TAFT PREDICTS WORLDS GREATEST WAR IN
 WHICH UNITED STATES MUST BEAR BURDEN

the lives of our best young men and youth
 "It is hard to prophecy Che scope of war like this because history offers no precedent It Is impossible Co foresee the limits of a war of any proportions when confined only Co two countries In our own small Spanish war we began it Co free Cuba and when the war closed we found ourselves 10000 miles away with the Philippines on our hands
 "The immense waste of life and treasure in modern war makes the loss to the conquerer only less. 1T inc deed it be less, than the loss Co the conquered.
 Dynasties at Stake
 with a high patriotic spirit peo- pie enter upon war with confidence and with the thought Of martial glory and success The sacrifices they have to make, the suffering they have Co undergo are generally such that if victory does not rest upon their banners they seek a scapegoat for that which they themselves have brought on in the head of the state, and the king or emperor who begins a war or allows one to begin puts at stake not only the prestige of his na- ton but also the stability and integ- rity of his dynasty
 "In such war as this. therefore with the universal tendency to popu- lar control In every country. the strain and defeat in war may lead to a state of political Aux in those coun- tries which shall suffer defeat with an the attendant difficulties and dis order that a change Of government involves.
 Fortunate in Our Neutrality
 While we can be sure that such war as this taking it by and large, will be a burden upon the United States and is great misfortune looked at solely from the standpoint of the United States We have every reason to be happy that we are able to preserve strict neutrality in re- spect to it Within our hospitable boundaries we have living prosper ous and contented emigrants in large numbers from all the countries who are 10 take part in the war. and the sympathies of these people will of course be with their respective ma tive lands. Were there no other req son this circumstance would tend to keep us free from any entanglement"

tive Compulsory service is personal for an able bodied men and pecuniary for all who are incapable of personal service. These latter must pay an indirect tax of 30 per cent additional.
 The military forces are divided inc to national army and the Landstrum. which forms the last line of defense. Service in the national army begins at twenty-one and ends after forty-nve. In the Landstrum it begins at seven teen. ends at twenty-one, begins again at lorty-dve and ends at fifty.
 The national army consists of three bans. the first ban including all able bodied men between twenty-one and thirty-one; the second ban all be- tween thirty-one and thirty-eight. and Che third those between thirty-eight and forty-hve
 "The first ban has it's cadre. a school through which every able bodied man of twenty-one must pass. No one is allowed to change his nationality while belonging to the first ban: nor can any member thereof receive any outside appointment or become even a monk until he has served his term in the army
 "The term of service in the stand. ing cadre is two years in the cavalry and artillery and one and half years in the other branches of the establishment. There is a six months service for those in the schools of fbo country who can pass an examination for lieutenant Of reserves. There is also a six months enlistment for re- cruits from whose homes at least two others have served the full time.
 "All those who possess cattle and suitable carts are under obligation to turn them over to the army when needed. Those who do not possess cattle and carts have five per cent added to their taxes for the remount fund"

 Germany Should Stay in Port
 In the first line Of battle Germany would be much inferior to England and France and hopelessly over matched in reserve ships if they were needed But @ war upon the sea would be sudden and sharp unless the German fleet retired 10 the three har- bor sof Wilhelmehayen and to the naval station of Kiel on the Baltic, to which access can always be had from the North Sea by tho ;suiser Wilhelm canal The outpost of Heligoland has been w5H fortified and 10 Its im- proved harbor it provides a rendez- vous and refuge for warships but it would hardly be the initial policy of Che German admiralty to use Heligo- land except as base for torpedo boat attack

 "The original dreadnought idea was ship with all big guns of twelve or fourteeninch calibre and a few smaller guns. say three or four inch calibre for use against torpedo boats. But the size of the lesser battery has been creeping up year by year until our newest ships have siX-inch guns with the fourteens. and ] understand some vessels have eight-nch guns, which are pretty sizeable weapons for any use.
 CT believe this war will show that a. we'll distributed fire by the me dium-sized guns will do much more damage than the slower single shots of the big fellows"
 May this possibly mean a return 70 Jhe use or smaller-calibre guns2" Admiral Mahan was asked.
 "The results of the naval battles will tell that cannot be said now" he replied
 The admiral declined to comment upon the comparative fighting ability or guunery of the nations involved or to be involved Nor would he ad vance any theories as 10 the damage likely Co be inflicted upon the ex. tremely large fighting craft by sub marines or by air craft.

Sir Percy Scott would affirming that the torpedo boat hotilla would play at least an equal part with the battleships and battle cruisers, but this is a point to be settled in the shock of sea powers of the first rank It is impossible to say exact ly how many dreadnoughts of both classes England, Germany and France have in commission and prepared Co enter a fleet action at this time.

the report is another canard which
has gained general credence like the
widely spread and firmly believed
story Of the passage of q Russian
army through Great Britain to France,
American newspapers containing the
story have been sold on the news

organs ofthe present government pub
lished a pointed protest recently. A
censorship is a wholly new exper-
fence for. English newspapers. They
have quickly adjusted themselves to
the possibilities of defying it in the
spirit while observing it in the let

not mention the Audacious, but it
said, and everyone understood the
meaning: n.

the German papers. There is scarce
ly an important public in the world,
that is to say, which has not now re-
ceived a full report Of the alleged
occurrence, except that n which is
most directly affected by it.
"The truth or falsehocd Of the re-
ports is a matter on which judgment
may, and indeed for the moment must,
be suspended. 1t is Ineligible that
the authorities may have good reasons
for delaying the publication of news,
favorable or otherwise, until a time
when in their Judgment it's publica-
ton will be more effective or least
prejudicial to the public interests. The
sincere study and understanding OF
national psychology may be Of import
