GERMANS MASS
FORCES WITH The
.AUSTR|ANS ON
~"
THE FRONTIER

TIE Hague, May a. via London, $40
P. M-From information reaching The
Hague it ST understood that the eGr-
mans and Austrians have concentrated
Approximately 6S000 men on the Ital-
ian frontier. They have occupied STRAIT
egic positions in order to meet an at
tack o. attempt to strike the first
heavy blow in an endeavor to dis
hearten the new combatants at the be-
ginning Of the campaign.
Germans constitute the larger part
divisions 70 approximately 10000 men
each. Only 10 of these divisions are
Austrians.
German and Austrian diplomats here
apparently are not perturbed by the
entry into the war of new antagonist.
1t is pointed out in other quarters,
however. that Italy's decision may have
the effect of eurtailing Germany's sup
plies, large quantities Of which hither-
to have reached Germany by way Of
italy and Switzerland.
There is much interest among diplo-
mats in regard to the attitude of Ru-
mania and the other Balkan states.
The general opinion is that Rumania
will not join the war for some time,
arms with the allies together with Bull
garia. This view is strengthened by
the understanding that Austria and
Germany are not inclined to satisfy the
territorial aspirations Of these nations.

Yes. I am very much interested in preachers
of this sort.
If | could afford it, [ would send them
around the world Oh tour of inspection,
SO that they could see for themselves the pal
aces the foreign missionaries live in, and the
magnificent schools and hospitals that we
maintain for the heather.
| would like, also, to show such preachers
as the Plainville pastor, some of the lady
missionaries who are paid 5000 a year for
having babies, and who get another 500
year for each baby.
How much does the wife of the Plainsville
preacher get?
Who pays her anything for the pains Of
motherhood?
Does the Home Mission Board allow her
500 wear to raise her babies on?
If not, why not?
If she and her husband should go to China
as missionaries, the Foreign Mission Board
would furnish them free of rent, a fine house
to live in, and pay them 81 200 year.
How does that compare with the salary
the pastor gets now?
Besides the fine house and the 81 200, they
would draw pay for their children, eighteen
gears, at the rate of 500 child, for ten
years, after that and up to eighteen years,
the pay for the children would be $3.50
apiece
Did the Plainville pastor refer to this
clover patch feature Of the foreign missions
system?
If he did not, why did he skip it?
] mean to write to DR.. Smith and ask him
to tell us how many child-bearing women
are on the pay roll, how many missionary
children are drawing their sweet little hun
dred dollars a year?
My question won't make the PlainsvilIe
pastor any madden than he is already, and
we might as well have the facts.
