let us have a shot at the foe and do
him as much harm as we can with
these men and guns. They plan the
shot first, see that they have the men

not touch a plan which is from the
first plainly beyond their strength.
Thus, they never once tried to
crush our army as a whole. That is
beyond them. Even admitting their
technical superiority and good NUM-
tion supply, they would want. in order
to crush us by one operation. at least
as many men as we have. Their way

Hay Obtained for the Cattle.
Most of the horses in the city had
already been seized by the govern

hay for the cows, which had to be
put in the basement of our old school
building as our small stable was full
We have had such a rainy spring that
the ground was too wet to store goods
outside so we packed the Easements
of our new school buildings from floor
to ceiling with boxes, bedding and
bags of wheat and flour, reserving all
rooms above for the people we knew
would need them.
Before we had dressed Monday we
had had applications for rooms from
half a dozen families and by night
we in our houses had a regular hotel
Of more than seventy people, while
attic, wood room and halls were piled
with goods of every description.
Our family are all together in the
middle bedroom, which is barricaded
by wall of large oil cans filled with
earth. This shuts out most of the
sunlight. but the windows are down
from the top, and with three open
doors we can get good ventilation

our roof, and forty or more bullet

times the air huns with the constant
flying of bullets over and through the
premises, and it is a miracle that so
few have been hurt. 1t was an ex-

Germans Prepare for Battle
With Great Precision.
Decide on Certain Plan, Provide Nee
essary Soldiers and Equipment
With Margin for Miscalcuiation,
but No More, Never Less.

Petrograd.- an interview with a
correspondent a Russian general who
fought in the Galician battles has just
explained the German plan of cam
paign which has resulted so success
fully this summer.
He said the Germans plan battles
as builders plan houses. A builder
gets together his blue prints and his
estimates, engages a sufficient number
of workmen and a certain quantity of
material and sets to work He doesn't
try to build a bigger house than he
has materials or labor for OF course,
accidents or bankruptcy may prevent
the execution of the plan.
Similarly the Germans plan that a
certain thing shall be done; they
bring up the necessary soldiers and
the necessary guns. shells and bullets,
with margin for miscalculation, but
no more and never less.
They may. through accident or mis-
calculation, fail. But they never start
fighting on the principle of doing the

the builders will not decide suddenly

nor will they abandon the house

men or material. They know what
they want to do. The battle planned
and prepared for months in advance
is precise work.
The whole eastern campaign shows
this. When the Germans won at Tan
nenberg they planned the march on
the Lower Vistula. which ended near
Warsaw. Hardly had they retreated
when they tried new vast and clear

How Armenians Make Ammunition.

der, dynamite bombs and serviceable
bullets. They make mortar to throw
bombs. and now are at work on four
cannon. the only weapons the Turks
have which they have not. | visited

copper were cut from plates, to the fin
ished product of polished cartridge
with even English lettering on the
end Everything was handmade, but
between 1000 and 5000 cartridges is
the daily output
Il never imagined that | could be
so interested in munitions of war, or
hope so fervently that the revolutions
lists should win, but it is now a ques-
ton of saving the remnant of the peo-
pie from massacre and starvation, of
defending their lives and homes from
tiendish cruelty, and we exult over
every advance of the little band and
pray that in some way permanent help
may come to them.
After three weeks of fighting in
the city the Armenians have the ad
vantage. But in the defenseless viii
lagos the story is very different. 1t
is wholesale and systematic massacre
of as many as possible and the taking
of many prisoners and sending them
later to the head of the revolutionsts
to be fed In this way starvation will
finish the slaughter.
From the first the most of our refu-
gees were villagers, some from many
miles away. When our premises could
hold no more the houses near by and
protected by the positions held by
the revolutionists were filled. 1t is
estimated that at least 10000 fugitives
are being fed in the gardens. 1t is
impossible to do justice to their con-
dition. Fleeting without time to col
lect their food, they come to us rag
ged, barefoot, hungry and sick from
exposure and fear.

diers are averse to butchery, so the
