Let the theater still exist to re-

that art will one day be restored;
that we shall not always stand at the
edge of ruin; that 1t is not nee

faces, self-consciously in the shadow
OF distress. Thereby we shall help to
keep our country in sane mind and
good heart in these coming days and
destroy in its cradle the infant as-
sumption Of our entertainers that one
theme alone is able at this time to
possess u.s.
This war will never, so long as it
lasts, be in less degre the command
ing fact of our lives. But we need
not, therefore, act like stunned crea-

Ninety per cent OF all the railway

after the signing of the mobilization

the railway system il under direct
military control. Specially trained
transportation and railway experts on
the general star take over the direc-
ton OF AFFAIRS.
Operate Railways From One Room.
The same applies to the waterways
and highroads of the empire. A keen
observer will often wonder at the
broadness, solidness and excellent
state OF repair OF the chaussees and
country roads. out of all proportion
to the little traffic passing along They
are simply strategical arteries kept up
by the state for military purposes. The
heads of the transportation and rail-
way corps in Berlin sit before huge
giass-covered tables where the whole
OF the German railway system to it's
minutest detail is shown In relief. and
by pressing various single buttons
they can conduct an endless chain of
trains to any given point OF the en-
pire.
To show the accurate workings of
this system l shall relate an incident.
During the kaiser maneuvers in West
Prussia a few years ago I happened
to be at headquarters in Berlin deliv-
ering some plans and records OF the
English Midland Railway system,
when a general stan officer entered
the signal hall and made inquiries as
to the whereabouts of a certain train
having a regiment ON board destined
TO certain part OF the maneuver
field. One of the operators, through
the simple manipulation of some ivory
keys In the short space of 25k minutes

it, could show the exact spot OF the
train between two stations, the train
being over 500 kilometers distant from
Berlin.

francs, the war indemnity paid by
France to Germany In 1871, 200, 000, 900
marks in gold coins, mostly French,
were put away as the nucleus Of 3

looking watch tower, the Julius Thurm

driving force Of the mightiest war en-

Almost Perfect Transportation FacIiI-
ties.
One Of the most important parts Of
the organization is the question or
transportation. Napoleon'g central Eu-
ropean wars owed their success in q
great measure, IL not wholly, to his
quickness Of motion. This applies
about tenfoId in modern warfare. In
actual armament the leading powers
OF Europe are practically on a par.
The personnel, as regards personal
courage, stamina, or whatever you
wish to call it. is fairly equal also.
There is little difference in the in
dividual prowess of French. Russian,
English and German soldiers. This is
well known to military experts. The
difference 10 mainly a question OF dis
cipline, technique and preparedness.
