now at the outset It will not be for
lack of the most perfect equipment
that the work of a quarter Of a cen
fury has been able to devise.
Commenting on yesterdays reports
OF the advance on Grey, military ex-
perts expressed the opinion that If the
advance is the actual beginning of an
invasion of French territory the pur-
pose of the German stan is to make q
desperate attempt TO crush through
the French lines Of defense before
they can be fully formed and organ
lied and make a lightning-like cam
paign against Paris.
It is believed here that the German
idea is that this can be done before
Frances ally, Russia, can actually MI
Billie.
Then the Germans also are counting
on their allies. the Austrians, to wcrTy
the Russians sufficiently to delay a
really dangerous attack from the east,
for il is not believed that the small
Servian army can completely absorb
the latent offensive powers of the Aug
[: ians.
The impression prevails among the
experts that in the beginning NJ least,
neither Great Britain nor italy will
figure greatly in the military prob
lem. even If they declare war, and that
the British fleet will be fully occupied
in keeping the German ships of war
sealed up at Kiel.

KAISER REPEATING
CAMPAIGN OF 1870
q. S. Army Men Consider Pres
ent Advance of Germans
Like Former War.
QUICK DASH FOR PARIS
But Soldiers OF France Are Reported
Now 70 Be Equals of the
Invading Forces.

Washington. Aug. 4.-Developments
In the German campaign against France
impress the army general staff here
with the similarity OF the German ad-
vance as recorded in yesterdays dis
patches to the move made exactly ~
years ago at the beginning of the
Frsnco-Prussian war.
There Is this important difference
that then IL was the great second army
corps OF France which took the ihi-
tiative, crossing the border to attack
the Germans at Saarbrucken only 10
receive a stunning check.
BY a singular coincidence II was on
Aug. ? that the battle OF Saarbrucken
took place.
II was followed by the withdrawal
Metz, where il WIS shut up for many
months, only to be obliged in the end
TO capItulate to the German forces.
The fact that the German staff has
chosen again to strike at France in
the very same place where the victor
ious campaign OF 1870 was initiated
has led the experts here to the con-
clusion that il is Germany's intention
20 repeat closely the strategic move
ments which were crowned with the
capture of the French capital eight
months later.
But the observers here are doubtful
of the success of such a plan at pres
ent The French army is very differ
ent fighting instrument from the III
organized and insufi ciently equipped
force which went out to defeat A years
ago.
In artillery alone It is said the French
are greatly superior TO the Germans,
and while the levies are perhaps not
as well set up and smart in appearance
as the Teutonic soldiers, 1t was said
by q member OF the general staf who
had personally visited both armies
within the last year the men under the
tricoIor were possessed Of a certain
loosejointed activity that promised to
make them most formidable foes.

REVENUE CUTTER
SERVICE ACTIVE
Officers Are Empowered to En-
force Every Law Bearing
on Maritime interests.

One hundred and twenty-four years
ago today George Washington signed
the congressional act which establish
ed the United States revenue cutter
tservice. It thus became the first mari
time force of the American republic.
Fifteen months later there were ten
revenue cutters afloat, offered by vet
Grams of the old continental navy.
These vessels constituted the only
armed force afioat belonging to the
United States for the following six
years. Their duties were to patrol the
coast, extending in those days from
Maine to Georgia, to prevent SNUG
Cling, and to enforce the few mari
time laws existing in the United
States. Organized under the treas
ury department, it remained in the
discretion of the president to send
them to war under the navy. Fighting
French privateers in 1898, the revenue
cutters captured Is Of the % prizes
taken by the United States. In the
war of 1912 they captured the first
prize ship, and fought gallantly
throughout the war. They fought in
the Mexican war, one of the cutters
accompanied the naval expedition
against Paraguay in 1858. During the
Civil war they fought with the navy
and helped to maintain the blockade
of southern ports. In the Spanish
American war, a revenue cutter &C
companied Dewey into Manila bay.
while the crew of another won con-
gressional medals for its spectacular
rescue of Ensign Bagley's helpless
torpedo boat at Cardenas, Cuba.
Today 43 armed cutters, tugs and
launches, manned by 1,72S officers and
enlisted men, are securing the seas
as Uncle Sans "watchdogs of the
sea" The majority are stationed
along the coast of the United States
ready to steam where duty calls. One
may be going to sea to blow up a de-
relict that has become dangerous to
navigation; another seaching a ship
for smuggled goods or examining her
sailing papers; while third may be
on the way to suppress mutiny or
piracy, or to enforce neutrality laws
of American ports. The revenue cut !
ter officer is empowered to enforce |
nearly every law bearing upon the
maritime interests. They protect the |
the coast in search of vessels in dis |
tress during the winter months. Under |
a recent regulation they patrol the |
lane of travel to warn !
all vessels of any nation of the danger |
of floating icebergs, such as the one
that sank the Titanic. They enforce
quarantine regulations; they patroled |
the coasts of four southern states /
which were suffering under an cpl
demic of yellow fever in 1905. They /
penetrate to the Arctic regions to
bring succor to stranded whaling
ships 1t was in 1879 that cutter
raced through a thousand miles of
ice packs to rescue whalers frozen in
at Point Barrow before they starved
to death. For this exploit, congress
passed a resolution of thanks.

leaving the smaller unions, which "a

the men are revolving against the old

men refused terms agreed upon by
their leaders.
John S. Sargent has declined hand.
some commission to paint a portrait OF
Victor ]. Dofling for the Manhattan
club of New York and has reafirmed
his decision not to paint any more
portraits. To John w Cox, who made
the offer to Mr.. Sargent on behalf Of
the Manhattan club, the eminent paint
er said the portrait of Henry James,
which was damaged by suffragets willis
on exhibition at the Royal Academy,
was painted in accordance with an old
promise, otherwise he would not have
attempted even that one after making
his announcement that he was done
with portrait painting.
Mr.. Sargent is now devoting himself

Berlin, Aug. 4.-Tips make up the
sole wage of the unskillsd employees
of more than so per cent of 706 Ger
man hotels according to an investiga-
ton just completed by the Association
of Hotel Servants. The highest wage
paid is S11 monthly, and the total ex-
penditures required of the employees
mores than equal their fixed wage.
Only 9.5 per cent of the servants in
the hotels investigated have less than
100 hours of work weekly, while ~
per cent work from 400 to 112 hours,
and eight per cent have at least IS
hours work a day. Twelve per cent
have no day of rest whatever, and less

month.
