Here is a phase of modern warfare which writ- surauce on this point; but it was only after some hesitation that France, then ruled by Napoleou . 111., also pledged itself lo respect the neutrality of Belgium. It was these circumstances which gave rise to an important debate in parliament, on Aug. 10, 1S70, when Mr. Gladstone said: "What is Belgium? It is a country containing 4.00U.OOO or 5,000,000 .of people, with much of au historic past, and imbued with a sentiment of nationality and a spirit of indepehdeii'-e as warm and as genuine as that which beats in the hearts of the proudest and most powerful nations. *. * " Looking at a country such as that, is there any man who hears me who does not feel that if, in order to satisfy a greedy appetite for aggrandizement, coming whence it may, Belgium were absorbed, the clay that witnessed that absorption would hear the knell of public right and public law in Europe? ���������' "But we have an interest in therindependence of Belgium which is wider than that. * * * It is found in the answer to the question whether, under the circumstances of the case, this country, endowed as it is with in- Development of Farm Lands c-rs of melodramatic account of hero ism will have to avoid, lt isn't a pret- j iluence and power, would quietly stand ty thing to write about, and it is real-j by and witness 'me perpetration of iv dramatic."

S. Dennis, chief of the Natural Resources Department of the Canadian Pacific Railway, gave an excellent address on "Rural Development" and this was' discussed at length by those present.

Service in A Neutral Naval Officer Tells of the Difficulties that the British ���������i ,}��������� ��������� i ' Fleet have to Contend with, and the Success tha^t has Attended their Efforts There has been a tondoncy lately in r the American,-.

British navy operates. For what the British navy has accomplished ihe British people should feel the deepest gratitude Great Britain is compelled (1) to watch with increasing vigilance, night and day, the two outlets from the North Sea���������many hundreds of miles apart���������tho ' English channel to the south and the wide stretch of several hundred miles between Scotland and Norway to tho north; (2) to maintain a patrol or line of scouts from Denmark to Holland, so as to prevent a surprise attack; (3) to stop and examine all merchant shipping pass-i ing through those waters; (���������!) to convoy English troops and supply ships to Franco; (5) to chase and destroy German, commerce raiders; (G) to watch all neutral ports ln which German merchant ships are lying; '(-') to prevent the invasion of England by Germany by guarding a tre- ���������-iiieiuloiis length of British coast Hue bo that the menace to the German fleet, transports, and supply ships will "be so great that raids will, bo few and far-between, and so that the time spent by the raiding, 11 eets will be insufficient to land troops, artillery and supplies;' (S) to prevent the Belgian ports from being used as submarine bases, and.to assist the extreme left of the, allies on the Belgian coast; ..\9) to keep several, hundred trawlers engaged in dragging for mines laid by ships flying a neutral .flag, and to ���������lay mines themselves' off the German coast. . The requirements of German naval strategy are vory simple, for at the present time Germany can afford to allow the British to retain' control of the sea, as she still has sufficient .supplies on hand to last until about June, 1915. The Germans realize, of coprse, that eventually their main fleet will have to fight.

JUNITED STATES LOSING FRIENDS mm NowEnhst ^mm p0L|cy IN WAR CRIS{S muulcationa with their army in Franco. The difficulties under whicli the British navy operates aro tremendous. To curry out the necessities of their strategy, which I have already outlined, requires to a certain extent a illusion of their Lorcos. In the North Sea al the present time there are only six hours of daylight, and heavy fogs and snow storms prevail during a large part of' the time. The temperature of tin.- North soa is frequently below zero. There is no rest night or day for the men.- No man knows whether or not the next momeut may bo his last, whether or not in a twinkling of an eye he may bo dumped into the icy depths. The repair, supply and coaling of this enormous fleet, is a problem of great difficulty, for the forces at sea must never be seriously weakened. Taking into consideration the facts that many eminent officers, including Sir Percy Scott, the father of modern gunnery, stated before the-war-that .he submarine had made the battleship obsolete; that Great Britain is of necessity forced to divide her fleet; that her superiority to the Germans in dreadnoughts is only live to three; that the Germans,are abie to make a sortie at any moment ^by day or night in concentrated forCe; that the British fleet is in the position of a man vwith his arms bound, unable to strike,back, but feeling surj that the hour of v.egeance will.soon be nigh; that Great Britain still is mistress of the seas and lu.s been able'to carry out every 'part of her programme��������� all this seems to prove to me that British naval strategy and efficiency have been of a high order. British strategy in time of peace has provided, in spite' of the peace crokers in parliament, such a large shipbuilding programme that Great Britain now occupies a stronger position relative to Germany than at the beginning of the war, in spite of the loss- of about 3 per cent, of her total gun power. In the next' six months eight supordreadiioughts will be finished for the French 'fleet, and two for Japan. If Great Britain desires these ships, the six Japanese and-French ships will be turned over to her, and manned by hor.naval forces, an addition to the British, lleot of 14 vessels of the ..most powerful and modern J.vp.e._aiul_eduiyalent* in gun poweii_anil lighting strength to ihe lirst'18 German dreadnoughts. Those amateur strategists in England who demand that the British should charge madly over mine fields to ��������� got. at ������the Germans simply ask Great Britain to commit suicide as a nation, for time works on the side of the' allies. The situation of the allies does not render tho taking'of chances necessary, but criminal; a policy of watchful waiting must bo pursued. When a few noncombaiants' in an unfortified town are killed, tha English should remember that millions upon millions are stfTfering in France, Poland, Belgium and Galicia, and.give tlieir fleet tne deepest confidence and gratitude, for in tho British fleet, 1 believe, ovory man is doing his duty.��������� New York Times.

To bo given ovory care. Through his courage Lio saved twelve Belgian soldiou from being Bhot by the Germans!" It was on a ploco of pink cardboard pinned to tho tunic of a Gorman soldier that thoso words appeared. Tho story of tlio discovery appears in a Dunkirk journal, which vouches In tho most positlvo terms i'or tho accuracy of the account. A French ambulance train ^brought Into Calais a wounded youth, upparontly about oighteun whoso wuslod foaturos and air of sadness at- traded tho goneral attention oi' the hospital ward. To tho uuiin-oinont of everyone whon tho blankets in which ho had beon wrapped wero removed, ho was soon to bo ln lho dingy uniform of the Gorman soldiers. His badgo showed that ho belonged to tho :jDth Prussian In-' idntry Ikglinent. Seeing tho astonishment, the young Gorman pointed to a ploco of pink cardboard pinned to his tunic.

Their ways are their own and their confidence in their oftieers and in themselves is perfect. The passionate love of the Cossack for his horse makes his work a pleasure. As an ail round fighter the Cossack is what the Uhlan tries to be.r Cossacks use a peculiar high pad saddle and rido- with tho knee almost vertical and the heel drawn well back. They never wear spurs and never carry a guaru upon tlieir sword. Tho Russian soldier Cossack * or "Mujik, scorns buttons. . Thoy are regarded ������������s a nuisance, as they have to bo cleaned; they Wear away the cloth, and <it- trtct the attention of the enemy. Ponies ridden by .the Cossacks are quaint little animals, but remarkable for their powers of endurance and their willingness to work. The Cossack and ins mount have boon likeurjd to a clever nurse ami a spoiled child, ���������each understands and loves ��������� the other, but neither is*completely under control. The Cossack does not waiit his horse to be a slave, and recognizes perfectly wel ltnat horses, liko children, have their whims and humors, and . must be coaxed and reasoned with ,- but rarely punished. Most Cos- ,-iciis wear wlusiters, and have their hair cut square across. Their fur caps are stuck jauntily on the head, and the famous knout is carried at the ond of a strap across the loft shoulder. 1 The Cossack population of the Russian* empire comprises about 177,000 men, wiui 4,2G7 on'icors. The war of- .ice has divided them into 815 squadrons of cavalry, seventy companies of ...iniry ..ad torty-uiue battalions for special service. For strategi-i purposes Uie Cossacks are distributed along the frontier. Practically every male Cos- ...ck oi eiguteen years .who is physically lit, is cpmpeiled to,serve in the Czar's army -"'for a period of twenty years. Of this term, three years are spent, in a probationary stage, twelve years on active duty, and live with the reserve. They, are furnished with arms y the government, but havd to supply their own horses, saddles and uniforms. ' Cossacks are the military aristocrats of Russia. Their organization dates from uie time of the Muscovy Czars, -who combined with the kings of Poland'as a sareguard against the invasion by the hostile tribes. In those ���������.ie Cossacks had many unique privileges, 'lliey paid no taxes,-and .io' one could pa**s nirougu tlieir ternary, without permission, lt is much the same now, According-to the popular impression, a Cossa-rk without a horse is not a Cossack, but this is quite wrong, for tireT*Tr!ri'e"~a"m"on:^ large numbers of infantry' and artillery. The cavalry division of the troops undoubtedly forms the finest mounted infantry In the., world, lt is.true that their ideas on the subjec cf discipline are primitive in the extreme; but they turn out for parade in a manner ihat' would' cause a British guardsman to blush with shame; and they manoeuvre without the aid of a drill book, ln other words, they are useful rather thau ornamental. In battle the Cossacks' feats of Horsemanship are often disconcerting co an enemy. * This is duo to the remarkable sympathy which exists between the man and his horse. When charging, for instance, the Cossack frequently leans over tho offside of his horse, thereby using the animal to a certain degreo as a cover and shelter. o lt is reported that in a recent engagement tho Auslraliis were* amazed to soo what they thought was a mass of riderless horses In a wild stampede.

It is apparently tho intention, since the trained armies have failed to'1 provoke a decision, to call up the whole manhood of the country, to set 0-,-ery available industry to work-*upon the manufacture of arms, aminuniiion a .d equipments and to prepare in the spring to crush *.he allies' armies or to perish iu the it- tempt. "Tho situation is briefly as follows: "The German kerntruppc���������namely, tho army active, and its youngest j- servos on whom the highest Gorman hopes were set, failed iu its mission. The remainder of the trained reservists came up into line in the form of drafts, and of reserves, luudwehr and landsturm formations. .Germany was, saved from invasion but thero was still no decision, and the armies of tho allies were still unbroken and defiant. There re'niain- el nothing but to fall back upon untrained men and this apparently is what Germany is doing. Germany began tho war .with S72,- 000 all ranks of the peace establishment with 1,180,000 mon of the reserve, 970,000 landwehr of tho first ban, 1,000,000 landwehr of the second ban, or men up to 3!1^ years of ago. These were all fully "trained men and the total in round numbers came up to,4,900,000 men. Germany has approximately 2,000,- o000 men inline, in the west and 1,000,- 000 in the -cast, excluding communication troops. Her losses cannot be estimated with precision, but, excluding slightly wounded, who havo returned to the colors, they are certainly- not less than 1,000,000 men.' Considering also, that the" sick men must be numerous on account' of the stra.n imposed upon the troops at the open- . the war; considering the waste due to climatic causes, especially in the east; and considering also tlio ojaq*. 'suos-jjua puu noma uaddu-i^ is good reason to suppose that the supply of fully trained men is practically used up, in the sense tliat there are but few more left for drafting. In order to' find future' drafts and to increase the numbers and the larger units at the front, it is necessary for Germany to make a heavy call upon the people. lt has been the practice in Germany for many years to allow young men liable for service to postpone tlieir entry into the army from the age of 20, .to 21 or 22 and in some cases even to a higher age. This was rendered all the more easy because up to the passage of the law in 1913, less than half of the contingent 0f the year was actually incorporated. .The' result -was-that-,-,instead-of-anticipating-oo:i- * agents like Napoleon, tho Germans saved them up and provided themselves with a first recruiting reserve; of which a considerable part'is probably already in service at the front and at then depots. The last year 'or which complete German recruiting statistics are available is 1911. "in that year there were Gfil'.OOO youths of 20 examined for the first time, :*6S,- 000 youths of 21, adjourned from the previous yea:-,'289.000 adjourned from the^year 1909 and 51,000 over the age of 22. This gave about 1,271,000 youths liable to service and the situation in 1914, v.-no'n tho war began, must have boea not 'vory different. .This is the first, source upon which tho German military administration will naturally draw. Germany has at her disposal first, tho 1914 contingent and recruiting reserve, approximately 1,000,000; secondly, the Ersrtz mon and first ban landsturm ,;i,000,000, and thirdly the youths undor 20, say 1,000,000, Considering, however, that scmo independent lirsutz ' formations have boon placed in the field; that many ymiths aro already serving ap volunteers; that quite a nuinbor Ir-oni tho landsturm first ban havo marched with tho othor trained mon of the socond ban and finally, that many mon aro nbroiul and have boon unable to roturn, the total number of untrained mon who nro in process of Incorporation and training is 4,000,. 000, or thoroabouts. It Is not saro to put tho figure down at anything loss. Theso 4,000,000 mon were entirely i.ntrnlned until tho first of thom woro callod up, Thoy are Inferior to tho v.orman serving troops In physlquo and constitution and many of them aro old as wnrfaro goes nowadays. Tho great majority nro marrlod and ������������������vlthniit much ta o nnd talent for soldiering so that ono can expect it stonily deterioration In tho quality - f German troops from now on, especially as It will bo hard to find arrange- moms for such numbers. On tho other linnil, the military spirit of Germany will ovorconio many dlfi'lnultloii and as tho Germans hnvo reonntly glvou Austria a million rides for lior land- sturni there niuct lm no lack of small arms, Krupp nnd l-'hrhurdt no longer posticus lho monopoly 0r warlike mat- mini. Kvery artillery Industry is hard at work and though tho lack of enppor Is serious, there Ir ns yot no dolhiin* sign that the war of attrition Interferes materially with the provision of things needed for German troops. DOLLARS OVERSHADOW QUESTION OF HUMANITY American Journalist Writes a Scathing Indictment of United Slates Diplomacy, and in liiting Language Condemns the Position taken by Wilson Administration on War Subject Edward P.

Mr. Bell says: . "Conversations wllh persons of force representing the seiuiiiHiits of Great Britain, Franco, Russia, ltiuy, Germany, and Austria compel tho conviction that tho United States is niak long lived iloaiing mines, all involving enormous sacrincs of life and wealta without commensurate military advantage.

Briton.*,' Frenchmen, Russians and . Italians blame America for ignoring the invasion of Belgium and lho -violations ol the conventions of The Hague and then springing into tho international arena with a protest relating exclusively to matters of trade. The argument in all'these complaints is that if President Wilson . had protested against the violations of the treaties and tho principles of civilized warfare he could have protested witu a vastly greater effect against the arbitrary and possibly indefensible interference with American cargoes." "Kluropeahs, profoundly misunderstanding the' Americans,, as nearly every nation misunderstands every other, always have referred to the people of the Unit'el States as 'dollar people,' and the policy of President Wilson in the present war has crys- talized the pervasive impression into a sharp and universal postulate. - "It is asserted on every hand'that the Americans witnessed unmoved��������� that is, so fai* as official action was concerned���������the crucilixionof Belgium, the killing'and maiming of women and children and other non-combatants, the destructon of private prop- war threatened to, reduce' the profits of the copper kings anl otherwise penalize America materially.

My experience is that influential Germans arc inclined*to speak of us with scorn.
