ABOUT THE WAR.
A man asked us a few days ago
who were fighting. He is a man
above the ordinary in intelligence,
and so we thought it might be well
to tell you also who is doing the
fighting in the great war across the
waters.
This great contest, in which per
haps 7,000,000 men are engaged, is
between Germany and Austria on
the one side ane Russia, France,
England, Belgium, Japan, Montene
gro, and Servia on the other. Japan,
an ally of England, has declared
war against Germany and is striving
to run Germany out of China, where
she has leased about 90 square miles
of territory for 99 years. If the war
should be prolonged, and England
should need them, Japan would send
soldiers to help her in Europe. But
that emergency will probably not
arise.
King William of Germany, who
had the finest fighting machine the
world has ever seen, has been spoil
ing for a fight for many years. He
is having his desires gratified to the
fullest now, and before the end ht
will be amply satisfied. At this
writing his army of perhaps a million
and a half, after reaching within 35
miles of Paris, is now hot-footing it
on the back track at the rate of
many miles a day, with the armies
of France and England at its heels.
Russia, with an army of 4,000,000
men, is slowly and surely marching
toward Berlin, the capital of Ger
many. The Russian Bear is opposed
by the Austrian army of more than
a million men, who seem to be
feeble fighters. The Germans are
lending the Austrians some assis
tance, but had sent the Hower of
Jier army to take Paris. The Rus
sian army moves down like a huge
iceberg, driving all obstacles out of
its way.
Now, as to the size of the armies
engaged and the resources for fight
ing—
Austria has a population of 48,-
000,000; a standing army of 473,000;
trained reserves, 1,347,000; untrained
reserves, 2,700,000.
.Germany has a population of 65,-
000.000; standing army, 800,000;
trained reserves, 3,200,000; untrained
reserves, 3,(KM),000.
So the two nations have a fighting
possibility of over 11,000,000 men,
with more than 5,000,000 already
trained.
On the other side, England has a
population of 45,000,0(H); a standing
army of 146,000; trained reserves,
477,0(H); untrained reserves, 3,500,()C().
France has a population of 40,000,-
000; a standing army of 727,000;
trained reserves, 3,151,000; untrained
reserves, 1,622,000.
Russia has a population ot !-<>,-
000,GOU; standing army, 1,284,000;
trained reserves, 4,678,000; untrained
Belgium, a small country, has an
army of over 200,000, all good fighters.
Servia has an army of 240,000
trained veto: ns who have smelled
gunpowder.
Montenegro has an army of 50,000.
Japan can raise an army ot several
million—all wildcats.
So opposed to Germany and Ans- |
tria, if the worst < nines, can be j
raised an army of near 25,01)0,000 |
men. <
As to the naval strength, of the
contending nations —
Russia, France, and England,
together have 3-7 dreadnoughts. 66
pre-dreadnoughts. 3 coast-defense ‘
ships, 60 armored cruisers, 93 crui- I
sers, 342 destroyers, 198 torpedo i
boa’s, 169 submar lies.
Germany and Austria, together,
have 19 dreadnoughts, 26 pre-dread- :
noughts, s coast defense ..ships, 11 j
armored cruisers, 148 destroyers, 39 j
torpedo boats'', 27 submarine's.
Tii * Heels of Germany and Austria i
ar-- bottled up in the Black and j
Caspian s as. under rhe protection
oi their forts, while the ships of
their enemies have the open seas.
Thus the ('ommerce of Germany and
Austria has stopped entirely while
tile merchant ships of England and
France sail the seas without fear of
molestation and can bring supplies
to their countries from all the world.
Before the war Germany produced
only about two-thirds of the food
consumed by her people: but now
with the country depleted of able
bodied workers the food supply will
soon become a problem. Ami so,
and more so. with Austria.
King William had his arm; at
t such a state of perfection that it
was the largest and most perfect
fighting machine in the history of
the world.
Forty years ago Germany and
France went to war and Germany
defeated the French badly, took
away two provinces—Alsace and
Lorraine. Since then France has
been planning to get even—and Ger
many has been planning.
And King William hates the En
glish, although he is a grandson of
Queen Victoria. And the English
have returned this lack of love, with
interest.
it all came about by the killing of
Crown Prince Ferdinand of Austria
and his wife in Servia several weeks
ago by Anarchists. The Govern
ment of course was not resposible,
but Austria held it responsible and
declared war and proposed to eat up
the little kingdom.
Now, the Servians are Slavs,
about first cousins to the Russians,
and the Russian Bear shook itself
and growled, and began to assemble
its army. Germany asked what he
meant. Russia did not reply, but
went ahead. Then Germany de
clared war.
Then France began to prepare for
eventualities, and Germany wanted
to know what about it. France went
ahead, and Germany declared war.
Germany had for many years laid
a plan to march to Paris, and in
stantly her army started with the
intention of going through by a
march to the French capital before
France could get her army ready.
And the Germans started double
quick.
But in order to reach Paris quickly
it was necessary to march through
Belgium. England had guaranteed
the neutrality of Belgium, and so
that brought England into the scrap.
And there you are.
But something unlooked-for hap
pened. The Belgians whipped the
Germans to a stand-still for ten
days, while France was assembling
her army to meet what Bill Arp
called the fowl invader.
