IX TWO NATIONAL DUELS
Piecing together and balancing
the fragments of news which
tome from the scene of war in En
rope, it is clear that the grout
letruggle, bo far, is like two inter
national duels. Austria-Hungary
is evidently to be relied upon, in
the main, to hold Russia in check
while the bulk of thq German field
arnijr is hurled upon France.
It is plain that the German plan
of campaign is to concentrate by
far the larger part of tho army,
including its best regiments and di
visions, for the iuvasion of France.
Comparatively small and more
mixed forces are to be given the
task of guarding the Russian fron
tier and telping Austria-Hungary
roll back the armies of the czar.
At Sea Germany is waging ag
gressive war on Russia and her
outposts are busy on the Russian
border, but the main power of the
German army is being directed
against France. That country is
the chief target. Upon France the
weight of the >first heavy blows
vlJi fall. Russia is treated with
comparative indifference and dis
dain because the mobilization of
the Czar's forces is always slow.
France is ready annd France must
be met in the field at once.
The withdrawal of most of the
Austro-Hungarian troops from
Servia and its border is proof that
iearly the full strength of the dual
monarchy is to be used against
Russia. The military experts in
Berlinn and Vienna clearly believe
that Austria-Hungary will be able
to keep the Russian army fully
occupied until Germany can dispose
of France.
It is a pretty theory which works
out in two tremendous - national
duels. Only time can tell the
result.
There is a ;good reason to be
lieve a frontier likes being crossed
.13 little as anybody.
Once more there is occasion to
wish it were possible to tell a re
port from a rumor on sight.
Ex-King Manuel may presently
have company in the down-and-out
royalty class.

highways, fairly courting confisca

Xo one haa been heard to de
plore the fact that Ambassador
llerrick has not yet turned the job
over to his democratic successor.
The simple tourist with the iu
noceut kodak is now iu deadly
peril of being shot at sunrise as a
spy.
If they were available, the in
most thoughts of Secretary Bryan
would be worth more than a penny
to anybody who loves a laugh.
Unfinished paragraph: steam
ship agents report that very few
married men are among those re
turning to Europe to fight.
All the old-fashioned absolute
contrabands of war will have to
move over and make room for
gasoline.
Late advices from San Fran
cisco state that grave fears are
felt for the safety of the Pauama
Pacific exposition.
Almost any day now the popu
lace of Dublin may turn out to
give the King's Own Scottish Bor
derers a royal send off.
Among the American tourists
to be homstaked at government
expense doubtless will be some
who never had a kind word for the
govenment
The Euopean idea of successful
news censorship is about the same
as making believe the telegraph
never had ceen invented.
The unfortunates who chose
this summer for European
tours are likely to got little sym

but couldn't.
If rent day is the same over

So far as the military usefulness
