In this country we really have no more

IT USED TO TAKE TWO TO MAKE FIGHT!
Germany has not paid the slightest atten-
ton to our Declaration Of War.
Had you noticed that?
Indeed, the German government has re-
peatedly said, since our War Dance COM
menced, that it did not intend to make war
upon us.
Far be it from me to say that the German
government isn't the biggest liar on earth,
for it is, but in this case, the facts bear out
the German statement.
The flower of the German army is being
withered on the front. in Northern France;

The Battle Of Kings Mountain, which
turned the gloom of disaster into the dawn
of complete triumph, was altogether due to
the volunteers.
1t was the volunteer who fought at Lex
ington and Bunker Hill.
1t was the volunteer who caused the sur
render Of BUrgoyne: it WAS the volunteer
who stayed with Washington at Valley Forge,
shiyering in his rags, and almost as hungry
as a starved wolf
1t was the volunteer who rode with Ma
ron Sumter, Horny, Clark, and gallant John
SEWER; and it was the volunteer who dragged
his tired limbs after Nathaniel Green, In the
Carolinas, until his tracks were red with the
blood Of his bare feet.
1t was the volunteer who beat the British
at the Battle OF the Thames, and at New
Orleans.
It was the volunteer who stormed the
heights at Cerro Gordo and won the victory
1t Beuna Vista.
Why is it that such a food Of contempt is
suddenly poured over the volunteer system?
That system gave the very best soldiers to
tie Armies of Lee and Grant, Johnston and
herman.
The Old Guard Of Napoleon was made up
e the picked volunteers of the Revolution;
end his most brilliant victories were due to
tie men who came to the IrIcOIOr, vOlun-

If it ends in mutual exhaustion, we Gers

ies of 8.7-inch, 9.7-inch, 11-inch and 15-inch long range guns, although these are very few in number. Their howitzers are for the most part of G. inch calibre; but besides these they have in line batteries of 11-inch, 12- inch and 17-inch howitzers.
 Germany had not developed any liking for mountain guns before this war, but she has been forced to change her views by the develop ments of the fighting, in the Vosges for instance, and now has twenty batteries of mountain guns, six pieces of 3-inch calibre rapid fire to a bat teries of finch mountain howitzers.
 Trench artillery as we'll has been a development of this war, and the German army is now we'll provided with weapons of various kinds for use in the advanced lines. Its trench mortars range in calibre from inches to 10 inches. Finally, the small trench cannon of 1 1a-ineh, inch and 21b- inch calibre have become very num- erous in all sectors of the line.
 The personnel of the gunnery branch of the German army has be- come nearly as great in numbers as that of the infantry.

GREATER VALUE ARTILLERY
 FORCES

FRENCH FRONT, Dec. 6.-The en- tente armies have not been alone in recognizing the greater value of ar tillery as compared with infantry in the method of warfare in operation on all the European fronts since the cessation of the war movement at the end of 1914.
 glance at the strength of the Ger man field artillery branch at the opening of hostilities shows that it then consisted of 641 batteries. At present it is composed of 1000 batter ies at least. As the batteries now contain only four pieces instead of six as at the beginning of the war, the calculation of the power of the artillery in the field must be based on the number of guns rather than that of batteries Whereas in 1914 the German army possessed only B. 852 fieldguns it now disposes of B. 900 if the minimum figure of 2.000 batteries with which it was furnished at the end of 1916 is taken as the basis of calculation.
 These field artillery batteries are divided into two kinds-those armed with the 77.centimetre cannon (the 3-inch) and those armed with light finch field howitzers. The German 3inch cannon has been much improv- eds and it's range greatly increased since 1914.
 #As to the German heavy artillery, the increase in the number Of pieces has been even greater in proportion than that of the field artillery. In peace-time the German empire had organized twenty-four regiments of heavy artillery. Each regiment was composed of two battalions of four batteries formed from among the third ed with four guns, thus totalling 76S heavy guns.
 As soon as the army had been mo- bilized in 1914, the German military authorities established new heavy ar tillery formations. Soon, each artil- lery regiment of the regular army had attached to it reserve regiment consisting of four batteries of skilled gunners, also battalion of four bat teries of landwehr, or second reserv- ists,- and, finally, a battalion of four batteries formed from among the third reservists or landsturm When the arsenals and shell factories later had reached higher level of production VI suns anu ulitlll ullltlOu luFlnGr DdJ-l teries were formed from among the men of the Ersatz reserve. Since the flrst year of the war large numbers of the recruits of the younger classes which have been called out for serv- ice have been sent to the artillery branch. By the end of 1916 the num- Der of heavy batteries had been mul- ] uplied more than five times and in the course of 1917 further additions have been made to the total.
 of the German big guns, 25 per cent, are long range cannon and the remaining 75 per cent howitzers. The most numerous of their long range guns are finch, 4 k-inch, 5-inch and 6-inch; but they possess also batter.

 CHAMPS

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 5.-As a result of its decisive defeat of the California eleven at Eugene, Oregon, os Saturday, November IT, the Ore gon University football team is now in possession of the Pacific Coast con ference championship for 1917. Cali. fornia was downed by ssore of 21 to O.
 California's defeat held particular interest in view of the fact that the blue and gold beat the Oregon Ag-i- cultural college 14 to three while the agricultural boys held the Oregon Oregon university players to one touchdown.
 While the Californians were being beaten in the north the California freshmen rolled up 30 to score against the first year men of the University of Southern California
 The proposition of matching Ore gon against some fast eastern team Is still being discussed unofficially.
