WHAT MOBILIZATION MEANS.
Wars Paralyzing Effects Seen il
Continental Europe.

Mobilization in Europe is conscrip-
| tion, says the Philadelphia Ledger
Practically every able bodied citizen
must serve "A term in the army. His
assignment is known, he is on the ar
my lists: unless he reports he is con-
sidered a deserter. In Germany the
mobilization order is issued by the
emperor. II is Immediately promul-
gated by all military and civil author
tiles at home and abroad. Every
individual knows at once what to do
Skeleton regiments are filled out and
additional regiments formed. Sim
ultaneously there is a levy of horses.
The order reaches into every house,
hold; into the factories, the ship
yards, the hotels, the farms, river
boats, everywhere. Almost instant
ly the male individuals within the
prescribed ages must at once report
to the barracks to come under mill
tary discipline. Infantry, cavalry and
artillery units double and triple at
once.
This Is the first step in mobilization.
The second is the transportation and
concentration of forces. The railways
are siezed, the telegraph and telephone
systems, mail, military aerial and rail-
way service are assigned. The com
lines are laid and transporta-
ton provided for. With marvellous
efficiency the full fighting strength in |
front and rear is made ready and co.
ordinated.
The psychological effect of mobiliZa-
tion Is tremendous. In every household |
some ties are broken. The fields are
stripped OF men. Artillery rolls through |
the streets, bands play. An atmos-
phere Of apprehension settles down on
he country. Ordinary occupations
ease; new conditions OF life exist. And
hen the hours of anxiety ensue.
There Is no village that does not ex-
,ect its dead i'm order OF mobilization
n war times is portentous thunder
lash in the ears Of every human be-
ng, "A warming the harvest of death is
bout to be reaped.
