Another Terrible Cold Weather
Campaign Is Looked For, and
the Fighting Nations Are Exert
ina Themselves to the Utmost.
How the F"renchWomen Are
Doing Their Share.

" campaign! This at n time
was the daily question Of
all whom the European war
has affected. Another terrible win
ter campaign! One preferred not to
believe it, yet already n is begin
ming to become accustomed to the idea,
to accept it with mute fatalism as n
has accepted so much, says q letter
from Paris.
1t is now admitted that the Russian
retreat in Galicia and Poland and the
preparations Of the English, which will
still take considerable time, are the I'M
foreseen factors that will prolong the
war. It is known that Italy, with the
probability before it Of a very long"
war, has resolved seriously to study
the question of ammunition. It Is
also known that at a recent public
meeting an English minister said that
undoubtedly the war would last two
years longer. One cannot hide the fact
that hostilities will last much longer
than France at first supposed. Nat
urally no one has manifested any Joy
at the thought. and many are deeply
panied, but oil are prepared coura-
geously to accept the inevitable.
Every department IS working with
feverish haste. Nothing has been over
looked-material, ammunition, food,
clothing. The great gun works at
Creusot have just opened q new fac
tory in the suburbs of Paris. Through
out the territory shells are being manu-
featured wherever it has been possible
to assemble a few lathes. A new divi-
sion Of heavy artillery was made some
time ago.
New Implements Of War.
New auto machine guns have been
constructed with two directions, one in
front and M in the rear, making them
twice as easy to handle and twice as
effective. By loopholes On the sides
rlfemen will also be able to get at the
enemy. New explosives and-one may
admit It, as the Germans were the first
to use 1t-1nfammable gas are under
consideration.
Yet all this is Judged insufficient, and

for cannon, ammunition, material! The
invader must be crushed beneath an
avalanche of steel, a deluge Of fire.
The head Of the British war office has
announced that, according to informa-
ton received, the Austro-G Germans are
IN position to manufacture $500 0
shells a day. One wishes to do better
than this. It Is not enough to keep up
with the enemy; he must be surpassed.
Only at this price can victory be had.
Army supplies are n of the chief
preoccupations Of the country. AS
there is a decrease Of 10 per cent in
French cattle, the government has ar
ranged for the purchase, until the end
Of the war or until Dec. 81, 1915, OF
10000 tons a year Of refrigerated beet
for the consumption of the army. AND
to favor the colonies the government
will make purchases there for the army
at the rate of $4,000 tons a year til
Dec. 81, 1917.
Fur Lined Boots and Little Stoves.
We are informed that farsighted Ger
many has ordered the manufacture Of
100000 fur lined boots and 500, 900 lit
tie stoves for the troops that will pass
the coming winter in the trenches
France will do likewise. Already thou
sands Of trench stoves are prepared
and pyramids Of warm blankets are
ready. Through the streets cars pass
loaded with new military uniforms
