in fact, that it came in contact with the outer ring of Paris forts before the force under Von Boehn on his left, had covered much more than half the distance from the Belgian frontier. As result Von Kluck was compelled to turn sharply east ward, and so march across the front of the French position. His successful accom- plishment of this maneuver, in the face of 100000 fresh French troops, not to men, ton the British retreating in front of him, made him stand out as the first truly ar resting figure of the war. And his sue cessful resistance of all efforts to envelop him since has made even the French ac knowledge his amazing capacity as leader
 As for the Germans, they feel secure with KIuck in the field. His tremendous enter prise and unshakable pertinaclty recall forcibly the tactics of Stonewall Jackson. Like Jackson he is scientific soldier, and like Jackson he is also of vast daring and resourcefulness in the field.

general in 1902 a lieutenant general, and in 1896 he was put in command of the Fifth army corps. In the same year he was promoted to the high rank of general of infantry, and was transferred to the First army corps, with headquarters on the Russian frontier, and in 1911 the kaiser granted him the right to use 'Fvon" before his name, and so lifted him to equality With the aristocrats of the general staff
 During his term of service in Eastern Prussia Kluck was engaged upon the con struction of the long chain of submerged forts which the Germans now rely upon to keep the Russians out of Berlin. These forts, according to the best available ac- counts, are quite different from those that the Great German Busy Berthas" have been pounding to pieces at Antwerp. They are flat with the ground and present no target whatever. The great guns with which they are mounted are in deep pits, and arise on disappearing carriages only at the moment of firing. How many such forts the Germans have between Dantzig and Allenstein is not known, but it IS fhly probable that they are not more than two or three miles apart
 A short time before war was declared Won Kluck was made inspector general there are but eight in the whole German army and put in command ot the Second, Fifth and Sixth army corps, with head quarters in Berlin. His office, of course, made him a member of the general staff, and he took leading part in those prepara- tions that have contributed so much to the amazing progress of the German army.
 Kluck is essentially an infantry com mander, and his great dash through Bel gium and Northern France to the very gates of Paris was made almost wholly with foot soldiers. In the course of this dash he broke all the worlds marching records. After the first battle with the British, at Mons, he pushed forward four whole army corps at the rate of twenty miles a day, and after his delay at Cambrai, which allowed the retiring British to get days start on him, he proceeded for while even faster.
 So speedy was the movement of his army

WON KLUCK

General Alexander H. R. Von Kluck, commander of the German right wing whose spectacular march upon Paris, and even more spectacular retreat, have focused the attention of the whole world upon him, will be 69 years old on May 20 next He was born in Munster and his father was a commoner of no influence. Young Kluck (his "von" Is very recent became an en- sign in the Sixty fifth regiment of infantry when he was 20 and saw service a few months afterward in the Austro-Prusslan war of 1866, in which he won a leutenancy. In this modest rank, says the Baltimore Sun, he remained for seven years, despite the fact that he fought gallantly in the Franco -Prussian war of 1S70-7l, and was twice severely wounded before Metz, and got the Iron Cross for valor. In 1873 he was promoted to captaincy and three years later he was made adjutant of the Twenty -ei ghth brigade of infantry. During the remainder of the 70's he served with various commands as a captain, helping to drill the huge army that the new Germany was gradually bringing into training.
 Meanwhile he had attracted the atten- ton of old Helmuth von Moltke, the victor of 1870, and in 1881 he was made com pany commander in the school for officers at Julch. In 1884 he was transferred to the school at Annaburg, and three years later he was made major and transferred to Neubreisach It was during this time that his remarkable grasp of military sci ence began to show itself He was one of the young officers who battled steadily and consistently for modern artillery mod ern equipment and modern methods, and bit by bit he forced his views upon his su- periors In 1893 he was transferred back to the line as lieutenant colonel of the Sixty sixth regiment, and in 1896, at the age of 50 he got his colonelcy. His first com mand was the Thirty-fourth regiment of foot.
 By this time Kluck's unusual capacity be- gan to be thoroughly understood in the highest circles, and he kept on climbing the ladder. In 1899 he was made major

A CHANT OF HATE

{By Ernest Llssauer, in Jugend. Rendered
 into English by Barbara Henderson, French and Russian, they matter not, blow for blow and shot for SnOt; We hold the Weichsel and Vosges- gate We have but one and only hate; We love as one, we hate as one, We have one foe and one alone. He is known to you all, he is known to He crouches behind the dark gray flood, Full of envy, of rage, of craft, of gall Cut on by waves that are thicker than
 blood.
 Come, let us stand at the judgment place, An oath to swear to, face to face, An oath Of bronze no wind can shake An oath for our sons and their sons to take. Come, hear the word repeat the word Throughout the Fatherland make it heard. We will never rorego our hate, We have all but single hate; We love as one, We hate as one, We have one foe and one alone

You will we hate with lasting hate; We Will never fOrCEO our hate Hate by water and hate by land.
