Wonderful Ode Holland.

Washington, D. C.-Switzerland's
system Of citizen soldiery preparedness
has been a subject of wide exploitation
since the outbreak of the European
war, but little has been written about
he manner in which diminutive Hol-
land safeguards her national integrity,
surrounded as she is on practically all
sides by powerful neighbors. A graphic
and authoritative account of the citi-
zen army Of this David among the Co
liaths OF Europe Is given in a commu-
nication to the National Geographic So
ciety from Hendrix Willem Van Loon,
a part Of which Is issued today as a
war geography bulletin from the socie-
tvs Washington headquarters:
THE Holland with which we are all
familiar Is a picturesque combination
Of dikes and windmills, smiling girls
with pretty lace caps, n very small
boys with very big cigars. There is
another side to this picture to which
we have paid less attention; that is
the Holland Of the modern merchant
and the modern scientist-a small bit
of land teeming with industry n busy
with a thousand different affairs-a
country administering a vast colonial
empire without the use Of q large mil
itary establishment n capturing No
bel prizes at a most enviable rate.
The modern kingdom, with its ar
bors and its vast foreign trade, forms
a small but concise national unit in
the midst of very powerful neighbors,
who for two years have been engaged
in the most gigantic of all wars. Yet
Holland has managed to keep out OF
the struggle with lasting success. 1t
was able to do this because In a mill
tary sense it was fully prepared for all

sorely tried in the great battles OF the
future will be in the lack of those very
Prussians, who have fought so valiantly
and paid so dearly on the Somme. Next
spring Germany will still have an i'm
mense army, but it will never be the
fighting machine that began the present
year.
With the same foresight evidenced in
the German military machine, many OF
its officers were reserved TO train new
men. 1t was not until the pressure on
the Somme became so great that they
we're called upon for active field service.
The casualties of the last summer in
cluded a great number of these valua-
bic instructors.
German Discipline Strict
The discipline maintained by German
officers has saved them from many tight
places in the Somme fighting, and, If
possible, they have now grown more
rigid. There have been frequent stories
of German soldiers found chained or
strapped to their guns. | asked few
British officers for corroboration on
this point. They secuted the idea. The
straps, they said, were to carry the
machine guns over the shoulders, thus
relieving the burden on the arms.

Governor Whitman made six speeches
last night-hs first Of the present cam

tour through Yorkville, Harlem and
The Bronx.
"a vote for the Republican tickets of
nation and state is a vote for good gov
eminent" he told a crowd of 1000 at
Bohemian Hall, 321 East Seventy-third
Street. "The party is united now,
nHyer to part again. The people are
thinking OF the issues in this campaign,

We are seeking votes on our record.

acts of his subordinates. / am not only
ready but proud to be responsible for

Buffalo, Oct. -Vice-President
Marshall came from Indiana and ex-
Governor Glynn from Ohio to join
Samuel Seabury and William F. Nc
Combs tonight as top-liners at two
big mass meetings here.
Prior to the meetings there was an
sll-day gathering of the clans at the
Iroquois until that place looked like
Saratoga on the eve of a convention.
While lesser lights talked in the lob

William J. Corners, former state
chairman. Several hundred persons
greeted the candidates at a reception
which followed.

WHITMAN ENDS

Defends His Official Acts
to Voters of MiddletOWn
Speaks for Stivers
lrrrm . SO corr,.ponaent Of ne rrisune.l

[From stan Correspondent Of The Trbune.l
Middletown, n. Y, Oct. 28.-Before
an audience of Orange County farmers
and business men here to-day Governor
Whitman ended his two weeks OF cam
paigning from a special train. IL was
an unusually friendly audience, ana
responded generously to his attack on
his Democratic opponent. Barring TWO
speeches in Jmestown and Mayville
next Friday, it was his last speech up
state. With the exception of the time
it will take him to go to Chautauqua
County and back, the Governor will
spend the rest of the time between now
and Election Day in New York City anc
its environs.
Assumes Full Responsibility
'T assume full responsibility for all
that has been done during my admin
stration," said the Governor. ut has
been accused by my opponent as IN
efficient, extravaganza and corrupt.
have asked him to specify wherein 1t
was corrupt, inefficient and extrava-
CANT. He made an attempt to answer
the last, specifying nineteen items,
which | have answered. Now let him
name a single incompetent in office, or
point to a single act of corruption, or
else hold his peace. It is cowardly 20
make charges of that sort from pub
lie platform without saying what Is
corrupt, who is corrupt, or where the
corruption lies"
The Governor, before coming here,
spoke in Sullivan County, in Liberty
and Monticello. There, as here, ne
was accompanied by State Senator Jonn
d. Stvers, father of the military b,ll
which has been characterized by Mr.
Seabury as an act aimed at making
New York an armed camp, and step
toward military despotism. The local
Democratic organization is making a
stubborn fight against Stivers based on
this act, and to-day the Governor came
to his aid.
Speaks in Aid of Stivers
"Not a newspaper in the state" said
Governor Whitman, possibly with ore
or two exceptions, made an objection TO
this bill when it was up for passage
and before me for signing. Democrats
and Republicans alike, in both branches
Of the Legislature, gave their united
support TO this bill, and it remained f)f
my opponent to raise voice against It.
But the bill does nothing more thsn
carry out the provisions of the ma
tional defence act, passed by Demo
cratic Congress, described by Mr.: Sea-
bury as one of the best national leg
islatures in years, and signed by a
President whom Mr. Seabury has pro-
claimed the greatest President since
Lincoln"

EXCEPTIONAL VALUES

state and that you have jeopardized
the welfare of society and the welfare
of prisoners by using that agency as
an instrument to promote your political
ambitions.
Thomas Mott Osborne, warden Of
Sing Sing, under your administration,
has repeatedly and specifically charged
that you broke every promise you ever
made before and after your election;
that you gave the great work of prison
reform Judas-like support; that you
sought to make secure your political
position by playing politics with the
prisons of the state; that you acqul-
esced in a conspiracy to end his eff
forts for reform by branding him as a
felon.
"You have not answered these
charges. If you will not make answer
to Mr.. Osborne, / demand that you
make answer to the people of this
state.
Governor Whitman says in the book
that he has issued to the voters that
he has promoted every phase of prisoE
reform. Nobody knows better than Mr..
Osborne whether or not this is true.
Mr.. Osborne's testimony on that sub
JeCL is gwen IN IJlt AtbJSI WHICH hS
wrote to Governor Whitman"
Mr.. Seabury then quoted the fol-
lowing sentence from Mr.. Osborne's
letter: "But do desire to influence the
future, so far as | may, to the end that
no man so weak as yourself, so shifty,
so selfish, so false, so cruel, may be
trusted with further power" The
speaker let his voice drop almost to
whisper, but so quiet was the great
auditorium that his words carried to
its furthest corner, pandemoniun
breaking loose as he ended.
Ex-Governor Glynn's address was q
defence of the Wilson Administration,
coupled with forecast of what may be
expected from Mr.. Seabury as Gov
ernor.
Under Judge Seabury as Governor
Of New York." said he, "there will be
no secret staircase in the Capitol at
Albany, through which corporation
lobbyists. legislative accellerators Or
paid public sentiment moulders can
find their way into the Executive

might have been taking his "constitu-
tional" in Hyde Park in pre-war times
instead of in France as the head OF
Britain's wonderful army. wondered
if Prince Rupprecht and the crown
Prince were taking a similar stroll,
oblivious to the waves Of flesh and steer
battering against their lines.
The British officers at the front fear
only one thing, and that is premature
peace. They want to finish the Joo as
they know they can do 1t.
A young German officer taken pris-
oner resented all overtures with colo,
naughty, arrogant manner until hnaily
he was invited to join the mess or the
officers who captured him. Then he
broke into tears, apparently amazed
that the enemy could show such KIND
ness. II the war has brought out the
worst in the Germans, 1t has produced
the best in the British. The EnSftsh
bulldog now has a strain Of the. fox
terrier, without having lost any OF the
tenscity of the bull. This is factor
that must be considered in the future
battles OF the war. Perhaps the close
association of the British with the
French is partly responsible, but IN any
case the Germans no longer face an
army that rushes into battle headlong'
hoping TO win by bravery alone.

divisions on the Western front. All Of
the 1916 class have been seen under
fire. Many of the prisoners captured
by the Allies are undeveloped boys Of
fifteen or sixteen, though their war
papers give their ages as between
eighteen and twenty.
To date the Germans have lost more
than 400, 900 men on the Somme front
OF these 60 per cent were wounded,
two-ffths Of whom-about 10000
have been able 10 return to the firing
line. German industries are being
carefully combed, but it is impossible
to estimate the result. The German
age limit remains at forty-eight, seven
years younger than that of Austria.
German division now numbers $4,000
men, so there are approximately 1880
900 men in Prince Rupprechts army.
Man Power Problem Serious
Although Russia Is the only bellig-
crent not worried by the man power
problem, il is most serious in Germany,
where every one, including the prison
ers, is being impressed into some form

that the Germans have been doing a
tremendous amount Of intrenching be-

Miraumont- Bapaume ridge. The bad
weather of October was a great advan-
tage to them, as they were able TO or

will undoubtedly concentrate all their
energies in extensive digging, in so far
as the Allies activities will permit
them TO carry on such work. When
spring comes they hope, having learned
the lessons of the last summer, TO meet
all new attacks and hold Off the Allies
on the Somme until they have exhaust
ed themselves by their own efforts.
Their calculations are based on the as
sumption that France is exhausted and
that Britain cannot win the war sin

the German estimates regarding the
British army have fallen far short OF
the actual truth.

One of the most memorable Incidents
of my trip to the front was visit TO
the gas chamber in the training camp
through which every Tommy must pass
before going into the trenches. After
donning a gas mask | entered the
chamber, where the gas is three times
as dense as It can possibly be in the
trenches. walked in the darkness per-

the air again il seemed as If | had

If there is any death worse than that
by the gas used in the barbarous fight
ing of the present war it exists only in
purgatory.
Only the future will tell whether new
forms of destruction will be invented
this winter.

"You have ample evidence to issue

to want me to do is to act first as a

Let me tell you," shouted Judge
Uhlir as he arose in his seat and
banged a healthy fist on the bench,
'it is not the duty of this court to
find evidence and turn it over to the
