something like this: Adolphus Busch,
the famous ST. Louis brewer made his
money in st. Louis, but when it came
to a matter of livi2g there he protested,

at a California watering place. So

The smile is this: keokuk serves up
more power than any other city in the

comes to a matter of getting factories

Yet Keokuk is not the only town in
the universe that is holding the sack
and there's a deal of satisfaction II

GERMANY'S
MILITARY MACHINE
y Henry Hyde in Chicago Tribune

BY Henry Hyde in Chicago Tribune.
What is going on behind the fog
which shut down over Europe when
the German emperor declared war on
Russia?
What has happened since the gov
eminent seized the telegraph capie
lines and cut the continent from the
rest of the world?
What is concealed by the thick ven
of secrecy and silence? /.
1t is possible to get some idea OF
what has taken place In Germany, AT
least, where war has been made the
most highly organized business in the
world.
Picture, in the first place. a little
country, only three-quarterS as large
as the single state of Texas. Pack into
that small territory 65,o0o,0o0 people;
If all the inhabitants of the United
States were damned into Texas. the
crowding would be only q little more
dense.
Out from the war office in Berlin to
army depots all over the country goes
the order calling the men of the first
army reserve to the colors. That means
that 100000 young men, from " to ~
years old, must instantly stop their
work. lay dow their tools, quit their
families and report at a given hour
and at a given place for active duty
under arms. r.
$4,000 Ready in Peace.
Already, on a peace footing, there
are $4,000 men in the barracks. The
men of the first reserve, all of whom
nave had at least two a of military
training. will bring the number up to
nearly 1,250.Oo0 trained soldiers.
On the same day cards of a different
color have been sent out all over the
empire calling to the army depots the
600, 900 additional men of the landwehr,
or second line army. They range In
age from 81 to 80 years and are also
men who have a thorough military
training.
Here are already 1920, 900 trained
soldiers ready for action, and Of the
total number not more than n or two
in 1000 are unable to read or write.
In case of great emergency, such as
the present, orders also will be issued
for the mobilizing of the landsturm,
or home guard, consisting of all former
soldiers between the ages of 80 and 40.
Business Gives Way.
Business-except h great business
of war-will have already largely
not only the telegraph and cable lines.
but it has taken possession also of all
the railroad lines. Ordinary freight
and passenger service is entirely dis
continued. The usual train schedule is
simply thrown away. In its stead u
schedule of war trains, carefully pre-
pared and ready in the war office, is
put into effect.
After an army is modified it must
concentrate as quickly as possible at
the points from which it can most
speedily strike a crushing blow at the
enemy. How quickly that may be de-
ponds entirely on how rapidly troop
and supply trains car be run over the

railroad ines in the desired direction.
There is no business problem SO diff
ficult and complex as that of mob1l1z-
ing and moving an army of 100000 or
1000, 900 men. with the possible fate Of
an empire depending on the saving of
"a hours in the process.
And not the men alone must he gath
cred n transported. First OF all the
companies must be gathered into bat
talions, the battalions into regiments,
the regiments into b%rigades, and the
brigades into army corps. On a war
footing the German army contains 25
army corps, each with an enrolment
of about $4,000 men.
Supplies Go Along.
Accompanying each little unit must
go, on the supply trains, the proper
amount of ammunition, of food and
clothing, of drugs n surgical appli-
anceS. There nus be for each brigade
the established proportion of cavalry,
the right number of field guns, horses
and supply wagons, automobiles, BIZ
cycles, motorcycles, ambulances, flying
machine, wireless telegraph apparatus,
field telephones, all the immense guam
tlty of mechanism n machinery
without which a modern army is al
most helpless.
One imagines that for the last few
days every one of the IL. 000, 900 fam
lilies in Germany has been busy with
little else han the tremendous prep
! a%rations for war. All the ordinary BUSH
ness of life has been put aside. Buy
ing n selling has almost stopped.
There is no money to be had. The
hotels are closed. Offices, factories and
workshops are deserted. Grimly the
whole nation has thrown itself into
the fight.
From the wal office have come maps,
not only of their own country, but of
all the territory through which it is
planned to throw invading armies. AL
most as soon as the mobilization be-
gins the troop trains begin ESQ to
move
Deceive the Foe, Is Game.
1t is important to deceive the en-
envy, both as to the destination and
the number of troops entrained. Out
over the gagged telegraph wires leak
rumors-inspired by the war depart
sent in such a direction, when exactly
the opposite, perhaps, is the truth.
Not eve the Germans themselves
know the facts, none but the military
men who are directing operations, and
they, miles away from any possible
firing line. direct by telephone and
telegraph the movement OF the troops.
During the Russo-Japanese war
scores of Russian soldiers wrote home
from their camps in Manchuria beg
ging to be told some news of the war.
Though they were a part of the fight
ing armies they knew nothing of the
progress of the war.
So in Germany and with the world
outside. 1t is part OF military policy
to conceal the facts, to bewilder and
deceive the enemy with false state
ments. Not until some great battle is
fought and won will the cable be al
lowed to speak.
