AN ARMY OF 100000

There have been plenty Of doubters
who few months ago said the United
States could not raise and supply an ar
my Of 5000 900 men for which the gov
erlment is now calling. In so far as they
figured on shortage Of shipping, their
gloomy forecasts will not be sustained.
With the tremendous increase of our
ship production, far exceeding sinkings
by submarines, we are going to have
plenty Of ships 1t will be no worse sup
plying the men than to take care of them
by shipments by rail.
During the Civil war the men engaged
on both sides numbered 100000. At
that time the United tSates had less than
third the population it has now, and
about one-twenty-f of the present
wealth. We would have to put 100000
men into the field to equal what our
fathers did.
The machinery Of civilization has, of
course, grown more complex. In Civil
war times more men proportionately
worked et farming and in small work
shops. They probably felt freer to leave
at the call Of the country. Those were
simpler times. People were accustomed
to get along with fewer things, and could
deny themselves with less effort.
Today in spite of all our great army
already called out, things run along with
far less disturbance than would have
been thought possible. Most of the fac
tories are running. Few people are idle.
Little complaint is heard of poverty or

WAR PROBLEMS MARCHING TO
BERLIN

The military experts, both here and in
Europe. have been divided into two par.
ties. "Easterners" and "Westerners."
The fasteners favored attacking Ger
many in the rear through Russia, Aus
tria or the Balkans. The Westerners
believed Germany is most vulnerable on
the west front where we can easiest
reach her.
The great difficulty about attack
through Austria or the Balkan PENN
sula is that the ground includes some Of
the most rugged territory in the world.
The Italians accomplished in the first
two years of their war some marvellous
feats Of mountain fighting. In the pre-
cipitous slopes Of the Alpine heights
they could advance but about 20 miles.
The Balkan peninsula is so cut up by
mountains that an offensive force would
have to advance up narrow valleys which
could be defended by relatively small
force.
There is one road for attack not yet
thoroughly tried out And that is the
southern part Of the western front, along
the border of Alsace, territory stolen 80
years ago from France by Germany.
During the first few days Of the war the
French made excellent progress into this
territory, but had to fall back since the
Germans were getting SO near Paris.
There is one rugged mountain chain, the
Nosges. Behind that the country is lev
ell. '1A w1lH
It is full Of promise for the future that
our boys seem to be taking over this part
Of the line.
A fairly strong attack could compel
the Germans to divert heavy forces from
the present fighting ground. Then it
would seem as If the main body Of Amer
icans, French and English could surely
break through in the comparatively lev
el territory Of the north over which most
Of the fighting has taken place.

they returned here and took the first
opportunity to go down and look over
