THE GERMAN WAR MACHINE

AT the end of the first great move.
ment of the European conflict the
German war machine seems to have
justified the faith of Wilhelm and the
nation. 1t has divided one wing of
the allies and swept the remnant
back upon Antwerp, captured the
capital of Belgium and made its way
to Ostend, strategic point along the
English channel. No mere tactician S
theory can minimize the significance
OF this success. And upon the heels
of it comes the news of an exceeding
ly aggressive movement Of Germans
in the field of Alsace-L Lorraine.
There is no Disgusting the fact that
the allies are at a disadvantage. The
Germans have paid high price for
their victories, but they expected
that And the cost has been compar-
atively small when one takes into
consideration the gains. The Belgian
army is practically eliminated from
the contest. Germany has her forces
at many strategic points along the
French border. 1t would not be sur
prising to see the vast army of the
Fatherland converge upon Paris with
in very few weeks.
The great problem of the German
forces just now is to get to Paris be-
fore they begin to. feel the shortage
of provisions. None realize the fact
better than the German general staff.
With the English fleet cutting off
supplies by sea, with France press
ing upon the south and the Russian
horde moving slowly toward Berlin
On the north and east, the kaiser
must needs strike quickly. Every
hour of delay will bring additional
advantage to the Muscovite. His &c.,
GOO men now being massed for the
advance through German territory is
more than match, numerically, for
any army the kaiser can throw against
him. The danger of Germany's po-
sition is hardly less than when the
war began. The kaiser must take
Paris in time to swing a considerable
part of his army back to repel the
Russians. This is one of the inevi-
table handicaps against which he
struggles. Another is the imminent
danger of famine. Even the immense
supplies accumulated in advance can
not hold out long. In order to obtain
more food, the Germans must be VIC
torious by land and sea, or so signal
ly victorious on land that their sue
cess can outweigh defeat upon the
water. Now that this war machine
is in motion, it is plain that the kaiser ,
has not greatly overestimated his own
strength. But time is to be the de-
termining factor. The delay of a
week. or even day, might give the
Russians an opportunity to rush Prus-
STA by sheer force of numbers.
Meanwhile, glance at the daily
in this country is sufficient to
convince the most enthusiastic and
jealous German that the American
press will ungrudgingly print news
of German victories whenever they
can get tx. C. Journal. /,

jefferson City, NO., Aug. 25.-The
National and State administrations re-

The senior Senator from Missouri

TEN ALDERMEN SUPPORT THE
'PHONE-MERGER QUESTION


The telephone merger question
walked quite Unexpectedly into the
rooms of the committee on gas, oil
and electric light yesterday and
found an able champion in Aid. Jas.
F. Burns of the 21st Ward.
Aid. Merriam tried to fight the peo-
pies fight, but the combination be-
hind Burns was too much and, while
gaining few concessions, he lost.
Burns term expires this year and
he is not candidate for reelection.
So he should worry what the people
think.
The question of the right of the
Illinois Tunnel Co. to sell the Auto
matte phone to the telephone trust
for $6,300,000 came up before the
committee several months ago.
At that time there was consider
able feeling against the merger and
the committee got cold feet and de-
cided they would have nothing to do
with the merger until informed how
much of the purchase price would be
added to the capitalization of the Chi
cago Telephone Co., a thing that
would mean increased telephone
rates.
The matter was allowed to rest un-

til yesterday, when Atty Daniel
ocnuyIer, representing the company,
walked into the committee room,
backed up by State Sen. Samuel Et-
telson, and demanded that the COM r
mittee go on record as being either
opposed or in favor of the telephone
merger. ii
Burns Immediately picked up the
cue and offered a resolution to the i
effect that the committee was in fa-,,
vor of the purchase.
Merriam then began his fight r
against the scheme. But he had a.
tough job. Only Aldermen Kearns
and Beilfuss backed him up. =.
After a long argument resolu- >
ton stating that the committee was
opposed to the existence of two tele- q
phone systems was adopted. o
Burns bounced back on his feet =
again and offered a resolution invit- =,
ing President Bernard E. Sunny of r
the Chicago Telephone Co. to appear r
before the committee next Thursday. :
The aldermen who stung the peo- :,
pie and voted in the interest of the =,

re-surfaced in 1912 at a cost Of approx
