FRENCH HANDICAP TOO GREAT
Hard TO See How Country, With sta
tlonary Population, Can Keep
Pace With Germany.

The French war office has won its
fight for the extension OF the term OF
military service from two years to
three, the New York Tribune OBJ
serves. This viii enable 1t to increase
the size Of the army so as to keep
pace with Germany. Under the two
years system the army has consisted
of only $4,000 men available for use
In Europe, while Germany has now no
fewer than $4,000. Such disparity
was intolerable, and so the three
years system was demanded. under
which the army will be increased by
10000 men. bringing its total up to
$4,000 men.
II is bitter reflection to French
men, however, that even under the
three years system. which drafts re-
cruits at twenty instead of twenty
one years, France cannot yet keep
up with Germany under the two years
system; and there must be certain
fearful looking forward to the time
when some further and more strin-
gent measure viii be needed to keep
the French army somewhere near
the German in numbers. For 1t is
mathematically certain that a coun-
try with a small and stationary popu-
lation cannot keep up with one with a
far larger and rapidly growing popu-
lation without resorting to extraor'
binary means.
The radical trouble in France is
the low birth rate and consequently

I'm sorry. sir" he said, but as
every one Is leaving, anyhow"
They fairly jumped at him then.
They surrounded him In a bowling
mob and demanded how he dared to
turn them out, and what did he mean
by saying they we're overfed, and they
would leave when they were good and
ready and not before, and he could go
to blazes. 1t was the most scandalous
thing I've ever known of at Hope
Springs, and in the midst of 1t Mr.
Pierce stood cool and quiet, waiting
for chance to speak. And when the
time came he jumped in and told them
the truth about themselves, and most
OF IL hurt. He was good and mad, and
he stood there and picked out the fab
by ones and the fat ones, the whisky
livers and the tobacco hearts and the
banquet stomachs. and called them out
by name. He got through and stood
looking at them In their sheets. and
then he said coolly:
The bus will be ready at two-thirty,
gentlemen" and turning on his heels,
went into the Office and closed the
door.
They scattered to their rooms In
every stage of rage and excitement,
and at last only Mr.. Sam and | were
left staring at each other Damned
young idioti" he said. II wish to
heavens you'd never suggested bring
ing him here, Minnie!"
And leaving me speechless with In
dignation, he trailed himself and his
sheet up the stairs.

the street sale OF little punches Of
fresh lavender, particularly In Lon,
