 Among the latest examples of what the French call ''paperasserie" morn ing paper produces a photograph showing a roll 1-2 yards long, made of sheets of official paper pasted to- gether; it required the time of several clerks several days to note upon these sheets duplicate entries of the balances of pay and meal indemnities due to the soldiers of a single company While on leave. What the same expenditure re of time and effort would amount to in the entire army of several million men may be ina gined but calculated with difficulty.
 The Oeuvre cites a case in which more than 2,0Oo postal money orders for ten centines (two cents) and twen- ty centimes (four cents), each accom- panied by note written by hand, were sent each month from the command ing bases of army corps to soldiers who had been sent to the rear to work in nnunition factories at C--. The officer in charge who receives these postal orders at c from the diff ferent army corps acknowledges re- ceiut of each order, writes new note, adds a new stamp and a new sigma ture, then sends the order to the di- rector of the works in which the sol dier is employed; the works director acknowledges receipt of the sums, en- ters them in a special register, after which the order is finally delivered to the soldier in exchange for a receipt and which receipt takes the inverse road and follows the different hierar- chic stages until it gets back to the army corps. The soldier, provided with Identifying papers, can then col Iect his two cents or four cents as the case may be, in exchange for another receipt. another signature and another stamp.

However, it recently transpir- ed that the director of every Red Cross hospital received a circular call ing for detailed report regarding each patient treated in the hospital, comprising four full typewriter pages of questions. An experimental demon stration proved that it required two days time of one of the nurses to fill out this circular, as required, for a single patient. Consequently had the demand been compiled with, it would have been necessary to multiply the hospital staff several times to do this clerical work in addition to the com plicated bookkeeping and the individ- ua1 records made up for the personal file of each man brought into the hos pita1
 The Cri de Paris cites another case in which this red tape in the hands of people not expert with it multiplies itself A circular from the Sanitary department of an army corps informed the officers in command of different units that they were authorized to buy shoes for the men to be shipped from the rear at the minimum price of 20 francs; three days later a new cir cular cancelled the first and announc- ed that it was a maximum price of 20 francs that was authorized; four days later third circular cancelled both the others and announced that the au- thorization in question applied only to troops in fighting units actually at the front; result a number of circulars, envelopes, written and forwarded, triple the number of officers command ing different units of an army corps of the entire forces behind the front.
 It has often been stated that the deficiencies of armament, both in the army and navy, were largely the re- suit of red tape, or Monsieur Le Blu reau'' as the French call the bureau crats who resisted before the war and are still resisting any reform after 22 months of an experience that shows the futiHty of a great deal of their eff fort.

His theory of the aerial combat is to go at his man, drive right at him regardless of the enemy's fire. paying attention only to his own. Up to date, Ma varrel has waged nearly 50 air battles
 A great many anecdotes are told of Navarro, some of them perhaps some what stretched, a few of them auth entic. One of the latter relates to his fourth combat. which barely escaped getting him 30 days Of prison. He had then already acquired the habit which he still follows, of getting out before daylight and finishing his sleep in his machine, so as to be ready to take the air instantly when an ad- versary's machine is signa11ed. On this occasion his aid ran up crying, There is a German coming up there,
 Navarro darted into the air above the river Marne, and made straight for a big German two-seated bip1ane. He fired a dozen bullets at the pilot who in trying to shield himself, steer ed his machine abruptly to one side. Then Navarro placed nine bullets in the motor and the machine plunged toward the earth but landed without accident. Navarro landed after it, and, running up just as gendarmes were taking the pilot and the sobserv- CT away, invited them into a wine shop beside the gendarmes' headquar- ters to have a drink.

One of the Greatest

Lord Kitchener's tragic death
removes the last of the only three
great soldiers whom Great Britain
has had in the past century-the
Duke of Wellington, Lord Roberts

more strikingly show the un.
military character of that
country. Even the United
States, which makes no pretense
to warlike prowess, has developed
many more generals of world wide
fame. This is not necessarily to
the discredit of Great Britain

In Case of Victory


France has an old score to settle
with Germany-a defeat in arms,
a huge indemnity imposed as a
penalty of defeat, the loss Of i'm
portant and much, ,prized prov
inces, followed by a succession OF
humiliating interferences with Its
policies, both foreign and domes'
tic. France was patient. 1t
never sought a quarrel with Ger
many. Even when the present
war was impending, it lent its aid
to every proposal that would tend
to preserve peace.
But the war that France did
not seek was forced upon it; and
nobly has the nation borne itself
during all these months. In the
event of victory it can make no
demand that it's allies will not
gladly support. 1t is not likely,
however, to ask for any territory
except lost provinces on the
Rhine. AS an act of retributive
Justice it would be entitled to a
return of those milliards in cash
that Germany exacted in 1871.
If France should win, its great
gain would be to get rid of the
overbearing surveillance and the
imperious dictation that it has
suffered from German chancellors,
from Bismarck to Bethmann Holl'
veg.
Yet if the victory lies with the
Entente Allies, France will have a
great part in the new Europe.
The ancient hostility between
France and Great Britain had dis,
appeared before the war began,
and brotherhood in the field has
cemented between them an endur'
ing friendship. The union of the
two powers will give them a COM
manding voice in the councils of
Europe. The policy of both diff,
fers most widely from that of
Germany. They will have no
designs, open or occult, agalnst
any of the smaller powers. On
the contrary, they will be defend
ers of the little nations against ag'
gression. With Russia they will
form a league to insure peace.
History gives many examples
of attempts, some successful,
others unsuccessful, by military
chieftains and sovereigns, to as
sumo the leadership of Europe,
and many conflicts to preserve the
"balance of power" by defeating
such attempts. 1t gives us no
previous example of an alliance
formed expressly to maintain the
rights of every nation, great and
small, to prevent the dominatio n
of anv power through its military
strength, and to enforce peace by
hostile measures against any
nation that may wantonly attack
a weaker neighbor.

Tribute To Mosby

When John s. Mosby, a young
Virginia lawyer, at the outbreak
of the civil war enlisted as a
private, he had absolutely no
military training training. By
his audacity, resourcefulness and
tireless love of adventure, he be.
came one of the South's most ef-
fective cavalrymen. He and Fitz
Lee were "Jeb" Stuart's two
favorites.
AS a scout and raider, operat-
ing in the northern tier of Vir.
ginia, Mosby made his name hated
and feared by Northern generals.
Whether at the head of his picked
body of men, the 'Partisan Rang
ers," or battalion of Virginia
cavalry, he was always on the
move, always preparing surprises.
If he was hard pressed or in seri'
Gus danger, he disbanded his men,
to meet him again at a given
place.
1t was Mosby's boast that he
held receipts for over 5000 ted
erals taken by himself and his
troopers. He destroyed and cap
tured millions Of dollars worth o.
supplies. In one raid he cap
tured two Federal paymaster'
with $16S,OO in money, cut Sher
mans railroad communications
burned a large quantity of rolling
stock and bagged a Northern
brigadier general.
