AMERICAN ARMY EXPERT
SEES US BEATEN IN WAR.
Captain Malone Says New York's Fate
Would Be Like ConstantinopIe's

A horrible fate is coming to this coun
try because of our unpreparedness for
war, according to Captain Paul b. Ma
lone, until recently a member of the
general staff of the United States army.
Speaking at a dinner of the Boollsell-
ers' league Of New York, he said:
Fright here in the streets of New
York we snail in all probability face
the fate which awaits ConStanSnople
at the hands of some nation which
realizes that by an appeal to arms all
the chances of successful competition
may be turned in her favor while by
continuance of peace control of a COM
mon trade terminus will be lost, result
ing in a trade disadvantage more hurt
full to her national prestige than the
combined effect of all her wars
eve have done practically nothing to
prepare for this struggle but to boast
of a military proves which we never
possessed We cry peace with our
lips, yet by our commercial policy we
carry relentless war into every part Of
the civilized world.
Never in the history of the country
has the military situation been more
chaotic. Outside the regular army the
country must rely for an eXpeditionary
force upon the militia, and yet the at
torney general has decided that militia
cannot be ordered beyond our borders,
Notwithstanding the provisions of the
Dick bill, which contemplates their
use wherever the flag may call them.
bills to correct the evil are before
congress, but the prospect Of favorable
consideration is remote. and it is high
~ probable that the next emergency
which confronts US will find us, as in
the past, compelled to change the whole
existing military structure and organ
ize on the eve OF battle.

its logical consequences Some day we
shall pay the price
