 GE RMVAN SUCCESS

Berlin. Jan. 22-There has been pub lisIled in local hewspaper an inter view with Lieutenant General Count Von Moltke, former chief Of stam of the German army. The recital is largely in the form of question and answer, and is as follows:
 The resolve to declare war must have fallen heavily upon Emperor William, z the interviewer asked.
 Striking the table with his fist and otherwise giving evidence of his emo ton. General yon MoItke answered.
 Very heavily, indeed. Do people ever stop to consider how tremendous lis the responsibility Of a conscientious monarch who must pledge the blood of his people? That step a monarch like the Emperor takes only when the life and death of his people is at stake,
 Does Tour Excellency believe that Ipeace soon vii come e2'
 The war can last a. long time yet Our victories in. Poland are of the greatest importance. To the French they are bitterly disappointing, spoil ing their Ahopes Of an advance. The Russian masses have entirely col lapsed. You may be firmly convinced that Germany will not perish; we will be yictorious.s

WAR OPENS NEW
 ROADS TO RICHES

London Jan. 22.-Men Of business with a ready eye to changing eonot- uons have found that wartime of fers many new roads to wealth if the opportunity is seized quickly. Almost every day since the war began alert British manufact1rer or trader has found openings in some new fieId.
 The khaki boom still at it's height. resulted in the sudden establishment of huge factories in heart Of London. Hundreds of young women left good places in the jam and pickle fac tories nearby for the work of making uniforms Tailors, pressers who were glad to earn $1O a week in nor nal times are able to take in three times that sum at present
 A prominent hardware nanufac- tufer in Birmingham put his factory into the hands of a manager at the beginning of the war and hInself hurried to a nearby town and erected a plant for the manufacture of e4u- blems and buttons He has been nnak= ing these novelties in wartime designs by the million at a handsome pr0fit-
 A lithograpf1er found a similar gold mine. by turning his entire plant over to the printing of patriotic picture postcards, while struggling novelty dealer has put his business on it's feet by the sale of a hundred thou sand or more sewing kits for soldiers.
 Lesser successes have been. achfev- ted by the men who have marketed such minor articles for soldiers use as 8 boot-tags pipe lighter, and a patriotic brooch. An AI1ierican traveller at the beginning of tRe Wa1. lchanced to learn that the supply of cheap buttons in England was Hpre- cariously low most of the English supply having been importsd from Austria; he took immense orders ila behalf Of an American firm aE prices presumably we'll above the ordinary.
 The war has brought a moderate degree of prosperity to makers and dealers in foods, clothing, medical supplies, war munitions, and an i'm mense number of small articles re- uuired by land or sea forces ship builders and ship owners have SCOT ed heavily and the British farmer is getting unprecedented prices sfor his products. Even the dentists have had their share Of war business, for it is necessary that the man who is going to the front to serve the king in water-f1lled trenches, should have his teeth in sound shape # he is to enjoy the excursion.

TRAINING IN
 BRITISH SCHOOLS URGED

London, Jan 22-The question of military training in the schools is now live one over all Britain, and the chief agitators are not army men but teachers Lack of proper ma teriaI for officers to take the place of those killed and injured at the front and to supply Kitchener's huge new army and the inadequate1y offic- cred territorial force, is one Of the of the higher schools have been ca1l- ed on for subalterns, as the British Tommy objects to serving under any officer not born a gentleman. The teachers feel that they were in 5a sense to blame for not having given their students some elemental pre- sHminary training further than that of the small student officers corps.
 At meeting of the Incorporated Association of Headmasters in the London .GuildhalI, F. Fl. .Templar said in regard to the New Zealand sys- tenn of universal military training in the schools; While conscription pro duces nilttarism, national training destroys it. The citizen soldier is a man whose every interest is bound up with the maintenance of peace
 Another speaker pointed out that military drill and rifle shooting were Compulsory in the Swiss schools, yet he asked who could accuse the Swiss of mi1itarism.
 $ A resolution declaring that naii- tary training in the schools would save the country from having to inn provise an army in war time by pro- viding a reservoir of partly trained men, was passed with only a few dis senting votes,

London. Jan. 22-In a Mainz news paper the German Socialist leader, pr. David, defines afresh the Social ssts attMude toward the war
 We have been guided by the view that it is our duty to do everything that is in olss power in order to pre- vent the ttreors of defeat from being imposed Don our people in addi- tionaI tls sacrifices of war; he says.
