URGES PREPARATION
OF THE u. S. FOR WAR

Princeton, N. j., December General
disarmament and universal peace will moi
follow the European war and the United
States may have trouble with tine winner
were predictions made by George B. Nc
Clellan, former mayor of New York, and
now professor of economic history in
Princeton university in an address here
tonight.
mo matter who WINS said Professor
Mcclellan, "it is almost certain that at
some not far distant date we shall be
confronted with the alternative of aban-
doning the Monroe doctrine or fighting
to maintain it. If we fight for it in OH,
present unprepared condition, there can
be but one outcome. A triumphant and
victorious Germany would have little TO
fear from us and while we possibly might
check Japan by herself, We scarcely could
hope to do so il she received help
The cause of war, according to Profess
sor Mcclellan, is the spirit of nationality
which has seized all of Europe and the
present war cannot be charged against
any one man or group of men.
Professor Mcclellan made strong ap-
peal that Americans awake to their pres
ent condition of unpreparedness and that
immediate steps be taken to build up q
national defense.

through the adaptation of higher ideals
and standards. Yet to me this report on
the death in one year of 1861 men engaged
in peaceful industry is quite as discred-
liable. In the last three years American
mines and quarries have swallowed up TO-
4s7 human lives and have incapactated
temporarily probably quarter of q mil
lion men.
II believe l am conservative when l say
that half of the 1851 men killed last year
might have escaped had all the various
agencies involved. the operators, the
miners, and the state and national gov
ernments, done their full duty In the mat
ter. For the bureau of mines, as repre-
senting the federal government, can say
that, owing to lack of adequate funds,
this bureau has fallen short of taking
its full part in this great safety move
ment; and | therefore hesitate to criticize
the seeming shortcomings OF any other
agency.
1T Is not to the credit of the United
States that the European countries en-
broiled in war kill in the mining indus
tries but one-half or even one-third OF
the number of men we KILL"

GERMANS REPORT
SUCCESS AT LODI

Berlin, December 2-Q2:40 a. M, via

Russian official communication of Novem-
Der 20, German headquarters says;
"A great story of success for the Ger
man troops has come to light in the fight
ing near Lodz. German forces operat-
ing against the right flank and in the
rear of the Russians, in their turn, were
attacked by Russians. who pressed them
hard, coming from the east and south.
THE Germans turned from the Russians
with whom they were engaged and fought
a bitter three days fight, breaking
through the Russian wing. In doing so
they brought with them 1900 prisoners
as we'll as % guns and lost only one
German gun
THE German losses naturally were not
small. but they certainly could not be
described as awful

Countrywide Shipping Arrangements
Made BY American Relief Com
mission-Urge Immediate
Action

New York, December 1.--"Ship at once
to the nearest seaport"
This message was sent today by the
GUM to more than 1000 committees in the
United States. The commission has per-
fected countrywide shipping arrange
ments and 1t is expected that vast guam
titles of food and clothing at various
city and state headquarters in day
or two will begin to move to every i'm
portant port in the United States
For convenience in handling and ship
ping foodstuffs, the commission has re-
quested all local organizations to affiliate
themselves with state committees. Where
there is no state committee. the local re-
lief parties are requested to arrange
storage depots for small lots that can
be assembled in carload lots. The COM
mission arranges shipping free of charge
from the seaboard to Belgium and agrees
to pay all railroad freight charges in
cases where the railroads themselves are
not shipping free. A system is being
worked out SO that express and parcel
post lots may be sent free of charge to
inland centers in each state.
The commission made public list Of
state committees already organized to-
gether with their executive heads. They
include:
Alabama, James Bowron. Birmingham:

the United States and authorizing the ap-
pointment of a committee of so to organize

Advantage of Kiel Canal

The great Importance of the Kiel canal
in the present struggle of Germany
against the combined forces of the triple
entente has been largely overlooked, but
is a matter that IL liable to become very
apparent at any moment. An expert in
naval matters writing in the special war
number of the Scientific American brings
out some of the vital features of the sit
uation as affected by the canal:
Another and most important strategical
advantage in the German situation is the
Kaiser Wilhelm canal which affords
quick passage for the largest battleships
from the Baltic to the North sea. This
canal practically cuts the British fighting
line in half. 1t was built for this very
purpose.
For If the British should force their
way into the Baltic the German fleet
could pass to the North sea through the
canal and the Elbe, steam to the English
channel, sink the vast fleet of transports
that are carrying men and supplies to
the English army In Belgium and harry
the whole English and French coasts.
Hence in seeking to bring the German
fleet to action it would be necessary for
England to leave half her fleet at the
mouth Of the Elbe and send the other half
around Denmark into the Baltic This
would mean that, so far as her dread
naught strength is concerned, Germany
could elect to fight either fleet under equal
conditions.
The only other way to get at the Ger
mans would be to reduce the coast forth
fications with an expeditionary army.
But the German. coast on the North sea
is so shoal thsD the landing of such a
force from transports is out of the ques-
tion. There remains only one way in
which it could be attempted.
If England followed Germany's example
by violating the neutrality of Holland. or
should Holland enter the triple alliance.
Amsterdam would form an excellent base
for an expedition for the reduction of the
Wilhelmshaven and Cuxhaven fortihca-
tons. This would open the way for the
seizure of the North sea end of the hfe
canal Should Russia continue her sue
cessful invasion of Prussia she might ir
time, though at an enormous sacrifice
capture Dan.ig, Stettin, and with the ale
of the English even Kiel itself. THAI
would seal the doom of the German feet
ran it be done? The factors of time
and cost are against 1t.

NAON ADDRESSES
LITERARY SOCIETY

Raleigh, n. c., December 1.-Compul-
sorry arbitration of International difficult
ties rather than a resort to force of
arms, was advocated here tonight by DIR.
Rorlnla s Naon. minister from Argei,-
tina to the United States, in address
before the North Carolina Literary and
Historical association. He declared that
for IS years it had been the policy of
his country to bind the nations of the
world TO it by means of arbitration
treaties.
DR.. Naon's subject was Some Argen-
tine IDEAS He traced the political de-
velopment of his country, comparing It's
constitution and laws with those of the
United States.
Dealing with arbitration he declared
that while military and naval service
wereScompulsory in Argentina, the people
did not relish the idea of going to war
except as a last resort. Therefore the
arbitration of international difficulties
had been made policy for over half q
century.
