Whole Manhood of German
Empire Will Be Marshaled

TO FIGHTING FORCES
Germany Expects Large In
crease in Army by Poland
Coup-Means Specialization
of All Industry
BY WILLIAM BAYARD HALE.

Berlin (vla Sayviile, wireless), No-
vember 25.-The tremendous plan OF
mobilization OF the civil life of the
German empire, outlined in nv dis
patch OF November Is. will be en-
acted into law on Monday. when, in
a specially convened Reichstag ses-
sion. the chancellor will Introduce and
the German Parliament will enthusi-
astcally put upon the statute books
the act marshalling the whole man.
hood and strength of the German
Fatherland
The scope Of this measure cannot
be exaggerated.
1t means the leveiing of all barriers
of rank for one thing 1t means the
specialization of industry beyond any,
thing ever dreamed OF, even in thia
already highly socialized Germany in
times of peace.
VIII Add Largely to Army.
1t means the release for actual fight
ing Of hundreds of thousands of ply
sically able men now engrossed in
semi military duties.
1t means. especially in connection
with the new armies now volunteer
ing in the kingdom of Poland. the
raising Of the military forces of the
empire to unprecedented figures.
Above all. 1t means the throwing Of
enormous new masses thurman en-
ergy and devotion and OF enormous
quantities of material into the work
of heaping UP supply of ammuni-
ton such as the world has never
heard or dreamed OF before.
I discern many signs that the mill
tary leaders have no idea OF losing
the winter In inactivity. But unques-
tionably the apex of the colossal un-
dertaking now embarked upon will
come approximately within sfx months
that Is to say. early next summer
Rumania will have been crushed
long beofre that time.
In what direction the exercise Of
this stupendous reservoir of energy
is TO be expended remains mystery.
Ludendorff and Hindenhurg are In
undisputed control. surrounded by the
plaudits OF the nation and enjoying
apparently the complete confidence
OF the Kaiser. the chancellor, and all
their compatrtots.
