DEFENSE
IS BIC PROBLEM
BEFORE BRITAIN
Three Different Factions in Eng
land Dispute as to Best Plan of
Insuring Against Invasion.
BY PHILIP EVERETT.
pecial Gable to The American.

LONDON, July l2.-There was a
time when England, trusting her
proud, invincible navy, felt as safe
as if the whole country were protected
by a bombproof shelter. but nowadays
the public mind is forever taken up
with deliberations of the question if
England really is capable of resisting
any enemy and how the country may
best defend herself il the occasion
should arise.
England's political situation In the
world, of course, is not 50 very bad.
With justifiable pride we point to the
fact that the country's traditional
world policy is still triumphant time
and again, and at present England
hardly has a rival able to move his
arms so freely as England herself.
Britain Political Center.
We make the most of the fact that
the now ended war in the Balkans
at its finish moved the political CEN
ter of gravity toward Great Britain. 1t
Is also a fact that as far as diplomatic
success among the powers is con-
cerned England emerged at least tenn
porarily an easy winner, whose states
men are still studying and observing
the remaining Balkan problems so as
to get the greatest possible benefit
from them. That Sir Edward Grey
has proved himself a diplomat of rank
even the most bitter opponents of the
present government willingly admit.
But, in spite of all our diplomatic
successes and our growing political
prestige, we look with fear and appre-
hension at the rapid growth, not only
among the great powers, but also in
the smaller countries. OF naVies, dir
igibles, aeroplanes and armies, We
realize, perhaps, even to eXaggeration,
Vhat thfn military and nQVQl AVnlfTffnn
in other countries has created new
state of affairs, which makes 1t ride
ulous or even criminal to indulge in
the old time dreams of England's
safety and impregnability.
Nation Is Divided.
When the question arises how Eng
land is to be defended against a hos
tile attack, the people divide them
selves into three camps. The first of
these consists Of a dwindly party Of
people who insist that England should
place her whole trust in her navy.
This does not mean to say that the
English people have less confidence
| in their navy than before, for this
| Is very far from being the case, but 1t
| is realized that with the evolution Of
! the various arms of attack the field OF
| activity and usefulness OF the navy
| has diminished.
The most numerous party in the
country consists of those who place
their trust I'm intelligent cooperation
between the navy and the territorial
army. This view is held by the ad-
miral-in-c chief of the navy. Prince
Louis of Battenberg, who recently
openly declared that, unassisted, the
navy would not be able to protect the
country. but that a we'll drilled army
was an absolute necessity.
