INDIVIDUAL ARMOR.

If wars are to continue in the
world it is not improbable that the
old fashion of appareling the soldier
in armor will again return. A very
thin plate of steel can now be con-
structed so as to be astonishingly re-
sistant If the chest and face could
be protected, the wounds on the rest
of the body could be pretty well
taken care of by the surgeons. In
very recent wars men fought stand
ing up, spurning advice to take
cover. Now they are all down in
trenches, and they are setting spades
in the ground before their faces. 1t
is conceivable that the next great
war will see a return to individual
armor. This would greatly increase
the cost of killing a man, the direc-
ton in which all the agencies of
modern war have long been tending.
And it is highly desirable that this
should be so.

Official today. "Joffrc will be there. and

Because Of its close connection with
future developments on the Franco

summer have the street crowds followed

From Swiss sources 1t Is learned here
that General Won Hindenburg. far from
being in Disgrace is really in high
favor with the German Emperor. Be-
fore the Warsaw campaign was started
he held two important conferences with
the Kaiser. 1t was reported here that
he was told If he could squeeze the Rus

In the west for the great drive on Calais
and Paris. while on other commanders
were assigned to the task Of sweeping
the French out Of Alsace.

ports, Is said to have declared that

would bAng the allies to terms. ne ar
gued that the French must withdraw
their forces from Alsace to meet the
rev German offensive. and that the
allies thereby would lose their last hold
OH German soil and be willing to make

believe, can take care Of Italy without
