within a few days of starvation.
Great Britain is never more than a
handful Of months from the end Of
its supplies ON hand. The possibility
of losing control of the seas and
therefore being cut off from food is
the one everweening horror of every

government is adopting to insure
against panic over the food supply.

Cerman-Austrian alliance and on the
side of the entente are admirable
armies. The German army is a
magnificent war machine. The
French army is a powerful, one. not
to be compared with the urcrganized
force that went down in 1871 to hu-
initiating defeat. Russia has reor-
gained her army. In spite of the
habit of the Germans to sneer at the
English army, the British regiments
on the Continent may be relied on
for hard service. The Belgians have
proved their merit. The Servians
have survived the severest of tests.
The Austrian forces are untried but
well organized.
But what of the leadership of
these armies? This is a factor in
the equation of war that must be re-
garded as utterly unknown, unless it
be said the Servian commanders
have repeatedly proven their capac-
ity. Neither the Kaiser, nor Won
Moltke under him; neither the
French commander, Joffrc; neither
Lord Kitchener nor any of the other
men now responsible for the conduct
of great campaigns has ever been
called on to face such military prob
lens as are today presented. How
far the generals under the Gar have
gained knowledge in the hard school
Of the Japanese war is not fully I'M
derstood from this distance, though
it may be assumed that schooling
has not been entirely lost.
A Napoleon at the head of the
German army or Napoleon at the
head of the allies, with the armies
that would be at his command, could
accomplish the unexpected, the
things. to the ordinary mind, impos-
sible.
1t may be the time is ripe for an
other great military genius to ap-
pear on the scene. If he does, paper
will be of little weight.

RIVER AND HARBOR
LEGISLATION.

Whether the pending river and
harbor bill will be enacted this ses-
sion remains a matter of dispute
Ibis is the s53,000,O0O measure
which has been bitterly denounced
as "pork barrel" bill and on which
Senator Burton some days ago led a
strong fight in the Senate.
The advocates of the bill are per-
sietent in their determination to
pass it. Lobbies are at work in be-
half Of it.
However, it is a safe conjecture
that in its present form it will not
be enacted this session. The Euro
pean war and the decline in revenue
bring about situation that makes 1t
difficult for the Democratic leaders
to stand sponsor for this legislation.
To enact bill which would OF a
certainty infict on the Treasury at
the end Of the current fiscal year
huge deficit while the country is at
the same time burdened with war
taxes would be such political folly
that it would seem even those Sena-
tors and members of Congress whose
paramount business In Washington
is to get a finger in the Treasury pie
and grab off their full quota OF po-
.itical JOBS would hesitate.
Certain legitimate river and har-
Dor improvements ought to be cared
for. But that is no reason why the
rending bill, laden down with useless
projects, should be enacted. If not
i,eld up entirely, it should be ex-
lurgated.

country; they are becoming more
and more consumers, not producers,
of the things that the country only
affords.
Therefore, a successful municipal
market system, even if established
in every city, would serve to do lit
tie more than arrest the advance of
prices, not TO bring definite and last
ing reductions in them.
But the advance of prices will go
on and on unless some such effective
measures be taken to stop them. The
civilization of America confronts the
beginnings of the same crisis that
brought the ruin of Rome: the eco
nomic stress is getting so heavy that
a great mass of the people cannot
bear it. Rome did not fall before
the barbarians until after her abnor-
NAL economic circumstances had
weakened her beyond capacity for
resistance. Rome's greatness was
starved out of her, not wrested from
her by the Goths. America has at
least the advantage of knowing that
much about Rome, and of under
standing it. If it shall not then take
precaution to avoid the fate of Rome.
it will be a sorry venture that we
will have made in the realm of civil
ization building two thousand years
after Rome gave her lesson to. the
world

WAR QUESTION BOX

Tell something of the duration
and results of recent wars.
The three most recent central
European wars were settled In
very short time. In 1865 the Aus
tro-Prussian war. between the two
nations who are now allies. lasted
but seven weeks. with Prussia the
victor. In 1859 France and sar-
dinia also defeated Austria. in a
war which lasted only a month.
In the Franco-Prussian war. 1870.
the general fighting lasted barely
a month. although it was several
months from the time the war be-
gan until the peace treaty was
signed.
The Russo-Turkish war. six years
afterward. was longer by a year
or more, but the Turco-Greek war
In the nineties was the matter of
but one swift campaign. The Rus
so-Japanese war also was COM
paratively brief. The duration of
