ALREADY NOMINATED

(Boston HeraId)
 It beats all how soon .'the people, have wearied of the popular primary. The three parties have already nom mated their candidates for governor. Walsh is the democratic candidate, Mccall the republican and Walker the progressive. No other aspirants have complied with the conditions for en- tering the race.
 For the lower places on the ticket and for councillor and congressi onal nominations there are contests, parti- cu1ar1y in the two old parties, whose nominations are of larger value. The progreSsives appear well satisffe ed with the preprimary slate. Since the decisions of the people on September 22 will affect only these minor, offices it is probable we shall then have a very small turnout.

rHE GERMAN MACHINE
Marshal oyamass Opinion of the Ger
 man Methods.
manclnester Guardian )

lManchester Guardian.)
 A system that has been built up dur ing nearly 40 years of peace is liable to show considerable weakness when it is brought face to face with actual war. There is some mysterious fac tor in the realization of the objects of a soldiers training that defeats all previous Judgments. The magic of the prox unity of sudden death so vii tiates all preconceived Restimates of the human factor that no man can be sure of an army that has not fired 9 shot in anger for 40 years.
 Such is the case with the German army. It is an unknown quantity as a, fighting machine: as a peace ma chine it is the standard of Europe. The German corps of officers. over whom the spell of Prussia has long been cast. has the quality of self-as- surance. This is a good foundation, It must. however, be remembered that the German army Is largely a. me- chanisrn for fashionfng a nation in ing without an examination to test either the ability of pupil or teach CT is long period A close study of the German office inclines the writ CT to believe that as a. class they are pedantic rather than practical sol- diers.
 E sOf the German so4dfe1s-ftsis hard to form a definite opinion The system in the German army makes the sol- dier just a cube in the block of par Quet. Individual initiative is discour- aEed The German unit Is a cohesive whole without resillience. It must win in mass, or. as it often did in its vic torious campaign against France, be- come irnmobi1e under fire in mass. It was the Japanese who really saw through the German system. Speak i ing to friend after the Russian war, the late Marshal Drama said:
 we are sel4eved 4o have modelled ourselves upon Germany. Tn the Ger man army there are many things that 1 are good, but our opinion is that, how ever poorly you may think of the Russians, we always believed that if they had been Germans we would have
 beaten them in half the time that l it took us to defeat Russia.''
 One may well ponder upon this re-
 hection by the usually client Japanese
 marshal, who had twice commanded l the imperial armies in the field.
