alton and prevent what would be dis
N ter not only for France but also for
England and Europe, the British ma
tion should be able to render such
assistance on land to France as we
gave in 1908 to Spain.
In view of the increased size of
modern armies this means that Eng
land must be In position to place
200 1000 to 100000 men in Lorraine
with the most extreme expedition.
The cause is the same. In 1908 Brit
ain cherished no amino ity toward
France but she was determined TO
maintain that balance of power which
is the only gage Of peace. Today
Germany on land plays just the samU
problem ism to injure Germany, but
to prevent her from using her enor'
mouse strength 10 the ruin OF her
weaker neighbors and as corollary
10 that policy an entente should be
developed into defensive alliance
to which Russia should be partner.

sh armaments and the defense ALI.
ance suggested II is grotesque 10 see
any trace of jingolsm. The challenge
to Britain has come from Germany and
the whole history of that country
shows with convincing clearness that
the only means of curbing the immod-
crate ambitions of her military part.
and preserving the peace IS for the
menaced powers TO be strong.
Strength alone can deter her from
delivering the attack wherefor she g.

British government In 1907 replied to

ing the German fleet by corresponding
augmentations of British naval forces
n deathblow might have been dealt to
German naval projects for the present
generation. Had England replied In
rhe present year TO the act OF 1908.
by voting inexorably two keels to Ger
many's one, It at least is possible that
the German nation would have aban.
doned its efforts.
But the two opportunities have
been lost and now there lies before
England n desperate prolonged and
inoriinately costly struggle to hold
her own at sea. Only an overwhelm-
ing pre3onderance Of British force can
now maintain peace. The moment of
attack can be predicted, It will come
when this nation least expects II. Tho
watchword for the day must be con
centntion of all available forces in
the north sea in one strong fleet. For
the future the laying down of two

London, Oct ll.-Was scares are
seldom at their most dangeroW' stage
when they are most talked about.
Real and imminent peril in England,
al all events produces silence, and the
present writer is far from saying that
England and Germany are on the
edge OF conflict. He simply desires
to record the fact, that naval. military
and diplomatic circles in this country
are IN a state Of nervous dread of sud-
den attack in the near future by Ger
man arms.
It is this fact which OF coun'e un-
der no circumstances would be Of
ficially admitted but which undoubt-
edly exists that gives peculiar signif-
icance to one OF the most alarming
warnings, ever addressed to n nation
appearing in the National Review, just
published. this sen ence alone Is suf-
flciently appealing:
1T is known TO those who have their
handi' on national secrets that a Ger.
man diplomatic circular to the pow.
crs IS already drafted announcing
that Germany has delivered her NJ
tack upon England unexpectedly and
in a time of peace. because a res
ponsible officer at the British admiral
ty had intimated to all and sundry
on innumerable occasions that Eng
land would deliver such an attack up
on the German navy, and supporting
the statement by evidence of diploma-
lists ana parties whose words cannot
be hastily rejected.
Tht' statement whether true or
false is the most striking demonstra-
tion ever made OF the ease wherewith
candidacy may at any moment furnish
n plausible casus belli to justify the
article, which bears the signature OF
"Ignotus" and which strongly endorsed
editorlally. is of coune strong con-
demnation OF the present British naval
policy and an appeal for instant action
TO avert, If possible the supposed dan.
ger referred TO in the following ltS
concluding paragraph;
Just as victory over a British fleet
in the north sea is an objective OF
German naval policy. so Is n destruc-
tlon OF the understanding between
