F$5?5EJ£sfflæsi h-A." ■ w- the Germans Surrender ce A Great Military Expert Prognosticates the Close of the War Events Assuming that 'the German attack on France absolutely fails, and that a similar fate attends the actions of the German fleet against ours, one must presuppose a tremendous wave hr of enthusiasm sweeping over the armies invading Germany which must carry them over the different frontiers well on the road to Berlin, Berlin, writes a.great military expert in London Answers. "Step by step the German armies must be imagined imagined as recoiling, on the one hand, from the French forces, swelled by the British- Expeditionary Army, and, on the other hand, from the enormous Russian masses moving with slow but irresistible momentum towards the same goal--Berlin. The German fortresses are enormously enormously strong, but nothing can withstand the onslaught of a well- directed army with magnificent artillery artillery such as the French Army is equipped with. The forts of Cologne, Cologne, Stra'ssburg, and Ehrenbreit- stein, much larger and mounting heavier guns than those- at Liege, must fall to the attack of determined determined forces in sufficient strength, and able to bring to bear guns of the right calibre, and, once the ^ plan of the German invasion of France has been thoroughly foiled, we must suppose the French Army sweeping everything before it. When Panic Threatens. With both France and Russia threatening the German capital, and her sea commerce totally pa-raA lyzed by the operations of our Fleet, the German armies must continue continue to give battle under the most disheartening conditions which preclude preclude the idea of any victory of sufficient importance to retrieve the campaign. Panic will begin to spread through the Fatherland, and with panic will come disillusionment and a terrific revulsion of feeling. The German people, who for years have been taught that German arms were invincible, will feel that they have been made the catspaw of an unscrupulous set of gamblers. The Imperial family will be looked looked upon by Germans as was Napoleon Napoleon III. during the sorrowful days of the disasters in the war of 5 70-- with feelings of the bitterest hatred. If history teaches us any lesson a-t all, it is that, if a victorious emperor emperor can ask nothing too much of his subjects, a- defeated emperor must expect no mercy. When Napoleon was losing there were few to say a good word for him. In Peaceful Solitude. Thus it is safe to argue that the Kaiser, being regarded as personally personally responsible for the awful plight of the country, will precipitate a movement against his dynasty that may become too violent to check. If the Emperor survives all vicissitudes, vicissitudes, one might, having regard to all the possibilities, foresee him and his family exiled to some quiet spot where his power for mischief would be for ever gone. I was going to mention England as a possible refuge for the Emper- ^or, noting its popularity as a home of monarchs "who have lost their crowns, but I hardly think the Kaiser Kaiser would feel comfortable living at Twickenham, where King Manuel consoles himself for the loss of his kingdom, or even F am bo rough, where Napoleon III. made his home, and where his widow, the ex- Empress Eugenie, lives to-day. ; ; No ; I think the Austrian Tyrol, or somewhere in the Bay of Naples, more appropriately fits the picture. Such an anti-dynastic movement would probably be initiated by the commercial interests, in Germany.> «■TThe anti-dynastic movement may take two forms. There may be a strong Socialistic ' movement towards towards the establishment of a repub- . lie to replace the present autocratic form of government, or there may be an overwhelming feeling in the direction of breaking up the confederacy, confederacy, and resolving the Empire into a series of strong, independent states again. Whether Germany will sue for peace before the invading armies actually actually reach Berlin is of little importance. importance. What is important is that before the German armies are entirely entirely routed, internal political con- ' dit-ions will compel them to. demand ignominious peace. And what will be the price of this peace 1 When Germany brought France to her knees in 1870 they secured as the price of peace a war indem nity of £200,000,000, and the secession secession of the provinces of Alsace and Lorraine. - In their turn, the victorious armies will demand a war : indemnity indemnity not as large as they might wish, because of the necessity for preserving preserving Germany from going into bankruptcy, bankruptcy, but still heavy enough to cripple the Fatherland for years, and, more important still, will insist insist on huge territorial adjustments-, everything being done to- remove artificial frontiers between kindred ni auto ^ I^UMUIU s.

If she does so, her reward will be the restoration restoration of the Italia Irredenta, that little triangle, with Trieste at the extreme left-hand corner and Flume at the extreme right-hand corner, which formed part of the old Venetian Venetian Republic, and was filched from her by the Hapsiburgs.

Generally, the effect of the crushing crushing defeat of Germany and Austria- Hungary will be to- reduce considerably considerably the boundaries of the two empires.

India Secure. t To those people who believe in the aggrandizement of Russia at the expense expense of a weakened Germany a possible attack on our Indian Em- pire, I would say that Russia has long since ceased to entertain designs designs on our great Empire. Quite apart from the fact that we shall - have united France to us by bonds that can never be broken-- which means that France could never never be a party to an attack on* us by her ally--the military problem is too great for Russia to contemplate. So long as Afghanistan is true to u &, a, nc t I have never questioned her fidelity--the invasion of India will never be attempted this side of twenty-five years ; and, in the second second place, Russia will have so much need of our financial assistance in recovering from the effects of the \yar, and in comsiderating the economic economic position of her vast hordes, that she will have little taste or opportunity opportunity for looking again towards Herat. Always assuming that the prophecy prophecy as to the German debacle is vindicated, the general result of the war will be to leave us undisputed mistress of the seas, with no fears, as of recent years, of our shores being invaded, and vastly to in crease our prestige all over the world. Colonies Going Begging. The restoration of Alsace-Lorraine Alsace-Lorraine will pave the way to better relations between the French and German peoples, whom the two provinces provinces have always kept apart ; the loss of Germany's colonies will cause her to concentrate on the de velopment of her wonderful home resources, and build up her com mèree afresh, the proper safeguarding safeguarding of which no one 'will wish to prevent. prevent. The Austro-Hungarian Empire Empire will be all the stronger for the loss of provinces that kept her at war with the Slav races, and the way will be opened to a real understanding understanding between Italy, which wil" no longer have cause to mistrust her intentions ; while the bestowal of Kiao-Chao on Japan will preserve the balance in the Far East. Finally, the great nations, instead instead of wasting their money on armaments, will apply a huge slice of what now goes in the building of warships and the provisioning of armies to social reform.

One morning, whileythey stood m the door, watching for something to happen, there came a rush of great wings, a screaming of terrified terrified sparrows, and a violent flight over their heads. One sparrow, chased by a large bird, flew to one side.

Europe will find itself left in such a terrible economic economic position that the Powers will be compelled to meet and settle a plan for. the reduction of armaments.

Austria will be forced to reduce her forces to a level that will just allow her comfortably to protect protect herself from Slav aggression.

"During the Franco-German War of 1870," he says, "thé Germans, by their invasion of Alsace, spread untold untold miseries among the villagers whose properties they claimed. A certain well-to-do farmer named Hauff became so much enraged by the plunder of his well-stocked farm that he shot dead two German soldiers. soldiers. He was immediately taken outside his house and executed. In vain his wife begged for his life. She afterward found their little boy crying on the dead .-body of his father. " 'Mother,' the child said, 'when I grow up I shall revenge ifgSbber and shoot Germans.' ' 'The widow, finding further abode in Alsace under German rule unbearable, emigrated, to Belgium, and settled near wise, where she took another farm. "Her boy became a man, the father father of a family, including two boys.,, and for forty-two years, his mother shared with him - and her grandsons happy family life at Vise. Then came the present war, and two weeks ago the German troops ar rived in Vise. "The Belgian inhabitants had just before destroyed a bridge over the Meuse. For this they were severely severely punished by destruction of their houses. Farmer Hauff witnessed witnessed these outrages and, beside himself with distress and remembering remembering his promise over, his - father's, body, shot one German invader dead. At once a number of soldiers soldiers seized him andj, dragged also from his house his two sons. "AH three were placed against a wall and sumtnarily executed. "It was thus the fate of the poor widow to see her husband, her son and her two grandsons shot before her eyes." First Aid Is Given, Then Taken The Base Hospital. The care of tire wounded is necessarily necessarily an important duty imposed on every nation in ease of war, and the methods adopted in European armies, as bold in an article in the Scientific American.,. is particularly interesting, as will 'be seen from the following extract : The general system adopted for providing a medical service is practically practically identical in the armies of all the great powers. It contemplates a division of the service into three portions : that which belongs to and accompanies the fighting troops ; that which pertains to the base (of supplies) and the line of communications communications ; and that which pertains to thè"home' territory" or'"' 'the zone 7 of the interior." The principle governing governing these services is that nothing, but first aid and emergency treatment treatment should be attempted in the immediate immediate zone of combat, and that having received this treatment, the disabled should be quickly transported transported to the, "base," where abundant abundant facilities for their care can be provided without encumbering the fighting forces. Here at the base they are care fully classified, and those so seriously disabled f.s to for further service at the front are sent back "to hospitals at honte, while those- who are less seriously disabled are retained until they are well enough to leave the hospital, when they are- transferred to the convalescent camp. Here they remain remain until they have fully regained their strength, when they rejoin their regiments at the front. Subtraction. Mr. Wvse--That bank treasurer has been stealing for 20 years.
