not disappear and ought not to disap-
pear. We must recognize that war has
done much in the past for the progress
of civilization and that the character of
the governments in many countries has
not reached that benevolent and just
stage which would make revolution I'M
justifable. The present war demon
strates that treaties may be broken and
just rights Violated by nations in the
first rank of civilization. Therefore what
the wise optimists in the matter of peace
full means of settling international dis
putes should look for is not a panacea
to abolish war but peaceful means which
may be substituted for war by nations,
which wish to avoid 1t. so that wars
may be made less likely thereby by the
adoption Of such means than without
them"

Leipzig, with the cruisers Nurnberg
and Dresden, composed the German
Pacific fleet which in an engagement
with the British squadron under Rear
Admiral Sir Christopher Cradock off
the coast of Chile on Nov. / sank the
British cruisers Monmouth and Good
Hope, with the loss of about 1900 men.
Since that time British and Japanese
squadrons have been searching for the
German fleet, of which little has been
heard Recent reports from Monteve-
dio, Uruguay, were to the effect that
the German fleet was believed to have
rounded the Cape and entered the
South Atlantic, but there has been no
authentic information of the where
abouts of these vessels since the bat
tie with the British squadron.
The Scharnhorst and Gneisenau
were the largest vessels of the Ger
man fleet. They were sister ships of
II 900 tons displacement. 450 feet on
the water line and were rated at
speed of 221-2 knots. Each carried
a complement of 1865 men, and was
armed with eight SO inch guns, six G.
inch guns, twenty 24-pounders. four
machine guns and four torpedo tubes.
The Leipzig had a displacement of
$3.50 tons and carried 286 men. She
was 341 feet long on the water line
had beam of 43 1-2 feet and was ra-
ted at % knots. Her largest guns, of
which she carried ten were Al inch.
She had also ten 1-pounders, four ma
chine guns and two torpedo tubes.
Admiral Count Won Spec, command
er Of the German squadron, was aboard
the Scharnhorst, which was hs flag
ship.
The British official statement shows
that. as has been reported the German
squadron made its way from the Pa
cific to the Atlantic. The Falkland
islands, near which the German ships
We're sighted lie off the tip of South
America, directly east Of the Straits
of Magellan.

War Comes Suddenly

Modern Wars, the admiral sad,
come on very suddenly and there is lit
tie time for preparation when they occur.
After the relations between countries
have become strained you cannot move
your forces without the move being re-
earded as a hostile act and you would
have to go into action practically just as
you stand. You would have TO be all
ready.
The admiral said the United States was
behind the times in the development OF
air craft and submarine mines, although
he would not say that as to submarines.
He thought it would be wise to have a
liberal appropriation this year for sub
marine mines, aerial craft and auxiliary
weapons of that character"
When asked about the effect Of reach
ing out for South American trade. he re-
piled that if the United States did that
and had interests that confiicted with
other nations, 1.-The United States must
have an adequate. fleet"
