THE PRICE OF WAR

Russia calls a million sixteenth
century peasants from the fields and
Germany mows them down. Another
million take their place. And yet
another million Of these sixteenth
century peasants. And when it is
all over those who are left will go
back to t. cir fields.
But Germany, France. England,
particularly England and Germany,
where will they turn when the mil
dead are shoveled under the bloody
soil? The bricks and mortar of in
dustry may be still standing, but
where will credit be found? And
what will the millions of starving
factory hands be doing? Happy the
Russian peasant who will go back
to his sixteenth century and his field,
telling the time by the suns shadow.
Industry in Europe with other things
of older date, will lie in ruins.
Armaments have broken the back
of the laborer, and with the fall of
the laborer all things fall, all things
come to earth. Because of the war
lords, and only because of the var
lords, the man of science is paralyz-
ed and civilization stops. Humanity
has been fooled. Too late to dis
cover it.
Remember this, too. Among the
young conscript soldiers of Europe
who will die in thousands, and per-
haps millions, are the very flower of
civilization; we shall destroy brains
which might have discovered for us
in ten or twenty years easements for
the worst human pains and solutions
for the worst of social dangers. We
shall not blot souls out of our COM
mon existence. We shall destroy ut
terly those splendid burning spirits
reaching out to enlighten our dark
ness. Our father destroyed those
strange and valuable creatures
whom we Jailed witches" We are
destroying the brightest of our an
gels.
At least, then, let us not get
drunk. At least, then, let us not
sing boastful songs. Honor may call
us to fight, self-preservation may
force us into the slaughter house;
but let us wear on our sleeves the
crepe of mourning for civilization
that had the promise of joy, and
strike our enemy without a hiccough
or curse. Never shall we known
again what is now perishing. And
we shall want all our strength for

THE FIRST MONTH OF THE WAR

At the opening of the war it was
we'll understood (for a distinguished
German general had written it all
out in a book that the grand
strategy of Germany would be to con-
centrate the flower of her army
against the French, overwhelm and
scatter then in the first two or three
weeks of the war, invest Paris, and
then turn against Russia in an equal
ly swift and crushing onslaught. At
the present writing, with the war
over month in progress, nothing
of the kind has happened. The
French and British armies are intact
and everywhere in touch; they have
fallen back upon the line of forts
and strongly intrenched positions
provided years ago by France to meet
the inevitable German attack; and
for the past three weeks they have
not only presented an impregnable
wall of defense, through which the
Germans have failed break; but in
the rearward movement to the pres
ent position, they have fought a ser
les of defensive battles in selected
and entrenched positions. which, on
the theory that the losses are three
to one against the attacking force,
must have cost the German army al
ready not less than 100000 men in
killed, wounded, and otherwise dis
abled.
The Germans, it is true, have fore
ed back the left wing of the allies;
but they have done this at an enor-
nous military and moral cost. The
military cost has been due to the fact
that here they found themselves OPP
posed by 100000 professional sold
iers, men who, during their seven
years of service with the colors, had
been so thoroughly drilled in practice
at the rife butts, that they were
crack marskmen; which fact, coupled
with the traditional steadiness of
British under fire, enabled them,
against odds of between two and
three to one, to fight a series of de-
fensive actions in selected positions,
rom while they did frightful execu-
ion upon the heavily-massed columns
If the Germans.
To the enormous losses in men en-
allied in this flanking movement, is
o be added the even more serious
moral loss which Germany has incur
ed in bartering her national sense
# honor in exchange for the oppor-
unity presented by the unattended
french Belgian line to rush across
he French border in overwhelming
numbers. France and Germany had

Belgium. That France intended to
tand by her pledge is abundantly
,roved by, the fact that, when Ger

HOW GERMANY PREPARED FOR
WAR
WAR

In order to meet the great demand
for food during such a war as this,
Germany, decades ago, organized a
great system of food and fodder de-
pots throughout the empire, and it is
confidently believed that the food
stores there gathered are in them
selves sufficient to feed all the armed
forces as we'll as the civ;l'ans of Ger
many for an entire year. These gov
crnmental commissary depots a:c
scattered throughout the empire, ana
although it IS we'll known that they
are in the most secure spots and
covered by Notifications, their exact
locations are among the most care
fully guarded military secrets.
Each dep t is composed of a series
of storehouses, usually five in num-
Der. These are filled in rotation at
the rate of one each year, one being
depleted each year in the feeding of
the regular standing army and navy.
1t will be readily seen that under
this system the commissary depots
are at all times filled to at least
four-ffths of their capacity with
grain and other food staples.
Whatever is not required of the an
nual allotment of feed the army and
navy is sold at low fixed rate to
the public. The purchasing of these
immense quantities of foodstuffs is
carried on in simple, methodical
manner. Whenever a farmer is I'M
able to. obtain in the market the
price for his products that he figures
upon, he can get fair, fixed rate
for the from the government and he.
under these circumstances, is never
Obliged to throw his crop on the
market at ruinously low price. He
simply informs the nearest office of
the lntendantur, the imperial COM
missary department, that he has so
much rye, wheat, oats. peas, straw
or whatever staple on hand, and the
lntendantur purchases his goods at
the regular fived rate. Whatever
cannot be obtained in this manner
is purchased in the open market, but
the government takes care that every
year one entire fifth of these stores
is renewed.
In addition to the enormous guam
titles of grains and other non-perish-
able foodstuffs, the government has in
reserve large stores of canned goods
of all sorts used in the regular pro-
visioning of the army. The best
known staple of this kind, and one
of which great stock is kept, is the
famous erbswurst, a compact and
well balance ration, composed of
peas and other vegetables and meat.
dried, pressed and put up in tins.
A portion of this compound put into
quantity of hot water quickly dis
solves and furnishes hearty meal. |
Each soldier in the field carries a
three-days' supply Of this and other
compact food as emergency ration in
his knapsack or saddle bag, and it is
also frequently used at the regular
field mess.-J. w. Van Eyndhoven in
Leslie's.
