TINY M0RESNET.

The Little Republic That Lies Hidden
on 6slsium'S Border.
II there is an advantage In a country
being large there Is also an advantage
In its being small, provided 1t Is small
enough. The republic Of Moresnet. also
called Kemis and sometimes Alten-
berg, owes fits independent existence to
the fact that It is 50 small that the Eu-
ropean powers don't even take the
trouble 10 annex It.
Moresnet lies on the border Of Bel
GUM and Prussia between Verviers
and Aix-la-C -Chapelle. 1t has an area
Of 1.400 acres and a population Of $500.
At one time the community belonged
to Austria 1t was later annexed by
France and made the subject Of quite
a little dispute between Napoleon 1.
and the Prussians. But at the congress
Of Vienna in 1915 nobody seems to
have thought Of Moresnet. and to this
day the country is an independent re-
public. For a time there was some dis
pute between Belgium and Prussia
about the territory on account Of the
rich cadmium mine located there. But
even this is now extinct.
The republic has an administration
Of it's own, composed Of a burgomaster
and ten members Of a council. The
burgomaster is both a Prussian and
a Belgian subject The inhabitants
speak both German and French and
decide individually whether they will
perform military service for Prussia
or for Belgium.
Moresnet has not yet been heard from

The German Army Step.

In the German army great attention
Is paid to physical exercises. At first
the recruit is taught to throw back
his arms violently. expand bis chest
lower and elevate the body by bend
ing the knees and many similar move
ments calculated to strengthen and
render supple all the muscles Of the
body. Then comes practice in march
ing, and here the famous goose along
step" comes into evidence. A whole
SQUAD Of recruits may be seen march
ing across the drill ground, rising on
one foot and balancing there with the
other leg extended until the order
comes. Then down comes the elevated
foot In as long a step as possible and
up with the other. This long step Is
said to make the Germans excellent
marchers.
