Plans for Any War.

While the war college was preparing
for campaigns In Mexico il was not for
getting the possibility Of campaigns
elsewhere and Of possible defensive
campaigns in Panama and on the west
coast Of the United States. OF course
II will be readily understood what
country the war college men had IN
mind when they were discussing plans
for the protection Of the country west
of the Rockies and the Isthmus OF
Panama against attack.
II Is a fact that today, If the United
States should be thrown into var with
England. with Germany, with France,
with Italy with Russia, with Japan, or
with any other country, plans Instantly
would be forthcoming from the war
college for the conducting OF such land
operations as might be necessary. The
naval war college would produce its
sea fighting Ilans and il would be
found that no matter what nation,
small or great, had made the declara-
ton OF war, there would be ready a
complete scheme Of operations often
siye and defensive for use by the Uni
ted States land and naval forces
