L:eneral Keim of the t;lvman Army

In Der Tag that the true Inwardness
of M. Humbert's revelations was a de-
sire to.pare the way for fresh French
military armaments. The senator's
declaration that the republic's army
was not equipped 10 sins either the.

game 'away: according to General
Kelm, -and Illustrated clearly that the
exposure wawa parliamentary bluff for
the purpose of arousing the country
to the need of fresh sacrifices for milt

The, bluff was timed. says General
Kelm, in order to enable President

declared that In the test of war the
French guns would outmaneuver and

It must not be forgotten that French
officers and men have been tested in
actual warfare in the north of Africa.

is much' harder than anything French
soldiers are called upon to face in de-
fense of their beloved fatherland or
when Invading tbe lands of their coun

Above all, the motive animating
Frenchmen in a war with Germany Is
the desire to recover Alsace and Lon
raine, torn from. France by the via-
. torlous . Germans In 1870.1. The cry
of "La revanche!" beard in France at

I France now.demenda threo years' an
'Elva ferries from all her male citizens;
then her soldiers page into the active
reserve. which position they occupy
for ton years. During that time they
are twice called into the flokl and each
term of servlee lasts for a month. Her
warriors then peas Into the territorial'
army, in which they terve for six
years and daring which period they

reaching the age of forty-five. Hence•

military duty, but until his forty-fifth
birthday be attends a muster roll onoe

active service In the event of war,
This rule was abolished for some
time, and Fa two year active service
system was adopted': To meet the in•'
crease of the German army, following
upon that of 1912, France returned to
the threeyear enlistment system, nr>•
der which she will keep three classes
with tbe,colore instead of two. The
effect of thin law 1s to increase` the
peacestrength of the French army by
one -ball Great as is the sacrifice in
volved, ft is nevertheless cheerfully
made by the French people. A fresh
attempt was made by executive order
to adjust the longstanding differences
between the war and navy depart"
menta as to who should have charge
of the coast detente of Franca The
great trouble in the past was the divI•
sion of responsibility. The new order
did not remove it After the fall mo-
Heavers, held near Tonlose, a great
number of officers of high rank were
summarily placed on the retired list
owing to the inefficiency displayed by
them. This energetic proceeding testi.
hes to the determination of the Frendi
tit be ready at all times for action. ,
The reservists are divided Into die
ferent classes, according to the number
of years which- have elapsed since they
quit active service. In all canes the

TO sem up, the army of France Is ire
day uncus the most magnificent for
world hap ever known.
InJnly of the present year, before
the outbreak a the war,, Senator. Ham.
. herr made an exposure to Paris, et the
unpreparedness -of the French war en
taWiahment intheimmediate proxim'
Ity of the German frontier. It was not
taken vert seriously 5,, l+raneo.
Polneare to- proceed to Russia with
fresh nssnrances for :the czar that
Franee was prepared to do still more
when the time came to enable the
partners in the dual alliance to crush
their mutual German foe.
General Kelm asserted that instead
of being numerically 'inferior to the
German army at the present moment
France. - with 5500,000 troops under
arms, was vastly superior. Her artil-
lery also was in no respect less effec-
tive than Germany's. In one or two
directions it was even superior.
An amusing Incident throwing char-
acteristic
haracteristic light on the unerring thor-
oughness of the French Intelligence
service was learned. A. German fron-
tier cavalry regiment near Metz was
recently alarmed early to the morning
and was ordered to carry out a make
believe war maneuver consisting in'oe,
cnpying a certain strategic point on
the adjacent frontier.
Found the Freftch Ready.
The regiment- executed the order
with brilliant dash and with tbe great-
est punctuality, but the officers were
astonished to find as they approached
the spot that a full regiment of French
cavalry was also riding toward the
same point from the other side of the,
frontier. The two regiments arrived
at the border line practically simul
taneonsly. Both the German and the
French officers considered it a huge
joke and, dismounting. mingled for
agreeable conversation and exchanged.
smokes for a matter of fifteen minutes.
The French had prompt knowledge
of the maneuver and met it -.
The death warrant for the. French
soldiers' famous red trousers was sign-
ed in the chamber of deputies in July.
In the future the army of the republic
will go to war clothed in a neutral
Ratite of gray blue, which, it is assert
ed, will make the wearers invisible to
the enemy at 800 yards Instead, as at
present, being plainly discernible at
1.000 yards. The change is expected
to take seven years and does not affect
the present situation.
M. Messimy, the minister of war, in.
urging the necessity for the measure
was supported In his argument by cit-
Ins the example of the British army,
which adopted khaki in the Transvaal,
and the experience of the wars in the
Balkans.
In military aeroplanes the French
army outclasses any other. The num•
ber of machines available for war use
is put as high as 1,000, with aviators
of experience to man them.
For a century France has adhered to
the belief of Bonaparte that the artil-
lery, properly supported by infantry, 1s
the most effective arm of the service.
Napoleon himself was an artilleryman,
and the bandling of the big guns was a
favorite study with him. It will be re-
called' that his placing of the guns in
the streets of Paris during the revolu-
tion did much to make him the master
of France:
In all of the wars in which Francs
has been engaged since the era of the
drat Napoleon—in the Crimea, in Aus-
tria, is the unsuccessful contest with
Germany in 1870.1—Frenchmen Dare
distinguished themselyes by their baba
filing af,artillery. Their batteries are
noted, for their mobility and the ease
and quickness with' which the ammo -
:titian Is „bandied: In addition the
placing of the batteries to time of an
tion baa been made a •special, study at
the French military schools Various
foreign observers have cert fled their
belief that in this branch of military
work France leads the world.
