MAKING WAR ON PAPER.
German Officer of '.High Naval Rank"
Amusing Himself.

BERLIN, June Tn the Deutsche Mon
atschrift for June an anonymous writer,
apparently naval officer OF high rank, dis
cussed the possible success of the United
States in a war with a first-class European
power. He says: THE United States taste
for expansion and enormously widening re-
Iations in every part of the world multiples
the chances of controversies with any one
of the great powers. Though it is quite
impossible to predict the cause of a quar-
rel. what can be measured is the United
Statess offensive power. Land operations in
Europe are impossible because of the diff
culties of the organization of a great force.
Its transportation and lodgment in Europe
consideration. A blockade with its present
fleet is likewise impracticable. The time
may come when the United States will
have the greatest fleet in the world, except
that of England. No lack of resources ex-
lists. but the problem of manning such
fleet is a difficult one. The indications are
that the United States will be unable to
ships in 1904 The United States. being un-
able 10 attack the continent, must there
fore, turn to the colonies of her adversary.
To attack them an expeditionary force
must be organized. In the meantime the
European power could easily reinforce its
garrisons. though in widespread posses
sions The Americans could find vulnerable
points but the difficulties of supplying the
expedition would be almost insurmount-
able"
Hence the writer concludes that for some
years TO come the United Statess offensive
power offers little danger TO European
states

FAITH IN THE REICHsLAND.
Germany Will Abolish the Alsace-Lor-
raine Dictatorship Law.

BERLIN, June THE imperial chancel-
Tor, Count Won BueIow, introduced a bill in
the Reichstag to-day abolishing the dicta-
torship paragraph in the Reichsland CAL
sace-Lorraine) fundamental laws. After
speaking Of the necessity of the paragraph
in the past, in consequence Of the ex-
pressed hope of Reichlander that France
would reconquer the provinces, the chan
cellor said that Emperor William and the
government, after mature consideration,
were now convinced that the extraordinary
powers conferred by the paragraph could
be safely dispensed with. Its abolition con-
stituted a recognition of the fact that
thanks to the strong position of the empire
among the powers, and thanks to the care
full work Of the provincial of the Reichs-
land, il had been found possible to recon-
cile the inhabitants of Asace-Lorralne TO
the new order of things and to inspire them
with full confidence in their connection
with the empire. The efforts of the older
generation to effect a separation would find
no adherents in the mass or the population,
and the imperial government wished 10 IN
spire confidence with confidence. Germany
never, of her own free will, would acqul-
esCe TO a fresh cession of the Reichsland,
and he. the chancellor, was convinced that
Alsace-Lorraine will accept the gift now
rendered with the same feeling of German
loyalty that animated the rest of Germany.
The chancellors speech was cheered on
both sides of the house.

ton, and plaintively attests that officers
selves clearly and concisely in their own
language" The report condemns the sys-
TENS of both Woolwich and Sandhurst
where education is far from satisfactory,
the instructors having no inducements 10
teach the cadets, still less TO work.
With the view of diminishing the ex-
pense of officers belonging TO cavalry reg1-
ments, the report recommends that polo
tournaments, regimental coaches and the
keeping of hounds be forbidden.
Perhaps the penultimate paragraph Is the
most important OF all. 80 long as medi-
ocrity is permitted to pass muster" says
the committee, "and signal ability meets
with no substantial recognition, IL Is use
less 10 hope for any valuable results from
verbal amendments TO the regulations:
Nothing but inducements in the shape OF
certain reward for good work, either IN
peace or war can raise the standard OF
knowledge through the commission ranks.
The committee therefore recommends an
honest system of promotion by merit, fol-
lowing upon tests honestly conducted and
honestly reported
The report plainly hints that officers can
hardly be expected to work so long as the
present system of advancement through
social influence is In vogue, or so long as
efficiency has nothing whatever to do with
the selection of officers for desirable ap-
pointments. The committee recommends,
among other things. that more commissions
be offered to the colonies and that ofncers
be compelled TO know either French or
German
