"Waste 100 Much Time in Hustling,
An envions Yankee has been expressing his bewilderment at the rapid mobiliation of the European armies compared with that of his own country. "When the war began" he says, plaintive- ly, "it took Germany six days to mobilise 4,000,000 men ad Francs eleven days to mobilias 3,000,000 men. Bat, it took ne eight days to put 28,000 mililis, men from the various States in their camps." He might have added it took the British Nayy twenty four hours or less to get ready. Bat the explanation is simple enough, The Yankees waste too much time in hustling. -Singapore Free Press.
