SLAvs THINK KAISER INSANE
What Rational Monarch, Asks News

the Rest Of the World?

AS the momentous events of the
world unfold the conviction grows in
the minds Of men that Kaiser Wilhelm
is insane, obsessed with a war mania,
says the Narodni Glas. a Slav News
paper printed in Chicago. What ra-

Mes Great Britain. inviting reprisals

Mankind is slowly and stupidly

ABOUT CzAR'S ARMY
Military Service in Russia Is Uni
versaI and Compulsory.
Field Force Of Empire in Europe Com
prises Twenty-seven Corps, With
1893 5attalions, e42 Squad
rons and 497 Batteries.

Russia has an extensive frontier
both by sea and land, protected by nu-
merous Notifications Of various
classes. On the west Poland is defend
ed by system of four strongholds,
sometimes called the Polish quadrilat-
eral. The more important fortresses
and forts include Warsaw, Kronstadt,
Sveaborg, Lbau and Vladivostok.
Military service in Russia is uni
versal and compulsory. Service be-
gins at the age of twenty and extends
to the completion of the forty-third
year. Owing to the extent of the en-
pire, there are three armies, known as
the army of European Russia, the army
OF the Caucasus and the Asiatic army.
These armies are practically distinct
and the terms of service in each are
slightly different
Speaking generally, service in the
first line or active army is for three
years in the infantry. field and foot, ar
tillery, and for four years in the other
arms. The soldier is then transferred
to the reserves (zapas). Having COM
pleted eighteen years in the first line
and its reserves, the soldier passes
to the "opolchenie" to serve five years.
The Cossacks, occupying the south
western portion OF European Russia,
hold their lands by military tenure and
are liable to service for life. The Cos
sacks proper troops are almost en-
tirely mounted.
A Russian division consists of two
brigades of two regiments To each
is attached an artillery brigade, an en-
gineer battalion and two or three
squadrons of Cossacks. The normal
army corps has two divisions, a how
itzer division and sometimes cav
airy division. The fighting strength
of an army corps is $4,000 men with
out cavalry. or 10000 with cavalry.
The field army of European Russia
consists OF twenty-seven army corps.
All told, the army of Russia in Europe
comprises 1,O3s battalions. 642 squad
rons, and 497 batteries. In 1913 Rus
STA had only one dirigible.
The field army In the Caucasus
consists OF three army corps and four
cavalry divisions.
In the Asiatic army there are five
brigades, which mobilize as the First
and Second Turkestan army corps.
Each has a Turkestan artillery bri-
gade. The largest part of the Asiatic
army is in East Siberia. Since the
Russo-Japanese war the East Siberian
forces have been increased. They
would mobilize as five Siberian army
corps instead Of three, as formerly.
The peace strength of the armies Of
Russia is over 100000 Of all ranks.
The Asiatic army would mobilize
about 100000 men. The grand total
OF Russian armies, therefore, is about
1,850,000 men. The Russian infantry
is armed with the "three-line" rifle.

The most important Russian feet is

DARK DAYS OF 1870
ranco-Prussian War One Of
SWiftest in History.
How the Germans Overwhelmed the
French Armies and Captured Paris
After Long Siege and Des-
perate Defense.

For as years the guiding principle
of French craftsmanship has been en-
bodied in the maxim that Germany's
extremity would be Frances opportu-
nifty. Has that hour come? Events
seem to show that France believes it
has.
The German empire and the French
republic were born together in the
smoke and flame of the terrible battle
of Sedan. There the French empire
went down with the fortunes of the
last Napoleon. and there the mighty
Bismarck laid the steps Of the kaiser's
throne.
The Franco-Prussian war of 1870 was
one of the most swift and terrible in
history. By rapid and simultaneous
movements the Prussians crumpled
the two wings of the French army
modified on the Alsatian frontier, de-
feating them in the sanguinary battles
of Weissenburg, Worth and Spichern.
Marshal Mcmahon and Marshal Ba
zaine, commanding the two French
armies, attempted to form a junction
and retreat to the Moselle, but Prince
Frederick Charles, commanding the
Prussian advance, defeated the exc
cution of the plan and drove Bazaine
back upon Gravelotte where, on Au-
gust IS, 1870, took place the decisive
battle of that name, the second only
OF Importance in the war. The Prus.
SLAMS had 100000 men and the French
10000. In nine hours of carnage in
which the Germans lost 10000 men
and the French 10000, Bazaine was
utterly routed and forced back upon
Metz, where he was quickly sur
rounded and bottled up by the victori-
GUS Prussians.
With Bazaine shut up within his for
tifications and Mcmahon held in check

upon Paris. Napoleon III, who had re-
NAMED in his capital confidently ex.

had invested Berlin, hurriedly appoint.
ed as regent the Empress Eugene
(the same who now, an aged woman,
is living out her sorrowful years in
English exile), raised a fresh army
and set out relieve Bazaine. Joining
Mcmahon the emperor met the ad-
vancing Prussian hosts at Sedan,
where on September 2, only A days
after the declaration or war, was
fought the Waterloo of the second
French empire. The emperor was over
whelmingly defeated and personally
surrendered with his entire army OF
SO 900 men.
Two days after the disaster at Sc
dan the republic was proclaimed, and
on September 10 the Prussians had in.
vested Paris and the siege began The
history of that siege is a separate
phase Of the war. To it belong the
terrible scenes of the Commune, the

cIogging the Rivers.


Army engineers who have been
making observations in the flood dis
tricts in Ohio are of the opinion that
one cause of the recent disasters is
the clogging of the rivers with bridg-
es and the encroachment of cities ON
the river channels. Commenting on
this the Columbus Dispatch says:
Bridges have been built with a
view to economy of approach and
sometimes with more attention to
beauty than safety. A long fill at
either end makes a shorter bridge,
and piers with arched spaces have
their element of beauty. But of
what account are the saving and the
beauty, if all is to be swept away in
the first flood? The stream that
looks so insignificant during the
building operation may at any time
rise in mighty protest and demon
strate the superior power of natures
forces. That is what happened all
along the streams swollen by the
March rains. The theft of land
from the river channel is another
form of the same folly. Land thus
got seems valuable, but it is really
valuable only as it is safe, and engi-
neering science has as yet failed to
find safety for the man who builds
his house in the path Of a stream. 4"
