There are military men of high po-
sltlon and acknowledged experiences in
this country who have not hesitated to
declare the French war college and the
French mechanical genius in the nan

greatest in all of Europe. Frenchmen
like to fight. They love their France.
Their emotional patriotism is a thing

German soldier.

Tn the other hand, when France, seeing her sta
blllty threatened, began to take precautionary
measures, Germany, without waiting for a formal

or the Hague tribunal, hurled the German legions
across the borders Of the Gallo republic and started
to redrench the soil of Alsace- Lorraine with fresh

NATIONS OF EUROPE ARE GOING FORTH TO BATTLE

FROM n sioux City tribune. M3# -
The Sabbath day, Gods truce day, dawned over
Europe.
100000 bayonets glinted In the rays of the ris-
ing sun; from the Baltic to the Aegean, the contin-
ent OF Europe trembled under the rumble of massing
artillery; from the white cliffs of Calais to the eau
casus mountains the plains Of Europe shook beneath
the pounding Of squadrons of cavalry. 100000 men

factories silent; harvest fields deserted and even the

And worst, sadest Of all this day of Gods truce,
