2,e2a, 900 GERMANS IN ARMY.
Estimate Made by French Observers At
tho Battle Front.

ExtlW1ko HoGo uy FFSUCH OUsSSv"S -
tho Battle Front.
Indications on the French front show
that the strength OF the German forces
totaled ON April l 219 divisions. each
comprising maximum Of from 10000
to 1900 combatants.
OF these divisions 143 faced the
French and British. but only ninety
nine were In the actual line, the others
being held In strategic reserve. The
remaining seventy six divisions were
then on the Russian. Roumanian and
Macedonian fronts Many OF the stra-
tegic reserve divisions have since been
thrown into line and, owing to losses.
were later sent to the rear for recon-
stitution.
At the maximum Of 1900 men to
division and 2l9 divisions the German
army would consist Of 2,62S,o0o men.
With seventy six divisions there would
be $4,000 men on the eastern and
Balkan fronts. This would leave
I,1SS. 900 Germans actually on the fight
ing line In the west, with $4,000 men
in the strategic reserve.
Since the arrival OF the British and
French missions In Washington 1t has
been understood there that the en-
tente has under arms In France 8.OOO,-
100 men, OF whom at least 100000 can
be rated as combatants In the line and
the strategic reserve.

MAKING HIGH EXPLOSIVES.
Dangers Of Poisoning to Which the
Workers Are Exposed.

dangers OF POISONING 10 Which tne
Workers Are Exposed.
The making of modern munitions Of
war has brought into prominence sew
eral types of Industrial diseases hith-
erto almost unknown.
One Of the most troublesome OF these
is that commonly known as 1T. N. I.
poisoning" due to exposure to the
fumes of tri-nitro-toluol or to the In
halation of dust generated In mixing
certain high explosives of which it
forms q constituent.
Unusual drowsiness, frontal head
ache and eczema are the first symp-
toms of T. n T. poisoning, and work
ers SO affected are promptly given
some other occupation, when the symp-
toms quickly disappear.
Less dangerous, but very trouble
come, Is tetryl poisoning. Manipula-
ton Of this explosive produces light
dust, which gets into the mouth, nose
and eyes and sets up a painful sore
ness, accompanied By headache, nau-
sea and an almost intolerable itching.
Curiously enough, individuals vary
very considerably In their susceptible
lily to tetryl poisoning. Some workers
are not all affected by 1t or only In a
very slight degree. while others can
hardly enter a room in which It h be-
Ing handled without suffering severely.
Luckily tetryl poisoning does not en-
danger life. nor are the symptoms In
any case SO severe as those due to T.
N. T. poisoning. Tetryl possesses the
annoying property, however, Of stain
ing the skin and hair yellow, but
means have been found of largely
countcracting this II the workers care
to avail themselves Of them.
Other industrial diseases of similar
nature more or less prevalent In NUM-
ton works are due to handling fulmi-
nate Of mercury, to exposure to the
fumes of substance known as tetra-
chlorethane, to inhalation Of various
other noxious fumes and dust gene
rated In the workshops by the differ
ent processes carried on there and also
from lead poisoning.
Yet another danger the munition
worker is exposed to Is acute poison
Ing due to the accidental escape Of
nitrous fumes into the work places
Many OF these cases are apt to termi-
nate fatally, for the gas is extremely
deadly.-pearson's Weekly.

The Hand of Mexico.

1t is apparent that the proposal had
taken definite form when Zubaran re-
turned to Mexico City from Berlin re-
Gently. His return from his foreign
post was covered by the fact that Car
rama had called in many of his diplo-
mats for conferences"
1t was declared by high japanese
authority on Wednesday night that If
the German proposal of an alliance
ever reached Tokyo it was regarded as
merely a new ebullition of German
"kultur" and that it was thrown in the
waStebasket where il belonged.
He asserted no such proposal had
been made to the embassy here and
that If it had been no attention would
have been paid to 1t.
He said: 1.-THE whole idea was abso-
lutely preposterous."
In order to make an alliance with
Germany, he added, it would be neces-
sary for Japan to break from the allies
and negotiate a separate peace with
the Teutonic powers. But above all
that, he said, the japanese sincerely
desired friendly relations with the
United States.
