LECTURE ON STRATEGY
ARMY AND NAVY NECESSARY
FOR NATIONAL SUCCESS.
Special cablegram to The Star.

Special Cabiegram to The Star
LONDON. December 23-Maj Gen r. 8.
s. Baden-Powell C. B., presided this week
at the Royal United Service Institution.
when DR.. T. Miller Mcguire delivered an
address on THE Developments of Inter-
national Strategy Since 1871 and Its Pres
emit Conditions" Among those present were
Admiral the Hon. Sir e. Fremantle, Ad-
niral Sir r. H. Harris. Col. Sir T. H. Ball.
Reclamation. Judge Rentoul and Lieut.. Col.
T. H. Baylis. X. C.
DR.. Miller Mcguire said that since 1871
the frontiers of the British empire, which
previously were practically conterminous
with no great state except the United States
and few minor unimportant spots in AZ
RIGA, had become by European expansion"
conterminous with Russia, France and Ger
many. as well as China. Afghanistan. Abys-
sinia. Italy and Portugal, The whole sys-
tenn of the European body poliuc had
changed as a result of the victories Of 1855
and 1901. and Of the high standard Of
military excellence since maintained by
Germany. After dealing with the expan-
sion Of Russia, Canada and the United
states, he passed on to Japan, and COM
pared the Japanese in the east Of Asia In
1905 with the British in the west OF Eu-
rope in 1905. Modern European ciyilfza-
ton was paltry, he said. the souls OF
men, were ignored in the back streets and
sweating dens of our large cities, but to
the Asiatic the soul and mind were all In
all. II the people of Great Britain were
to maintain their strategic position their
cry should be cherish our bodies, culh-
yate our minds. and give US back our
souls" War was not a disease, but q pre-
ventive of decay; nations had persisted by
cultivating the arts of peace, but ma
ton had ever decayed from cutivating the
arts of war.
Necessity Of Military Establishment
The only true foundation Of the great
ness of kingdoms and estates was race
OF well trained military men fit to fight by
land and sea. These views were exempli-
fed In two recent books. THE Risen Sum-
by Baron Suyematsu, and The War In the
Far East" by the military correspondent
Of the Times. which latter book the lecturer
described az most admirable. In concius-
ion the lecturer said that alliances were
often the devices OF decadent states; they
certainly had never saved any state. The
future Of Britons today. as In the period
of 45o5 to 1918. depended on Britons-
In the discussion which followed Capt
p a. Charter, Royal Munster Fusilfers,
said that not much stress was laid on the
entente cordiale In France where the peo-
pie generally were extremely peaceful and
unlikely to take up any question In which
Great Britain was concerned unless It was
very much to the advantage OF their own
country. Capt. Battins. Judge Hentoul and
Admiral the Hon. Sir Il. Frenantle also
smoke. The latter said that the human
element In strategy was OF the greatest
Importance. Schools ought to teach gatriof-
tdonal nag was seldom to be seen In the
schools OF this country. though there was
now slight improvement In this respect

about 2:30 o'clock. The men were
discovered in the yard, and did
not make known their business.
Mr.. Barreda was absent from home
and the screams of Mrs. Barreda
attracted the police, who rushed to
the house, but could find no trace
of the men. Some clothes were
taken from the yard, and a plank
pulled loose indicated that robbery
was intended. No arrests have
been made.

Interesting Letter and Gives His
Views on the Subject.

always be true. To illustrate, in
nearly every instance the ferti-
lizers are not tagged until loaded
in the car, for the reason that in
handling and truckingwhen load
ing the goods a great many tags
might be knocked off.
Usually after the manufacturer
has loaded the car Cor while load
ing the cars) places person in
the car to tag each bag, barrel or
package, and in a number of in
stances l have no doubt that the
person doing this tagging, when
he gets through, carelessly walks
out and leaves whatever tags he
may have left over. But can
not believe that the manufacture
ers are having it done intention
ally, for the reason that they are
business men and the tags have
a moneyed value. Of course,
they do not want to destroy that
which is worth dollars and cents
to them. If they desire to create
the impression that they are sell
ing more goods than they really
are, they would go at it in a diff
ferents way. They would not be
these tags all over the
country; they could much easier,
and with much more consistency,
conceal the tags by destroying
them quietly or storing them in
a back room.
I doubt if the manufacturers
intend to create any impression
that they are selling more goods
than they really are. don't be-
1ieve they have any desire to do
this. 1t would be of no benefit
to them to have that impression
or to reduce the price of
cotton. Upon the other hand,
mum Der of manufacturers sell
their fertilizers for cotton and,
of course, they want a high price
for the cotton when it is collect
ed. Again, the manufacturers
and mixers of fertilizers are in
terested in the prosperity of the
country and in a good price for
cotton, so that their customers,
will be able to pay them in the
fal1-those that they have sold TO
on credit.
1 shall be able to tell by the LIST
of July just how many tons of
fertilizers have been shipped into
Georgia. The rules of this De-
partment require that all manu-
facturers and mixers shall re-
port to this office every shipment
of guano made in Georgia, to
whom shipped, where shipped,
the number of tons shipped and
the grade of goods shipped, and
requires that the same be in
All these reports are
made here to this Department,
and we keep record of the same,
and by the LIST of July l hope to
have this record complete and be
able to give to the public just the
mum Der of tons of guano shipped
into Georgia.
Hope this is full and satisfac-
tory. If not, write me and | shall
be glad to give you any 1nfor-
nation that l possibly can.
I do hope that the people OF
the Southern States have pur-
chased less fertilizers this year
than last, and that they have de-
creased their acreage in cotton
very largely. Should we have
another large crop of cotton in
Georgia, together with the sur
plus we now have on hand, we
will feel the effect of it for many
years. Awaiting your early re-
ply, 1 am,
