How Long Will
Great War Last?
Paris Saved by Automobiles, Accord.
ing to international News Cor
respondent, in Paris.

An international correspondent OF
the Associated Press, writing from
Belgium, quotes one of the great Bel
but little real impression has been
made against the Germans, further
than to check their advance upon
Paris. To n of the correspondents
questions as to how long he thought
the war would last, the Belgian is
reported to have said: H.,
World Must Fight Germany.
my friend, the duration of the
wal depends entirely on the forces
which the whole world will be able TO
bring to bear against Germany. Let
us not lose sight of the fact that it
all our powers, to hold the enemy in
check, and today, the Germans are
still on foreign soil One mistake on
our part could have the most fatal
results. We need men and men,
hundreds of thousands of them, to
conquer Germany, because, remem.
Der well that they realize that this
war will mean the end of their me-
dieaval system. They will never sur
render, but fight to the last man.
Prepared for Thirty Years.
"Do not let us be deceived by re-
ports that Germany will lose this war
IN economic grounds, because such
reports are beside the facts. She has
prepared for this war for the last
thirty years. I have information that
there are enough foodstuffs in Ger
many today to feed an army of 2,000,-
00O. for five years. We know that the
Krupp \stores of ammunition hav3

they manufacture from day to day

Saved by Automobiles.
| Another correspondent OF the In
ternational News states that the
opinion about Paris is general that
automobiles saved the city from fall
ing into the hands of the Germans.
General Gallieni had 400 taxicabs
and other light motor cars at his dis
posal. 1t will be remembered that
Won Kluck, with the right Of the Ger
man army, got as for as %champiley.
General Gallieni. as military governor
of Paris, had a large force, probably
half a million men, at his disposal,
and he was responsible for the de-
tense of Paris.
GaiIieni Saves Paris
Gallieni figured that he had more
men than he really needed and that
10000 of his men could be spared for
work at the front.
Acting entirely upon his own re-
sponsibility, he ordered his men to
crowd into automobiles. He made
each taxicab carry nine soldiers. 1t
was a curious sight, two on the hood,
one with the driver and n on each
running board.
Whiting six hours he threw the
whole 10000 against the flank OF the
Germans at Meaux, about 35 miles
from Paris. Won Kluck evidently
had not reckoned with such a sortie,
He was forced to stop and give bat
tie. The result was the retraet Of
the Germans from Marine to the Aisne
after the sanguinary battle named
from the first river,
This is only one Of the great ex:
ploits of the French army automobile
transport service. No other nation i.
this war has used the motor car with
the effectiveness of the French.
