Former Secretary of the Navy George
Won l. Meyer. writing on Americas
History of Unpreparedness," in the first
number Of the new magazine. states
that '4he history OF national defense
In the United States ha. been one con-
tinuaf history of unpreparedness," and
that "in our early history Is was the
invariab BILE support Of the French feet
which at the psychological moment
gave us our freedom" The only at
tack this country need fear. says the
ex-secretary, is one from some great
naval power, and FOR that reason an
adequate navy is needed most of all,
He goes on:
OF the thirty-five hattlesbtps that
we have today twenty-one are in COM
mission and ready for emergency tthis
as of June 1879. OF these twenty lone
have broken shafts, and fourth Is
turbine hattieship, which was put
out of commission because ii needs to
be thoroughly overhauled. In addi-
ton to that there are seventy fighting
vessels which are not ready to be
called for an emergency. because they
are out of commission and would re-
quirs long overhauling. We lack
battle cruisers. scout cruisers, aero
planes and armed airships. Our sub
marine fleet Is in critical condition"
"Tt Is the lack of any definite naval
policy of the people and Congress to
recognize the necessity for such
policy" he adds, that has placed us in
a position of inferiority. which cir
cumstances may lead to war or cause
us great embarrassment as well as dis
credit TO the country"
The magazine in one of it's editorials
on 1.-The Continental Army" says "The
proposed organization of continental
army removes from the Swiss system
Of military training everything that
makes that system a success"

ITALY MAY WIN BALKAN STATES.
Rumania Expected to Join Quadruple
Entente In a Short Time.

London, Aug. 2S.-Italy's declaration
of war against Turkey is expected to
have an almost immediate effect on
the Balkan states, which still are de-
batting which side they will take in
the conflict.
The relations between Italy and Ru-
mania for years have been very init
mate, and the opinion is expressed
here that it is probable, especially in
view of the threatening attitude of
the Germanic powers toward Rumania
because of her refusal to allow am
munition to pass through her terri
tory, that now Italy has broken rela-
tions with Turkey Rumania will join
the quadruple entente.
Bulgaria is still waiting for the re-
ply of Serbia to the suggestions of
the entente ministers that Serbia cede
Macedonia to Bulgaria, while Greece
is likely to declare her future policy
when the chamber meets this week
The opinion is expressed in diplomatic
circles here that it is significant that
M. Venizelos, who always has been
friendly to the entente, has decided to
take charge, in addition to the Gre
clan premiership, of the office of min
lister of foreign affairs.
With the inclusion of Italy among
Turkeys opponents in the war; and
the formers well-known desire fol-
expansion in the near east, the Balkan
states may consider that the time is
ripe for them to enter the field and
secure for themselves a share of what
falls to the victorious group. 1t is fol
them to decide which side is likely tC
win.
