HARD TASK BEFORE
US, SAYS MARSHALL
Vice President Sees Difficulty
in Maintaining Trade and
Keeping Neutral.

Vice President Thomas r. Marshall.
in expressing himself or the European
war today. declared that one OF the
greatest problems of American states
manship will be to devise plans for
carrying American products to Europe
and yet maintain not only diplomatic.
but a genuine impartiality between the
nations engaged in the conflict.
The Vice President said that he had
long been expecting war. because ma
lions. like individuals, cannot maintain
great armies without being tempted TO
use them.
My dream Is that without a great
war the impending danger will teach
the nations of the world. the United
States included. that as there is no per
sonal dishonor which may not honor
ably be left to the settlement OF the
courts, so there Is no n6tiorai 'lishonor
which may not safely be left to a
tribunal for peaceable settlement. II
the dream does not come true the hor-
rors of war will result in the practical
disarmament OF the great powers. the
establishment OF an International trib-
world police force to enforce. II need
full. the DEGREES Of tnat court.
When We consider that we have
started out to build a great nav and
that payment OF pensions and prepare
lions for future pensions has absorbed
6 per cent OF the Governments reve-
nues, the public sentiment of America
will soon or late drive us to arbitra-
ton"

Fighting Strength in
Armies Kept Secret

The full strength of the military
forces ON all sides in the European con-
troversy are being withheld while the
statesmen and diplometists in the CAPT.
tails are playing the last cards in the
desperate game of diplomacy in the hope
not Of averting a general war. but of
securing individually such advantages
as may be obtained through delayed ac-
ton. This belief is entertained by army
strategists here, who express surprise
at the comparatively slow beginning of
the German campaign.
At the Army War College, an institu-
ton patterned largely on the great Ger
man war machine known as the general
staff, it was understood tnat so per-
fectectly had every detail Of Germany
offensive campaign against both France
and Russia been worked out that The
first blows would fall ike lightning
strokes out OF a clear sky within TWEEN
ty-four hours after the declaration of
war II had heen axnscteh that after
the order for mobilization the first Ger
advanced across both eastern and west
tries.
After looking over all data Of the
operations, however. the strategists
have realized that the plans Of
the campaign have not unfolded far
enough to admit OF a guess as to the
real purpose OF the great military lead

Canal Free to World.

When II is open, Secretary Garrison

warship of any nation will have the
right of peaceable and uninterrupted
passage through it"
Some suggestion has been made
that warships of some of the nations
now at war might attempt TO use the
canal before ii was formally opened.
But the rashness of such an attempt,
with the United States prepared. as
it is. to defend the canal, makes such
thing highly improbable.
Naval experts here, though maintain.
ing a neutral stand. naturally look al

that the German naval forces, IL not
