From Wisdoms font to them's supplied
And that the countryman is lacking

But all the smooth and oily pack

Or rather by the utter lack

And sell them Autographs OF mining,
That in the future cause repining

Convinced that somewhere deep within It.

European War Prospects

E UROPE's great war becomes more and

less chance of a decisive issue as the result
OF single battle or a single campaign The

resist the strain on men. money. supplies and
endurance--and that is not the side of Ger
many and Austria
Since the war started the wastage of men
actually engaged has been at a rate approx
mating 90 per cent. or the 10. $50 900 troops
that Germany and Austria have put into the
field. there have been permanent losses of
5,OoO.OOO and temporary losses of 1850 900
The extension of the Austro- German battle
line, the inauguration of new offensive
against an intrenched enemy in Serbia the
revival OF the Russian giant and the allied
offensive in the west make it certain that
the ratio of Teutonic losses will not be
lesscned.

100000 men to their forces the allies have
present available reserves of at least Is 900
600, and can supply each year new soldiers
to the number OF 2,S5O,OOO
1T Is true that the allied reserve is not
made up of trained soldiers. There are mil
