French War Secrets

France is beginning to lift the lid
on her military secrets. The failure
of General Nivelles offensive of
April, 1917, northeast of Scissors,
has always been a subject Of official
mystification and extravagant ru-
mors. Nivelle was removed from
the command Of the French armies
because of his non-success. For a
long time many people in France
accepted the legend that his opera
ton, though full of promise, had
been called off because of the pro-
tests of members of the Chamber of
Deputies, who visited the front and
were appalled, by the French losses.
M. Painleve was Secretary of War
in Ribot's Cabinet when the Second
Battle of the Aisne was fought. He
said, the other day, in a speech in
the Chamber that Nivelle's assaults
failed because the Germans had capt
ured French officer, whose papers
disclosed the French commanders
plans. Ludendorff concentrated ma.
chine guns at the main points of at
tack and moved down the assailants.
The French lost $4,000 men killed in
ten days fighting-not $4,000, as
earlier reports stated.
This heavy loss undoubtedly in.
spired the complaint of the poilus
that Nivelle had attacked without
adequate artillery preparation. 1t
was rumored in 1917 that some
French divisions went on a passive
strike as a protest against such un-
necessary sacrifice.
Certainly grave decentralization
followed the collapse of the Aisne
offensive. French historians, like
General Zurlinden, were allowed by
the censor to tell of the raising of
the red flag by q body Of troops
which marched on the Scissors sta
ton, intending to seize trains and &c
to Paris.
General Petain's appointment to
succeed Nivelle checked this spirit of
unrest. The soldiers had faith in
him and he succeeded in reorganiz-
ing the army and putting it in
shape for the greater tests of 1918
For France 1917 was the critical
year of the war. 1t was the year OF
the Defeatist intrigues and of un-
usual instability in the Chamber of
Deputies. 1t marked reaction fol-
lowing the strain in 1916 at Verdun
and the Sommc.
The French government was
prudent in concealing, as far as DOS.
sible, the extent of Nivelle's set.
back. But that setback had it's com.
pensations in the fact that it opened
the way to Petain's promotion anc
to a larger utilization of the genius
Of Marshal Foch.

Closing Up Our Mines

If there is a coal strike the coun-
try will finally beat it. The fuel
which is the life blood of industry
is in the mines and will be lifted.
The coal measures can't be long
locked up.
A coal strike would be beaten as
Germany was. The miner, like the
Prussian, thinks power is in his
hands. But it isn't. The black treas
ures are the public c's-part of the
dover of nature. No set Of mine
owners would be allowed arbitrarily
TO close them up, nor may any other
set of men.
But it cost to Subdue Germany,
and it would cost to subdue her
imitators. Millions Of other work
ers would lose employment as
wheels stopped. But they would
mobilize. The instinct of self-pres-
ervation would drive them, even as
it does water crazy cattle when they
scent a stream, to overwhelm all OBJ
structlons.
What would the miners gain by
AN attempt to lay an embargo?
What the Germans gained. The say
ingS of prosperous years would be
quickly consumed. If the miners
withheld the fuel, other persons
would not benevolently give them
something for nothing. The miner
swaps coal for other commodities.
Depriving himself of his stock in
trade, his larder would soon be
empty. The contest would only super
ficially be between the mine owners
and their employees. 1t would be a
Waf between two great social groups,
one of which is greatly in the ma
jority and has the greater reserves
of power.
Various relations are adjusted on
the theory that there are some
things men are not fools enough to
do. We concede such things as the
ownership of property and the right
to stop work in the belief that obli-
cations incident to privileges will
be respected. But when the assump-
tion proves baseless its derivatives
fall. The truth begins to emerge
that persons associated with the
production and distribution of the
great life sustaining commodities
and services may not abuse power
confided TO them. They invalidate
their so-called rights when they en-
ploy them in manner to destroy
the very ends the rights are recog-
nized to promote.
If the miners have aught to COM
plain of in the way of inadequate
compensation there are means al
hand to hear and adjust the griev
ance. Nothing in the recent recor(
of the country suggests that the
men need fear grave injustice. II
view of this a threat on the fringe
of winter to introduce & fuel famine
is as if some malevolent agency, pos
sessing the ability to rot the gath
cred harvest and to bring death tt
all the cattle, should declare its
purpose to employ it.

Via Mexico

Here, then, is the German national
army of tomorrow in embryo. The
authorities are going about the bust
ness Of making it ready with little care
to hide what they are doing. Since the
budget of the Ministry of War is ex-
amined by the Allies, various expendi-
lures necessary to the new army are
borne on the books of other depart
ments of state. For instance, when the
great General Staff was dissolved, the
transport service passed unchanged
under the control of the Ministry Of
Railways and the geographic section
under the Ministry of the Interior.
And munitions?
This is the news that reaches Paris
from Vienna:
THE Germans intend to send into
Mexico, one Of the few countries which
did not declare war against them, 250,-
900 men, there to erect munition fac
tories and to engage in the manufact-
IRE of war material. The peace treaty
forbids Germany to manufacture mu-
nitions in Germany, but not elsewhere"
Also: "The Krupp factories, which
can no longer make guns, are turning
out forty locomotives day"

A PSALM OF LABORING LIFE

A PSALM OF LABOR1NG LIFE
Tell me not, in doctored numbers,
Life is but name for work!
For the labor that encumbers
Me l wish that l could shirk.
Life is phony! Life is rotten!
And the wealthy have no soul:
Why should you be picking cotton?
Why should 1 be mining coal?
Not employment and not sorrow
Is my destined end or way;
But to act that each tomorrow
Finds me idler than to-day.
Work is long, and plutes are lunching;
Money is the thing l crave;
But my heart continues punching
Funeral time clocks to the grave.
In the worlds uneven battle.
In the swnde known as life.
Be not like the stockyards cattle
Stick your partner with knife
Trust no Boss, however pleasant.
Capital is but q curse!
Strike, strike in the living present!
Fill, oh fill, the bulging purse!
Lives of strikers all remind us
We can make our lives a crime.
And departing, leave behind us
Bills for double overtime.
Charges that, perhaps another,
Working for a stingy ten
Bucks day, some mining brother
Seeing, shall walk out again.
Let us, then, be up and striking.
Discomfort with all of it;
Still undoing, still disliking,

German army plans formed the sub

many means to have great national
army. What is more, she has actually
available no fewer than 100000 men,
exactly double the number officially ad-
mtted by Minister of War Noskc This
force of 100000 is made up of the six
divisions under General Won der Goltz
in Esthona, of dcpots of the old field
army not yet demobilized, of the official
Reichswehr, and finally of corps which
have been created in the various great
centres of the country under the name
of Freiwillige, on the plea that they
arc necessary for the maintenance Of
order.
The general plan Of the Germans, as
has been already explained, is to use
the 100000 Reichswehr allowed them
/ by the treaty of peace as the frame
work of a great national force that
can be called to the colors at any mo-
ment desired. So that we have this

corps which are springing up in all
parts of Germany. The Volkswehr of
the revolution have to-day become the
Einwohnerwehr, sort of bourgeois ma
tonal guard. The force has changed
its name, and perhaps its spirit, but it
is nevertheless still composed of men
who-though they do not wear uniform
keep their arms at home, and are
marshalled into companies, battalions
and regiments during their periods of
training.
4 Framework
Under the German plan the distinct
i've names and separate character of
these reserves" would disappear when
the call sounded. They would then go
to fill out the "cadres" waiting for
them. First of these "cadres" is the
Reichswehr of 100000 men, then there
is the special police force known as
Sicherheits-P Polizei, and finally, in great
number, come the regimental unions
and the veteran societies, known, re
spectively, as Regimentsvereine and
Kriegenvereine.
Let there be no doubt of the ability
of the Reichswehr to act as the frame
work of a force thus called into being.
1t is known that the private soldiers of
the Reichswehr include no fewer than
10000 n-commissioned officers of the
old German army, of service ranging
from seven to eleven years. What is
true Of the Reichswehr is also true Of
the Sicherheits-P Polizei, which is formed d
in large measure of former non-coms
The Berlin police alone includes 200
such men, and in large numbers OF
towns all over the country the Sicher-
heits-Polizei is strongly organized ant
has the cohesion and the military value
of a regiment. More by token, it is
armed with machine guns, with cam
ions, with armored cars, with flame
throwers, asphyxiating gas and all the
other concomitants of modern war.
