A WAR OF

There are various predictions as to
the outcome of the big European war,
the sympathies of the individual in
some cases affecting his conclusions,
but a writer in the Review of Reviews
attempts to give a mathematical DEM
o%nstration that indicates the ultimate
success of the British and their allies.
The article says statistics explain
why the Austro-G German allies should
now desire Peace and England and
it's allies resolutely refuse to quit. A
year ago Belgium, Britain, France,
Russia and Serbia had $500, 900 men
in the field, Germany and Austria as
many. These figures approximately
express the force that each belliger-
ent alliance may maintain. To make
losses good and expand the British
army the original allies and Italy
have since put $3.50, 900 men at the
front and have lost 6,7OO, 900, of whom
5000, 900 are lost permanently. The
present field forces of the allies ap-
proximate $780, 900, those of the
Austro-G Germans 4,5O0,OOO. Colonial
and native troops of France and Eng
land are balanced against Turks, and
therefore, both are ~disregarded.
Here, then, is the approximate rate
of expenditure of life the first year.
1t remains to reckon the human re-
sources. When, if expenditure con-
tinues another year at the same rate,
will the supply of life run short?
Not more than a tenth of a popula-
ton can be nut into the field. Ger
many was capable of supplying $780,
600 soldiers, Austria Hungary $780,
000, France 1000, 900. Russia can sup
ply 3,000,0 900 new men annually, Eng
land 1000, 900 more next August. It
and its allies can count on reserves of
1000, 600 men the coming year. Ger
many and Austria on 1900, 900 only.
The German front in France and Bel
GUM cannot be held by fewer than
$500. 900 soldiers, 500, 900 at least will
be needed against Italy and Serbia
and but 100000 remain for facing
Russia.
After August I, 1915, supposing
Germany still holds out, it and Aus
tria can furnish an annual contingent
of 1900 900; England. France and It.
ally 1850 900 at the least and Russia
alone 5000, 900.
That, as the opponents of Germany
and Austria view the situation, tells
the story of attrition. After next
spring Germany can no longer keep
its forces at their present fitness.
About August 1 they will have fallen
to 3,200.O 600, whereas those of the al
lies will have risen to 100000. Be-
fore the winter of 1867 the allies

discoverer, admirer and promoter Of
Woodrow Wilson. who once turned
against his friend, the President, be-
cause he believed Mr.. Wilson had
been ungrateful, but who came recent

truce and a renewal of the old friend:
ship which was heralded from the
~house-tops, appears once more to be

ington Is discussing his latest pro-
nunciamento. The leading editorial
in the April number of Col. Harvey's
Magazine Is a scathing diatribe
against the Hon. %Josephus Daniels,
Secretary of the Navy.
1t is the most delightful an denter-
tanning admixture. of truth and satire
which ever flowed from the facile but
caustic pen of the .redoubtable Colonel.
He evidently resents the injury which,
Daniels is doing to President Wilson's
administration. He says: "If he
(Daniels) has lone a single useful
act. barring his boosted saving at the
spigot while wasting at the bung-hole,
h instance has yet to be revealed.
II he has failed to utilize an opportu-
nifty to discredit both the department
and the administration, the omission
is not apparent" And in conclusion,
says Col. Harve - Is idle then to
murmur ineffecl1- How long, o
Lord, how long!' Naught remains but
to minimize SO far as possible the dis!

TODAY WE CELEBRATE.
German Medical Science Was Founded
by Quacks.


While the Teutons are often de-
scribed as a stolid and unimaginative
people. the scientists OF Germany have
long been noted for their originality
of thought, which has often led them
into grave error by permitting imagi-
nation to outstrip reason. The medi-
cal men of Germany rank high in the
profession, and in many branches of
the healing art they rank as leaders,
but, ore than any other nationality,
they have often permitted their en-
thusiasm to get the better OF their
judgment. The Koch and Friedman
tuberculosis remedies are but two
among thousands of widely heralded,
but now d~iscredited Cures" which
Teuton medical men have orered for
the relief of suffering humanity.
German medical science may be
said to have been founded by the
quacks OF former centuries, for, while
quackery has always f1ourished in all
countries. Germany was long the
leader in turning out practitioners of
often men of Imagination, akin to
genius, and they travelled all over
Europe. A majority of the celebrated
quacks of England were Germans, and
their methods of advertising their
cures" were very similar to those of
the Indian medicine man." who still
flourish in the rural districts of
America.
A %burlesque of these mountebank
doctors entitled "watho Won Clatur-
bank, High German Doctor" was pro-
duced by Joe Haines, the famous Eng
lish actor, and enjoyed a great popu-
larity. The stage setting showed the
doctor" on a stage, with a harlequin
and a man blowing a trumpet to at
tract the crowd. When the prospective
patients have assembled the mounte-
bank introduces himself in language
which might be adopted by the medi-
cal quack of the present as "a high
fracator, native of Arabia Deserta,
citizen and burgomaster OF the city OF
Brandipolis, seventh son of a seventh
son, unborn doctor Of above 60 years
experience"
Having studied over Galen. Hypo-
crates, Albumazar and Paracelsus, I
am now becoming the Esculapius of
the age" modestly confessed the quack
having been educated at II universe
ties, and travelled through SO king
doms, and been counsellor to the coun-
sellers of several monarchs. BY the
earnest prayers OF several lords, earls,
dukes, and honorable personages, I
have been at last prevailed upon to
oblige the world with this notice. That
