War EXPERTS
THE GERMANS HAVE
SHOWN THE BEST GEN
ERALSHIP.

Washington, Sept. 1.-THE Ger
mans, 1t is declared by military ex-
perts, have shown better ~generalship
than the French in the planning and
execution of the campaign in France.
The allies may pull through success
fully, of course, but it Is declared the
German plans have been laid on far
better lines than those of Gen. Joffre.
The French general staff evidently
never seriously considered the likeli-
hood of a German main attack
through Belgium and the sudden
ness apd mastery quality of the in
vasion from this quarter found the
French totally unprepared. BY the
time they realized what had to be
done. they had already split their
armies into different and widely sep
arated sections.
This plan the willy German general
staff first encouraged by a pretense
that they were not able to resist the
movements in Alsace and Lorraine in
force, and then made 1t impossible
for the French to withdraw these
armies by throwing off the mask and
displaying the presence of very large
German forces which were prepared
to march into France the moment the
French forces should be withdrawn.
Thus the mistake became a condi-
tion that had to be maintained, and
therefore a third, il not a half, OF
Frances finest trained troops are fid-
ding their time away in the Vosges
and Lorraine districts, unable to ac-
complish much on the offensive be-
cause they are not in sufficient
strength and quite useless to the
main army because they may not be
withdrawn to take part In the left
and central operations.
They are, of course, defending the
: French frontier, but 1t becomes In
creasingly evident that the Germana

Plans Completed for Investigation i'm
Dawson County.

Bookings, Sept. 14.-Offieials rep
resenting the state and United States
department of agriculture met at the
State college on Thursday TO COM
plete plans for the hog cholera inves-
LEGATIONS which are to be carried on
in Dawson county. The meeting was
held in the office of President K. c..
Perisho, and those in attendance
were DR.. S. M. Smith, who will have
charge of the hog cholera work in
Dawson county; DR.. o. G. Selby, state
veterinarian; It. j. Morgans, secre-
tary of the Mitchell Commercial club;
DR.. C. G. Lipp, state college veterinar-
ian; President Perisho and Dean G..
L. Brown.
According to the plan of operation,
hog cholera demonstrations and in
vestigations in Dawson county will
be carried on by six men-three of
whom are furnished by the United
States department of agriculture, one
by the state live stock sanitary board
one by the state college at Brookings
and one office clerk. The work Is
not primarily for the benefit of Davi-
son county, but is intended to demon
strate for the whole state what may
be done in the matter of controlling
hog cholera through the use of serum
and sanitary measures.
This anti-hog cholera campaign
will begin in Dawson county on Tues

of all the county hog raisers will be
held in the Commercial club rooms at

larized by Secretary It. J. Morgans.
1t is expected that the demonstra-
ton work of the state and federal de-
partment in this county will be con-
tinued for some time, and that its ed
ucational value will be worth millions
OF dollars to South Dakota swine
breeders. Those interested In the
subject of the control of hog cholera
are invited to watch proceedings in
Dawson county.
