Another Terrible Cold Weather
Campaign Is Looked For, and
the Fighting Nations Are Exert
ina Themselves to the Utmost.
How the FrenchWomen Are
Doing Their Share.

EATILL there be another winter
~ campaign? This at one time
was the daily question OF
all whom the European war
has affected. Another terrible win
ter campaign! One preferred not to
believe 1t, yet already one Is begin
ming to become accustomed to the idea,
to accept 1t with mute fatalism as n
has accepted so much, says a letter
from Paris.
1t Is now admitted that the Russian
retreat In Galicia and Poland and the
preparations of the English, which VIII
still take considerable time, are the un-
~foreseen factors that will prolong the
war. 1t is known that Italy, with the
probability before it of a "very long
war, has resolved seriously to study
the question of ammunition. 1t Is
also known that at q recent public
meeting an English minister said that
undoubtedly the war would last two
years longer. One cannot hide the fact
that hostilities will last much longer
than France at first supposed. Nat
urally no one has manifested any JOY
at the thought, and many are deeply
panied, but all are prepared coura-
geously to accept the inevitable.
Every department Is working with
feverish haste. Nothing has been over
looked-material. ammunition, food,
clothing. The great gun works at
Creusot have Just opened a new fac
tory In the suburbs Of Paris. Through
out the territory shells are being manu-
featured wherever 1t has been possible
to assemble q few Iathes. A new divt-
sion Of heavy artillery was made some
time ago.
New Implements Of War.
New auto machine guns have been
constructed with two directions, n in
front and one in the rear, making them
twice az easy to handle and twice as
effective. BY loopholes on the sides
rifemen will also be able to get at the
enemy. New explosives and-one may
admit It, as the Germans were the first
to use it-in1ammable gas are under
consideration.
Yet all this is judged insufficient, and
daily the press In vigorous terms calls
for cannon, ammunition, material! The
invader must be crushed beneath an
avalanche Of steel, a deluge OF fire.
The head Of the British war office has
announced that. according to informa-
ton received, the Austro-G Germans are
In position to manufacture 100000
shells a day. One wishes to do better
than this. 1t is not enough to keep up
with the enemy; he must be surpassed.
Only at this price can victory be had.
Army supplies are n Of the chief
preoccupations Of the country. AS
there Is a decrease of 10 per cent In
French cattle. the government has ar
ranged for the purchase. until the end
Of the war or until Dec. 81. 1916. OF
10000 tons a year of refrigerated beef
for the consumption of the army. And
to favor the colonies the government
viii make purchases there for the army
at the rate Of 1900 tons a year till
Dec. 81. 1917.
Fur Lined Boots and Little Stoves.
We are informed that f~arsighted Ger
many has ordered the manufacture Of
2, 1000, 600 fur lined boots and 100000 lit
tie stoves for the troops that wifi pass
the coming winter In the trenches
France will do likewise. Already thou
sands Of trench stoves are prepared
and pyramids Of warm blankets are
ready. Through the streets cars pass
