study of the "art of war" We did
not have much left for such trivial
undertakings as the upkeep OF tho
Agricultural Department, the REQ
lamation of our arid and swamp
lands, and the development of our
country through the construction
of good roads. Perhaps the most
convincing opponent of militarism
in Congress is General Isaac h.
Sherwood of Ohio, the only Union
General now occupying a seat in
the House. He entered the Re-
belllon as a private, engaged in AZ
battles and came out General
having been brevetted by Lincoln
for gallantry. He could qualify as
an expert witness on war and its
results and this is what he said on
the floor of the House few months
ago:
sHERwooD's VIEWS.
"A member of the Naval Com
mittee of this House said recently
that the way we are legislating
now our Naval buget will reach
$3.50, ,0OO,0OO in five years. Do you
not think it is time for some one
to brace-up and make some kind
of an effort to scotch this extrava-
CANT and demoralizing, militarism
and vampirism?
"Let us see what eight years
increase in Army and Navy has
cost the American people. The
average annual cost of Army and
Navy for eight years preceding
the Spanish War (18W-1898),
s51 100000; the average annual
cost of Army and Navy for the
eight years since the Spanish War
(1902- -191O), $185, 400, 600; theaver-
age yearly increase in the latter
period as compared with the for
mer, $l34, 100000 making total
increase in eight years Of $1,O72,-
100000 or 36O per cent; all raised
by heartbreaking taxation of the
industrial classes,
This eight year increase exceeds
our entire national debt by $685.
100000 1t is three times the e.
timated cost of the Panama Canal,
including purchase from the
French company. 1t is $50 for
every family in the United States.
NAVY IS TOP HEAVY
1--WE have now an immense, top
heavy navy with $1,000 officers
and middies, mostly parasites on
the body polite, good men and
competent, but with nothing use
ful to do.
"Quite recently twelve of our
useless and expensive war craft
were cast into the junk heap. The
26,OOO-ton battleship North Da-
kota cost $12,OOO,OOO originally,
and when discarded had cost the
taxpayers $2S, 100000.
This $2s, 100000 would build
o ne tn Gus and four hundred
churches at $4,000 each; would
furnish college education for a.
GOO poor young men at $500 a
year"
ANOTHER PROPHECY SPOILED

rency bill, the Republicans told u

pat newspapers, from Gotham to
Walla Walla are just now devot-
ing much space to prophecies con-.
cerning the collapse of President
Wilson's program for regulating
the trusts, and to declarations that
the proposed Presidential primary
has been abandoned, because of
opposition within the Presidents
own party"
These stories have strangely
familiar sound. They remind one
of the yarns which appeared in
the same papers during the fight
for genuine tariff reform and
which bobbed up again when the
President insisted that Congress
must dispose of the currency prob
lem at the extra session. We
were told then, just as we are be-
ing told now, that Congress would
refuse to be "bossed by the Presi-
dent, and that the latter would be
compelled to "back water. OF
course, when the test came the
most perfect harmony was found
to exist between the Legislative and
executive bra inches of the Govern
ment, and the tariff and currency
bills went through the House and
Senate with smashing majorities.
The Standpat prophets were
confounded but not silenced. They
proceed on the theory that if they
persist in forecasting defeat for
Wilson's policies they stand a
chance of having their perspicacity
vindicated at some point along the
legislative trail which the Presi-
dent must travel during his four
years in the White House. 1t
would, indeed, be remarkable if
the President and Congress did
not fail to agree on at least one
substantial issue in four years of
discussion. Even in roulette the
little ball drops at double o"
once in a while. So the prophets
continue to prophecy and-hope
for the worst.
They are doomed to another
grevious disappointment, however.
The Presidents antitrust program
will be approved by Congress and
it will receive as many Republican
and Progressive votes as were cast
for the currency bill, and that
means at least one-third of the
opposition. And the Presidential
primary is coming, too. At the
proper time, the Democratic ma
jority will gather in one of those
delightful little family conferences
which cause opponents 30 much
travail of spirit, and which pro.
duce such excellent legislative re.
suits, agree on the form of the pri-
mary bill and put it through the
House while the average stand-
patter is articulating Jack Robin.

Heap Big Story on
Lieut.. Count WedePs
Dash Through Sedan

Correspondence of The Associated Press
Berlin, Sept. 23.-The second of the ex-
tended reports issued by the General staff
over phases of the European War de-
seribes a scouting expedition of First
Lieutenant Count Wedel, who, at the
head of his regiment of Uhlans, rode out
Aug. % from Bouillon toward Sedan,
charged with discovering whether the
latter place was occupied by the enemy
Count Wedels regiment was at the van
of an army division whose number is not
given. The account says:
According to credible reports, French
troops had already marched through
Sedan and crossed the Mas. Notwith-
standing the fact that German troops,
and more especially advance groups of
patrols, had been fired upon frequently
by remnants of the French troops and al
so from the windows of houses, Count
Wedel. accompanied only by two Uhlans,
rode on toward Sedan. At the entrance
to the city he encountered a patrolling
party of 10 men of his own regiment,
whom he ordered to join him. With
these IL men, Count Wedel rode at a
brisk trot throughout the crooked streets
of Sedan, the men uttering repeated
cheers and everywhere throwing the in
habitants into panic of fear. With
cries of The Lancers! The Uhlansn the
citizens fled TO their houses and barred
windows and doors behind them.
Struggling soldiers. who happened to
be in the streets threw their guns away
and joined in the flight. Count Wedel
fired with his revolver at a number of
persons who still retained their guns,
and these hastily threw their weapons
away. At one street corner the count
suddenly encountered a detachment of
some 80 French infantrymen, who opened
a rapid fire on the patrol. One non-com-
mssioned officer fell, both he and his
horse struck by several bullets. Sergeant
Jansen. who regularly rode beside Count
Wedel and who had characterized him
self by great fearlessness. gave the pa
troll, which was some 80 PAGES in the rear.
the signal to halt, and the little group re-
tired at a sharp gallop. under steady
fire from the houses.
after his daring ride Count Wedel was
able to report to his commander that Sc
dan was free of the enemy, with the ex-
ception of a few stragglers.
1.-The count was not fired at by resi-
dents of Sedan. His sudden appearance

simply fled wildly and none of them

GERMANS DENY ANY
FRICTION IN ARMIES
ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence

ASSOCIATED Press Correspondence
The Hague, Sept. 22.-Major General
Won Hoefer, acting chief of the Austro-
Hungarian general staff, in an interview
which has appeared here says
I'm several foreign papers the assertion
has been made that some of our troops,
from one nationality or another, had not
met expectations. An English source
which is identified with the dissemination
of the most foolish sort of canards as
serted there had been a mutiny in the
Bohemian regiments.
'Falsehoods such as these must be
given attention. They are intended to
spread among those who are not familiar
with conditions in this monarchy, the
impression that today, unlike in former
times, our soldiers oath to fight every
enemy has lost its meaning. In this
fight, which has been forced upon u.s. our
men have fought with the determination
to Guido one another in bravery, be this
on the Russo-Galician frontier or the
Balkan theaters of war. Germans, Mag
vars, South and North Slavs, Italians
and Roumanians fought with the same
heroism and in the same spirit of loyalty
to the supreme commander and their
country. Our troops have never failed
to take difficult positions, or engage a
numerically superior enemy with the
greatest courage"
