100000 Men May Fight
Should Austria and Servia
Involve the Allies of Europe
Figures That Show the Tremendous Forces Awaiting
Wrought by Napoleon Would Compared Destruction Of
General Conflict Today.

Americans unacquainted with the
elaborate military organizations Of
foreign powers can have but little idea
of the tremendous number of combat
ants who would be involved in any
general European war which might
arise from Austrias imbrogIio with
Servia. Austria, large as she is in
territory and population, does not
outnumber Servia in available trained
men so heavily as might be expected.
But the seriousness of the situation
lies in the fact that, once hostilities
between the two principals begin, a
general war might be inevitable. And
it is safe to say that not even the Ma
poleonic wars rent the fabric of Eu-
ropean civilization as would war be-
tween the powers of the triple entente
and the triple alliance.
Always supposing that Russia
makes good her reported threat to al.
Servia in case the Austr.=-s persist
in going to extremes. it is believed that
Germany and Italy would come to
their ally's assistance.

bit of freak cotton. 1t was raised on
the farm of E. P. Jones, in Jeff Davis
county, two stalks laden with bolls
which grew from stalks of last year
and the year before. Mr.. Jones plant
ed an old cotton field in corn and
noticed that one of the old cotton
stalks sprouted. He did not pillow it nm
and later it developed into full grown
polls. Another stalk was the second
year growth from an old stalk.

the two remaining powers in the tri-
pie entente, would not permit their
ally, Russia, to fight such a serious
battle along. This might mean the
arraying of Russia, France and Brit
ain-and possibly Roumania-on the
side of Servia, and Germany and Italy
on the side of Austria, with the posi-
bility that the other Balkan nations
and Turkey may be dragged into the
quarrel.
Austrias army is credited with
peace strength of 415O0O men and L.
$50 guns, which the first-line reserves
would increase in a few days to $780,
600 men. Behind these could be mus
tered hundreds of thousands of men
of varying ages who have had some
military training, and who would fill
the gaps in the field army.
Strength of Little Servia.
Little Seryia can mobilize all of her
male population trained to bear arms
to the number of $4,000 in a fort

only $4,000 men in time OF peace. AS
