GRAND ARMY.

Civil war veterans believe that the coming encampment in Detroit. com mencing August 31, will be the largest national gathering in the history of the organization. Detr2it in the first place is centrally located, it is argued; sec ondly. many of the veterans who were here 23 years ago in national encamp- ment have been clamoring for a re- turn date for the past 12 years, so inn pressed with the reception and the visit. 10000 veterans are expected and their wives and families and friend will swell the number of visitors up to nearly 100000.
 The city itself is the hostess, the funds for the affair having been raised ing share in the plans and a fnan- cial interest in everything that is done The coty through the committees, 20 numbering nearly 200 of the biggest and busiest men in the city, is leaving little of the work for the citizens as 8 whole to do.
 The official program copyrighted by the committee, will be ready for dis tribution within a few days and 0,00C will be sent to the posts of the coun- try. About 45,000 will be reserved foI free distribution during encampmeni week. In previous years the program has not been ready for the week ol the encampment; meanwhile dozens oi alleged official programs have been pu in circulation by advertising schemers and sold to visitors. This year tht
 program will be free to those entitled to a copy.

in the Great War Game

History has never presented a greater
demonstration of the fickleness OF nations
than the present European imbroglio. On
the one side arrayed are the forces OF
Germany, Austria Hungary and Italy
representing the Triple Alliance. On the
other are Great Britain, France and
Russia, with Japan an ally OF Great
Britain and participant in the compll-
mentary entente between herself and all
three.
Austria-H lngary finds herself depen-
dent upon Germany, the nation from
whose aggressive policy she had been the
greatest sufferer. By the disastrous cam
palgn of 1866 and the consequent treaty
of Prague Austria had been formally ex-
rluded from all direct influence in German
affairs. Her other ally, Italy, had al
ways regarded her as an hereditary OPP
pressor.
Great Britain's closest ally Is France.

Russia, the other member of the Triple

For twenty years prior to the consumma-
ton of the Triple Entente in 1907 every
British soldier who served in India had
been led to expect that be would some
day be called upon to bear arms against
the Cossacks who would sweep toward the
frontier through Afghanstan. In 1856
Russia fought her allies of to-day in the
Crimea.

and the Powers of the Triple Entente

who welded a nation from a disgruntled
circle of neighboring states. This mex

an alliance with Great Britain and Rus

Britaln's occupation of Egypt but he re-
fused. For Russia he bore the utmost
respect.
