Kipling Finds Another “Fringe of the Fleet”
Doing an Unusual Duty, Forced by Modern

tenant, but that he was busy, would
have killed the gunner for refusing
orders in action. Afterwards he
wanted him shot by court-martial
But everyons was voiceless then, and

pedantic gunner was spared, ‘

Damn it, they were ALL of 'em right!
It ought to ha' been a marine. Then
they could have killed him and pre

The problem of this coast resclves
ftseif into keeping touch with the
enemy's movements, in preparing
matters to trap and hinder him when
he moves, and in so entertaining him
that he shall not have time to draw
clear before a blow descends on him
from another quarter. There are then
three lines of defense; the outer, the
fnner and the home waters. The
trafc and fishing are always with us.
The blackboard idea of It Is always
to have stronger forces more lmme
diately avallable everywhere than
those the enemy can send, X Ger
man submarines draw A English de
stroyers. Then X calls X plus Y to
deal with A, who, in turn, calls up
B, a scout, and possibly 2 A's, with
fair chance that if X plus Y plus 2
(a Zeppelin) carry on they will run
into 2 A's pius B plus C (crulsers),
At this point the squation generally
stops; If it continued, It would end
mathematically in the whole of the
German fleet ¢eomipg out. Then an
other factor, which we call the Grand
Fleet, would come from another place

To change the d‘mwruonnz The
Grand Fleet 1s the “strong left” ready
to give the knockout blow on the

solar plexus and stomach,
Somewhere in relation to the Grand
Fleet lies the “blockading” cordon
which examines neutral traffic. It
could be drawn as tight as a Turkish
bowstring, but for reasons which we
may arrive at after the war it does
not geem to have been so drawn, up to

Although Serbia Is Crushed, Fierce Winter Cam
paign Will Center in Balkans, Declares Cap
tain Fortescue—Suez and India Threatened.
Captain Fortesque in his strategic articles analyzes and discusses
the movements of the mighty armie 8 of Europe with the nonpartisan
spirit of an cxpert. No other war cor respondent has actually seen as much
of this war as this expert officer of the United States army and former
military aide at the White House under Theodore Roosgevelt.
By CAPTAIN GRANVILLE FORTESCUE.
Chief Military Writer of The Sunday American.
With Serbla overrun and the road
to Turkey secured to the Teutons,
where will the German armies next
strike? This question is being de
bated in the headquarters of every
division, corps and army of the far
reaching entente line. From the
open.ng of hostilities, except during
the fighting on the Marne, the Ger
man general staff has predetermined
cach theater of operations. It has al
ways held the initiative. Still hold
ing this advantage, let us try to dis
cover the point of the next Teuton of
fensive,
Will the entente inaugurate a cam
palgn in Macedonia? Obviously, if an
army competent to the task is thrown
into the Serbian war zone, the next
German attack will be directed
against such an army.
In my opinion, the German great
general staff devoutly prays to the
war gods for such a denouer.cit.
Should it fall out 80, the French and
English would for the most part be
pitted against Bulgars and Turks,
with a corps or so of Teutons, and
thus the burden of casuaities which
has been bear.ng heavily on the Ger
mans would be lightened at the ex
pense of thelr opponents.
Campaign Would Fail,
To throw in an army to the aid of
the Serbs at this stage of the opera
tions would bhe against the soundest
principles of strategy. What with the
equivocal position of Greece, the ex
tended line of communications to be
maintalned, the absence of a sufficient
military objective, such a plan would
almost be suicidal.
Unless Germany suffers from some
vital weakness, which is certainly not
apparent, an entente invasion of
Macedonia now would invite failure.
With the Dardanelles campaign be
fore them as an example of defective
strategy badly carried out, it hardly
seems possible that the Entente Al
lles will repeat the mistake of an un
supported force resting on an inse
cure base,
But we must remember that these
handicaps would disappear if Greece
were to espouse the cause of England
and France,
Greece Would Be Big Aid.
Then a large entente army gould be
assembled in safety, having only the
depredations of the submarines to
contend with on its way to the theater
of operations. and the Greek army
would form a strong !ine of reserve,

For Another, Says Alfonso
BERNE, Dec. 4.-—The Argentine
historian, Roberto Leviller, now in
Switzerland, has given an account of
& recent conversation with the King
of Spain, which took place at Madrid.
King Alfonso, who discissed severa!
questions connected with the war
with great freedom, said:

many help chastise the Serbs. At the
same time effecting a reconciliation
between Bulgaria and Turkey has the
double result of giving the Central
Confederacy the ascendancy in the
Balkans and opening the ammunition
route from Berlin to Constantinople.
The pla makes the long dreamed of
Berlin to Bagdad a fact.
Besides these future advantages,
the German occupation of Constanti

Germans to Take Defensive,
But it is reasonable to expect the
Germans to maintain only a defensive
campaien this winter and to prepare
for the great effort in the spring. Al
ways It must be remembered that a
defensive campaign might ‘nvolve an
attack wherever the objective de
manded such a maneuver.
A feint might be inaugurated in
Russia, or, i£ the Allles weakened any
part of their line, you may be sure the
Germans would take rapid advantage
of such disposition. |
| On the whole, it seems that the
coming winter will find Germany re
organizing for the coming struggle of
next spring, and at the same time,
when she finds herself holding the
predominant military advantages, in
viting peace proposals.
Let us ask ourselves what would
have been the effect If six months ago
the All'es had landed a great army at
Salonikf, Instead of attacking the
‘Dardanelles Then would not the pres
oent defeat of the Ailles in Macedonia
‘have been Impossible?
There are a great many objections
that could have been raised had the
entente alliance tiken a strong posi

eral Balkan States.
Missed an Opportunity. |
On the ground of exnediency, how
ever, It would seem that they cou'd
have thrown an army into the Balkan
theater of operations last summer and |
also strengthened thel® position as to
preclude anv possibility of over
whelming Serb'a. Such a movement
was dictated by the best strategy.
Granting that operations on the mt-l
ern and western fronts were at ga
standetill, {t became necessary for the
Allies to anticipate any German in
itintive,
When 1t was evident that no Balkan
nation could be relied upon, 't became
imnerative for the Allles to occupy
Macedonia, first as a support to Sor-‘
bla, and, second, in order to effective.
ly destroy all communication between
Constantinople and Berlin.
~ Undoubtedly the entente will try to
rectify their errors by landing a con
s'derable force at Salonik! within the
near future. Every effort will be made
to Induce Italy to co-operate in the
new theater of war, while undoubted
v Russia will, as sbon as rifles and
munitions are available, bring pres

The irreconcilable differences of the
Balkan States make it almost impos

organized force must be always
ready. Facts are facts, and this earth
will never become Utopla.”
Discussing the effects of the war,
King Alfonso sald:
“Very bad times will come for
South America There will be a rush
of Russians, Itallans, French and Ger
mans now living in South America,
back to their home lands to help in
bullding up what the war has de

The speakers at the meeting illus
trated the groposed fashions and con
demned high-heeled shoes and pumps,
gauzy stockirgs, forelgn fabrics and
cosmetics. Space had been reserved In
the program of the evening for an oppo
sition speaker, who produced a number
of the latest models of gowns which
ran counter to most of the patriotio
theories the reformers had expounded.
The dismayed reformers soon found that
a 4 majority of the audience had de
serted them and was applauding enthu
siastically each new gown and drowning
out the disapproval of the little minori
ty that favored the truly German modes.

The Hair-Destroying
Curling Iron Passes
The heated iron makes the halr dry
and parched looking, burns off the ends,
giving a most untidy appearance. You
who have learned this from sad experi
ence will be glad to hear of a very sim
ple method which is open to none of
the objections referred to and which
Fives better results than the curling
ron.
Just get a few ounces of plain liquid
sllmerine at your druggist's and apply
a little to the hair at night with a
clean toothbrush, 4drawing this down
one strand at a time from root to tip.
In the morning your hair will be as
beautifully wavy and curly as though
Mother Nature did it, and it will be
quite manageable, no matter what
style of coiffure you adopt. The ef
fect will be much prettier than if you
used a waving iron, and the health of
your hair will not suffer. As silmerine
is not sticky or gresy, it is quife pleas
ant to use.——Advertisement,
