German Military Expert Believes In

Berlin (via London), March 2S.-A
great offensive against Russia to take
advantage of aer supposed demoraG-
cation is not regarded with favor by
Major Moraht the widely known mill
tary expert of the Tageblatt. Major
Moraht writes.
THE foreground of interest still lies
in the situation on the western front
From a purely military standpoint, 1
must say that for the time being no
change need be expected. Political
consideration, which our military au-
thorities must take into account, prob
ably will not be Influenced by events
in Russia. This must be emphasized
because many politicians already see
the sun of peace rising in the east. a
peace that We are to win thru oper-
atoms of force
Il would consider it wiser to give
the conflict Letween the Russian army
and the prov isional government more
chance to develop.
This weakening of our enemy can
continue without our help and yet
without precluding our attack at the
moment wher an inclination is shown
to give up resistance"

THEY CAME BACK!
Army Officers Laughingly over
worked Fat Dallas Men.
Never Expected Them to Re-
turn for Drill Next Day.
BROUGHT so MORE WITH THEM
Business Men Wouldn't BE
Bluffed Out of Service.
"Let EN- Come and Take
Texas!'' Is Their Cry.
BROUGHT so MORE WITH THEM

Dallas. Texas, March 2S.-One OF
the most striking evidences OF the
ca gerness of Dallas business men to re-
ceiye some sort of military training
is found in the fact that over 3oo nave
applied to the cal recruiting o1Ilce
for enrolment in the MONDAY drlii
SQUADS which are to begin work to-
morrow Indications are that pos
sibly that many more Will nave ap-
piled before the day ends.
Captain NJ. G. Holiday, army OFF,
Ger in charge of recruiting here, mas
appealed to former army men IN TINS
vicinity for assistance and a number
have responded.
He suggested the MONDAY drill
idea, not with the belief that it would
be possible to give thoro course or
training but because he was con-
WINGED it would be excellent prepara-
tion for the citizens training camp here
this summer.
The response was immediate-in
fact, bit too immediate for Captain
Holiday. National guard officers
passing the site selected for the drills
yesterday, saw a crowd of 100 men
assembled. who called to them to
come show us how to be soldiers"
These officers, Lieutenant Munzen-
heimer and Second Lieutenant Purinton
Immediately went to work. They de-
clared it was worth going far to see
chauffeurs and teamsters working side
by side in obedience to commands.
They Came Back.
The officers deliberately made the
work severe and laughingly predicted
that none of the bunch would come
back. But they did today, bringing
fifty more with them, and Captain
Hilliday and Sergeant Walsh had to
be summoned to assist.
General j. J. Pershing, command
ing the southwestern department OF
the army, is manifesting keen interest
in the preparation for the civilian
training camp. If possible he pur-
poses attending and taking an active
part in the work. Thousands of north
Texans have sent word they will put
in month or six weeks on the
grounds this summer.
This i, only one of the ways in
which the Texans are showing theii
patriotism, many are now outspoken
in favor of the universal military
training. Former President Taft
aroused wild enthusiasm by his first
speech in the state. He referred &c
the secret conspiracy of Germany fol-
Mexico tic re-anneX Texas, and said:
How would you Texans feel al
election time hurrahing for Car
rama"
The idea was received with wild
yells of derision But Taft persisted
How would Remember the
Alamo sound?"
| When the tumult this question had
caused died away, a man in the crow6
| yelled
"All Mexico and Germany have go
to do is come and take Texas."
After that Taft had difficulty il
making himself heard.
