French War Material as Compared
with Gcrmany's.

The order TO French reservists to be
prepared to join the colors upon forty
eight hours notice can have only one
meaning for patriotic citizens: that Is
that France may have TO try concln-
sions with Germany upon the battle
field In war for which each country
has been getting ready since the brief
and decisive struggle of 1901,
struggle that cost France Alsace'Ior-
raine and an enormous indemnity.
For forty-two years Frenchmen have
talked of war of revenge, and they
now seem 10 he entering the shadow of
another great conflict. The question
in their minds must be whether France
IL as well prepared for the ordeal rs
she ought to be. A recent discussion
in the Senate provoked by report
upon war material made by NJ.
CHARLES HuMRERr Is disquicting.
After making II thorough inveStiga-
ton NJ. lIUMBERT told the Senate that
the fortlhCations were defective In

in artillery ammunition; that no pro-
vision had been made for defence
against attacks from the air, and that
the wireless installation for communl-
cating between fort ana fort left much
to be desired. lie easily proved that
the German wireless system was SUI

the installation Mt Metz was working
