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.
