War Narrowly Averted.
There was q situation where tho
slightest untoward accident would have
sent the German and American fleets
at each other hammer and tongs.
The result would have been war be-
tween Germany and the United States,
and nothing could have stepped It. 1t
would have made no difference whether
the action IN Msnils bay resulted In VIC
which side the judEment Of history laid
the blame. The people of each nation
would have famed with wrath over the
collision and would have eagerly sup
Yet neither country and neither gov
ernfnent wanted war. Certainly nothing
was farther from the wishes Of the Adj
ministration in washington that sum
many, ana the attitude Of the German
government was shown In Its cxplana-
ton and depreciation Of the performs
ances Of Admiral Won Diederichs.
' Germany Ready In 1898.
Now consider what the result Of such
a war would have been. The contest
with Spain disclosed to the point Of alb
ject humiliation the absolute unrepared-
ness of the United States for war. Even
after months OF tension that should
have warned, and did, in fact, warn our
Government Of the very grave probable.

But Germany was proportionately as
ready then az she was last August. when
the present disastrous struggle now go,
ing on in Europe was begun. She did
not have her 42-centimeter howitzers or
her her fleets OF Zeppelins and "gross-bal-
looms Her army was not as large by
some divisions and she had not as many
or as great battleships and armored
cruisers. The submarine was In Its In

Kaiser's Army Was Prepared.
But the morale and the wonderful ef-
ficiency were the same then as now.
Her soldiers and sailors were as well
trained and disciplined. Differed. and
equipped. And they were as we'll sup
piled. They were armed with high
power rifles. Rifles and guns used
smokeless powder and their shells were
fllled with the high explosive. Ger.
many had at least a hundred trained
men to our one, and her schoolboys
knew more OF military training than
our grownups.
We sent regiment after regiment Of
undisciplined militia and unframed vol
unteers into the field armed with the
black powder Springfield rifles Of IS to
fight the smokeless Mausers Of Spain.
we sent regiments into the field

U. 8. Escaped War With Chile.
An incident occurred in Valparaiso,
Chile. in October. 1891. that would have
furnished this government with an ex-
cellent pretext for war II there had ex-
listed any reason why we should desire
to make war on the Chileans.
Or II. on the other hand. Chile had
desired war with the United States end
had felt herself ready to make it, she
could hardly have devised an easier or
more certain method Of bringing It
about.
There had been a civil war in Chile,
and the rebels had Just succeeded in
overthrowing the government and set
ting up their own party There was q
successful party against the United
States because, earlier in tho year, one
Of the armed vessels Of the insurgents
had been held UP In the harbor Of San
Diego, Cal, by United States officials
for, violation Of our neutrality laws.

Under these circumstances an out

not surprising. The opportunity occur

Beers, Lacked Preparation.
Why was IL that the Jameson raid
did not precipitate war between the
British and the Beers?
Chiefly because the Beers were not
ready or desirous for such a war.
They knew they were not able to night
Great Britain. They knew that war
would seriously endanger the contin-
uance of their national existence. So

the raiders" and let Jameson and
his mon off with heavy fines instead
of putting them to death.
The Beers endured the national hu-
the danger that. threatened them. and
they did not escape the overthrow Of
their national existence.
They were a people possessing very
great military resources and no In.
considerable military strength. II
they had made preparation for the use
Of their military resources at all COM
mensurate with their national inn
portance and responsibility 1t Is cer-
tain that their history in the last
have been very different from what
it is. and they might even have re-
tanned their national existence.
British Strengthened Offense.
But they made no such preparation
Consequently when the tes came they
were unable to meet 1t. When Great
Britain got ready for the destruction
of the Boer republics and the annexa-
ton Of the Boer territory she went
about the business and accomplished
her purpose.
The Beers had no more desire and
were little more ready for war then
than they had been q few years pre-
vioCsly. Every reason for not making
war with had had force with them in
the earlier crisis was still q potent.
But they had neglected the one course
that might have enabled them to con-
troll the course Of their opponents. and
their own course.
Great Britain had determined to 60 to
war, and for the Beers only two courses
were open. They could make a fight for
their lives. Ill equipped and unprepared
as they were, or they could give up
without q struggle.

ably leads.
Japan Saw the Light.
The japanese in 1896 were in a situa-
ton not unlike that in which tho Beers
found themselves after the Jameson
raid. They had cause for q war which
they knew they were not able to wage
with safe prospect for success. They
knew then that sooner or later they
must clash with Russia.

Apology Swept Away War Cloud.
To the demand Of our Government for
apology and suitable reparation that
gentleman sent response that aspersed
the character Of President Harrison and
impugned his veracity.
The United States was in no condition
then to fight even Chile. but 1t looked
for time ~ II we were going to have
war anyway. much a. we disliked It.
However, the Chilean government re-
moved the truculent secretatry and re-
placed him with one who had q better
understanding Of International obliga-
tions.
The apology and the reparation were
forthcoming. together with q special
disavowa of the insult to President
Harrison. and the war cloud blew over.
