When on the defensive the duty of the indi.

Judgment and rapid decision, are alternately de.

heavy strain on personality.
1t is evident, then, that the army which con.
tains the greatest number OF self-reliant and
independent personalities must have distinct
advantage. This object, therefore, we must
strive with every nerve to attain; to be superior
in this respect to all our enemies And this nh

M in order to secure the superiority in
w a war of the future under otherwise
equal conditions, 1t is incumbent on us:
First, during the period of preparation TO
raise the tactical value and capabilities OF the
troops as much as possible, and especially to
develop the means Of concealing the attacking
movements and damaging the enemy's tactical
powers.
Secondly, in the war itself to act on the often.
sive and strike the first blow, and to exploit
the manoeuvring capacity Of the troops as
much as possible, in order to be superior In the
decisive directions.
that cannot be relnquished, and is exposed to
attacks by enemies more powerful than itself, is
bound TO act in this sense. 1t must, before all
things, develop the attacking powers of its
army, since strategic defensive must often
adopt Offensive methods.
This .principle holds good prominently for
Germany. The points which have tried to
emphasize must never be lost sight Of. if we
wish to face the future with confidence. All
our measures must be calculated to raise the
efficiency OF the army, especially in attack; 20
this end ali else must give way We shall
thus have central point which all
measures can be focused. We car make them
all serve one purpose, and thus we shall be
kept from going astray on the bypaths which
We all too easily take If we regard matters
separately, and not as forming parts of 3 coz
lective whole. Much of our previous omissions
and commissions would have borne a quito
different complexion had we observed this uni.
flying principle.
The requirements which have described as
the most essential somewhat opposed to
the trend of our present efforts, and necessitate
resolute resistance to the controlling forces
of our age.
Tho larger the armies by which one State
trles to outbid another the smaller will be the
efficiency and tactical worth of the troops; and
not merely the average worth but the worth Of
each separate detachment as such. Huge
armies are even danger to their own cause.
Every army at the present time is divided
into regular troops, who are already organized
IN time OF peace and are merely brought to full
strength in war time, and new formations,
which are only organized on mobilization.
Inc tactical value of these latter varies much
according to their composition and the age
OF the units, but is always much inferior to
mat or the regular troops. The Landwe1pr
formations, which employed in the field
IN lS?o'I1, were an example of this, notwith.
STANDING the excellent services which they rem.
dered, and the new French formations in that
campaign were totally ineffective The sphere
Oh ACTIVITY OF such troops Is the second line
, IN an offensive war their duty is TO secure
the railroads and bases, TO garrison the con.
quefed territory, and partly also to beseee the
enemies fortresses. in fact they must dis

But it is so excellent skin nutrient

"Don'ts" for
Housewives

YOSEPH HARTIGAN, New York
City's Commissioner OF Weights
u and Measures, has suggested
the following ''Don'ts" for the house
wife who does not want to suffer
from the increased cost OF living any
more than is absolutely necessary:
Don't let the butcher weigh the
paper in with your meat.
Don't let the butcher touch the
scales or remove the package until
the indicator has come to stop.
Don't forget that the weight Of
bread must be plainly marked on
the loaf or wrapper.
Don't buy your sugar or flour by
the package; buy them by weight.
Don't let fancy packages fascinate
you-you can't eat the packages:
Don't buy five or ten cents worth;
buy by weight or measure.
Don't mistake cheapness for econ
pmy.
Don't be afraid of the tradesman,
and don't be ashamed to carry a
bundle.

Shake it out an: squeeze in an old
cloth, but do not wiring. It must be
still damp and all pulled into shape,

IT is best to begin pulling the lace

then press 1t hard on the wrong side
