cations, which were totally inadequate
! would also have been extended. Our
! neglect in that respect was, in any
| case, a great mistake. The Triple
alliance was only a political union,
! while the Franco Russian alliance
was Of definitely military character,
| and this constituted a great advantage
to our enemies
Even our arrangements with Aus
| tria- Hungary in the event of joint
war We're of the poorest. General
| Count Won Schieffen always feared a
| breach of faith which indeed actually
occurred. a scheme of mutual oper-
atoms existed only in the toughest
outlines.
! The deployment of the Austro- Hun
garian armies on the further side of
| the River San was justified only if
they felt themselves superior to the
Russian army without outside help, as
many Austro-H Hungarian officers be-
lieved, or if we could cross the River
Narew simultaneously with strong
forces. But this we We're not in a
position to do, as the last army bill
had not granted us the three extra
army corps for which the general
staff had hoped
Further, we now had also to make
up on the western front for Italys
defalcation. According to former
military engagements with Italy,
three Italian army corps and two cav
airy divisions were to help in Alsace
whilst the main body of the army
minus the coast defense forces, were
to be assembled on the Franco Italian
frontier. simultaneously the fleet was
to endeaVor to cut France off from
her colonies in North Africa.
These arrangements were in force
for some time-but subsequently,
lapsed. Then at the express wish of
General Polio. chief of the Italian
general staff, these plans were once
more worked at.
General Polio died in the summer
of 19l4-shortly before the out
break of war. There was not the
least necessity for France to leave
even a single soldier on her south
east frontier; she could employ every
soldier against us. for she knew per-
fectly well that Italy would not come
into the war on our side.
Our former ally thus did us untold
harm. Her attitude toward England
was not to be misunderstood Animos-
ity certainly existed between Italy and
Austria Hungary, but although this
was of long standing, it did not pre-
vent Italy entering into an alliance
with us and Austria Hungary. This |
alliance brought Italy many advan-
tages, and we naturally expected that
she would feel under an obligation
to u.s.
a healthy national egoism is easy
to understand, and is found in every |
nation. But there are certain ethical |
laws which must not be violated, and |
that is precisely what Italy did. So
she cannot complain of the adverse
criticism we levelled at her during the |
four years of war.

EXERCISE OR SLIP BACK,

In speaking of the official bulletins
of President Wilson'S illness, local
physician the other day remarked
that it contained an object lesson for
every business and professional man
who is not combining with his daily
routine a due proportion of mental
and physical recreation.

highly beneficial results. Before our

Wilson was accustomed to visit the

walks, with Mrs. Wilson as his COM

KING SHOWING ENGINEERS.

A dispatch the other day told how
King Albert of Belgium ran the loco
motive Of his own train for ten miles.
The sovereign. who, it is said, has a
thorough knowledge of locomotive
engineering, ran the heavy train
without a jolt. Then he stopped it
smoothly and returned to his car"
Some persons whose business neees-
states considerable travelling can't
help wishing King Albert would as
sumo the role of instructor for Amer
lean engineers, or at least for those
who pilot the particular trains on
which they have to journey. for it is
certain that many of the men at the
throttle have not acquired skill in
starting and stopping without series
of jolts and jerks that add much to
the discomfort and fatigue of railway
travel in this country.
The jolting is especially annoying
to those who travel at night in the So
called sleeping" cars. Excellence of
roadbed does not seem able to obviate
the discomfort. Is it a lack of care
fulness or of skin on the part Of en-
gineers? 1t may be said that heavy
steel coaches are responsible for the
annoyance, but it would seem that
there should be some way to mitigate
the invarabIe jolting.
Perhaps King Albert is coaching en-
gineers.

Intention, but it was already too late
to put it into execution.
On the 1ith of September we were

satisfaction over our victory and
splendid achievements. All the great
err was my surprise at my appoint
ment as chief of staff of the southern
army, which was being formed under
General Won Schubert at Breslau
In the west the German advance
had ended in retreat.
The right wing of the German
force in the west was too weak and
did not extend far enough; the with
drawal of the Guard reserve corps
and this 18th army corps (sent to him
early in September to help him defeat
Rennenkampf) had made itself felt
with fatal results
OF course this wing should have
been strengthened by corps drawn
from Lorraine and Alsace. That was
provided in General Count Won Schief-
fen's plan. tThis criticism is levelled
at the policy which kept the crown

Further, it was quite contrary to his
plan to let the German forces there
advance so far forward against the
Luneville- Epinal line and be com
pletely held up.
That would have been the fate of
the entire army IT, instead of advanc-
ing through Belgium, we had kept
our right wing south of Longwy.
Whilst we were bleeding to death be-
fore the fortresses on the Verdun-
Belfort line, our right wing would
have been attacked from Belgium and
beaten by the combined Belgian
French and English armies At the
same time we should have lost our
industrial region on the Lower Rhine
Our ultimate defeat would have been
certain.

Berlin's Optimism ill-Fouudcd.
1t was obvious that the war would
now continue for q long time and re-
quire enormous sacrifices of the faith
erland. The hour had come when
everything, literally everything, would
have to be staked on the war, and the
work of enlightening our people
would have to be undertaken on a
large scale.
I was astonished at the optimism
I found prevailing in Berlin toward
the end of October 1914. There
seemed to be no realization of the
tremendous gravity of our situation.
1t was nothing less than fatality.

We now had to face the prospect
that in the course of the war the
training of the armies would become
equalized to a certain extent. although
it was reasonable to hope that the
German army would long maintain a
certain advantage over the others in
virtue of its great traditions. The
heavy losses in officers might be a
serious matter, At all events, it was
essential that we should do all in our
power to maintain our superiority in
training, so that the superiority in
men might not be felt so much.
In particular. we had to face the
prospect that England would make
use of the time to increase her arma-
ments and raise a powerful army in
addition to her fleet. She had quite

ducing the number of battalions in a
division from twelve to nine and form
ing fresh divisions out of the bat

its complement of artillery and special

many directions we did not do enough.

Deep down in our hearts every one
of us is more or less of a hero wor-
shipper. We may not exhibit it in
the extreme, we may even refuse to
acknowledge it. But nevertheless our
heart goes out to the man who has
done big things. who has overcome
handicaps. who has risen above the
mass and climbed to the pinnacle We
dream of.
And every man of exceptional abil-
ity and attainment is flooded with re-
quests for advice from enthusiasts
who ache to know how he did it. how
he got there, what his plans We're
what their chances are and all the
other questions that spring of hope
and ambition and desire for the high
er things of life.
And if he is as big as his success
implies he answers every single re-
quest-whether stamps are enclosed
or not--unlike a certain famous wri-
ter, who, when asked what he did

Roads Lose Fare Case
In Court of appeals
Special Corresponsercs

Special Correspondence
ALBANY, Oct. 21.-The Court Of APP
peals to-day reaffirmed its decision Of
eighteen months ago that the Public
Service Commission has no power to
increase street railway fares fixed BY
franchise agreements. The decision
means that the traction interests have
lost their fight of five years for the
right to boost trolley rates. Their oniy
recourse now is another effort in the
next Legislature to pass the trolley
fare increase bill, which was beaten at
the last session.
The first decision WAS given by the
court in the famous Quinby Rochester
fare case. A motion for reargument
was made. in which both the Public
Service Commission and CORPORATION
Counsel Burr of New York intervened,
The court denied the motion, holding
that no new facts had been presented,
The court stated that the case was de-
clded eighteen months ago by holding
that the Public Service Commission
had not been given the power on ap-
plication of the railroad to regulate
and increase rates of fare on street
railroads when such rates were fixed
as condition to the consent of the
authorities to the operation of the
road"
William P. Capes, secretary of the
Mayors conference, said tonight that
the decision confirmed the contention
of the city officials that only cities can
permit fare increases where rates are
fixed by franchise agreements.
