Illustrative of the military eficien- cy of Germany. Prof Robert M. John ston of Harvard University says 1t requires nine men to the yard on .Germany's offensive. whereas England needs thirty. The number that the United States would require it is im- possible to estimate, but 1t would be more than 50. Germany spends on each man S150 Q day; England ex- bends about S5, and the United States would find it necessary to spend at least s6.

The editorial says: "The war continues indefinitely because both parties fear to place the limits to their demands and speak them out for fear that the announcement of the object for which they are fighting will be interpreted as a sign of weakness.

LITTLE EXCITEMENT
CAUSED AT DUBUQUE
FROM BANK EPISODE
Temporary Officers to Replace
Men Under Arrest-Cash-
Ter Had Lived High.

Dubuque Ia, Sept 22.--Temporary
appointments have been made in place
of the three officers of the Dubuque
National bank, who were arrested yes
terday, and business is proceeding az
usual. President Myers made Il for
NAL statement to depositors and the
public, giving assurance of the banks
onstration or indication of a run. The
bank is capitalized at 100000 and has
surplus of 100000.
George Homan. Joseph Harrigan
and Charles Seige. cashier, teller and
assistant teller, respectively, will be
brought to trial at the federal court
term here in December on the charge
of misapproprating about 100000 OF
the banks funds.
Harrigan is believed not to have
financially profited. but permitted
favored persons to overdraw their ac-
counts, and to keep the record clear
was forced to juggle the books in vio-
lation of the banking laws. Holman
secured money from the bank on his
personal note, covering up the trans
action by making it appear loans We're
made to responsible persons. 1t was
on the discovery by the examiner of II
technical error in note bearing the
name of a prominent churchman who.
when his attention was called to 1T,
declared he had given no such note,
that developments followed.
Holman, although practically without
resources, had invested in numerous
Dubuque concerns, purchased coun-
try home and lived at a $4,000 pace.
Seige is n young man. He declares
he took the funds to assist his moth
er, expecting to pay them back. That
he had guilty knowledge of the irreg-
ularitieS for several years is alleged.

KNIFE IS THE BEST WEAPON
Training Of Infantry on the Continent
Hereafter viii Include Hand
to.hand Fighting.

Today the defense stands pat on
earthworks. wire and machine guns.
The attack has tried gas. petrol. bayo-
net. siege artillery, field artillery.
grenades and mines, and has come
out, generally speaking, second best.
Trench mortars have not developed
the requisite accuracy nor the requi-
site destructive power. High.explo-
sive shells in sufficient quantities have
accomplished the best offensive work,
and the infantry is depending more
and more on short. heavy knife
which is the best for work UNDER
ground or in the dark. To sum up:
killing the DEFENDERS Of position
is accomplished by shells fired at least
two miles away on the average: and.
secondly, by what the French call,
body-to-body fighting, for which a
knife is the best weapon. The train
ing Of infantry on the continent WILL
In the future, undoubtedly include the
technique of hand-to.hand struggles
for which physical agility and strength
must be developed.-New Republic.

ton circles that Mr.. Bryan will use his
wide influence in congress to oppose
the presidents national defense pro-

outline his plans to Mr.. Bryan and
hat they would be of such nature
rs to command the support Of the noted
paciticist and thus put the united
strength of the democratic party be-
lind them.
