war as one Of calculated aggressive
ness by Germany and an inexcusable
act. He ventured the opinion that the
absence of the German emperor from
Berlin at the time of the Austrian ulti-
matum to Servia was an act cleverly
designed to deceive. The admiral also
gave several important opinions upon
the probable strategy Of the naval
powers OF the nations. He said:
THE aggressive insolence OF Aus
tria's ultimatum to Servia. taken with
the concession by the latter Of all the
demands except those too humiliating
for national self-respect, indicate that
the real cause of the war Is other than
set forth by the ultimatum
"knowing from past experience how
the matter must be viewed by Russia,
1t is incredible that Austria would have
ventured on the ultimatum unless as
sured beforehand of the consent of
Germany to 1t. The inference is ire
sistible that the substance of the ult!
matum was the preteXt for Il war al
ready determined on as soon as plaus-
ible occasion offered
Fear of the Slav
"The cause of this predetermination
is to be found in the growing strength
OF Russia on recovering from it's war
with Japan. With the known detcien
cies of French armamentS, which were
recently admitted, the moment was
auspicious for striking down France
and Russia before they regained
strength. The motives are to be found
in Austria's apprehension of the grow
ing Slav power in the south and that
of Germany concerning Russia on the
east.
"Germany's procedure Is to over
| whelm at once by concentrated prep
| aration and impetuous momentum. II it
fails in this 1t is less able TO sustain
prolonged aggression as was indicated
in the Franco -Prussian war during and
after the siege of Paris.
Can Hold Up Commerce.
The British fleet which is superior
to that of Germany. has the power to
prevent all commerce under the Ger
man flag, and, by blockade, to close
against neutrals all the rivers properly
German except those empting into the
Baltic. The British feet is not strons
enough to divide for blockade In both
Baltic and North seas. The Rhine.
emptying thru neutral Holland. can
not be blockaded
IF the first German rush proves in
decisive or prolonged, the financial
pressure thus in the power OF Great
| Britain may determine the issue or
may force the German fleet in fight
In which case the issues will be de-
termined by battle.
IF Germany succeeds in downing
both France and Russia. Il gains a re-
spite by lana wifiicss: may enc hle Il to

Rear Admiral Mahan Says Fleet Should

Quogue. n. V. Aug. 4.-Rear Admiral
Fred r. Mahan, u S. N, retired. the
foremost authority on naval affairs. as g.
serted that Great Britain must at once
throw it's preponderating fleet against
Germany for the chief purpose OF main

power. For England. he said. 1t was n

Admiral Mahan similarly holds the
unusual view that Italy must join the
war within a weeks time, not as a
partner of the triple alliance but as an
ally of France and Russia. Italy must
take this step. he said. and hold the
Austrians in check for the salvation
