Great Britain Maintaining 7,500,000 Men
LORD NORTHCLIFFE IN The Forum.
It does not seem to be generally known
in this country that up to the time of
tlie United States entering the struggle,
Great Britain had not only borne the ex
pense of maintaining seven and a half
million fighting men of her ow, but had
carried a large portio of the financial
burden of her allies. I do not exagger
ate it when I say that prior to ydur com
ing into the war we had most willingly
advanced six billions of dollars, that
we are still advancing large stims daily
to them, and that our war expenses are
at the rate of $35,000,000 a day.
As to the length of the war. we should
more properly speak of the wars. Those
who have not closely studied this great
earthquake since its inception at the
time of Frederick the Great, are inclined
to compare it with struggles that are by
comparison small affairs. Yet your own
f ml War, in which neither side had any
great preparation, lasted more than four
years.
Now this series of wars find the maker
of the wars prepared to the minutest de
tail. He is opposed by those who are de
termined that he shall not rule the world,
ue. his opponents, are even now in a
state of preparation. You have had ob
ject lessons in the past few weeks of the
depth of the roots of this great conspir
acy against the world’s peace. You have
seen the great and prosperous state of
Argentina thrown into a position of chaos
by a word from Beilin.
Prussia has penetrated everywhere. It
poisoned the chancellories and parlia
ments of Europe and tainted the appar
ently open, if troubled, streams of com
merce. It adapted itself to all exigencies.
In Spain it was Catholic, in Holland it
was Protestant, in Turkey, as we have
seen, it was frankly Mohammedan, in
Greece,,, it helped a king to overrule a
chamber of representatives. Recent
events in Mexico, some of your own ana
our own labor troubles, uprisings among
the wild folk of our Indian frontier—no
place was too remote, no cause too ab
surd, to escape the mesh of German in
trigue.

TRENCH AND CAMP
Coming to the conditions of the actual
war, we find a remarkable unanimity
of thought and purpose between the
Kaiser, the Junkers and the mass of the
people. We find the food situation in
Germany and Austria distinctly better
than it was a year ago. The capture of
supplies in Rumania, no less than the
extension of cultivable areas throughout
the lands of the Central Powers, has re
lieved the tension in cereals and garden
produce.
GOTT FOR MASCOT
The 112th regimeht, has a real mas
cot at last —It’s a goat.
“William B. Goat” is the official
designation that Colonel Richards has
give him ever since he first made his
appearance at the corral, behind the
shower bath row, a few days ago.
For weeks the commanding officer of
the 112th had been in search of a goat
for the regiment ,and every time he
saw one that he liked, it was not for
sale. A few afternoons ago he was in-

cue Colony Richards was presented
with a handsome goat, which is half

little sone of the host, made the pre
sentation, and writing to them a few
days later, Colonel Richards said:
“William B. Goat” arrived safe at
camp and has ben introduced to my
horses, ‘Comrade’ and ‘Captain Jenks.’

from the way ’Captain snarled
at him, it will take some little time for
them to become real fast and close
friends. ‘Comrade’ appears to think
very well of him, and I expect that he
and William will get along fine. ’
So when Bill is sufficiently broken
into the army game, there is no doubt
but what he will take part in many a
hike ovi Southern roads. Already he
has made a hit with the fellows, and
in the course of events it seems prob
able that William B. Goat will soon be
wearing a blanket bearing the magic
number “112.”
