Is probable that Germany is acting
with rapidity against Russia.
what press dispatches have drifted
through indicate that 10000 Germans
landed some three days ago between
Hango and Helsingfors in Finland.
This force in all probability consisted
OF one army corps and one cavalry d.
vision, some additional heavy artillery,
engineers and aeronautical troops.
From Warsaw to St. Petersburg
there are IL Russian corps, but as
these are not fully modified one Ger
man corps is probably as strong in
men as two Russian corps just now.
The German corps which landed in
Finland and therefore behind St. Pc
tersburg is undoubtedly designed to
hold the four Russian corps in that
vicinity to keep them from going to
the assistance Of the other Russian
corps further to the south.
Again it was reported that the Rus
sian government has decided to evacu-
ate Warsaw, which was officially de-
MED at st. Petersburg. Weighing this
evidence, it seems probable that
there has been German advance from
lntersburg in the direction of Wilma
to hold the four Russian corps sta
toned In that district from doing any
harm or going to any other place.
Possibly three German corps, whose
stations are close to Wilma, are en-
gagged in that operation.
If the vigorous fighting Of these four
German corps, the one in Finland and
the three against Wilma, Is strong
enough, eight Russian corps might
probably be isolated and fully occu.

Invitation and Answer.

Mr.. F. c. Phillips in his book, MY
Varied Life" tells how the late Sir
George Honeyman, an Infamous
writer, sent down from the bench to
a friend Of his, leading @. c., a
little note. Not able to make head
nor tail of it. the barrister scrubbed
something equally undecipherable
upon half.sheet Of note paper, and
passed It up to the judge. Sir George
looked annoyed, and when the court
rose, said to his friend: what do
you mean by this? ! asked you to
come and dine with me tonight"

piled that ! should be extremely glad

$4,000 of these were cavalry. This
means that the three Austrian corps
stationed in Galicia, or a little less
than 100000 combatants, with nine d.
visions of cavalry, about $4,000, have
gone into Russia, but just where is
left to the imagination.
Six corps. three German and three
Austrian, and from $4,000 to 10000
cavalry are probably advancing to-
wards Brest-Litovosk. BY the time
these arrive there it is difficult to see
how the Russians can have more than
three full corps and 10000 to 10000
cavalry. Austrian troops have ad-
vanced along the eastern frontier that
is just north of Roumania.
1t seems probable that on the
French frontier at the present time
Germany has nine corps of the active
army, assisted by one Austrian corps
on the German extreme left, near the
Swiss border. There probably are
nine more corps of the first reserve
and nine more Of the second reserve
also on the French frontier, which
with all their auxiliaries amount to
well over 100000 fighting men.
1t appears that If these million Ger.
mans care to remain on the defensive
ON the French border 1t will take a
pretty goodly number of attackers to
get them out of their intrenchments. If
they ever can do It. Providing Aus
tria and Germany are directing their
main attack against Russia, France to
reap any advantage must strike quick
ly and hard on q line as short, in mil.
itary way, as possible toward the Kiel
canal.

Germany, on the other hand. must
protect her French border and the

Russia as fast as possible.
The question now presented to Ger

march or line of operations directed
on Berlin would involve a defeat Of
the German main army and such
great penetration Of German territory
probably would paralyze the defense
the distance is 400 miles. Every
mile will be bitterly contested and
every miles means thousand of lives
and millions Of money.
kiel Canal Big Factor.
The Kiel canal Is the deciding fac
tor In the control of the sea. 1t is 800
miles from Namur. Many of Germany's
great supply points are in the interval
between. An advance on this line
would be near the sea, where England
could help with her ships. Once the
Kiel canal is captured humiliation of
the German feet might result, which
would give command of the Baltic sea
to France and her allies and allow the
unrestricted transport Of Russian
troops and material of war to the
north German coast.
It therefore would appear that the
strategy of France will aim at the cap
ture of the Kiel canal, because it is
the most important point strategically
which Germany possesses. BY this
line of action France would utilize to
the utmost England's great sea power.
In addition, by direct invasion in
the direction Of the Kiel canal France
would cover Paris and her communt
cations better than by any other route.
An advance via Mulhausen and Stras-
burg would be extremely dangerous
and Just what the Germans would like
to see France do. Hence we see why
