4sWHO STARTED THE WAR %'

Perhaps the vast majority of China
men are not acquainted with the is
sues of the great war which is now
engaging the more civilized nations:
perhaps millions of them don't even
know that there is a war going on.
But it is certain that those who do
are thinking their own little thinks
and are figuring out for themseles lust
how it all started. The following, for
instance,'is the text of young China
mans summary of the events which
led up to the war:
Now there is a great battle in Eu-
rope. This began because the Prince
OF Austria went to Serbia with his
wife. One man of Serbia skilled him.
Austria was angry and so write to
Serbia
Germany. write a letter to Austria,
ST will help you"
Russia write a letter to Serbia, IT
will help you.''
France did not want to- fight, but
they got ready their soldiers.
Germany write letter to France,
You don't get ready. or I will fight
you in nine hours"
Germany to pass them, pass Bel
GUM.
Belgium says: 81 am country; !
ara not road" And Belgium write
a letter to England about Germany to
help them.
So England help Belgium.
If you think you are so smart and
can explain the events that led UP
to the war SO much better than this
Chinaman, go ahead and try it!

PERSHINC Zone
TO Be FOUNDED
ON FIRING Line
Will Start at Trenches and
Extend Back to Ameri-
can French Base

The "Pershing Zone will soon be
a fact. A slittle stripe of the United
States is going to extend across
France from the American base on
the French coast. to the front line
American trenches.
After a detailed investigation of the
system established by the British and
French, General Pershing has decid-
ed to establish q complete, Americana
controlled line of communications.
The business of maintaining an
army at the front is like running
small nation continually subjected to
a series of earthquakes, devastating
fires, floods famines. plague and
sudden death. It is carefully plan
ned effort to meet the unexpected.
I will undertake to describe as
clearly as possible in the limited
space allowed to me the method of
carrying on this great business.
General Pershing's army at the
front must spend it's entire time and
attention on the business of fighting
the enemy But behind the army at
the front is another army whose bus
mess it is to keep the army at the
front in condition to fight.
j. And the commander of this "arny
behind the army"--whose name
probably will never be mentioned in
dispatches--is, next to General Per-
shing himself, the most important
man on French soil today. His mod
est title is Commander of the Line
of Communications" The zone which
he commands embraces strip of ter
ritory from and including the base, to
the point where contact is made with
the trains Of the cornbatant forces on
the front.
This is the circulatory system of
Pershing's army. It's railroad "arter-
les pump forward the food, clothing,
ammunition, tools and equipment
needed at the front; and ITS t'veins''
Of steel rail back to the heart, at
the base the sick and wounded, the
worn out guns for refitting, the wag-
ons that must be repaired, and the
empty vehicles which must be refill
ed and sent pulsing forward again.
Before a single one of Pershing's
fighters landed in France, groups Of
staff corps men from every technical
branch of the army went with Perish
ing ahead to make all arrangements
for receiving, supplying and forward
ing the troops. The result is the
"Pershing zone In France"
; How does this zone work?
The commander of the line of COM
munications will organize it into
three administrative units: (a) Sup
ply sanitary and telegraph service;
(b) service Of military railways"

Rear Admiral Washington Lee
Capps chosen by President Wilson TO
succeed General Goethals as general
manager of the Emergency Fleet COR
poration. has won distinction as chief
CONSTRUCTOR Of the navy department
and is credited with being largely re-
sponsible for the development OF the
American dreadnaught. The skele-
ton, or basket, mast was one of his
ideas for the improvement of fight
ing vessels, it is said.
Rear Admiral Capps was born in
Portmouth, Va, in 1864, and was
graduated from the Naval Academy
in 1884. He was appointed assistant
naval constructor in 1888 and was
promoted to naval constructor in
1895. He was stationed at the
Brooklyn navy yard from 1889 to 1892
and with the bureau of construction
and repair in Washington from 1892
to 1895. He was on the staff of Ad-
mira1 Dewey in 1898-99, and from
1901 to 1903 he was head of the con-
struction department of the Brook
lyn navy yard. In the latter year he
became chief constructor of the navy
and chief Of the bureau Of construc-
ton and repair, with the rank of rear
admiral In 1910 he resigned from
that post and received permanent
commission as. chief constructor. In
1913 he was appointed by President
Wilson to represent the United States
at the international maritime confer

assigned by the commanding general
for the purpose. Within the Amer

proper authority, keep a list and de-

back from the front and conduct
them to the place where they are or

stations. depots and buildings, pro-
tect telegraph and telephone lines

n This elaborate organisation is de-
signed to relieve the combatant field
force as far as possible from every
consideration except that of defeat
ing the enemy. Without it, Persh-
ing's men in the front line could not
exist, and fight for a single day.
