ENGLISH WAR OFFICE
DENIES DUMDUM USE
Declares Her Accuser, Germany, Has
Been Using Soft-Core Thin-Jacket'
Expanding Bullets.

LONDON, November 1S.-The war OIL
fice has issued a statement denying
German allegations that the BRUSH
troops have used dumdum or solt-
nosed bullets, but maintaining that
these kinds of missiles have been USED
by the Germans.
The statement describes the BRUSH
and German service ammunition as
very similar, the bullets being pointed
with steel and the envelope coated with
cupro- nickel, covering the core except
at the base and conforming with the
provisions of The Hague convention.
In the opinion of Sir Victor Horsley, a
well known surgeon. this bullet is
''probabl the most humane projectile
yet DEVISED for the reason that the
long, solid point, consisting almost en-
tirely of a hard nickel sheath, pre-
| cludes as far as possible any tendency
| toward reformation of shape, while the
| strength of the sheath prevents the
! bullet breaking up into fragments ex-
cept in very exceptional circum-
| Stances
! The statement concludes: There is,
| however, clear evidence that Germany
| has not confined herself solely to the
| use of this unobjectionablea ammunition
| Her troops in both Togoland and
| France have been proved to have used
| envelope not entirely covering the core
which type of bullet is expanding and
| is expressly prohibited by The Hague
convention.

Of Prussia. That coalition, formed
after the war with Denmark, took the
place of the German Confederation,
and comprised Hanover, Hesse-Cassel,
Nassau, Frankfort and other provin-
ces under the domination of the king
of Prussia. The North German Con-
federation was able to throw into the
field an army of 100000 men imme
Giately.
To the chagrin of France, the south
ern German states also came to the
assistance of Prussia, and each sent
troops to swell the army. At the out
set of the war the Germans were able
to oppose France with upwards of
100000 men.
Against these vast forces, France,
to her surprise and alarm, was en-
abled to mobilize an initial armv of
only 100000 men. Napoleon's eyes
were quickly opened and he saw the
desperateness of his position. The en-
peror had supposed that the French
army was on a war footing, and that,
with the reserves, more than half a
million men could be put in the field.
His minister of war had informed him
that the French army was prepared
for war "down to the last button on
the private soldiers coat" How far
this was from truth was quickly
shown.
Of the three initial armies formed
by Germany, the first, under General
Won Steinmetz, was placed near
Treves; the second, under Prince
Frederick Charles, was sent to the
Rhenish Palatinate; the third, under
the crown prince of Prussia, took uo
its position on the frontier of Baden.
These armies consisted of about 45O.-
600 men. Subsequently Germany
placed fourth army in the field,
under General Vogel Won Falkenstein.
which raised the total to $4,000, and
later fifth army was raised, under
General Won Bittenfeld This. with
additions to the other armies, brought
Germany's fighting force up to near
| ly 100000.
The French army was divided into
SIX corps, under Marshals MacMahon
and Bazainc, and Generals Frossard,
Ladmirault, Felix Douay and De
Fallly. The French reserves were in
even worse condition than the regular
army, but Emperor Napoleon man.

FRANCO-PRUSSIAN
WAR OF 1901
(By Herbert Temple)
european manager of the Interna-
tional News Service)

Wy lSllipASJ
European manager of the Interna-
tional News Service)
(Second Installment)
At its first stage, the Franco-Prus-
sian war affords striking parallels OF
the War of 1914. AS in the pres
ent crisis, England did all in her pow
er to avert hostilities. Earl Gran
7ille, the British foreign minister, Of
fered England's good offices to France
and Germany then, just as Sir Ed
ward Grey, foreign secretary, did at
the beginning of the present hostili-
ties. England urged that the matter
be submitted to council of the pow
crs. AS in this case, Napoleon and
King William of Prussia rejected the
offer.
In 1870 France made the same mis-
take that Austro-Hungary made when
she declared war against Servia.
France thought she would fight Prus-
sia alone, and confidently believed
that the southern German states would
remain aloof and refuse to fight
against her. The editorials in the
inspired Austrian newspapers at the
beginning of the present conflict in
dicate clearly that the Dual Monarchy
was certain no other powers would
JOIN Servia, and that there was no
danger in a general way. In 1870
France had rude and sad awakening
from her dream. Will Austria have a
similar experience this year?
AS in the present war, mobilization
began before the actual declaration
OF hostilities. Bismarck was as eager
Tor war as was Napoleon, for he
wanted to cement the German states
into an empire, and he saw in sue
cessful war good chance to con.
summate his ambition. To inflame
the Germans Bismarck caused ths
publication Of only such parts of the
French demands as would arouse the
people.
On July Is, four days before the
formal declaration of war, King Will.
ham arrived in Berlin, where he met
Bismarck, Count Won Moltke, uncle
OF the present chief of staff of the
German army, and Room, and orders
were given for the immediate mobili.
zation of three armies.
In the meantime the North German
Confederation came solidly to the aic

der Marshal Canrobert. This brought
the total French fighting force up 10
little more than 350,000 men, who
were scattered over a battle line Of
about one hundred miles in length,
through Strassburg, the Palatinatc,
Metz, st. Avoid, Thionville, Nancy.
Chalons and the fortress Of BeIfort.
These were the positions of the two
opposing armies late in July, almost
The same time of the year when the
present great European war had its
beginning. When King William of
Prussia went to the front to take
personal command of his forces, Count
HeImuth Won Moltke was second i'll
command. A few days after the wal
of 1914 began, dispatches reported
that Kaiser William, son Of William
|, had gone to the front to take per-
sonal command. Count Julius Won
Moltke is his chief of staff.
The first shot Of the Franco-Prus-
sian war was fired at Saarbruck, Au-
gust 2, 1870, when the French un-
Ger General Frossard attacked and
routed the Germans. The result OF
the battle was unimportant strate-
gically. There was slight fighting al
Saarbruck a few days ago.
Two days later, on August 4, the
first serious conflict of the War OF
1870 occurred at Weissenburg, where
the German advance guard was at
tackled by the French under Genera
Douay.
