reasonable to hope that the German army would long maintain a certain advantage over the others in virtue of 1t great traditions. The heavy losses in officers might be 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 here armaments and raise 8 powerful army in addition to her fleet. She had quite enough men.
 In view of this we could not neglect any means that might still enable us to win the war.
 Germany had to become an armed camp. That was the burden of the New Years message I sent to . news paper on Januafy 1, 1915.
 In the autumn of 1914 and the winter of 1914-15 general headquarters had raised from eighteen to twenty new divisions. We formed new divisions out of the Landwehr and Landsturm for nations We began by reducing the number of battalions in a division from twelve to nine, and forming fresh divi- sions out of. the battalions thus liber- ated, allottins to each it's compliment of artillery and special arms. We did a great deal, though in many directions we did not do much.

ALABAMA SOCIETY
 HEARS GENERAL SIBERT

Washington, October 12-(Special) At the meeting of the Alabama Society of Washington Saturday night, Maj Gen. William L. Sibert spoke on the part that was played in the world war against the German empire
 The Alabama soldier is chief of the chemical warfare section of the War Department. He was so deeply con- vinced that gas was a most import ant factor in the result of the war, that he expressed belief that in any possible war of the future, it would be the deciding factor. He insists that the government maintain the gas section as a distinct entity rather than as ar adjunct to some other section.
 About 400 Alabamians heard the Iec- ture, after which they turned to the more frivolous opportunities ava.r- able. They danced the "shimmie' with the latest Australian variations.
