has many advantages in terrain such
as that presented by western Europe.

tailed by the strategical offensive is de-
termined not only by the extent of the
resistance met. but by the character Of
the terrain TO be traversed and the dis
lance of the objective from the base.
The terrain presented by modern
France and Germany, with their good
roads and railroads, is very different
from that traversed by Napoleon and

ferred to-
Under the present military status
Germany and Austria must either fur
nish a containing force against France
and concentrate all available military
strength against Russia or they must
do as Frederick the Great did and de
vote all their military resources to
overcoming the French opposition,
Against the Russians they would leave
only sufficient forces to delay their adj
vance on Berlin or Vienna until the
French campaign could be finished. 1t
seems to be the consensus of opinion
of military men that the German-Aus-
trian allies will follow this last plan
Whichever plan they may adopt says
the writer in the Sun. they must act
on the aggressive and push the cam.
paign hard in order TO overcome their
opponents in detail before they can
unite their military forces.

nations were represented at the opening
session, today, in the Central Public Ii
brary of Blackpool, of the ninth cong.
ress Of the International Federation of
Textile Workers association. Among
the various important subjects for dis
sion, the liveliest interest probably will
be conferred in the question of whether
the Industrial Workers of the World
are elegible to affiliation with the In
formation Federation in the same way
as the American Federation of Labor.
Some Of the more conservative unions
are strongly opposed to admitting the
III. w. w. on account of its avowed pol
| icy of syndicalism. There is also sharp
division of opinion on the question OF
raising the legal school age of children
On the continent, most of the unions
aim at restricting child labor, instead
of defending it, as is done by the cot
ton workers organization in Great
Britain. The Congress is expected t.
protest vigorously against the excessiv,
and continually increasing expenditure
for armamonts and to declare for inter
national arbitration. During the latte
