GERMANY FILLING
FIGHTING RANKS
WITH BOYS
BIZ HENRY WOOD.
Omitted Press staR Correspondent)

WITH THE FRENCH ARMIES. July
25-(By MaiD-Germany's last I'M
touched sources of man power have now
been completely exhausted.
To fill up the constant losses in her
hghting ranks. amounting to hundreds
Of thousands monthly. only two sources
remain from which she can draw her
boy soldiers of the classes of 1913 ana
1919, all called TO the colors from one
to two years before their regular mill
tary age. and the wounded soldiers who
are able to return to the front from the
hospitals. This latter category furn-
ishes Germanw al average of $4,000
men per month.
These facts are established beyond
all doubt by authoritative information
from various confirmatory sources.
With the older classes called, to the
colors with the outbreak of the war
now largely wiped out. Germany is max
ing terrible inroads on her boy classes
premature1y called 10 the front since
August, 1914. These youths are being
used to fill up the ranks of the infantry
where young, vigorous and enthusiastic
soldiers are indispensable for the
launching of attacts. It is here that
the greatest losses also occur.
The German infantry at the present
time consists closely TO 40 per cent OF
the young classes of 1915 to 1919 The
classes of 1915 and 1916. both Of which
are rapidly dwindlng. furnish IS pei

cent OF the infantry in the fighting
lines. The class of 1917 which is now
entirely under the colors furnishes an
other II to Is per cent. while the class
Of 1918, which is now arriving on the
front in large numbers furnishes an
other TO 10 per cent. The remainder
Of this class which is still in the de-
pots constitutes practically the only
reserves which Germany has left
To meet this emergency the class Of
1919 is now under instruction while the
class of 1920 has already been examin-
ed for conscription.
The military age in Germany is 20
years. In the case Of the class Of 1915.
il was not called 10 the colors until
April Of that year or at the age theo-
retically, of 20 years and months The
class OF 1916 was called to the coIors at
the age of 10 years 81 months, and the
class of 1917 called at 10 years .

10i months, and the class of 1919 at 1s
years and months. The class of 1920.
although already examined. has not yet
been summoned
The pressure under which Germany
has been forced to employ these boy
soldiers is also indicated by their per-
iods Of instruction. The class Of 1915
was thrown into the battle front with
only two or three months Of instruS-
ton. but with such terrible losses.
caused by this inexperience, that even
Germany was forced to recognize that
il was the costliest economy
The classes Of 1915 and 1917 were
given instruction ranging from nine TO
ten months. While this gave better re-
cults yet by the time the class of 1918
was called to the colors, Germany was
again in such desperate straits for men
that the boys of this class were brou ght
into the front again with only three
months of instruction.
The accuracy of the above figures is
confirmed in every capture of prisoners
large enough to make a basis of com

PLUM PUDDING BOY
BY VILLA BLAINE.

1t was not without a struggle with
his pride that Harry Tilston decided to
make his plum puddings the summer
after he graduated from college. He
had not decided as yet on his future
career, but since any kind Of a start
in business as well as the law studies
that he sometimes contemplated, was
more or less dependent upon the pos
session Of some amount Of capital, he
accepted his mothers proposition to
make plum puddings.
It wasn't because Harry was exactly
dshaned Of plum puddings that he
had hesitated-it was because Of
Genevieve and IIarriette and Mildred
and Laura-girls in general rather
than any girI-in particular.
Bradley, the small town where Harry
rilson had been brought. up, boasted
no very definite younger social set,
but, so long us there were pretty girls
like Mildred Brewer and Laura
Stevens in town, and any young un-
married men, there was sure to be an
occasional picnic down the river, an
evening entertainment" Sunday aft

buggy rides into the adjacent coun-
ties.
In other years, on Harry Tilson's
short visits home in vacation time, he
had figured rather prominently in
these diversions. He wondered wheth-
er Laura and Mildred and the other
girls would be Inclined TO laugh at him
if he made plum pudding.
