for the. in
yasion of France contained in n single
drawer in his desk The present day
Won MOltke has been working for
many years on methods OF invading
France and Russia.
Germany has prepared herself
against war with France since 1871.
ln,1S75 such war was avcrted by the
narrowest of margins. Since then
Germany has striven with might and
main to perfect her military power
to a degree unknown, until the genius
of, Moltke made Germany national
unit.
The frontier between Germany and
Russia, which both nations have forti-
fled at short intervals, covers S43
miles. The various fortresses are
connected with each other by under
ground telegraph and telephone. while
strategic military railroads lead to
the principal military centers in the
interior.
German a Born Soldier.
The German is a soldier OF the
highest type-born soldier, nurtur-
ed as one-devcloped to the highest
degree Of efficiency.
The German army consists of the
first line, landwehr and landsturm,
the last home defense reserve, Two
regiments OF infantry. six .battalions,

sion and two divisions an army corps.
In war. all corps will be constituted
Of thirty-six battalions. To each in

to each army four batteries of howit-

There is only one permanent caval-

vulged, by the German general staff
but the plans show that most of the
two, brigade divisions will be aug
mented by, reserve brigade in war
and that all army corps in the Ger,
man army can. take the field with six
brigades, the artillery being increas-
ed proportionately by reserve regi-
ments. To each infantry division is
attached in war an artillery brigade
to twelve batteries.
There are eighteen cyclist compan-
les in the German army. The Ger
man field batteries are equipped with
six guns each, and the horse batteries
have four guns each.
Prussia, with Baden and Hesse, is
divided into sixteen military districts.
each of which furnishes a complete
army corps. There is also Prussian
guard corps drawn from the, whole
kingdom. SaXony, Wurttemburg and
Reichsland furnish five army corps.
In the German army are 217 regi-
ments of infantry containing 471,79G
men. 10 regiments of cavalry with
S2,007 men, 100 regiments of field ar
tillery with $4,000 men and "a regi-
ments of foot artillery with $4,000
men. The German army uses 1871 900
horses, Of which over 10000 are for
the cavalry alone.
Take Lessons From Napoleon.
In January, 1914, the German war
office ordered translation to be pre-
pared OF "Preceptes ct Jugn1ents de
Napoleon" collected and classified by
Lieutenant Colonel Ernest Picard Of
the French army. Thus after thirty
four years the Germans seem to have
taken the advice OF Won Moltke to
study the campaigns of Napoleon. But
this is not all AS everybody knows,
Napoleon's lavorite arm was artillery,
and in that arm there are to be wide
spread deforms and reorganization,
particularly with the object of obtain
ing the greatest mobility if not inter
rupted, by war.
Eleven divisions of artillery have
been changed from riding" batteries
to driven" batteries. That is the Of
fetal description OF the change, which
again was defended on
the ground that there would be a
large saving in men and horses with
cut any proportionate loss in fighting
force, since it was practically useless
to have the, riding batteries unless
they were always working in collabor-
alton with cavalry, and for this pur-
pose there. were already enough.
The most important part of the
