AR MACHINES AND WAR DELAY.

Gen Niles said at the beginning of the war in Eur. ope that if decisive results should be delayed and Che war prolonged it would be because Of the intro duction of the aeropane and the wireless telegraph He had in mind as he explained the practical mpossi. bnty of a commander to mask his movements from an enemy when his maneouvers can be watched by a 6o.miieanhour flying machine and whom messages can be flashed through air hundreds of miles
 It does not require military expert to compare the events Of Che last year in Europe with those of the few days which preceded the battle of Waterloo which was fought 100 years ago yesterday prove the truth Of Gen. Mics observation The grim comedy Of errors which resulted in the overwhelming of Che forces of Napoleon on the field of Waterloo would have been inn possible under modern conditions Military experts agree that tbo campaign which reached its climax at Waterloo was brilliantly planned by Napoleon, but it
 was frustrated by mistakes that would not occur red if Napoleon could have watched his enemy For n- stance Napoleon defeated Butcher at Ligny and took it for granted that the Prussian was retreatng to his base at Namur If he had known that when leaving gny Butcher moved toward wavre for the purpose of joining Wellington he could have attacked him again and pre- vented the juncture before giving Wellington battle. or he could have kept bis cavalry pounding Butchers rear.

 Europe Asia and Africa need our farm products to extent before known, and the export trade of this country during the coming fiscal bids fair to go far above the immense values recorded this ent year.

VISIONS AND GROWTH

 "We live in our visions said President Wilson in his memorial address at Arlington Proverbs says: When there is no vision the people perish Behold ing things ahead is the function of the soul. and so n is the soulless man. who no visions. Tomorrow is the inspiration for today. It is the arena of hope. Now the blessing that out of all these visions is that they depend upon the virtues and nobties of life One does not build visions out hates, pyeju- dices. dsputations envy and vice; and if one wants to live in his visions which is the only real life he will have to cast aside all forms of meanness and malig nity, and look up on the heights. where peace and good wilr preside and be guided by them in all ones thoughts and deeds This is the lesson of the Pres dents remark which is just practical as building a brick wall The who lives to eat and hate will sheer at it.

DESTROYING sans BY SUBMARINES

The frighuulness of the German campaign against British merchant shipping is likely to lead to an exag- gerated estimate of its importance from commercial standpoint We hear much of the ships that are sunk, but only little of those that 30 and come without trouble Some light may be gained upon this point by the statement of the British admiralty showing the losses in merchant shipping date which make the to- tai tonnage of ships captured destroyed something less than half million. That s indeed an impressive total but the tonnage Of the British merchant navy is close to 2O0O0Ooo so that if the destruction amounted a milton toins year it would require 20 years to make an absolutely complete job of the work No doubt statistics showing the total tonnage of British merchant vessels includes many ships which about ready for the marine graveyard but against this fact and against the destruction stands the constau, launching of new boats. There have been periods in which the British merchant marine increased more than million tons in l2 months and shpyards both in Europe and in Ameri- ca are now working overtime It may be that at the end of the war the world win have tonnage than did at the beginning spite of the submarine cam paign.

TAFT BACKS THE pREsIDENT
Seattle Times.)

Seattle ImeS)
 What gratifying circumstance that the United States today has no "jngo" in the White House? If unkind fate had made such decree. then this coun. try would be with Germany
 In substance, former President Taft states the sit uation with respect to President Wilson It is re- freshing with the attitude assumed by other prominent that within twenyiour hours from the sinking of the Lusitana the United States aught to have backed its demands with the American army and navy
 But there is no 'jingo" in the White House ln- stead. Mr. Taft the chief executive appreciates his responsibility and realizes that. considering the temper of the American people a turn of his hand would plunge into international conflict"
 How much getter is the Taft view backing up the occupant of the White House regardless of petty poli ties than the extravagances of politicians who insist that President Wilson has usurped the power of Con- gress and is ready make inroads into the liberties of the people
 If level-headed America can see alright it is the province of the President to guide the country straight avoiding those foreign entanglements which surely would lead to war It is this phase which Mr. Taft elucidates in most timely and convincing fashion

AMUSING STORY ON
 VISCOUNT BRYCE

London, September 10.-(Special) )--The recent and widely regretted passing of Sir James Murray. the great lexicographer of our time. gives topicality to an anus ing little yarn that I heard this week, and which would have entertained nobody more than the late editor of Murray s English Dictionary" himself
 The story, however, is really "on' Wis., count Bryce. the eminent historian and ex- ambassador from Great Britain to the United States. Under the administra- tion of ex-President Taft, 1t seems a proposed arbitration treaty between Brit ain and America was being drawn up by Secretary of State Philander C. Knox and Vircount Bryce. In making a preliminary draft of this treaty. MT. Knox referred to disputes that were "justiciable," |. e., susceptible of being settled by some inde- pendent tribunal viscount Bryce was somewhat inclined to object to this word. which though correct. was, he declared, somewhat old-fashioned," and might not be generally comprehendcd Accordingly, in the cabled summaries of the points in the treaty that were sent to this coun- try. the word "judicable" was used
 The American Secretary of State, how ever, entertained a certain affection for hts word '1usticiable." and bade one of his asslstants to see If he could not find it in representative English dictionaries The assistant (who told the story to mel, being informed that 'Murray's English Dictionary was considered tho premier British lexicon had recourse to 1t, with the result that he duly discovered the word 'justiciable." one of the quotations Illustrating which was taken from. what work do you suppose ?-Why.

of joining the entente group. She wants both Austrian Pennsylvania and Russian Bessarabia, Germany thinks she may gain Roumanias support. Kaiser Wilhelm s plan is to compensate Roumania by giv- ing her Bessarabia as far as the Dnies- ter. East of> the Dniester, the Russian Black sea coast for distance of 200 miles would be given to the buffer state This would make the buffer state mari time power and a rival of Russia in command of the Black sea.
 Kaiser Wilhelms seventh great power would have a frontier running along the Niemen from the point where it enters east Prussia. to Kovno. Russa's third greatest fortress which Won Litzmann captured after 10 days siege From .Kovno the frontier would run northeast to point a few miles south of Dvinsk on the north Dvina, Dvinsk being held by Germany. From Dvinsk the frontier would run along the river to Witebsk a white Russian city; from Witebsk in a straight line to the upper Dnieper at Orsha. and thence along the Dnieper to the Black sea- There it would follow the coast as far as the mouth of the Dnies- ter, and run north along the Dniester bank to the present Galcian frontier, from which the new states frontier would follow the Austro-German frontier as far as the Niemen. If Roumania did not ac- cept Germany's offer. or if she joined the entente group, the plan would be to give Bessarabia between the Dniester and Pruth to the seventh great power. The buffer state would have an oblong shape with a big bulge towards the west in the shape of Poland.
 Falkenhayn holds that the buffer state would be impregnable against Russia The old Polish kingdom perisned beca use |if hoA pn n a hn o< the new kingdom would be covered by the Dvina and the Dnieper. both hard streams to pass The Dvina line is doub- ly strengthened by Q maze of small lakes. similar to the Masurian lake system which Hindenburg turned to such rood use. and the Upper Dnieper is fringed by the vast Rokitno marshes. Napoleon said that this country was made by God for defense" Froms the Rokitno marshes 70 the Black sea the Dnieper is too broad for an army to cross. Falkenhayn's plan is to fortify all the bridge heads, on the lines adopted in fortifying the Lower Wis tula. Such a buffer state would be im- pregnable against Russia, but lelpless against Germany and Austria. which 10 naturally what Kaiser Wilhelmn wants.
 Michailis says that Kaiser Wilhelm has already got name for hfs buffer etate. It is to be called ''Westslavischer Bunds' -the West Slav Confederation. Tho West slav Confederation would be invited to enter into central European economic union of Germany and Austria, which Bismarck aimed at founding. Perha ps Turkey would come in.

ton of 9O0,0O0,000 and have by far the greatest military power on earth.
 Kaiser Wilhelm's plan Is so far only on paper. To realize 1t means not only gain ing Russian territory but also holding 1t so fast that Russia must abandon hope Of victory To compel Russia to that, Germany will have to march far in- land into Russia, and threaten Russia With loss of great Russian territory. To save herself Russia must then abandon altogether her Polish. Lithuanian and Lit tie Russian territory That makes the kaisers plan a bit risky. Some of Kaiser Wilhelms advisers think it would be bet ter to march on Paris. But the Kaiser Is keen on the buffer state. and would like to foil Providence Gas interpreted by Sails bury). If only he wins the seventh great European power may, year hence, have an ambassador at Washington.

instincts and considerable national literatures. Germany's plan is to cre- ate a dualistic federal state with all races equal and no national suprem- acy for any. To emphasize this a new state capital city would be built on a neutral ID. C." somewhere near the linguistic frontiers of Poland, Lithuan- ia, and Little Russia. The three races would govern themselves separately, as Hungarians and Austrians do. and they would combine only for common defence and common diplomacy. The seventh great power would be inde- pendent Germany and Austria would make a joint declaration of Monroe Doctrine" character that they would not allow 1t to enter into alliance with Russia. Short of that, the buffer state could do as 1t liked.
 Kaiser Wilhelm's dream is to bring into his scheme Roumania. which is ruled by Hohenxollern prince. So far Rou- mania has vacillated; before Russias de- feats in Poland she showed strong signs
