GERMAN POSITION PRECARIOUS, SAYS MILITARY EXPERT OFTHE HERALD General Von Kluck, Masterly Strategist of the Kaisers Army, Will Need all His Cunning to Save Situation. PRUSSIAN COMMUNICATION LINES IN CRAVE DANGER. Germans in Flanders Have Failed to Make Junction With Von Kluck. Though No Danger Their Being Cut Off in Belgium. By Canadian I'm New York, Ort.

Krom the pant performances of the Oerman army In ihia campaign thr appeara little likelihood Hint the German retreat wll' degenerate Into a rout or even nbninie the semblance of disorder. History holds no better example of miisterly generalship thaa the transformation from disastrous retreat to vigorous defensive at the Alsne.

While report of the battle, or rather series of engagements In Belgium vary concerning the positions of the op-, posing forces, It would appear from the consensus that the Germans have by no means effected a united front such as obtained from Lille, In a tor- i tuous curve to the German frontier.

"MADE IN CANADA" IS NA-DRU-C0 SLOGAN Urns; Company Wortting for Bigger bales of Canadian Goods. To do their share towards educating the purchasing Canadian public to buy "Made in tZanade" articles In preference to foreign made products is the object of an extensive campaign now being tarried on by the National Drug and Chemical Company. No purchaser Is being asked to buy an Inferior home product, but when all things are equal preference for goods made In Canadian factories la requested. Everyone In the employ of the company, from Mr.

C. V. Tlnllng, the vice-president and generai manager, down. Is enthusiastic over the new movement The branch managers st the fourteen principal centres of Canada, together with seventy travellers, all have the one object In view, namely, to Increase the sales of Canadian products of all description. The foundation of the arguments used by the company Is that If Canadian made products are bought Canadians get the goods, the money, and supply the labor, thereby lessening to a greet ex tent the unemployment In this coun- I try.

Whereas. If foreign goods are 1 purchased Canadians do not get the money and foreign labor receives the employment. The company Is not specialising Its own products, but Is carrying on the campaign for Canadian made good or an descriptions. They are. how.

ever, labelling every article manufac tured as a Canadian product. Mr. Tlnllng stated yesterday that Hireaay signs pointed to an interest uy purchasers. one letter from lady In Calgary had been received requesting certain information regarding the company's articles In order that she might deliver an address on this subject. The talk she proposed 10 give was a club organised In that city by the women, the object of which was to enlighten the members on ins oiaerent lines of goods manufactured In this country.

If every wholesaler would see the benefits to be obtained by all Canada In this movement and do his share to further It. Mr. Tlnllng said to a great exicoi mo pro Diem or snorter work' Ing hours and other problems, to a large extent woo Id he solved. No purchaser, Mr. Tlnllng further slated.

snoum to essea to ouy a Canadian product Inferior to a foreign made article, but In most lines Canadian articles compared favorably with any Imported materia la It was the duty of every manufacturer to Inform the public of this and the duty or ths jiublio to respond by purchasing tade-ln-Canada goods. This influence could he furthered to a great extent, Mr. Tlnllng stated, by the eo- operation of tbe dealers. If they, also would Join In the movement, great progress could bs made. The company Is setting a good example by using, wherever possible, materials manuraciurea nere.

Since the outbreak ef the war the management haa not dismissed any The operations have been kept up to normal and the salaries of everyone have re mained unchanged. The supply of drugs has been cut off la some eases and tne prices raise, re was stated, however, that no Increase had been made In tbe company's products and that was not anticipated. sir. Tlnllng stated that the com-jany was confident of tao future. LECTURER SAYS ZEPPELINS ARE WONDERFUL CRAFT Rev.

Seymour Bullock Told Strange-ThmgtAbourAir ships in Germany. In bs lecture on the development of The Modern War delivered before the Unity Club In De Norman -die hall last night. Rev, C. Seymour Bullock gave an account of bia recent v.it to Fran for t-on-the-Main, one of the five strategic balloon centres of the German army. I was told some strange things In said Mr.

Bullock, "about Germany' air-craft, tit has been the studied policy of Germany to keep abreast, if not in the lead, of aerial navigation for purposes of war. The budget for one year Included an Item of S4.000.000 for the building and maintenance of twelve dirigible balloon of the Zeppelin type. One of the huge flying monatera carrying 26 men and 12 ton or explosive, crossed the North Bea, circled about London and returned to tbe original starting point after having been In th air for four full days maintaining a speed for tha entire time of approximately it miles an hour. Another Zeppelin of which I was told, made a flight from over the Baltic and to Upsoia In 8we- den, thence to Ktgu, In the Gulf of; Finland, and back to Stettin, a total diMance of nearly a thousand miles, unur all kinds of weather condl-1 turn. This second flight was made' with twenty men and five tons of dead wemht.

Instead of one huge bait tilled' ed with an Inert gas that Is non-in flammable. A peculiar feature of this' secret gas is in the fact that It can be -compressed Into a liquid and carried in very small cy lindens. It being only necessary to open the cylinder to the atmosphere within the balloon Itself when refilling the chambers. In this way the Zeppelin is fitted with a icfipnd supply of gas and Is to that extent Independent of the home station. It haa been darkly hinted that Germany has a surprise up her sleeve for Britain, perhaps it has something to do with airships." Seen at the close of the lecture, which covered the motor car, the submarine, and the battleships, Mr.

Bullock said: MI am more than ever convinced that my statement that are In for a long war will be verified Six Thousand Ocean Going Ships, Protected by British Navy, Continue in Business. Six thousand ocean-going1 Canadian vessels enter and clear at Canadian poru yearly, yet not a single one of them has been captured, nor has any loss been registered as a result of the outbreak of hostilities. Mr. Q. J.

Desberats. deputy minister of the naval service, points out that this bappy situation Is due to the care ana strength of the British uw. which has kept the trade routes clear or. enemy's ships. Canadian ocean-going vessels voyage for the most Dart to South American ports on both oceans, and they also engage in the fish trade with I'ortugal.
