Available Men Are Known.

"Now, with the Austrians and Ger
mans there is definite. known maxi
mum number of men available. 1t may
be great as you please, but 1t is
fixed. Every German killed. perma-
nently disabled or taken prisoner is
one available German less. That is the
key to the whole situation; 1t is
problem in subtraction. So long the
ceeded in crushing Russia the process
of subtraction goes on indefinitely.
Extending their line only hastens the
inevitable end. because 1t increases the
number of men essential merely to
hold the line.
so on the German side you have two
cardinal elements of the situation.
tory-a price paid in me nand strength
without definite, concrete result, and
an ever-increasing price to pay in the
necessity for supplying and victualing
an Immensely extended line. On the
, Russian side you have two predomf-
| nant elements, neither Of which is an
element of defeat-an unbroken, undis-
coura ged, determined force, and an as
yet scarcely seriously touched reser-
voir of fresh troops.
The same analogy holds true Of the
financial situation of the central en-
pres in relation to the allied powers,
and especially to Russia. Our resources
our borrowing capacity, if you please
are virtually unlimited, because the
security we have to offer is unlimited.
The resources of the central empires
are very limited indeed and do not
| become less so with time.
| 1T is in the knowledge Of this that we
are serene in our conviction of final and
| complete victory.

Germans Digging Themselves In.

The first has patiently failed. The
digging themselves in, as they did in
France. and are preparing to transfer
part of their troops elsewhere. 1t was
a mad thing to attempt. anyhow-you
might as well call it a drive on 1rkuts SIX
as anything else. for all the definite OBJ
jects it may be said to have had.
Pounding at an immense Russian force,
Withdra wing with admirabl order
across the Russian steppes, is like
chasing a will o the wisp through a
swamp-the farther you go the worse
it gets. and the less chance you have
to get out safe and sound. Russia is
like a pillow-you can make a hollow
in it by punching it with your fist, but
when YOU take your fist away, slowly,
inevitably. it comes back
But suppose the fist Is kept there?"
How long do you suppose the Ger
mans can do that? It's simply prob
lem in mathematics. Remember one
thing-the farther an army extends
hold the line. and the farther the line
qured to feed and clothe and supply
it with munitions. And the increase is
in geometric. not arithmetic. progress
sion; while a the same time the proc
ess of extending the line in the face
of a series of daily rearguard actions
itself reduces the effectiveness with
which the movement is made. For there
is no advance without it's price in men
dead, permanently disabled and those
taken prisoner-as well as in the fresh
ness of the troops engaged.

Misunderstood the Russians.

"The second purpose of the German
drive on Russia was to force Russia to
conclude a separate peace. 1t only
shows how the Germans have wholly

as they wholly misunderstood both the
French and the English. They thought
the French were A degenerate people,
who had no fight left in them. Since
the battle of the Marine they have aban-
doned that theory. They thought that
Great Britain was sadly divided, on the

Though lacking sufficient munitions to

technical triumph. For the purpose

MAKING Children Think.

There is no end of discussion as to
what courses of study shall be taken
up by the schools. Different views
are expressed, ranging from the bare
outlines of the old-time three RS" to
the most elaborate idea of culture
study, of more practical forms of
teaching hand work and home arts.
Meanwhile, there is one great essen
tial running for all instruction. That
is, that children he taught to think
things out for themselves. Almost any
course of study is good if this power is
given.-St. Joseph News-Press.
