The latter. his cheeks scarlet, reeled
and clutched at the table.
His first impulse was TO hit back
but, with self-possession, he drew him
self up. clicked his heels together and
salutcd without q word.
The kaiser. his face white as paper,
turned and leff the cabin.
l stood aghast.
"Well.' exclaimed Rudolph at last,
she shall pay for that blow, even
though he be emperor 80 and he strobe
out. leaving me speechless with sur
prise.
A few minutes later l assembled to
the deck in order 10 refresh my mud
died senses. I was walking up the
deck when suddenly I saw before me
several Of the personal suite, who sa-
luted as the kaiser, naughty and erect,
passed with quick, angry step.
As he approached l saw a figure
emerge and stand in his path. 1t was
that of Won Lantzsch.
The kaiser lifted his hand, and, with
some imperious words. struck the man
who stood in his path.
In a second Won Lantzsch. In a fury
Of passion, raised his fist, planting q
direct blow at the emperor's jaw and
sending him spinning against somt
deck chairs.
Wild shouts arose from the officers
who had been chatting near. W o
whom rushed towards the emperor
but the latter had instantly recovered
himself. and with a grim smile con
tlnued his walk and went below.
Naturally we all expected the hus
sar captain to be put under arrest
But he was not. He entered my cabil

IndisputabIy the Most Terrible
Instrument of Defense,
Says Observer.
Big GUNS OFTEN INACCURATE
While Necessary in Offensive Warfare
Heavy Artillery Is Not in Same
Class With Machine Guns
in Defensive Tactics.
BY A FRENCH SOLDIER.



Paris.-Alonths of furious assault on
the French lines at Verdun, which
have brought into play the most pow
erful known means Of attack, have
barely succeeded in bending the ad-
v~ersary's lines. There is, il is true, a
diminution of forces on both sides, and
one may look forward TO the day when
the accumulation Of material and the
superiority In numbers of men on the
side of the allies will enable the latter
to break more rapidly the a~dyersary's
tenacious resistance.
But why is ii, one asks. that despite
the accumulation of heavy cannon 1t
costs so much In men and money and
time to break the enemy's resistancel
II is because this war Is being fought
In a period of development Of the art
Of war, In which the means OF defense
are vastly superior to the means or
offense in the facility with which they
can be brought into action and manu-
featured at low cost, and above all In
their efficacy. arising both from the
difficulty which the adversary finds In
demolishing them. and from the aoso-
Lutte accuracy Of their aim.
Means Of Defense.
To understand this one has merely
TO review the means of defense at the
disposal Of the armies in the field
First. besides the trenches, and the
barbed wire that prevents access to
them. which are the basis Of the pres
ent system Of defense, and Of which
the she'll hole wherein the soldier con.
