QUAKER MEDI4ATIONs.


Virtue is its own reward. All the
heroes don't draw pensions.
Love occasionally dies a lingering
death, but it is more often due to
heart disease.
The fellows who believe there
should be a tax on bachelors are all
married men.
Wealth may not bring happiness, but
1t is quite possible to be happy in
spite of riches.
You can generally make a married
woman happy by convincing her that
she is q martyr.

battlefield Now let us get at the stra-
tcGic significance of the seemingly
widely scattered fortified cities upon
which the Germans count to check and
TO hold the Cars vast armies now NOV
ing toward Berlin.
Each Of these cities can hold thou
sands OF defenders. and behind their
sheltering walls or defenccs one man
counts as the equal of five attackers.
Again, these same troops have an
other advantage over those in the open,
outlying country. because he guns of
the forts are generally heavier and
more formidable weapons than tho mo-
bile artillery in the field. and under
the protection Of this more powerful
attack they can make snrties which
are calculated to do more damage to
he hcsiegers than an equal number of
them could do in aSsaultnE the per-
manent defences. What is the conse-
quenCe Of this?
Why. either the foe mus, try 10 carry
the city and its forts by sheer numbers

less likely 10 be hit by the return at
tack because Of this ability to shift its
position.
Lieut.. Col Fiebeger. in his work on
permanent fertilization. has this i'm
portant information of present interest
for US, and incidentally he tells us some
thing about one OF Germany's prime
fortress cities.
The conhguration Of the boundary
between two States he says. will
frequently determine the location and
character OF its frontier fortresses Thus
II We examine the western boundary Of
Russia Il will he seen that East Prus-
sia is an Isolated province which can
be readily invaded by Russia from the
east and the south To hold il Germany
has found Il necessary to construct the
intrenched camp OF Koenigsberg as a
base OF operations and to construct
strong hridgeheads along the Vistula
To Insure communication between East
Prussia and the provinces TO its west.
Similarly the Russian province of Po-
land is Isolated and exposed to invasion
from The north and west by Germany
and from the south by Austria. This
has compelled Russia To construct the
strong intrenched camps of Modlin,
Ivangorod and Warsaw, 10 serve as
bases for the army entrusted with the
defence OF this province"
All that IL known of the forts at
Liege and the details that have been
made public regarding the newest de-
fence Of Paris and Antwerp are equally
applicable to the fortresses constituting
tho eastern and southeastern offences
OF Berlin, and Danzg and Koenlgsberg
are even more heavily guarded and
armed because Of their positions upon
the Baltic coast. Fortunately We are

twne with its free end secured upon
some base in the homeland This con-
Meeting trail rcarward represents the
line of communications by which the
onward moving troops draw supplies
from that base and over which their
wounded must be carried to the rear
Ii is perfectly plain that the further the
invaders advance the longer becomes
this vital line of communications, and
mile after mile men must he told Off
In ample numbers to protect and to
maintain this binding tie with the
fathcrland.
In measure it may be possible for
the invaders to live upon the land or
to draw the needful susienance from
the supplies in captured towns and
cities. but an army to he effective must
he furnished with something besides
food. Fresh troops must he brought up
to take the places Of those falling in
battle or those left along the way to
guard the line Of communication. Quite
as important is the daily moving of
more ammunition. rifles and field guns
to strengthen the front and to make up
for deficiencies. These Of necessity
must come from the homeland base.
As matter Of fact this Is one OF the
most serious problems with any fight
ing force, and especially SO when the
advance carries the battling corps into
the heart OF hostile country. During
some of the campaigns OF our civil war
the Union troops had more men guard
ing this military artery than were ac-
tually present al the front or upon the

The general type OF German detached
forts Is something Of modification OF

city's sick-many of them neglected or
enduring the xost painful privations'
Gradually The Prussians worked their
way closer TO the city so that they
could place their siege guns In COM

more accurate and far reaching, and 1t
was merely a question OF time before
the city lay exposed to the plunging
