AN rRoNlcAL SITUATION

New York Tribune.
Secretary Garrison is disposed 10
treat with POPULARITY the controversy
which has arisen between himself and
Colonel Roosevelt over the failure OF
the administration to do anything To
put the country into a state OF military
preparedness. The secretary feels that
there is good deal of comedy in the
situation. so far as he personally is
concerned. So there Is. He has al.
ways fully realized the inadeauacy OF
our present military establishment and
has done all that he could have been
expected TO do to bring about a reor.

army. lie Is right in saying: 81 have

the country real army. the more so

paciher had he been elected TO the
Presidency in 1912. There has been
weakness and vaciIlation In the pres.
ent administration. but owing to the
recent performances OF the Bull

In war through the defeat OF Theodore
Roosevelt Even now the nearness OF
his success causes a SILVER OF appre.

The main consideration Is that this
country does not want war. not so

had his way we cannot see what
would have prevented us from being
up TO our necks in Il by this time
through the enforcement OF HIS views
on the violation OF the neutrality OF
stricken Belgium. His insistence that
the United States stands condemned
for not living up to our treaty paets
by refusing to take offensive action
In preserving the guaranteed neu-
trality OF Belgium is not warranted.
Our covenant was not to violate the
neutrality OF that unfortunate coun-
try. but IN no sense did we obligate
ourselves TO 90 to war to prevent an
other power from ignoring its solemn
agreement in that matter. As II Is
we are in a far better condition TO
suecor the Belgians by keeping out OF
the controversy than we would have
been had we forcibly interferred in
their behalf when their soil was first
invaded by the armies Of Germany.
