hint that an effort may be made
to remove Rear Admiral Thomas
Phelps, as commandant of the
Mare Island navy yard, is beliesvd
here today to foreshadow sensa-
tional conflict in naval affairs
which will reach to the highest

Following the removal of Com

suggested that Secretary Meyer,
displeased at the support given
by Phelps to the Newberry plan

have made their way to national union
and security by force of arms. The
imperial instinct controls every Ger
man breast, and the German, knowing
the sword and its uses, may make
way for imperial expansion in spite of
all existing barriers
The Supremacy of the Army.
The German army is the German
empire. The political history of modern
Germany is nothing more or less than
the story of the evolution of the modern
German army. The social and indus
triol progress OF the modern German
nation is to be measured in military
terms, and is controlled by the supreme
influence Of military discipline The
kaiser is a war lord, and every Ger
man is a soldier. Revolving as this
dedication of the spirit of war may
seem in the eres of peaceful republican
citizens of America, there is no doubt
whatever that the Germans, great and
small, like 1t.
Military Service.
Every German man. not physically
disabled, must serve from one TO three
years with the coiors in the regular
standing army, and afterward IN the
three grades of /the reserves until he
is As years oId. From the time a
German boy is old enough to carry
a gun until he is As years Old he is
every day made to be actively con-
sclous that the government may claim
him as a military servant at any time.
Americans, holding TO their own nation
al prejudices. are in the habit of think
ing that the great mass of the Ger
man people is constantly in secret re-
bellion against the system of universal
compulsory service. No greater mis-
take can be made The young lad

just beginning his active service may
be rebelliouS for the time being, but
after he has served his two or three
years, after he has got the education
and training to be had only in the
German army, and after he has dis
covered that all other Germans agree
that he has done nothing more than
the plain duty of every man in serving
the state, then lie is reconciled and
becomes himself an ardent advocate
of the system Thirty years Ago there
was a great annual exodus of emf
grants from Germany to escape the
military service. That condition OF
affairs no longer exists, and strange
as II may seem. congested Germany
is prosperous enough to permit this
annual withdrawal of 100000 young
men from its industries without appar-
ent injury.

The Anglo-SaXon doctrine of individual
