A delightful! Carlyle story is told in
connection with the painting Of the
portrait Of Carlyle by Sir John Millait
which was slashed by a militant sui
fragette In the National Portrait gal
ilery, London :
The portrait was painted in 1877 at
the home of Millais. Carlyle and his
niece. who accompanied him. were
both impressed with the magnifcence
of the furnishings and the objects OF
art with which it was filed
"And does all this-er-come from q
paint pot?" queried the niece. The
artist replied IN the affirmative. Then
this characteristic comment came
from Carlyle: E I.
"Ah, well, 1t shows what a humber
Of fools there are in the world"
Only three sittings were given and
the picture is 'classed as unfinished"
Maybe that remark is the reason why
1t was neverscomp1eted.

Austrian Troops Said to Have
Been Defeated by Russians

st. Petersburg, via London, Aug.
14.---A Russian force has taken the
town of Sokal, AustriapS Galicia, by
assault, inflicting heavy casualties on
the Austrian garrison, according to q
semi-oflcial announcement.
The Austrian garrison consisted OF
two infantry battaiions, a regiment OF
lancers, and a'regiment Of hussars.
After dislodging them the Russian
cavalry pursued the Austrians across
the River Bug and blew up two
bridges and a viaduct.
Several houses in Sokal, which is
forty-fye miles northeast, Of Lemberg,
were set on fire and burned to the
ground by the Russian troops, because
civilians had fred from them on the
attacking force. ;
The Russians captured some mill
tary building material. %pontoons, and
telegraph instruments.
Germans Threaten Poles.
According to a semi-oficial dispatch
the German troops before Kalisz, Rus.

there, especially the Slav, Czech, Ital-

ts As between France and Germany
apart from the latter's superior war
footing, the total Of the fully trained
reserves in the Fatherland would be
the most potent factor in q prolonged
struggle and also the justification for
q vigorous initiative despite early
heavy losses. Both Germany and
France have in the last two years in
creased the period Of service from
two to three years. In France this
lengthening Of the term with the col
ors aroused a great deal Of opposition,
not to say discomfort.
Immediately back OF these soldiers
are the first reserves, men who but
recently have finished their full tours
Of active service and of course are
familiar with the latest practices. Now
look at the foregoing figures. Ger
many's peace footing is only 1886
men stronger than that OF France, but
upon the first call to arms this moder-
ate superority Immediately Jumps to
the greater figure Of 144,203, giving the
kaiser an advantage of nearly Fl per
cent. But this is only the beginning
OF the difference. r@:. rg 49,, Il,
Germany's total reserve Of fully
trained reserves-men trained with
peculiar thoroughness-is today quite
5000, 900, while the admittedly less ex-
actingly drilled reserves Of France

q colonel on the general stat of the
United States army. And don't for
get that the nation that gets its fight
ing force up to its full war strength
first will gain q material advantage in

This means that any hasty deduc-
lions made upon the basis Of fights

prove absolutely misleading.
The question then arises: Which Of
the struggling armies can reach it's
war strength soonest, and, with that
attained, what are its chances for
maintaining that standing in the CRU
cling days to come? The answer is
a matter Of administrative efficiency
first, and then follows naturally the
relative merits of the reserve material
upon which the nation can draw as
battle after: battle and disease thin
the ranks of those in the field. At
present the Germans r virtually
fighting alone four other nations, but
their initial setbacks are not properly
a true index Of what is to come in the
future.
