RESOURCEFULNESSOF OF
 AMERICANS SHOWN
Republican A. p. Leased wirel

WITH THE AMERICAN ARMY IN FRANCE, Dec. 15.-Here are two stor- ies showing how American officers in France get things done. An artillery battery commander, having received orders to transfer his command by rail loaded the men and their equip ment and then discovered that no en- zine was attached to the train and none appeared available At that mo- ment a small freight engine arrived in the yard and it's engineer and fireman at first protesting, obeyed the com
 manders orders to take out the ar tf1lery trains. This engine proving not
 powerful enough to move the heavy
 load, it was permitted to proceed on it's regular freight run.
 A few minutes later. a passenger
 train arrived with a much more power full engine. This one was cheerfully commandeered by the American officer and a. the result his organization was transported on time. Available records
 do not indicate whether that trains passengers have gone forward as yet.
 The second incident occurred the day before Thanksgiving, but has just come to light. An officer. under orders to
 see that the necessary quantity of cranberries reached his commander in time for the holiday dinner discovered | that no freight train service was
 available. The barrels could not be moved by express so the American ' bought passenger tickets, had the bar rels trundled into the compartment of 1 the car and arranged in the previously | reserved seats before the astOnished
 railway officials. The officer made his cranberry delivery in time for the i dinner.

 You are business men and you say. 'This Is all well enough, but what does 1t mean? If everybody is to stop buy ing non- essentials business will be wrecked.

HOW A DEMOCRACY
PREPARES FOR WAR
Andre Chevrillon's Book About
England Applies With Equal
Force to America

When a Frenchman sets out to explain
a situation he does It with a brilliant clarity
that is the despair Of Anglo-Saxon writer's
When the Frenchman is an expert he leaves
nothing to be desired after he has finished
his task Andre Chevrilon is such an ex-
pert. Ee is a mature student Of politics
who has written much. Therefore It Is
not surprising that Rudyard Kiplng says
of one of the chapters in Chevrillon's Eng
land and the War" that 1t is nearer the
root Of the matter than anything yet written
by an Englishman. Chevrilon wrote the
chapters that constitute the book as a series
of articles in the Revue de Paris in order
to explain to the French why the English
were so slow in getting into action.
The British democracy so closely re-
sembles that of America that If Mr.. Chevril-
lon should substitute America" for Eng
iand' in his discussion large parts of his
book would aptly describe what has been
going on here for the past year or more. AS
an exposition of how a democracy makes
war II Is more Illuminating than anything
that has ever before been written. Every
member Of Congress ought to read it and
II should be read by the Governor of every
state and by every person who has any in
huence whatever on public opinion or on
the action of Government This Is so for
the reason that democracies cannot make
war after the manner of an autocracy
Public sentiment is the supreme power
Government cannot act faster than the will
of the people themselves, whose agents the
Government is.
The British theory of the independence
of the individual and his right to act in ac-
cordance with his individual judgment
coupled with the ancient British tradition
that 1t is the duty of the Englishman to
defend his rights by force of arms II need

act for nearly three years. Three million
Englishmen volunteered to fight in the
armies moved by the compelling sense of
duty The enlistment campaigns were con-
Quoted very much after the manner of re-
ligious revival meetings, and the volunteers
came forward as II they were converts The
genius of the British race found expression
in this way.
The slowness with which public senti.
ment crystallized, however. hampered the
Government. 1t knew what must be doue
but 1t could not do It without the support
OF the nation. This Is equally true in
America. The Administration In Wash.

the Asquith Government suffered In the be-

is widely read and carefully digested the
task of the Government in Washington will

OFFICIAL INSPECTION
OF CAMP MEADE SUNDAY
Lieutenant Colonel Lytell, With Staff,
to Make Morning Trip From
Washington

BALTIMORE, Md, July 2s-Lieutenant
Colonel l. w. Lytcl, of the quartermaster S
department Of the United States army who
has charge of the construction Of all the
cantonment3 in the country, Is expected to
visit Camp Meade at Admiral, Md, to-
morrow with his staff on an inspection trip.
The official will leave Washington come
time early in the forenoon probably in an
automobile for the Maryland camp.
Major W. w. Crosby. Of the Engineers
Corps. was at brigade headquarters in the
Maryland Trust Building today with a
report on the progress that is being made
at Camp Meade. He told of his findings
to Brigadier General Char.es D. Gather
and Adjutant General Henry NJ Warneld
Two points stood out in the report Of
Major Crosby, one dealing with how the
army engineers and contractors are hurry
ing building construction by the assembly
process and the other showing that the pine
thicket trouble is being met by the use
of American tractors, which made the Brit
ish tank such a marked success in trench
warfare. Thicket roots are being scat
tered by use of the tractor, Major Crosby
said, to clear the way for the parade
ground.
There are 900 buildings to be erected at
Camp Meade. where the Pennsylvania
drafted men will be sent for training, and
one Of the biggest problems that the con-
tractors for the Government have to meet
with is the construction of these buildings
in time TO care for the men who will 20
into the trenches. 1t is to meet this prob
lem that the Government contractors and
engineers on the ground agreed upon the
assembly plan.
1t Is the same plan adopted by the max
ers of popular priced automobiles.

What Hindenburg Is Like

Perhaps a more interesting portrait of
General Won Hndenburg never has been
presented for public inspection than that
offered by j. NJ. de Beaufort In his book,
Behind the German Veil"
De Beaufort's chronicle is a record of
a journalistic war pilgrimage into places
difficult TO penetrate and at present no
longer visited by any save those of Teu-
tome sympathy.
His impression Of the man in whose re-
sourCefulness Germany's military hopes
are Graded, as he says. may be summed
up in two words, "strer~-sh' and cruelty"
Writes de Beaufort: His whole PERSONAL
ity radiates strength, brute. animal strength
Until | met Hindenburg / always thought
the eyes of the Mexican rebel Villa were
the most cruel | had ever seen. They are
mild compared with those Of Hindenburg
Never in my life have I seen such hard,
cruel. nay, such utterly brutal eyes as
those of Hindenburg" Aside from that,
and the fact that the general has a habit
of looking at one as though he believed
not a word said to him, and several other
unpleasant characteristics, the German mil
itary genius Is quite a pleasant person
One of the stories De Beaufort tells of him
concerns his rage at finding that the Rus
slams had poured paraffin over bread they
knew would fall into the hands of the
enemy. After his rage Won Hindenbure
Gained down sufficiently to say. Very we'll
give 1t to the Russian prisoners" Which
proves he has a sense of humor accord
ing to the Germanic idea.
The author has many other interesting
accounts of great men Of the German EN-
pire. One Of these includes the uniqu,
experience Of going to church with tn,
Kaiser to hear prayers petitioning tn,
Almighty to look with favor on the German
arms Also he tells Of his visits to eacl
of the principal shipbuilding and armamen
