through Danish treachery to Saxon Har-
old. One was attempted 800 years later
with most disastrous results to the
would-be invaders. In that day, though
the British arms wereinvincible both on
land and sea, and it was not until new

nee that ,lrre arose Il race oi men cLp-
able OF contesting with England th-
dominion OF the world. And there has
never attempted the boarding OF the lion
in his den. General Carr is, we believe,
the first military man of standing who
has proposed that arduous adventure.
But are we to conclude that what En-
gland has done with us we are incapable
OF doing with England? The burning
and sacking OF our national capital by
the troops OF General Ross early in this
century is still unavenged. Not until
we pitch camp in London will that deep
insult be wiped out. The only questions
are those OF transfer and terminal facli-
ties. Give us the necessary transports
and ocean convoy and we can land Il
million men on English shores within
six months. Once there the results
would not be such as to justify a new

scribng the ruin Of the Spanish Armada

Skiddaw's fires might rouse to war the

In all the war talk there has been an
assumption on our part that we should
act entirely on the defensive in land
operations with the exception OF an in-
vasion of Canada. We have assumed
that as in 1776 and 1872, we should
await the onset, forgetting or ignoring
the fact that while we were the weaker
power in both those years we are now
the stronger.
Among the opinions OF military and
naval experts collected and published
bv the New York Journal is one of Ma.
jor General Eugene A. Carr, wired from
Albuquerque, n. NJ. General Carr de-
precates an invasion of Canada. He
argues that there is already a strong
annexation party in that country and
leaves the inference that, since one of
the certain results OF war would be the
acquisition of Canada by the United
States, such acquisition, to serve the
highest national ends and interests,
should not be by conquest. There is
certainly much OF the wisdom of states
manship in this view, whatever the
military necessities OF the case might be
found to be.
But General Carr is anything but a
home guard. Ii he insists that we with
hold our hand against the lions whelp
it is only that we shall 60 after the lion
himself. He proposes an invasion OF
Great Britain. This is his plan of cam
paign:
Mask Canada by army corps OF the Ma
tional Guard at points along the line.
With one or two hundred thousand men
or more on transports escorted by our
navy and auxiliary fleets, 1t would land
on Great Britain and take it, OF course
the landing would be masked by demon
strations on different points, and might
be in Ireland, where we would find q
friendly people. Operations against
British commerce and dependencies
would be conducted by privateers and
Independent expeditions.
The last invasion OF England was by
the Norman in 1855. 1t succeeded only
