French army
which took
place early In September,
probably were the most
Icientllicaliy plunued and
iieruted of any of the
treat national war games
that the nations of Eu
rope have played as yet.
tn these manoeuvers the
at1llty ot aeroplanes and
tlrlglbles for actual war
tare was given Its most
levere toot. The aero
planes proved to be a
tuost marvelous means
tor transmitting ordors
ind unsurpassed for re
eonnolterlng. The dirigi
bles were used In trans
mitting mebHuges long
distances. Paris was sup
poncd to be beleaguered,
and one of these giant
cylindrical balloons was
lent across the
hills and plains
and dropped
safely to Its
appointed rett
ing place In
the heart of
the French
capital.
Frunee has
the greatest
number of air-
men employed in its army of any na
tion In the world. In the mnnoeuvers
In Plennly eleven aeroplanes and four
dirigibles were In use. As the result
of the.se tests the French army's aerial
fleet will be increased without delay,
The military authorities already pos-
sess thirty aeroplanes, and orders
have been given for thirty moro
to bo delivered ns soon as possible,
They will consist of ten Dleriot mono-
planes and twenty Farman biplanes,
seven of which are to be capable of
earning two passengers, besides tno The French are ahead of the Ger- same man or a different one day aft

180 miles at a minimum speed of
thirty-six miles an hour. Prizes have
been offered by the minister of war
for machines that will fly In excess
of this speed.
Never before has there been Btich
a great contTast In mimic warfare as
In these evolutions In Plcardy. Mov
ing along the highways were great
automobile wagon trains loaded with
supplies for the troops. Far in ad
vance and high up in the air soared
the aeroplanes. They seemed like
huge-winged birds of prey hovering
over the earth ready to swoop down
when they Fiehted their quarry. In
reality they were spying out. the po-
Bltion of the opposing force which,
under ordinary circumstances, would
have boon hidden by the contour of once said:
the country. The aeroplanes moved j
swiftly to and fro directing the slow
er progress of the foot soldiers and
the cavalry and the supply trains.
Because the air men made the way
eure and plain for those upon the
earth, the troops lost no time or ef
fort In aimless wanderings, but pro
ceeded directly to their destination
by the shortest route.
The first and moft Important prln
clplo of the art of war consists of
concentrating at a given time at
some point In contact with the enemy
a force superior to his at that point.
One eminent authority expressed it
as the principle of "glttln' thar fust
test with 1he mostest men." The rest
of the game of war is a relatively sim
ple operation. It resolves Itself into
tho mere question of comparative
man-killing or man-scaring capacity.
AH other considerations being any
where near equal, the question of be
Ing able to move rapidly is the thing
that counts in war. The best of
troops are worthless to a commander
unless he can hnve them where he
wants them when he wants them,
and, moreover, in a condition to do
what he wants them to do.
The fighting men are useless unless
they can reach the place of conflict
In time to taUe part in It, and they
are equnlly without value If the ef
fort to tot there exhausts them. That
Is why the aeroplanes are so tremen
dously useful in spying out the loca
tion of the enemy and enabling the
troops to reach that point, with the
very least amount, of exertion.
But no matter how fast the troops
may march they must be fed regu-
larly. That Is where the automobile
supply trains cnnie In hupe motor
driven trucl:s that never grow tired.
A bursting shell might disable the
horses dragging the commissary
wagons or the ammunition caissons,
but. it would take a well placed shot
in a vital part of an automobile's ma-
chinory to put It out of commission,
Then, too, a wounded horse cannot
be repaired, but a wounded motor
truck can be patched up unless It is
blown Into smithereens.
The problem of food supplies Is
one of the great things in war. It la
an old and trite saying that an army
really travels upon its belly. An
army is a city flung down suddenly,
over night, as it were, in the coun
try. It moves day. by day In such a
manner as to require constant at
tention and changes of plan as to its
subsistence. It cannot move a, step
faster than its food supply travels
and it can maintain a position only as
long rs it Is properly fed there. An

there is aridity and winter sunshine,

In the French nrmy
quite ns much attention is paid to
giving the soldiers the kind of
food they have been accustomed
to and plenty of It at regular
intervnls as to anything else. Amer-
lean army officers who hnve watched
the big manoeuvers, like those
in Plcnrdy, say two Frenchmen can
live well on whnt one American

likely the French soldier can march

which It Is issued, and that once it Is
eaten or wasted or given away the
balance of the period will be a food-

three days.
This Is an important thing for the
soldier to realize, for the gross
weight of one day's rations for an
army of 150,000 men is 520,141
pounds. It takes more than 100 au
tomobile trucks, such as those used
for the French army, to haul a day's
supplies of food. But all this vast
machinery Is necessary. Napoleon

The Black Death"
The plague, or Asiatic cholera, or
as It used to bo called, "the black
death," has been spreading of late in
Europe.
hi Russia, where the people are
dirtiest r.nd most superstitious, the
plague thrives best. Seventy thousand
persons are known to have died of
this attack In Russia already.
This Is not surprising, for the in
habitants. Instead of cleaning their
wells, cleaning their bodies, and us
ing their brains, get out the little
ikons or images which the Greek
church sells at a considerable profit,
and to these little images supersti-
tious peasants pray the prayers be-
ing interrupted In thousands of cases
by death from the plague.
There is nothing more tragic In all
the history of man than the record of
"the black death" In Europe.
in the fourteenth century one epi-
detnlc after another spread among the
pfople. Twenty-five millions of human
brings are believed to have perished
in this single, series of epidemics.
The rich and the poor alike were
affected. In Oxford two-thirds of the
student population died.
In Constantinople the people died t
the rate of 10,000 a day.
Charms, incantations, fear, filth, ig
norance and superstition fed the dis
ease. Curious results came of the long pe
riod of panic and of dying.
The famous "dance of death," in
which desperate human beings paro-
died and made fun of the plague, Il
lustrating the "dance of death" with
grinning skulls and skeletons, was one
feature of the epidemic.
Another, curiously enough, was in
England, the tremendous rise In the
cost of labor. The workmen died bo
fast, that there were few left to do the
work, and, following the law of supply
and demand, the few that could work
were offered extravagant wages al-
though laws were passed to keep the
wages down. And it is said that this
snddeu rise in wages laid the founda-
tion of the emancipation of working
people in England.
The plague in Europe appears now

These great manoeuvers of large
bodies of armed men nre a common
thing in Europe and are beginning to
be common in this country. Civilians
often wonder wherein is the sense of
spending hours, days, weeks, teaching (
a man to stand In a certain fashion,:
to step in a certain way or to carry i
a gun in a certain manner. They j
ask themselves what difference it j

mate end of these great manoeuvers.
weak, half-fed man dies that is why
the plague was often so violent in the
old days Just after a famine.
As far hack as the fourteenth cen
tury Gabriel de Mussls observed that
those who escaped the plague gave It
to others with whom they came in con
tact. :
They gave it to others because they
had the plague within themselves;
their essential tract was infected with
the disease, and this disease they scat
tered. It. is some comfort to know that the
disease can only be acquired by actu-
ally swallowing the disease germs,
The man who will be sufficiently care-
fu need not get the plague,
if you will drink only water that
you knew to be clean, and only from
vessels that you know to be clean; if
you eat no fruit that has not been !
carefully cooked, or carefully peeled
with an absolutely clean knife, and If
all the food that you eat is well cook-
ed and eaten when freshly cooked, you
will net get the plague.
The main thing Is not to worry
nbout it in this country. There is lit-
tie chance, probably no possibility
whatever, of a plague of the old kind
among us.
The work that is not done by the
little sacred images of the Russian
peasants Is done very well by good
sewers, plenty of disinfctants, plenty
of soap and hot water, and a little
common sense.

to forfeit $50 of his pay.

Somebody took the rope off the bell
In the fire engine house to use for a
clothesline, and now, when there Is a
Are, the constable has to climb up
Into the tower and ring the bell with
a hammer. Somebody took the ham
mer the other day and, when Hank
Purdy's corncrib ketched fire, the con
stable had to hurry down to Hllllker's
store for to borry a hammer. Hllliker
bad lent his hammer to Deacon Ren
frew, who lives four miles out In the
country, and by the time the constable
had got there and hunted around in
the ham for the hammer and got back
to the engine house, the angry ele
ments had done their worst and
Hank's corncrib was a mass of smol
dering ruins. Judge's Library.
Mixing Hla Dates.
There Is a story of a man who wai
10 transported with Joy as he stood
up at the altar rail to b married,
that his thoughts reverted -. a day
when he stood up at the prisoner's
bar In a court of Justice to plead
"guilty" or "not guilty" to a criminal
charge. So powerfully did that, the
most painful event of his life, obtrude
Itself upon his mind, that when t'e
clergyman put the question, "Wilt
thou have thla woman to be thy
wedded wife?" and so on, the poof
distracted bridegroom answered with
startling distinctness, "Not guilty, bo
help me God!" From Tuckerman'a
Personal Recollections."
