ment was made yesterday In the

GINA against the Adams Express
Company in which the Kanawha
county circuit court, where q tenn
porary Injunction was granted on
September Is, prohibiting the express
company from transporting liquor
shipments in that state. The case
subsequently was removed to the
United States district court for tho
Southern district of West Virginia,
at Charleston, where, on October 10.
the Injunction was dissolved by that
court. An appeal to the higher court
was noted and both parties argued
the advancement in docket OF the
circuit court of appeals.
Edward Biegel. manager Of the
Cincinnati branch Of the Pabst
Brewing Company, made the ship
ment to to r. H. Clendenin,i over the
Adams Express Company's line. The
appellee was represented by w. B.
Wheeler, of Columbus, o. Fred o.

viewpoint of West Virginia. Maxwell
and Ramsey. Of Cincinnati, o.. G.. e.

The state Of West Virginia com
tended that its laws. which forbid the
advertising Of liquor for sale; or the
solicitation Of orders, became ap-
Iplicable through the provisions OF
the Webb-Kenyon anti-shipping act.
and the Wilson act Counsel for the
express company contended that the
effect Of the West Virginia statute
liz 10 prevent the shipper from using
the United States mails to solicit or
ders. and that II the federal str tltes
permit this. that they are necessarily
contrary to the constitution Of the
limited States and cannot be en-
forced.
The court heard the arguments in
detail and the case was taken under
adviscment. An opinoin may be
handed down at the present term
of court, and It may not be rendered
until a later session. However, the
court was impressed with the desire
of both parties to have an opinion at
the earliest possible date and this
may cause a decision before the end
of the present term.

instead of buying large proportion Of

ties, corks and labels; and It usually re-
quires to 8 bottles of the old fashioned,
ready-made remedies to break up a

Of Schiffmann's new Concentrated Ex-
pectorant, which is SO strongly concen-
ltrated that 2 ounces, when mixed at home

edy, and will be sufficient to probably
last the whole family the entire winter.

Grievance of Suffranisna-

One Of the grievances of suffragists
is the inferior position occupied by
women as parents. A couple of days
ago woman, whose husband had, so
lar as she knew, gone down in the
Empress Of Ireland, applied to the
W1llesden magistrates for a vaccina-
ton exemption for her infant son. She
was informed from the bench that the
exemption order could not be granted
until the fathers death was legally
proved, as "the law did not recognize
her as the parent of the child" If
the law does not enable a woman to
rank as the parent of her children it
must be ''hass" of the most asinine
type.-London Globe.

AS between France and Germany
apart from the 1atter's superior war
footing, the total of the fully trained
reserves in the Fatherland would be
the most potent factor in a prolonged
struggle and also the justification for
a 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
frightening of the term with the col
ors aroused great deal Of opposition,
not to say discomfort
Immediately back of these soldiers
are the first reserves, men who but
recently nave 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 29,895
men stronger than that Of France, but
upon the first call to arms this moder-
ate superiority Immediately jumps to
the greater figure of ,2O3, giving the
kaiser an advantage of nearly 21 per
cent. But this Is only the beginning
Of the difference.
Germany's total reserve of fully
trained reserves-men trained with
peculiar thoroughness-is today quite
100000, while the admittedly less ex-
actingly drilled reserves of France
number but 3,25O,O0O rank and file.
Here, as can plainly be seen, the Fa-
therland leads by 1,75O, 0OO-two and a
half times the war footing of France.
while still having in reserve as many
as France would have at best.
Setting aside the question of the
relative military value Of the training.
OF the German and the French SOL
o1ers, those OF France carry a maya

REAL BATTLE CAPABILITIES
OF The ARMIES OF EUROPE

do you know that the contending
armies in Europe today are battling
upon their peace time footings?" asked
a colonel on the general staff of the
United States army. And don't for
get that the nation that gets it's fight
ing force up to it's full war strength
first will gain material advantage in
the present turmoil
This means that any hasty deduc-
tons made upon the basis Of fights
won and lost up to date may soon
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 it's 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 are virtually
fighting alone four other nations, but
their initial setbacks are not properly
a true index of what is to come in the
near future.
Some Figures.
AS it Is necessary to deal with fig
ures it is just as well to begin now
as later. These figures, interpreted in
the light of additional information
have another meaning, one that comes
closer to the facts inspiring the ag-
gressive policy assumed by the kali
ser in face of seemingly appalling
odds. According to authoritative in
