army going. That e. what the Ger

portion in the British army, Winston
Churchill recently tCld the commons,
is three noncomhatonts to one bay
onet. The explanation is the innumor-
able light field railways built by the
Germans behind their lines, which
save time ana labor: they have :
near Ncrdun alone. while the French
depend on motor transport. France
and Britain did not start building
field railways behind their front he
cause they expected to drive the Ger
mans back long before such jobs
could be completed. The German
staff commenced its railways in the
fall of 1914. after II had decided TO
hold its ground indefinitely in the
west ana seek a decision over Rus

composed of men who had not served
their time, but had received a short
training before the war, Ike the
American militia, and it was given
several months extra work during
the summer and autumn before reach
ing the trenches. After February l.
1915, no trained men remained, and
the work of preparing unframed ma

like France. Germany in peace time
trains less than twO-thirds of her
young men. BY April L. all unframed
men between 20 and 35 had been
called up, except those retained in
indispensable war industries in jobs
which could not be filled 10y women.
boys or old men. BY August 1. just
a year after the war began, all un-
trained men up to 40 had been made
soldiers, although most of them were
still retained in training depots at
home.
During the latter part of the sum
mer OF 1915 the process known as
"comhing out" began. All men OF
military age who had been rejected
were re-examined. and hundreds OF
thousands of Crlpples and detectives
of all sorts were passed for military
service. These men, of course, have
not been sent into battle. The ruth
less German military machine has
taken every man who can do any
thing to release more able com

likely to go bad unless periodically

r.. w. Berry, candidate for Dis
trict Judge in Teton Toole a d
Cascade counties on the Republican

mitted to the Supreme Court OF

i've experience in the practice of

Montana, and during that time he
was Prosecuting Attorney of Cas-

the most difficult cases in the state,
involving appeals to the Supreme
Court, in all of which he was sue
cessful. One of these cases was APP
pealed to the Supreme Court of the
United States, where his work was
again sustained.
He has had experience upon the
District bench and as special Judge
of the District Court tried the noted
| Sixth Street Sewer case without a
jury, the trial lasting twenty-one
days, and the case finally depending
upon one question of law which
would be decisive of the whole mat
ter. Judge Berry decided the case,
an appeal was taken to the Supreme
Court and his decision was sustained
by that Court. II Is father, DR..
Berry, was a member of the House
and Senate and General Manager of
Internal Affairs of the state of
Michigan and one of the founders
and leaders of the Republican party
in that state. Judge Berry has been

iusted numerous Land Office cases
and carried on a large and success

that only the capitalists were

Not long ago The Great

by a former s%heepman of
Montana who, with his son,
his sons wife and baby went
to Mexico to engage in the
sheep business, having beer
forced out of the business
here by the invasion Of
homesteaders. This man es-
tablished a sheep ranch il
Northern Mexico and abou'
a year ago a Villa band con.
