GERMAN UHLANS, ARTILLERY AND INFANTRY.

But if Fritz is locked in Jail for a week
or two because a single button on his
coat appeared to the eye Of Baron Won
Martinez to be not absolutely free from
tarnish by the acid test why, then, the
other FritZses frown behind their
placid masks and welcome the propa-
ganda of democracy. 1t must be borne
in mind that as the social democracy
Is the most numerous Of all the DO
litical parties In the empire so the
great majority of that party consists
of men who have served their time
with the colors under the CONSUMPTION
law. That fact gives added force to
the popular disapproval Of military
abuses. 1t Is not the army. per Sc, to
which ever radical social democrats
object so much as to the tyrannous
exaggerations Of the spirit OF military
caste. There is arising a demand that
the army shall be considered, and shall
consider itself, a part Of the citizen
body of the nation. amenable in time
nor civil law. But in time of war all
other considerations are overthrown.
Kaiser tho Supreme General.
Emperor william Is of course gener-
alissimo Of the German armies, both
Of the kingdom Of Prussia, Of which
he Is king, and Of the other kingdoms,
duchies and principalities making up
the German empire. With him are as
ISOLATED as leaders Of their armies the
kings Of Saxony, Wurttemberg. Ba-
varia, etc. all Of whom are train
ed soldiers. The heads Of the other
smaller German states are also mill
tary men and for the most part capa-
BILE leaders Of the forces Of their
states.
Next to Emperor William comes the
chief Of staff, Lieutenant General
Count Helmuth Won Moltke. nephew
Of the famous Won Moltke. who was
accounted the greatest strategist OF
the nineteenth century saw only Ma
poleon Bonaparte. Count von Haesel-

are Generals Won Goltz. Won Linde-

Horn. Won Buelow, Won Scholl and
Won Prittwttz-all these In addition to
the royalties, Prussian and
non-P russian, who hold high rank in
the German army. In some cases the
titles Of these last named are purely
honorary and they n be called

cepted and approved that the idea OF
adopting 1t for the whole army Is being
seriously discussed. The 144 guns OF
each army corps would then become
thirty-six batteries In place Of the pres
ent twenty-four. For the time being
this plan was vetoed.
The chief reason against the change
was the effect it would have on the
line Of march, as 1t would lengthen
out the march column very considera-
bly,. The tactical value OF the four
gun battery In the field was not dis
puted.
Another artillery reform which was
not by any means clearly indicated In
the new military law was the great In
crease of howitzers. Some of the rid
ing batteries have been quietly changed
into howitzer batteries, and now where
every army corps had its complement
Of howitzers every division possesses

1t is a superb sight to see a Ger

and exults in it as well as the field
marshal or ever the sub-lieutenant.

Germany on "ths Wave"
1t is a curious fact that the navy
which is rapidly coming to rank as the
most powerful In the world. after
Great Britain's, is an untried quantity.
Unlike the vessels and personnel OF
our wi navy and that Of most OF the
European powers, the Germany navy
has never tried Its new found strength.
Its officers and men have never faced
an enemy. and the ponderous guns that
bear down It's cruisers and battleships
have never been trained upon anything
save targets.
The whole history Of Germany is SIN
gularly barren Of naval battles, and
stories Of naval heroes. especially when
we compare II with IT, history Of Eng
land and the United Suites. Germany
has no Jones or Nelson. Despite its
long coastline. 1t has fought its great
battles and won its great victories
with land forces. For centuries the
army has been the backbone Of Prus-
STA and the Ideal Of every German
schoolboy. Such few armed vessels
as Prussia had were governed from
the wal Office. under the direction Of
army officers. The first imperial min
lister Of the German navy, appointed
after the conclusion Of the Franco
Prusslan war. was an army general.
and It was not until 1897 that the ap
pointment Of Admiral Tripitz placed at
the head Of the German navy q man
who had been bred a seaman.
Thus the events Of the last decade,
which have placed Germany ahead Of
all its rivals. save one. In the matter
Of naval equipment. represent some
thing Of a revolution In German his
