STEEL PLATED FRONTIER.
Germany's Scheme for a Chain o
Forts Along the VistuIa.

Forts Along the NIstula.
London Telegraph: The principal
weakness Of the military position Of
the German empire results from it's
liability to attack on the eastern, that
is the Russian, frontier. Not that
these empires nave at present any hos
tile intentions towards one another, al
though rivalry in the Near East may
bring them into collision at some flu
ture date.
On the contrary, both governments
have the strongest motives for culti-
waiting friendly relations; but Russia
is the ally OF France, and dare not
risk the destruction Of European euui-
poise involved in the downfall OF the
republic. The eastern frontier of Prus-
STA presents no natural feature like
the Rhine or the Alps, but the broad
| Vistula flowing northward from Po-
land cuts off the whole province Of
East Prussia, and Poland juts in be-
tween Germany and Austria like a
wedge. To counterfeit the natural dis
advantages of the situation, it has been
decided to strengthen the line Of the
river by fortified bridge heads, so as
to deny passage to the enemy and to
retain for Germany the greatest lib
erty Of manoeuver.
Six important bridges at Thorn, For
don, Graudenz, Dirschau, Marienburg
and Marienwerder span the river, and
works Of great strength have already
been begun to protect these points 1t
is reckoned that the bridge heads,
| which will constitute fortresses of on
siderable Importance, will be ready in
three years time.
The German army, under the recent
law, will muster over 800, 600 soldiers i'm

army corps. Four of these corps, the

ian, Seventeenth West Prussian, and

with headquarters at Danzig, and may
be designated the army of the Vistulas
With the fortified bridge heads ena-

Why should q Flour Mill be compelled Ito buy their wheat from what is

May 27th, the same day as the funeral
of Mrs. Slye, the mother of our Master,
was very short, the meeting beiTg
called by Worthy 0verseer Haines for
the purpose Of passing resolutions and
draping the charter. Mrs. Slye was a
member OF the Woman's Work com-
mittee, always active and enthusiasts
tic and faithful worker for the order
she loved. Her place can never DO
filled Ii was memorial week in
very truth for us, for her death came
so unexpectedly on Monday morning,
May 25th, that we hardly realized she
was gone when we were called To lay
her away and go on with the work the
same as she would have wished. us to
do. Many of our members were pres
ent at the funeral wearing mourning
badges AS token of the sorrow we felt
for our loss and our sympathy for her
bereaved family.

two Italians appeared in relation TO
the matter and Deputy Sheriff Hol-
brook took them TO Mechanicsville in
his automobile where they Identified
the man and he was taken into custo-
dy. When the party arrived here at
the police station in the afternoon the
Providence police we're communicated
with. They stated that they did not
want the man as there was no evidence
against him. He was taken back TO
Mechanicsville where the matter was
explained 10 his employer. 1t seems
that one OF the men who came here ac-
cused the man arrested Of taking some
money from him but had no evidence
to substantive bis charge except that
the man spent the night with him.
