Good Roads Help

American Roadbuilders At

By FREDERIC JHAskIv.

Washington. D. c.. Aug. 12.-One q
the most important tasks OF Ameri-
can engineers in France has been TO

It is estimated that aver 5000 Amer
lean engineers are now building roads
in France. and they are working with
the finest equipment that the United
States can send them-equipment
which has been the cause OF much
astonished interest among French en-
gineers. who have been used to laying
roads by hand.

that the French have seen IN UP

Information.
By WILLIAlI lie QUEUX.

London. Eng, Aug 12--The activity
OF U-boats around ireland Is. no doubt
upon the increase today. and a certain
traitorous section in Ireland still hope
that their German friends will be able
to blockade Irish ports against the
English and establish bases for Ger
man submarines.
During this week a good deal Of in
teresting information has reached me
regarding this question. Much Of it,
however, I hesitate to publish. for
obvious reasons.
But it is comforting to know that
the preca utions we are taking along
the Welsh and Irish coasts from Bel
fast Lough 10 Lands End are daily
bearing excellent fruit.
When. on Nov. S. 1914. John Mcneil
stated publicly that the Irish volun-
teers were in communication with
Germany, and were receiving great
sums Of money from Berlin. he was
laughed down as a scaremOnger.
But it has recently been revealed
by certain secret documents unearthed
during the inquiries into the doings Of
the spy, Paul Bolo, that the Germans
had already. in September 1914. es-
tablished two regular submarine serv-
ices, one from a point on the west

Can That Country Hold Its
Man Power Long at Rate
It Is Losing?

London, Eng, Aug. 12--It is a CON.
monplace Of military science that any
position can be taken by a sufficient
sacrifice OF men.
In order. however, that She precept
may be Of practical value 10 the high
command. four separate assumptions
are required
The men must be available. They
must be men who VIII face the music.
Enough Of them must survive the
slaughter 10 exploit the positions
when taken The positions them
selves must be key positions, the loss
Of which viii paralyze the enemy's
power Of resistance.
Unless those assumptions can be
made. two dangers are obviously pres
emit Either the battle may be lost
and the war with IL. or, if the battle
be won. the victory may have a very
calamitous sequel
Those are the considerations which
we have 10 bear in mind when we ask
ourselves can Germany pay the
price?
Germany's Heavy Losses.
In the war against Austria in 1866
The number of Prussians killed was
less than $500. In the Franco-Ger-
man war the number OF Germans
killed was approximately 10000 In
the RussO-Japanese war the Japa-
nese casualties were $4,000 and the
Russian casualties were $4,000.
In the present war the German
losses have been so heavy that the
publication OF casualty lists was sus-
pended u months ago. In Nay. 1917,
however. the German var office adj
mitted a net loss--killed. died OF

likely TO return 20 the fighting line

196.923.
II we could bring the figures up
10 date and make a just allowance for
the notorious German practice Of sup
pressing or delaying reports Of losses. !
we should probably find that at least
100000 men-and probably more
had been put out OF action since Au-
gust. 1914. That is TO say that the
Germans have, for four years. been
losing men at the rate Of ], 600. 900 a
year; while the number of Germans
