1t was long a military axiom that an assailing column going against an established line of battle should be to the defenders in the proportion of three to one. This applied to the old method of combat, where the defense nature. Field fortifications-tha is, ramparts and embankments of earth and logs or sandbags-increased the ratio to four or five to one. The Ger man intrenched line in France, which the allies have been attacking at inter vals since July 1, is believed to be the best that military science can con- struCt. Well armed soldiers behind such defenses should be able to ac- count for from five to ten enemies per man in the kind of attacks which the allies have been delivering. sometimes two and three a day over the same ground. The reports of the allies themselves indicate that whenever the Germans have retaken ground and nClC dSdh CApCllSu lbC IOi the allies has been terrific and, of course, attended with heavy losses from the assaulting ranks. The pol icy of General Joffre, who is directing these assaults, is said to be that of attrition-the wearing down of the German defenders by the slow proc ess of steady killings. By all the rules of experience the assaults of the allies on the Somme line should have cost them casualties in proportion to the relative strengtb-that is, from three minimum to ten maximum kill ed, wounded and missing for each de fender encountered behind the bar riers. At that rate the policy of at triton as applied in France is a cost ly give away game. The question is, How long can the aggressors keep it up? Grant tried attrition against Lee in 1864 and abandoned it at the end of six weeks as a bad investment. Thereafter he seized positions which Lee was compelled to fight for and in the end, after ten months, wore the Confederate defenders of Petersburg and Richmond ito a frazzle"

TEDIOUS WRITING.

A tedious writer is not one who usesItoo many words, but one who uses many words to little purpose.

Some army theorists think that re.
 cruiting for the regular army would be more lively if the regiments were To- calized after the British fashion. This might work well for an army in peace, but big battle would tell another sto- ". The young men of the local dis trict would be wiped out, and after that enlisting in tour home regiment" would not be so attractive. France formerly had local regiments and abandoned the system for the reason that battle losses should be distributed.

LINGO OF AUSTRALIA
Description of a Baseball Game
Is Quite Unique.
Pitcher "Mounts the Box" and "Tre at.
Batter With Respect"-"Came
With Brilliant Hit Right
Out to Left Field"

The following description OF base.
ball game played recently in Australia
between native and American resident
mines gives an excellent idea OF an
tipodean baseball vernacular:
THE American mounted the box first.
sending Marie to face the attack. The
pitcher treated him with respect, al.
lowing him to walk to first. Casey
followed, and Hearnden's error ena.
blod him to reach second in safety.
Caswell then threw wildly at first bag,
and before the ball was recovered
Marie and Casey had sprinted across
the plate. Tucker, meanwhile, had
made good on the diamond, but Bragg s
fly, which was mufied. gave the fields
man an opportunity OF cutting the run
ner of at third. Bragg consequently
scored on Browns hit to the country,
making three runs for the inning.
Australia sent Hearndon to the box
first, but n putout at first base was
registered. Comber followed and
Mares bad throw saw him safely
it-tu'u IT III ST. N'lbN lhtl "llu
a brilliant hit right out to left field,
bringing Comber home. Spiller. who
had been missed by the catcher, made
his way to third and passed bali
completed the distance for him. In
the next term America could not get
on the box, and then Australia made Il
determined effort to draw level in tho
succeeding term. Hearndon brilliant.
~ smashed to the left garden" for
,wo-bagger, and a passed ball sent
hin on to third. Another passed ball
completed the Journey for him. and
the score read three.all.
"Spiller was indulging In daring
pilfering on the diamond, and u well
judged steal gave him second base,
from where he was sent flying across
the plate on Golby's clout. which
Casey allowed to get past Colby had
reached third when Lambert went
into bat, and the Leichhardt player
brought him home on fine outiield
hit, which produced two bags. Cas-.
well then brought Lambert home. max
