THOROUGHNESS
OF German Training Of Troops
Fresh Soldiers For
Emergencies.

All over Germany fresh troops are
In training. This has been going on
Tor many months. Every possible
detail OF every possible experience
at the front is gone over and over
and over, time and time and time
again, You may see every phase or
real battle. except, of course, the
actual wounding and killing. in the
country adjoining any one OF the IN
Vulnerable training camps, scattered
throughout the Empire; artillery act
ion, trench fighting, advances in the
open, cavalry work, scouting, manage
ment or supplies, both food and am
munition.-in short, every conceiva-
Die thing that can occur in active
service. Excepting only casualties,
one could take photographs on these
practise fields and in these training
camps. or one could write descriptions
and both photograph and description
would faithfully portray scenes at and
near the battle line. so exactly are
conditions at the front reproduced
The thorouRhness of this training
or the common soldier cannot be put
TOO strongly or too often. When final
ly the recruit is allowed TO 20 to the
scene OF action, he already is a sea
soned soldier, except for the exper-
fence or hearing and feeling hostile
lead and steel. For most OF these
men have had much physical and dis
clpnnary education. Therefore in
these camps at present, the theory OF
warfare Is reduced to practise. the
theory itself being carefully modifiev
by actual experience in the present
war. II Is reasonably safe TO say that
the German soldier Of 1915 will be a
more efficient man than was his com

should be noticed that scholars like
the great theOlogian Harnack. or the
