MORE RUSSIANS TO AID - O RE Quarter of a Million to be Rushed to the Western Theatre of War. A despatch from Paris eays :-The arrival' 'of the transports which brought the Russian troops sent, to join the Entente forces on the western front have been expected since Tues- day, but a heavy, storm in the Medi- terro:uean delayed their reaching 11Iar- Seilles until Thursday: Every pre- caution for then p:rotection.had been taken •owing5to reports that • hostile submarines were operating in the Mediterranean, but the voyage was concluded without.'tlto development of any untowed incident. The protect- ing flotilla included a number of Japanese warships. The • coming of Russian troops to the western front has been talked of by military People for two. orthree months.•+ The reason, as now ex- plained, is that it is easner•for Russia to arm and supply fighting material to Russian troops on the western front than on the eastern. Russia stili has many hundred thousand more men under training than. she can 'use on her fighting lines because the Rus Sian problem continues to be not how to get men, but munitions. The al- lies can obviously provide complete equipment for Russians more easily in France than by shipping to Russia. Possibly a quarter of a million men will be sent into France this. Spring.

They stirl hold, the second line,, and they can afford to let the Germans have the first at 'the terrible price they have paid for it- . . - The nature Of 'the German stiategy is perfectly plain. The intention in to make alterliate`heavy attacks on different .portions .o:f the French line in the hope that the attempt to streng- then one portion will lead' to the weak- ening of ' another, so that a sudden movement by the attacking panty would break it through. The failure of this strategy so far suggests that the German forces are not large en- ough to carry it out, or that the French are prepared at all points for an adequate defense. It has !,leen oaid that there are French reserves of which no use has yet been made. If the Germans are Losing more men than the French, as there is very rea- son to believe, the latter can well af- ford to remain on the defensive, yielding a little now and then - and here and there, but keeping their own forces comparatively intact while tak- ing a terrible toll' of the enemy. In other words, the 'French campaign is one of wearing out the other side. If they succeed in this object they will win, no matter how much ground they may have to yield. Far a victory that leaves the victor exhausted is no better than a ' defeat, The one hope the Germans had, so far as Frence is concerned, was to get to Paris. They failed at the Meuse, and all the sub- sequent "hammering" they can do only emphasizes their failure. A LIVELY PET. Panther Cub Which Grew Up to be Altogether Too Funny. It was in the course of a !hunting trip in the jungle that Sir Robert Baden-Powell acquired the unusual pet whose story he tells in "Memories of India," his fascinating volume of reminiscences, We directed our elephants into the pnteh of high grass in which the pan- ther was said to be. Presently, as the swished through it, my animal paused 'and began to sniff with her trunk. Peering down into the grass, 1 sate a small patch of spotted fur. It looked like the forefoot of a pan- ther. 1 took quick aim and fired im- mediately behind it in 'order to hit the animal m the body. The small patch still twitched about, and then I saw that it was a wee panther cub just able to crawl. So I slid off my elephant and picked 1 '' 1 c oct1t up. The cub flourished heel all c b cam a bocame favorite with everyone, especially with my fox terrier. The two spent most of their time gamboling and roll- ing over together. After a time the kitten began to grow into a lumbering hobbledehoy, with great loose limbs and strong jaws. • Then the games began to result in howls from the dog. The cub's mouthing became pain- ful to him, as indeed it did to me; my htutds were scarred and torn with the youngster's endearments. 1Ie became' increasingly playful, He would career round the garden and into the house, jump on the table in my sitting -room, and sweep every- thing off' with a crash; then with .a 'bound 110 would clear the sofa and daeh out of the window into the veranda and on the breakfast, table, where a smash of crockery would send him off in a pretended panic round the garden again.

MORGAN SAYS OF THE GERMANS. Entire People Seem Affected With Some Kind of Moral Distemper. Professor Morgan was sent to France last year by. the British Home Secretary to investigate the alleged outrages 'by German soldiers in the French towns and villages which they occupied before the battle of the Marne, Professor Morgan is a famous jurist. IIehas an almost .academic regard for" the value of direct evidence. He has rejected everything that was only backed by hearsay, however widespread that hearsay might have been. He has now published the result of his enquiries including in the same volume a detailed examination of the German official apology for the •outrages in Belgium. The result is a document as terrible as the Bryce report. Professor Morgan has the courage to deduce the obvious moral from the fearsome story he has to tell. IIe is not • content to saddle responsibility for a series of un- speakable crimes on the shoulders of the Prussian militarists, Orgy of Blood. IIe boldly indicts a nation. I -Ie lays: It is the fondest, of delusions to imagine that all the blood guiltiness is confined to the German Govern- ment and the generalstaff. The whole people is stained with it, The innumerable diaries of common sol- diers in •the ranks which I have read betray a eonin011 sentiment of hate, rapine, and ferocious credulity. The prdgl•ess of French, British, and Russian prisoners, civil as well as military, through Germany has been a veritable Calvary.. The help- lessness which in others would ex- cite forbearance, it not pity, has in the German populace Provoked only derision and insult. The old gentle- man with the grey• beard and gold spectacles who broke his tnnbrella over the back of a Russian lady, the loafers who boarded a train and under the eyes of the indulgent sentries poked their fingers in the blind eyes of a tvoun(led Ir'isimman who lied half his. face shot away, the men • and women win) spat ulion helpless pri- soners and threatened 1110111 with death, the guards who proddded them with °bayonets, worried them with dogs, and d.espatche(l.those who could not keep up -these were not a Prus- sian caste, but the. German people. People to Blame. • I. have beim told that there are still some individuals in England who cherish -tire idea that this very orgy of blood, lust, rapine, hate and pride is in some peculiar way merely the Bacchanalia of troops unused to the 110'07 bouquet 01 the wines of Cham- pagne, •o.r, stt 1ngee still, that it 12 the mental aberration of a people se- duced by -idle tales' into these courses by its rulers ,• ll' theeea501 is -aetonihed, as well he may be, at t11e •disgusting repeti- tion of stories -of rape and let faint study the' statistics of crime in Germany during the first decade of •thbs century, iesned by the imperial Government; he will find in theta much to confirm the lmpr ession that the whole people is infeebeei with some kind of morel distemper; A' Ye Blind ? A targe firm in Aber sten, says Pear - WHEN WILL THIS CRUEL WAR BE OVER? Chas. M. Bice, Denver, Colorado: It would require the prophetic vision of a Daniel or an Isaiah to predict its end with certainty. Many have essayed to do so, but in too many instances the wish le "father to the thought" • Mr. Hudson Maxim predicts it will end in five years, possibly in three, and he has history on his side. Perhaps the greatest conflict in his- tory, before the present struggle, was the American Civil War, 1861 to 1865, and in many respects the parallels are striking. The South was virtually in Germany's position to -clay, in het' economic conditions, with her ports all blockaded, and like Germany she hoped for foreign interference. The Mason -Slidell incident was !tailed by the South as a clever piece of work. But the Confederacy failed to enlist foreign recognition or help, and the struggle assumed the shape of endur- ance only, Lille Germany, the South was am- ply prepared for the conflict in the start, and.. held oub for over 4 years against an overwhelmingly superior enemy in everything except brains. The English Civil War, which was characterized by such terrific battles as Marston, Edgehill, Moor and Nas- by, lasted 8 years. The war of the Spanish Succession which staged such conflicts as Ramil- lies, Blenheim, and Malplaqueb drew its devastating length along a period of 13 years. For 8 years the struggle that put Maria Theresa on the Austrian throne ebbed and flowed over the same ground, ars we see in some of the most bitter battles of the present war. The conflict that gave Prussia her military rank is known as the Seven Years' War. It took 8 years of hard fighting to free the American Colonies, while the Napoleonic Wars continued for 15 years and produced Austerlitz, Maren- go, Trafalgar, Jena, Leipsic and, end- ed in Waterloo. The Greek struggle for independence lasted 7 year's, from 1821 to 1828. These are nearly all what might be. termed modern wars; hut -the -More ancient conflicts !retch- much longer, because the -instruments of death were net -so perfect as those of mod- ern times. -France and England fought for a century, (1337 to 1437), while the Hussite war lasted nearly 30 years, and the French civil war, provoked by the edict of Nantes, continued for a long time, It required over 40.years to free the Netherlands from Spanish rule. The 30 Yeats' War secured re- ligious freedom for Germany. Bub there have been very short wars, as instanced by the defeat of Austria by Prussia in 1866, taking only 7 weeks. The Russo-Turkish war of 1877 con- tinued only a few mouths, and the Franco-Prussian w'n of 1870 was vir- tually ended in 5 weeks. Japan defeated Russia, 1895, and • scoured the independence of Korea,' hi a little over a year; and the U. S. whipped Spain in 1898; in one year. Yet, it cermet with certainty be pre- 1 that this the reatest o ' all decree g f wars, including en opposite sides so • Many of the great Powers of the world Will he of short duration. With the wonderful improvements in terms, ex- plosives, and modern scientific appli- ances, the air crafts and submarines brought into requisition for the first time, infuse elements in the problem that render prediction of the end 11 ' hazardous undertaking.

WILSON'S NOTE NOW DELIVERED Ambassador Gerard Hands Message on Submarine Issue to Ber- lin Minister. A despatch from Berlin says :- The American note in regard to sub- marine warfare is now in the hands of the German Government. It was delivered on Thursday evening to Foreign Minister von Jagow in the usual manner, with no attendant cir- cumstances to mark the unusual im- portance of the occasion. Owing to the length of the note and the ap- pendix and to the delayed arrival of one section of the note, lit was not ready for presentation until 7.36 o'clock. Ambassador Gerard then rolled the document in a magazine to protect it from a light rain which was falling, and walked aeross the ,quare to the Foreign Office. The Ambassador was received immedi- ately. The Foreign Minister read the note, and a short, general conver- sation followed, GEN.
