Fifth Monarchy Movement.

In the latter half of the seventeenth
century, during the time of Oliver
Cromwell, there sprang up in England
a Puritan sect which undertook to in
terpret the prophet Daniels version of
the four beasts, as related in the sew.
enth chapter of Daniel. They made
sad work of it and mixed religion, pol
itics and fanaticism in a way that was
very confusing. They believed that
the four monarchies indicated by the
prophet had passed away and that the
time had come for the beginning of
Christ's millennial reign on earth, that
is, for the beginning of a new mon
archy with Christ as its head. Hence
they were called and willingly accept
ed the designation of Fifth Monarchy
men. At one time they conspired to
murder Cromwell, but he got the first
move and arrested their leaders and
put them under guard. Later. in the
reign Of Charles II, few of them, led
by a cooper named Thomas Venner,
undertook to establish the Kingdom of
Heaven by force, but they were at
tackled by the kings troops and routed,
and on January 10 to 21 Venner and
ten others were executed for high
treason.

Views DesoIation Wrought by
War on Flanders Battle
Front.
SOUL OF YPRES LIVES ON
Town, Which Has Been Through Two
Great Hollis end Many Lesser
Ones, Is Symbol of Tragedy
of Belgium.

Knoxville, Tenn.-How long will the
war last?
The best answer to this question
heard along the Flanders battle front
by Prof. George Herbert Clarke, who
has returned to the chair of English
at the University of Tennessee, was
by South African, who remarked re-
tiectively: "Well, sir, can't rightly
say; but it looks to me as though this
ere war as settled down now into a
sort of instichooshun."
Professor Clarke ventured to ask
the question all along the firing line,
"How long is piece of string?" re-
torted an English statesman.
"a certain major did me the honor
to invite my own conjecture. Profess
sor Clarke says, "and, still better,
agreed with it; but l found, for the
most part, the expected wide diver
sity of opinion"
Another interesting question arose
on board ship during Professor
Clarke's return from Europe: Is a
ship safer than the trenches? Ger
tain Canadian officers on the boat ar
gued the negative Of the question, but
the university professor was stanch
for the affirmative.
Less Danger in Trenches.
Canadian officers said that there
was less danger in trenches because
shells seldom struck the trenches, and
the shot usually went over the heads
of the men. But Professor Clarke was
of the opinion that there is less risk
in ship on the ocean, even though
the kaiser's sea sharks, submarines,
menace vessels, and should boat be
torpedoed, it would probably not be
long until passengers were bound for
Davy Jones' locker, even if they were
in lifeboats or life savers.
The desolated town of Ypres was
visited by Professor Clarke while in
the war zone. "The American imagi-
nation has been deeply touched by the

With 100000 men, there will be APP

required for six months over 100000
600 pounds of hay, which must be i'm
ported, and also 360,000,000 pounds of
oats. Rations will require S15,000,000
pounds. Ammunition will run into bill
lions of pounds.
This freight calculation does not
consider what would be required in
building or rebuilding railroads or can
tonments. The space required for store
housing at the base would be about as
follows: Rations, ETC., 250 acres fuel,
$50 acres forage, $50 acres; remount
depots, $50 acres; environments for cas-
uals, ETC., 800 acres; sick and wounded
1000 acres; engineer, ordnance, and
signal corps, 1,500 acres. Allowing for
roads, office buildings, barracks, etc.,
the total would be about 5000 acres.
Confusion In Figures.
Always there is considerable confu-
sion about shipping figures. There u.s.
no one on this side Of the Atlantic, so
far as / am able to find out who can
tell precisely the difference between
gross and a net ton. AS matter OF
fact, net tonnage is not a fixed term.
In referring to submarine sinkings,
gross tons are always used, together
with the English reckoning of 2,24o
hounds to the ton. In general way
cargo carrying space is figured in cubic
feet and then divided by 100 to get
gross tonnage. Displacement is quite
another matter. That kind of tonnage
means the weight of the ship Itself, as
I understand it, although the word
suggests the weight of the water dis
placed by the ship. Those who follow
the submarine news should bear in
mind that tonnage given is gross and
that weight of cargo is not included.

A Dantean Desolation.
The word Somme similarly has ex.
banded into a novel and grotesque
symbol, Professor Clarks says. "For
the Somme is a Dantean desolaticn,
extending mile beyond mile-a DESC

stripped, woebegone boughs, churned
up subsoils that look like plague spots

of Coleridge's 'rotting sea- The ad-
jective is pale and ineffective here. l
thought of Browning's 'Childe Ro-
land"
But there is another side to the
Somme picture: brisk movement at
the appropriate spots is not wanting,
as there is a distant train hauling its
freight; German prisoners working the
roads; Tommy at his endless fatigue
jobs; guns volleying overhead; the
army service corps, carrying on" with
it's never-ceasing string Of numbering
lorries; and, perhaps most completely
diverting of all, the momentary ap-
pearance of Kentucky mule on the
skyline, tossing his heels in an aban-
doned ecstacy.

Over 200 Ships Will Be Required
Constantly to Supply the
American Force.
GREAT AREA FOR SEA BASE
Estimated That 100 Pounds of Freight
Per Man Per Day Must Be Un-
loaded at the Port of De-
barkation.
CHARLES H. GRAsTY.
New York Times.

London. - The American army In
France will need some transporting.
Here are figures that are at least ap-
proximately correct.
1t is estimated that 100 pounds OF
freight per man per day must be I'M
loaded at the port of debarkation.
Therefore, when~ at the end of two
years, we have, say, one million men
in France, we must unload daily 1OO,-
100000 pounds of freight, or OOOoo
tons.
Three Thousand tons can be I'M
loaded daily from good-sized ship |;
hence IL ships at the wharves, each OF
them unloading 1900 tons, will fill the
requirements. In the United States
II ships must be loading $4,000 tons
day. This makes a total of "a SHIPS
at the docks. Taking as basis q o.
600 ton (dead weight ship, we see
that IL ships must leave New YORK ev-
ery two DAYS and IL ships leave some
French port every two days In tran
sit with army freight. Assuming ten
DAYS as the time of passage. there
would be 10 ships 10000 tons) en-
route to and from the United States,
which, added to the 81 at the DOCKS
will make total Of 204 ships, assum-
ing no loss or delay.

BY EDWARD w. PIckARp.

Centralized, unified control of the
grand strategy of the allies was the
burning question Of last week, and
Premier LloydGeorge became the
storm center of discussion. Following
the establishment of the interAllied
war council by the British, French and
Italian governments and English par
liamentary and press criticism there
of, Mr.. Lloyd-George, then in Paris
delivered what he himself called a
"brutally frank speech admitting that
the allies had repeatedly made 'incred-
ible plumbers" in Serbia, Roumania,
Italy, and elsewhere. These he at
tributed in the main to lack of united
action, and declared that while the
war has been prolonged by particular
ism, 1t will be shortened by solidarity.
This aroused a storm of adverse
comment and brought the premier face
to face with the most serious political
crisis that has confronted him. Even
Mr. Asquith joined his critics, and
Lloyd-George fastened home to reply
to them. The opposition assumed the
war council plan meant the retirement
of Haig and Robertson and the con-
troll of military operations by civilians
The people as whole seemed to sup
port the premier, and there was be-
lief that he would win the struggle.
The war-council scheme is still in
complete in that the United States is
not yet included, but it is hoped that
President Wilson and his administra-
ton will recognize its wisdom and join
with the others in evolving and carry
ing out a plan of grand strategy.
Lord Northcliffe was offered the adj
ministration of the new air ministry
by Lloyd George, but declined. In his
letter of declination he spoke of the
fervor and enthusiasm with which the
United States and Canada proceed
with their war preparations, compar-
ing this with the "wabbly' methods
in England. He warned the premier
that unless there was swift improve
ment in Great Britain, the United
States would rightly take into its own
hands the entire management of a
great part of the war, refusing to "sac-
rifice it's blood and treasure to the in
competent handling of the affairs of
Europe"
PainIeve's Cabinet Falls.
Franco also was stirred by the uni
fication measure and partly as a re-
suit the tottering ministry headed by
Premier Painleve toppled over. Its
fall, however, was more especially due
to the controversy over "Roloism," the
German propaganda that has infested
France as well as the United States,
Russia and, it now appears, Italy as
well.
No tears were wasted over the fate
of the Painleve cabinet, but there be-
. gan a great scrambling to find the
strong leader who, it was admitted,
must be discovered. Clemenceau, the
"Tiger," a former premier, was cali
ed on Thursday to form new minis
try and accepted the mission. He is
known as an exponent of the big stick
is one of the most forceful figures in
French public life and was the man
who started the campaign against the
German propaganda in France. His
chief obstacle to success will be the
opposition of the socialists, who hate
him because of the drastic methods he
employed in dealing with labor trou-
bles when he was premier about ten
years ago.
