and Hartford has but nine companies.
| The total for these three largest cities
in the stan is practically one-third OF

| to have regular military equipment,
consisting of uniform, rifle, poncho ETC.,
but it has been found that the guard
already contains many more than S..
| 900, SO either some will be without
equipment or further provisions will
have to be made.
The first line consists of 1000 In
fantry, 250 machine gun men and $50
men In the river patrol, medical and
supply corps and other units. They
would require about 5000 uniforms,
| 1000 rifles, 20 machine guns and 500
/ to 1000 revolvers. A reasonable sup
ply of blankets must also be provided.
| Within three days from March IL,
! nearly all of the supplies had been
contracted for,and at prices that could
| be touched now. Also $4,000 rounds
| Of ammunition was bought at much
less than they would cost today. On

| strength of each company from IS
| Even then, there were> more COM
men to 6s r,en and three officers

Predict More Republics
In Europe Before Long

London, April 24--At conference
here of journalists representing the
European neutral countries the situa-
ton in Spain, Holland, Greece and
Scandinavia was discussed, particu-
larly from the economic and political
side, special consideration being given
to the effect the Russian revolution
had had in the nations under discus
sion.
One speaker declared that republi-
can sentiment had won many converts
in the unneutral countries. He ex-
pressed the belief that republics
would be set up before the end of
the war in Sweden, Greece and Spain.
This speaker, who had recently re-
turned from Sweden, declared that
republican doctrine was widely
preached there and was gaining a
ready hearing.

FRENCH SUCCESS
NOT IMPORTANT,
MORAHT ASSERTS

Amsterdam, April 24-Major Moraht,
writing in the Tages Zeitung. says that
the results of the French offensive
are unimportant. Major Moraht writes:
''The possession Of single portions
of terrain, such as trenches, villages
and borders Of woods no longer plays
a decisive role in deeply echeloned
and fortified zones. The aim of the
German defense is. even at the cost
of abandoning the dead together with
war materials and portions Of posi-
tions, to maintain our own strength
while destroying that Of the enemy
and preventing him from attaining his
strategical aim, which is to break
through. For this purpose it is
necessary to keep the fighting line mo-
bile
The writer considers that by yield
ing at some points the Germans may
force their opponents to fight without
the support of their heavy artillery
and consequently expose them to de-
struction by the German infantry and
artillery fire. These tactics, he claims,
give repeated opportunities for Ger
man counter attacks, with reserves
who are outside the range Of the
enemy fire. He continues:
Tactical success in modern battles
is not judged by the gain of single
portions of terrain or the amount of
booty but depends On the complete
physical and more disorganization of
the enemy, owing to their loss of
strength through the destructive eff
feet Of artillery fire. This aim has
hitherto been fully attained by the
Germans in the gigantic struggle on
the western front.
1.-THE first and greatest attacks of
the English and French failed, being
choked by the blood Of the attackers.
Further attempts will be made to
