GERMAN ON OUR ARMY.
Colonel lie Juse at Berlin Praises
Observation-Disclosures Rank and File.

BERLIN, Jan. 13.-"The mObiliza-
ton of the United States army under
present conditions would obviously pro-
duce a very poor result" says Lieuten-
ant Colonel lie Juge Of the German
army, speaking of the land forces OF
the United States, although the sor-
rowful spectacles of the year 1898
would not be reproduced"
The author has nothing but praise
for the officers, who, he states, are
keen, conscientious and well educated.
Among the men, however, he finds
great lack of discipline. AS to the gen.
eral organization, he records the prev
alent opinion in professional circles In
Europe that 1t lacks cohesion.
mo preparation for war is made
during peace, no organization of the
units into armies with their requisite
STATS has been drawn up, and no pro.
vision is made for supply" This sup
ply Is due, he considers, to the general
belief of the American public-in spite
of the demands Of far seeing military
men and Of the press for mobiliza
ton scheme-that all that Is necessary
on the outbreak of war is to fill vi
with volunteers the ranks of regiments
kept on weak peace footing and Their
form them into brigades, divisions and
army corps. But" he continues, ''s
! critical view of the conditions Of this
army, Notwithstanding its good equip
ment and armament, does not make tn
outlook hopeful in case of hostilitie'
with great military power"
AS to the national guard, he states
that competent foreign observers re
gard this force as of very small value
as 1t is thought that of the 10000
men enrolled not more than $4,000 a
the highest estimate would be fit TO
service.
