Our assistant secretary Of war, Mr..
Breckenridge. has missed the point OF
the European war, if he Is correctly
quoted. He has returned to England,
from the war zone, and is quoted as
saying that the one great outstanding
lesson for America in the war is: Z" In
time of peace prepare to prevent being
annihilated. He believes a iOrCign
army of 100000 men could go through
the United States from coast to oi~t
if once successfully landed. The Euro
pean nations have taken some notirc-
able measures to "preyent being ami
hilated.' but it has not prevented
the horror of the modern world. The
lesson is for public opinion the worlo
over to insist on an end of war as the
kernel of diplomacy and the mainst ~
of nationally.
