Fort Lincoln is to be mobilization point of the two national guard regi- ments. Probably 4,000 men will be stationed at the post until prepared to enter permanent training quarters in the south. Doubtless the regiments will be at Fort Lincoln two or three months un: til thoroughly equipped’ for the south- ern journey. The war department .has not di- vilged its plans for Fort Lincoln, but it» jis reasonable to suppose that throughout the period-of the war this post will be utilized. Bismarck should make the ‘stay of the troops a.pleasant one, co-operat- ving in every possible way with the military authorities. The post is ddeally located and probably next Spring thousands of more troops will ibe in training there. Men who are reasonably sure of be- autocracy, must often despair of that overthrow of the German military hoped-for consummation. They must often say to themselves that German ofticiency and German organization have made German defeat impossible. They must often sit down and fig- ure how Germany for three years has resisted the attacks of England, France Italy and Russia four of the greatest nations in the world. They learn of ammunition and supplies still going forward in a steady stream to. German armies which are still be- ing replenished by fresh drafts from youths who are becoming men.

For years men were poured into the caldron of war never to appear again. For years endless blood and treasure were spent in the endeavor to topple the emperor from his seat of power. Nations entered the lists against him and then, losing their stomach for the fight, withdrew. Only ‘England remained steadfast. And in the end through stubborn courage and the faith of England, Na- Poleon was defeated and sent an ex- ile to the island of St. Helena. Eng- land often with her allies, often alone, matched man for man and dollar for dollar with ‘Napoleon. It was a war Under the orders given out, Mr. Hill purchased a bevy of silk hats for the plain clothes men who watched over the visitors, but with an exalted cour- age beyond compare he refused to wear one himself in the broad light of day. Rather than permit his cra- nium to be cribbed, cabined and con- fined in such a silken cage, he dropped out of the official proceedings and watched them from afar in the com- fort of a soft Alpine head covering.
