ment was made by the secretary OF

Europe buying heavily from food

ceixable that a situation could arisi

MOBILIZATION EFFECTS.

The term mobilization"
means in Germany something
very different from the COM
paratively leisurely process for
which the word is known to
Americans.
When a mobilization is or
dercd in a thoroughly militar-
ICED country, as former Ger
man soldiers now in this coun-
try describe the movement,
the country goes under mar
tial law.
All transportation lines even
though privately owned. are
Immediately transferred to
military control.
Every man drops his work as
soon as he hears the order;
the plough is left In the fur
row; customers are left at the
counter: balances are left un-
checked in the bank.
Every man liable for mill
tary duty rushes to the nearest
transportation line which will
take him TO his regiment.
The reservists do not wait to
pack luggage or food. There
are clothing, equipment and
food for all at the mobilization
ccnters.
