AS between France and Germany
apart from the latter's superior war
footing, the total Of the fully trained
reserves in the Fatherland would be
the most potent factor in a prolonged
struggle and also the justification for
a vigorous initiative despite early
heavy losses. Both Germany and
France have in the last two years in
creased the period Of service from
two to three years. In France this
frightening Of the term with the col
ors aroused a great deal Of opposition,
not to say discomfort.
Immediately back of these soldiers
are the first reserves, men who but
recently have finished their full tours
Of active service and Of course are
familiar with the latest practices. Now
look at the foregoing figures. Ger
Saany's peace footing is only 1885
men stronger than that Of France, but
upon the first call to arms this moder-
ate superiority Immediately jumps to
the greater figure Of 144,203, giving the
kaiser al advantage of nearly 21 per
cent. But this is only the beginning
Of the difference.
Germany's total reserve of fully
trained Nreserves-men trained with
peculiar thoroughness-is today quite
100000, while the admittedly less ex-
actingly drilled reserves of France
number but 3,25O,O00 rank and file.
Here, as can plainly be seen, the Fa-
therland leads by 1,750, 00O--two and q.
half times the war footing Of France,
while still having in reserve as many
as France would have at best.

London.-A Rome dispatch says the
Messagero publishes a message from
Basel, Switzerland, stating that two
German infantry regiments were an
initiated in the battle with the French
troops at Mulhausen.
The German regiments mentioned
are the Eighth Baden Infantry, num-
bering 1863, which was stationed at
Lair, in Baden, and the Fourth
Prince Williams Baden Infantry,
numbering 112, stationed at Null
hansen.
The commander Of the Twenty
ninth division, attached to the Four
teenth Army Corps, whose headquart-
ers We're at Frieburg, is said to have
been killed.
Another dispatch from Rome says

telegram from the frontier, stating
that an Austrian cavalry brigade has
been exterminated on the Austro-
Russian frontier. ...f..-
The Austrian cavalrymen are said
to have attacked the Cossacks, who

ground and shot down until not a man

DEMANDS IGNORED, FRANCE
DECLARES WAR ON AUSTRIA

Paris.-France declared war on Aus
tria, following the failure of the Aus
trian government to make satisfactory
explanations of the movement of Aus
trian troops from the Tyrol through
Switzerland to the French border.
When the explanation was not forth
coming at the expiration of the time
set, the foreign office handed his
passports to the Austrian ambassador
and at the same time the French am
bassador at Vienna asked the Austrian
foreign office for his passports and
received them. The French ambassa.
dor left Vienna immediately.
The French foreign office made the
following statement:
Contrary to given by
Austria to the French minister of for
eign affairs that no Austrian troops
We're taking part in the Franco-Ger-
man war, the French government has
ascertained beyound any possible
doubt that certain Austrian troops are
are at present in Germany, outside the
Austrian frontier. These troops, which
have set free certain German troops
destined to be employed in fighting
the French, ought, individually de fac
to and de jure, to be considered as
acting against France. In these cir
cumstances the French ambassador
was ordered to leave Vienna.
THE Austrian ambassador at Paris,
on being informed of Frances decision
asked for his passports"
1t is presumed that Germany and
Austria will now try to bring Italy in
to wal under the German-Austrian in
trepretation of the treaties by which
Italy became a member of the triple
alliance. France, however, while TAX.
ing the initiative in a declaration of
war, acted only after her frontier was
threatened by Austrian troops.
Italy, it is believed, may take the
position that it was Austria, through
the movement of her troops, which
assumed the offensive and that
frances declaration of war was only
only a defensive measure Of an Aus
trian attack.
Ii the Italian government, which SO
far has refused resolutely to be drawn
into the conflict, takes this position,
it Is assumed that she will repeat her
statements of neutrality.

do you know that the contending
armies in Europe today are battling
upon their peace time f~ootings?" asked
a colonel on the general staff of the
United States army. And don't for
get that the nation that gets it's fight
ing force up to its full war strength
first will gain a material advantage in
the present turmoil"
This means that any hasty deduc-
tons made upon the basis Of fights
won and lost up to date may soon
prove absolutely misleading.
The question then arises: Which of
the struggling armies can reach it's
wal strength soonest, and, with that
attained, what are its chances for
maintaining that standing in the CRU
cling days to come? The answer is
a matter of administrative efficiency
first, and then follows naturally the
relative merits of the reserve material
upon which the nation can draw as
battle after battle and disease thin
the ranks of those in the field. At
present the Germans are virtually
fighting alone four other nations, but
their initial setbacks are not properly
a true index Of what is to come in the
near future.
