In Lorraine, which were not defended,
as 1t might be possible that the en-
thusiasm and popular clamor Of the
French would force an invasion OF
their lost provinces of Alsace-Lor-
raine. But 1t is highly improbable that
determined advance in force will be
made on this line even should popular
camor demand It.
The German Plans.
Germany on the other hand has not
only France to attend to but Russia
as well In considering her plans she
also must take into account Austria.
Should Russia be allowed to mobilize
fully and concentrate. it is probable
that she would be able to overwhelm
Austria, first attacking on the Lem
berg Bucharest (Roumania) line. 1t
is probable that Germany Is acting
with rapidity against Russia.
What press dispatches have drifted
through indicate that 10000 Germans
landed some three days ago between
Hango and Helsingfors in Finland.
This force in all probability consisted
Of one army corps and one cavalry d.
vision, some additional heavy artillery.
engineers and aeronautical troops.
From Warsaw to ST. Petersburg
there are IL Russian corps, but as
these are not fully modified one Ger
man corps is probably as strong IN
men as two Russian corps just now.
The German corps which landed IN
Finland and therefore behind st. Pc
tersburg is undoubtedly designed to
hold the four Russian corps In that
vicinity to keep them from going to
the assistance OF the other Russian
corps further to the south.
Again it was reported that the Rus
sian government has decided to evacu-
ate Warsaw, which was officially de-
MED at ST. Petersburg. Weighing This
evidence. 1t seems probable that
there has been a German advance from
Intersburg in the direction OF wilma
to hold the four Russian corps sta
toned In that district from doing any
harm or going to any other place.
Possibly three German corps, whose
stations are close to Wilma, are en-
gagged in that operation.
II the vigorous fighting Of these four
German corps, the one in Finland and
the three against Wilma, Is strong
enough, eight Russian corps might
probably be isolated and fully occu'
pied with their own affairs and not
able to move or concentrate anywhere
else.

viii Cost More-Two Years
Ago Cost $3.50.

Misunderstanding John S. Donald
has finished the work of mailing the
state primary election campaign
pamphlet to the 100000 voters of Wis
consin. The cost to the state of issu-
ing the pamphlet was $1,000. The
state received from candidates who
bought space in the pamphlet the sum
of $4,000. The net cost to the state
was s7,120.
The law provides that a similar
pamphlet shall be issued prior to the
general election. 1t Is expected that
the gross cost of that pamphlet will
be $4,000. The fee charged candi-
dates for space in the primary and
general election pamphlets is gradu-
ated. running from 500 a page FOR can
didates for the lower house of the leg
islature to 5000 page for candidates
for United States senator or state Off
Ger.
The cost of getting out the primary
election pamphlet two years ago was
$3.50. The cost of the pamphlet this
year is larger because the printing bill
is nearly 43 per cent higher, and the
total number of pamphlets Is about
100000 larger.

$4,000 of these were cavalry. This
means that the tt rec Austrian corps
stationed in Galicia, or a little less
than 100000 combatants, with nine d.
visions OF cavalry, about $4,000, have
gone into Russia, but just where Is
left to the imagination.
Six corps, three German and three
Austrian, and from $4,000 to 10000
cavalry are probably advancing to-
wards Brest-Litcvosk. BY the time
these arrive there it Is difficult to see
how the Russians can have more than
three full corps and 10000 to 10000
cavalry. Austrian troops have ad-
vanced along the eastern frontier that
Is Just north of Roumania-
1t seems probable that on the
French frontier at the present time
Germany has nine corps OF the active
army, assisted by one Austrian corps
on the German extreme left, near the
Swiss border. There probably are
nine more corps OF the first reserve
and nine more Of the second reserve
also on the French frontier. which
with all their auxiliaries amount to
well over 100000 fighting men.
1t appears that If these million Ger
mans care to remain on the defensive
on the French border 1t will take a
pretty goodly number OF attackers to
get them out OF their intrenchments. II

kleI Canal Big Factor.
The Kel canal Is the deciding fac
tor in the control OF tho sea 1t Is 300
miles from Namur Many OF Germany's
great supply points are in the interval
between. An advance on this line
would be near the sea, where England
could help with her ships. Once the
Klel canal is captured humiliation of
the German feet might result. which
would give command Of the Baltic sea
to France and her allies and allow the
unrestricted transport OF Russian
troops and material Of war to the
north German coast.
