No Cause for Alarm In Roosevelt War Plan

/ 10 invade the United States some
years ago was the cause OF surprise
among army officers rather than the
announcement that such plans were
In existence.
The plans FOR an American cam
paign In foreign territory II this coun
Try should ever become involved In
war are made under the direction OF
members OF the war college section
or the general stan of the army. OF
all the important work done In the
many bureaus OF the United States
government at Washington, less Is
known about what goes on In the big
war college building located In the
southernmost part OF the city than Is
known about the work In any OF the
other branches OF any department.
Much OF the effectiveness OF the
training given officers at the war col
lege depends on secrecy. and for this
reason little or nothing has been pub
lished about the most important part
OF the work carried on In the new
building erected In Washington 10
years ago.
| Work at the army war college Is
divided into two parts. The first In
| cludes the postgraduate instruction
which Is given to young officers after
they have finished the course at West
Point and have also taken the courses
at the service schools at Fort Leav-
enworth. Kan. The second and more
important part OF the work. as viewed
at the present time, includes the
studies In campaign planning which
are made. Plans are made for cam
paigns to defend any and all parts Of
the United States, and also for hand
ling an army on the soil OF any for
eign nation which might become In
volved in war with the United States.

Who could ever forbid Il. r. to

American army officers. The TACT
that plans for foreign invasion are
made Is not TO be considered. they
say, In any way as an indication that

whose territory IL Is planned TO con-

planning Is simply q part OF modern

officers point out.
In planning foreign campaigns the
work Is done entirely on paper, with
the aid of the most modern maps
which can be furnished. II has been
said that the army officers OF rome

The American Army War College
received hundreds of requests at the
beginning OF the war for accurate
maps Of the European war zone. AT
first all persons making inquiries
were told that such maps were not
to be had. The requests multiplied 20
quickly. however, that an army war
college map was finally published and
put on sale and thousands OF copies
have been sold.
During the European war the inter

The German Socialists and the War
BY OSCAR kLAusNER.

The attitude OF the German Social
lists In supporting the German gov.
eminent appears to be a strange one
| I'm view OF the socialistic hostilities
toward militarism and one OF the
many interesting questions raised by
the present war is: Why did the
German Socialists support Kaiser
Wilhelm and take to the arms?"
I will attempt to explain the atti'
tude OF the German Socialists.
+. The leading opponents Of modern
social-democracy were Germans: La
sale. Engels, Liebknecht and Marx
Bismarck fought vigorously against
the uprising economical movement
but he. found his master In August
Bebel, a simple wood carver. And
Germany today Is the stronghold OF
theoreticalvand practical Socialism.
Under the able leadership of Bebol
and Liebknecht. the organization grew
with rapid strides. Bismarck's Aus
nahme-Gesetze' Exceptional laws)
against the Socialistic tidal wave
proved to be a failure. Persecution
has never stopped great issue; to
the contrary, II makes proselytes.
The German government had 20
fight Socialism differently, and II
fought II Socialism. II gave tire
people socialistic laws In homeopathic
doses-from time to time little tea
spoonful. Although these laws and
measures do not fully meet the de-
mands OF the German Socialists, Ger
many today is foremost In laws for
the benefit Of the working classes.
We In Michigan have also working
mems insurance laws, but IL Is very
interesting to see what Germany did
for her working classes.
Insurance Against Sickness.
This insurance is compulsory for

WASHINGTON, Nov. l0vWhiie
the officers OF the United States army
are not willing 20
American make comment on
War plans. The recent state
ment OF Col. The
odore Roosevelt that he has seen
plans made by foreign nations TO
seize American seaports, no one at
the war department has expressed
surprise at the announcement that
the plans were In existence. Ameri-
can army officers are not surprised,
because they know that the strategy
boards, war colleges and general Stars
OF all countries have been active In
recent years In making campaign
plans for the invasion OF foreign ter
ritory In event OF war.
The United States has not been
backward In making plans for pos
sible war In foreign countries, al
though at no time have such plans
been made with the idea that there
was the slightest possibility OF troub.a
with any OF the great world powers
AS army officers view II, the making
of plans for campaigns In foreign ter,
ritory is just as necessary part OF
an army's preparation as provisions
for the equipment OF an army with
rifles and ammunition supplies. In
this day and age II the army OF any
nation tried to invade any foreign
country without having planned In ad
vance it's campaign. military authors
ties say II would be doomed to de
feat before the war had started.
These plans made by the various
countries for the invasion OF foreign
territory are known only TO very
small number OF men among the OH
GERS of any of the great armies. Sc
crecy Is observed in every way. and

At a county fair in small inland

which was rapidly being inflated with
hot air. The smallest man Of the lot
looked about him nervously. and then
yelled at the top of his voice:
Hey. come and take my place,

No one paid any attention to him.

HUERTA FAMILY ESCAPE
Ex-President Supposed to Be on His
Way

Puerto, Mexico, July 16.-Senora
Huerta, with her two sons, Jorge and
Victor, and their wives, and her two
unmarried daughters and Sonora
Banquet, wife of the former war min
lister, and other distinguished refu-
gees, arrived here by special train
from the Mexican capital this morn
ing. The women of the party board
ed the British cruiser Bristol shortly
before noon, and should there be the
least indication of disturbance
something which now appears remote
the men of the party also will be
quartered either on the Bristol or the
German cruiser Dresden.
The railway yards were filled with
soldiery, the pick of the army, select
ed by General Huerta months ago,
when the special was military train
filled with troops, and second mill
tary train guarded the special from
the rear. General Camarena is in com
mand of the forces. which number
400, and include detachment of the
crack Twenty-ninth regiment
Alongside the track the Mexican
gunboat Zaragoza had taken up po-
sition in the river A short distance
out the British cruiser Bristol, which
had arrived a few hours previously,
was moored, and beyond the Bristol
lay the German cruiser Dresden,
which came into the river at top
speed just before the arrival of the
trains.
1t is announced unofficially that an
other British warship is on the way
here from Vera Cruz, and 1t is report
ed that both British and German YES
sells will play parts in the removal
from Mexico of the Huerta and Blan-
quet families.
The coming of the refugees was so
well guarded that when the trains
pulled in hardly a resident of the
town knew anything about it. There
has been no demonstration of any
kind, friendly or otherwise. and none
is anticipated, as the temper of the
people appear to be apathetic. II is
well understood also that the foreign
warships are prepared to render such
service as is necessary to make the
departure of the eX-president, his rel
atives, former officials and friends as
free as possible OF unpleasantness.
