cisms Of Operations Of the
kaiser'o Forces.


The following review Of recent Ger
man movements along the Belgian
French frontier was written by Ulrich
Ritter, major general on the German
staff: The severe criticism of Ger
man operations is based on the I'm
preston of people not trained In mill
tary matters. Soldiers are now mass
ed along the entire line from Belfort
practically to the North sea, and the
two armies are facing each other, not
on German soil, but on Belgian soil
and In France, so that the great bat
ties will not be fought on German
territory. The losses at Liege, as Civ.
en- out by reliable sources, are from
1000 to 5000, although the enemy
reported as high as 3s,000 And, dis
regarding the tremendous difficulties
there, the Germans have taken the
city Of Liege and part of ito fortif1ca-
tons. Taking the remainder Is only
a matter of few days. The German
army of the north today overlooks the
Mouse and its vanguard is occupying
a line between Diest and Namur.
These vanguards consist not only Of
detachments of cavalry, but also of
machine guns. Gradual progress 10
being made all along the line. When
detachment finds itself outnumber-
ed it evades an engagement because
it 10 the business Of the vanguard not
to fight but to reconnoiter. These
tactics are seized upon by the Eng
lish to exploit AS Belgian victories.
The German mobilization was precise
and everywhere from north to south
the German army is meeting the en-.
emy on the enemy's soil. If the
French mobilization was so excellent
as they claim it was why are not the
French carrying the horrors of war to
German soil? The outer forts of
Longwy have been taken by the Ger
mans. German vanguards are march.

not have been military suicide If Ger
many had not anticipated the dangers
and occupied Belgium before France
had the opportunity. Strong French
detachments took possession of Al
SAGE on Aug. 10 and successfully made
their way through the passes of the
Vosges. A glance at the map will
show that these passes could not
have been fortified. 40 Belfort, by the
treaty Of Frankfort, was left In the
hands Of the French. Yet France
could not hold Mulhausen, being driv-
en- out by the Fourteenth Baden corps,
which took $500 French prisoners,
four cannon and killed or wounded
80 many French that the hospitals Of
Mulhausen could not accommodate
all of the wounded.

RAPID MOBILIZATION. I

done? Simply because the Job was
done half century ago-thousands
Of engineers, transportation experts
and economists have given their best
thought to this gigantic undertaking
ever since the Franco Prussian war.
Germany has known that some day
this million would be called to, the

the domains; and it coolly, under So
cialist pressure, demanded that the
prince cut down his income from
them. "You have no legal claim to

merely a matter of custom" The
prince retorted by asking for more
than the $4,000 a year which he has
hitherto drawn. The government gave
way. It will raise his wage year to

makes rough conditions. These are
that Prince Gunther shall pay for his
lackies uniforms: paint and paper
his own palace and cease drawing
state forage for his thirty horses. He
shall also, grimly say the Socialists,
pay for his own note paper. To that
the prince is opposed. He says the

and let the nation pronounce upon his
claim. The reds expect to win IN

closely the theory of defense laid down half a
century ago by the great Won Moltke
Won Moltke held that if Germany were com
PEELED to conduct war on two fronts it would
be impossible to maintain frontal defense of
Silesia against an invasion from the east He
argued that the first necessity was to prevent
, the invasion Of central Germany by flank at
tacks on the Russian right. Won Hindenberg's
greatest massing of troops has correspondence
been around Thorn and he has launched his
greatest attacks at the Russian right center
and right. Berlin s official announcement yes
terday stated that there was no activity in
southern Poland but that in northern Poland
Germany was gaining successes. The Russian
report dwelt on the fighting near LODI.
A frontal defense of Silesia would greatly
weaken Germanys defensive forces around
Thorn, as we'll as the forces that must face the
East Prussian invaders to prevent them gain
ing control of the important railway lines lead
ing further into Germany. TO impede the pro
gress of the enemy in Silesia, all communica
tons are being cut, frontier towns where food
and shelter might be given the Russians, are
demolished, and the country laid waste as the
defenders retire.
The fall of Cracow would seriously alter the
German plans of defense. More forces would
have to be thrown southwark, weakening the
central line Probably this situation accounts
for the reported differences between the Ger
man and Austrian general stats. The Aus
TRANS, it was persistently reported several
weeks ago, had determined upon merely a
"passive resistance" at Cracow. They would
hold Cracow as long as possible with limited
force and meanwhile the main force would be
entrenching itself with the obpect of protecting
the roads leading to Vienna. Their idea was to
make every preparation against rushing at
tack toward the capital. On the other hand,
the Germans wished Austria to concentrate her
army around Cracow and give stubborn battle
there This would, the German staff felt, make
the Teuton right a strong factor without weak
ening its center.

The pulling power" of Star Bulletin adver-
Using was never better shown than in the re-
suits of the Baseball Contest of one day only,
which closed last evening with noteworthy
record. IT,. III.
This contest received not word of advance
advertising. On Monday there appeared a
page of display with pictures of five famous
ball-players cut up into sections and distrlb-
uted among the advertisements on the page.
A modest list of prizes was offered for the per
sons who put together the pictures accurately
and neatly and sent them to the Star Bulletin
office first The contest closed at 5 O'Clock last
evening, less than twenty eight hours after
first notice of it was given the public.
The time was very short, the prizes were
modest, the original ad appeared without any
heralding, yet when the contest closed last
evening nearly 800 answers had been received.
They are still coming in. The total will prob
ably run close to 1000. ~: 81. ~...-.
The results show conclusively how widely
read are Star Bulletin advertisements Not
only read, but acted upon. Every evening in
the week the Star Bulletin goes into the homes
of thousands of people to be read carefully and
thoroughly.
These results while noteworthy are not ex-
traordinary. They are typical of the advertis-
ing in this paper. As an illustration OF the
value Of advertising, the Baseball Contest is
graphic Timely ads, well-written ads, striking
a popular note, are bound to pull public pat
ronage The evening paper is the premier me-
dunn. A thousand answers in Sc hours is en-
phatic proof.

ADMIRAL MAHAN's VIEWS.

Rear-Admiral Alfred r. Mahan, news of
whose sudden death was published yesterday
afternoon, ranked as Americas best-knOwn
writer on naval affairs and his authority was
unquestioned. To the popular mind certainly
his comment has been followed with more con-
fdence than that of any other American writer
on modern sea warfare.
Shortly before his death Admiral Mahan pre-
dicted that 1.-The most decisive strokes in the
general European warfare" would be delivered
npon sea rather than upon land. He foretold
the entry of Turkey into the naval arena. He
also believed that Greece and Italy would ulti-
mately be forced into the conflict and expected
some lively fighting in the Mediterranean. One
of his comments was that this war would prove
the value of the "volume of fire, the number
of hits" rather than of single shots from
greater guns. He inclined to the view that the
mixed gun ship" that is, the ship with for
midable batteries of small as well as large guns
would prove more efficacious in battle than a
superdreadnought with only few small guns
for use against torpedo boats
Admiral Mahan's predictions will be closely
followed during this war.

AN ACUTE NAVAL SITUATION.

The rmored presence of the German Pacific
squadron off the Argentine coast changes ma
terially the aspect of the naval warfare to date.
If the squadron that defeated Admiral Grad
docks trio Monmouth, Good Hope and Glas-
gow-off. Chile has in reality slipped into the
Atlantic, Germany is powerless in the Pacific
ocean but active in the Atlantic.
The German cruiser Karlsruhe is quite as
elusive as the Emden, though her career of de-
struction has been less spectacular. 1t is be-
ievsd the Karlsruhe is somewhere off the South
American coast She was last reported in Bra
lillian waters. Very possibly this commerce
destroyer has joined Admiral Won Spec g squad
ron off the mouth of the river La Plata. But
even with this augmented strength Won Spec is
not able to cope on equal terms with the British
feet said to be near Montevideo, unless that
feet is made up of Anticipated vessels armed
with short-range, light caliber guns.
The criticism of the British admiralty for
allowing the Monmouth, Good Hope and elias
cow to meet the speedy and wellarmed Scharn-
horst and Gneisenau, not to mention the Nurn-
berg and the Leipzig, was immediate and
severe It is not conceivable that the British
beet now hunting the Germans on the east coast
of South America is inferior to the German
SQUADRON in tonnage, speed, or gun-power. The
number of ships in the British feet was last
week reported as ten. tits to be expected there
fore that the Britons will meet the enemy at
least on equal and probably on superior terms.
So far as the Star Bulletin has been able to
collect authentic reports and records OF the
losses to date, the Germans have lost
tVentv-one war vessels, exclusive OF an I'M
named destroyer believed to have been sunk IN
the North Sea and exclusive also of several con-
perted cruisers. The report of the sinking OF
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse last week was
% vague that it is not included among the list
of German vessels captured or destroyed. The
i;et does include the cruiser Geier, informed at
Honolulu. and the cruiser Koenigsberg, cred
;hlv reported as being bottled up on the African
coast.
What the next few days will bring it is i'm
nossible to foretell, but every indication points
Il the most important sea-battle up to the
present time. An engagement between the
Germans and British off South America must
IL of high importance. If the British win,
qsrmany,s menace on the sea will be, for STRAIT
so;c nurposes, confined to her submarine raids
q the North Sea and along the Straits, and to
ber bic feet quietly watchful behind Hellgo-
land The seven seas will be open to British
sb;nning. If the Germans win, British COM
,5erce on the Atlantic win be- seriously imper-
lied. and British naval prestige badly i'm
paired.
