This means that any hasty dedue-

The question then arises: Which of
the struggling armies can reach its
war strength soonest, and, with that
attained, what. are its chances for
maintaining that standing in the
gruelling DAYS to come? The answer
is matter of administrative efTicien-

Again, the French rife is heavier
than the German, increasing to that
extent the stress upon the .man who
has to carry it on long marches. The
soldiers of both nations carry the same
number of cartridges, 100. But the
saving in weight in the German mus
ltet is Offset by other weights he has
to carry. Fully equipped the French
foot soldier has O total burden of 54.JS
pounds, while the German infantry
man has to bear 5S.75 pounds. As a
broad proposition the average German
is stGrdier man than his French ri
val and this greater tax is wisely laid
upon him.
In the French army each company
of infantry has the following portable
tools: Eight shovels, 4 piekaxes
double headed), 3 axes, ! folding saw
and a pair of wire nppers. The Ger
man foot soldier on the other hand
does not get off so easily because each
company has to carry 100 small spades,
10 pickaxes and ) hatchets. Now what
does this mean. Simply that the kais-
er 3 infantrymen are able to entrench
| themselves quicker than their French
rivals, and for that reason could hold
an advanced position more securely
and guard themselves against attack

! Broadly. speaking, it is doubtful if

But have you ever traced the routes
of the Prussian state lines9 Well nigh
every railroad in Germany, especially
those nearing the frontiers, has had
its path arbitrarily laid out for strate-
gle ends, and this precaution will add
immensely to the speed and the GER
tainty with which the Kaiser's troops
can be moved from point to point and
bases of operation shifted to suit sud
den developments. No other country
in Europe is similarly favored in this
vital matter of transportation.
There is still another item in which
the German general staff has shown

the new men called to the colors are

the empire. In other words, the re-

to regimental service in the north, and
vice versa, while the country lad goes
to town or city barracks and the city
lad to suburban posts.
PROFESSIONALLY no army in Europe
today can be raised to it's full war
strength with anything like the speed
of the German forces. The general
staff has had every move tabulated for

The advocates Of Initiative No.

this will cost the taxpayers 100000
more money.
Why do free public employment

the applicant for work gets better
service from the fee agency; he pre-
fers paying for good service by exper.
