FRANCES DEBT TO ALBION.

The traditional feud between France and Eng
land apparently has been healed by the present
French British troops fighting side by side on
French soil. Nearly three army of the British
are the battle line and Britain is pouring in fresh
troops stripping her dependencies to get trained
soldiers 1t question what the fate of Paris would
be but the logged resistance Of the English, Irish
and Scotch of the British army to the wonderful
rush of the German infantry. Resentful French
memories of grievances dating back for centuries have
been wiped out, and the martyrdom of Joan of
Arc has been forgotten The Napoleonic wars fur
nished reasons for deeplyrooted resentments in the
French mind 1t was Perfde Albion which capital
lied the nations hostile to France and finally organ
lied the ''Holy Alliance" It England that de-
stroyed French naval power at Trafalgar and the bat
tie of the Nile. 1t was England that sent Wellington
to Portugal to defeat and drive the French out of
Spain in campaigns that cost France 4000 900 of her
best soldiers 1t was England that accomplished Ma
poleons fall at Waterloo. There have been later
that are CALLING to French pride such
the Fashoda incident which defeated French hopes of
an African empire. But all that is forgotten now
Old scores are wiped out The entente arranged by
King Edward VII, which then in no wise bound Eng
land to go to war has been made alliance more
substantial it has proved, than the Triple Alliance
which Italy has repudiaed 1t is well said that graft
tude does not govern the policy of nations and ndivd
uals but the debt of France In this is monumental
and will certainly influence French policy for many
years 81

BATTLES LASTING DAYS.

Battles not won in day. Gettysburg lasted
three days, and it only the third day there
were decisive results The battle of Antietam lasted
two days Grants Wilderness campaign was almost
a continuous battle. Waterloo was an affair of one
day only as were nearly all of the great battles fought
by Napoleon
the present great in Europe, in which vastly
more engaged than in any former war; the
battles fought extend several days. The great
battle of the Marine lasted six seven days and the
present battle has been in progress several days In
Eastern Europe the battles are as much prolonged.
This kind of warfare is tremendous strain on the
conbatants An is no stronger than the physical
endurance it's soldiers and who fight day after
day or are constantly in battle line have little oppor
tunity for sleep and rest. Body and mind are on a
prolonged tension.
1t can readily be believed that when the German
army arrived its wonderful march in the vicinity
of the Paris Notifications the men were exhausted.
Between marching and fighting in their forward prog
ress there little of sleep they got, and perhaps
also little in the way of food The stories told of cap
tured famished soldiers credible.

How an Army
Lives on Enemy

Supplies of food are, as rule. to be
found for several days in every town
or village. and each householder
usually has sufficient quantity to
provide his family for a few days,
consequently, at least the same num-
Der of soldiers as there are indivi-
duals in the household can obtain
subsistence there for day or two.
This method. is the one which dis
tributes more uniformly, if not in the
best way, the burden of the subsist-
ence among all the inhabitants, and
makes it possible to sdbsist the great
est number OF men in a given section
of country.
An exception should always be
made in favor of the poorer classes,
who at the best of times, are barely
able to provide for their own families.
The following exceptions are usual
ly made: fa@ n
First-Any householder who has en-
tertained wounded man in his house
is exempted from the quartering of
soldiers. (Article ", Geneva Con-
vention of 1864. acceded to by United
States, March 1, 1922
Second-Charitable institutions, hos
pitfalls, asylums for aged and infirm,
religious communities of women. I'M
protected women, and educational in
stitutions for girls should not have
troops billeted upon them.
The advantage of this system is
that the men at the end of days
march find their meal ready cooked
and prepared. The disadvantages are
that it causes very great dispersion
and separation of the different units.
In addition, this method may lead to
oppression on the part of the troops,
if they are not treated as literally as
they consider they should be. The
dispersion of the troops prevents the
officers enforcing strict compliance
with orders and is subyersive of dis
cipline.
A supply of uniform clothing must
be provided from the home country
and sufficient reserve available at
all times to replace the losses which
occur in active service. In some of
the foreign armies the first reserve
of clothing is composed of 10 per
cent. of trousers and shoes; per
cent of caps, coats and overcoats.
These percentages are calculated on
the maximum war strength of the
organization. In those armies every
soldiers kit must at all times contain
an absolutely new uniform; this uni
form the man is required to put on
only when the order for mobilization
is received The troops, consequently
march into the field in new clothing,
which arrangement very greatly re-
duces the demands upon the reserve
during the campaign.
A study of the orders given by Ma
poleon indicates the care he exercised
to have a sufficient supply of shoes
| provided. On one occasion he wrote:
'You know that shoes are always
needed in war" and at another time
he said to Baron Lejeune, "Shoes help
on marches, and marches win bat
ties" To Sir John Burgoyne's ques-
ton addressed to Wellington, What
was the first requirement of SOL
| dierT "a good pair of Shoes" he re-
piled. And the second requirement 20
"a good pair of shoes for a change"
And the third?' "a pair of shoes for
repairs. "-Scientific American.

NEwARKs FISH SUPPLY THREATENED.

The purchase by private parties, supposed to be
emissares of the fish trust of fish at Beford at prices
considerably greater than the price paid for fish for
the Newark public markets. is an indication of what
the forestalers of the peoples food will resort to-
Yesterday by reason of the snort supply caused by
these purchases hundreds of families in Newark
unable to get fish for their tables
With it's large capital command of the fish
market the trust prevent municipalities from get
ting pound of fish at the shore The trust can buy
up all the fish netted the coast and at any price,
and then dispose of the fish to the oil factories to
keep it out of the markets The trust summarily
stop the sale of fish in Newark municipal markets by
simply pre-empting the supply
That this has not been done is easily understood.
The trust looked upon the Newark experiment one
for few days 1t only matter of few thou
sand pounds of fish and the experimenters would
abandon it. But the example of Newark has been
catching. In New York enterprising newspaper
has opened more than of markets and large
quantities of sea food being sold at cents a
pound.
1t was time to declare war-a war on the con-
sumers, and principally the poor and evidently
Newark sustain the first attack And this fish, be
embered is State property, taken State prop
erty and the State authorities angudly look on while
its property is devoted by foreign trust to purposes

Noted Women Whose Birthday Is Yours

Ellen Yaw, Mary Vincent
Copyrighted 1914.

BY MARY
September IS stands out as the
birthday of an American singer and
an English actress, Ellen Yaw and
Mary Vincent. Ellen Yaw, who is
sometimes called the California
Nightingale" was, as matter of
fact, born in Boston. 1t is because
of her long residence in California
and her great fondness for that State
that she has been claimed as a Cali
fornian. Between grand opera en-
gagements and concert tours she goes
to her ranch in California, there to
enjoy the benefit of outdoor life and
relaxation.
Ellen Yaw, like almost all other
great singers, showed early signs of
her vocal power. Friends who knew
her as a child recall that she used to
sing the children's hymn. Dear Lit
tie Lambs. Won't You Come to the
Savior" at the tender age of four
with such sweetness of tone that
there was little doubt that she pos
sessed q remarkable voice. She stud
led as girl in America and then
went to Paris, where, after several
years of study, she made her debut.

MAKING A FRIEND OF LArIN-AMERIoA.

The best thing the United States government has
done in Mexico the order for the withdrawal of
the American garrison from Vera Cruz. There are
1900 soldiers and marines at Vera Cruz, enough
in garrison for march the Mexican capital Scott
had no more electives than this force when he took
the city and in fighting efficiency the Vera Cruz troops
at least ten times greater than SCOTS army.
The presence of these troops has been interpreted
by the Mexicans well by all Latin America as

gencies, ready for battle. However friendly our in
