ourselves by the thought that no European pow
er would dare send an expeditionary force across
the Atlantic to attack our eastern seaboard and
ultimately gain access to the interior. This de-
fusion has been shattered by the mighty military
developments of the last year in which almost all
precedents of warfare were upset. The unexpect-
ed has become reality in the campaigns waged
by the Teutons and the Entente powers.
The United States never will begin a war of
aggression. It's traditions are against this
course. But this does not prevent a less honest
nation from attacking US. Under modern condi-
tions the military preparedness of the United
States is joke. Our army and navy are totally
inadequate and no dependence can be placed on
the National Guard as reserve army. The
country needs a systematic plan of preparedness
that will enable the government to defend the
principles for which the country stands at any
time and under any condition.
This does not mean that militarism will re-
suit. It means that the United States will be
able to demand respect for its own rights, have
the power to back them up, and be prepared to
repel foe. Pacifists ought see no alarming sign
in this kind of preparedness.
If the United States were sure that no nation
would ever dare attack it, there would be no need
for preparedness but this assurance is lacking.

be folly for citizen to throw away his walking
stick when he knew that two rowdies standing
at the next street corner would attack him as
soon as he passed? Applying the illustration to
the United States, it is foolhardiness to expect
that other nations, some of whom have the mill
tary spirit highly developed, will not at some day
attack our country.
Because we are unprepared to strike, Great
Britain and Germany have ignored with impunity
our protests that they cease endangering Ameri-
can lives. For this reason Great Britain has
seized American ships, interfered with our trade
on the Atlantic and practically declared block
ade on American shipping. ---...

Lux has been trying to land the prize for ten

much hard labor and worry to win the distinc-

MASON TELLS WHAT
WAR MOVES MEAN

New York, Nov. 29.--The central
powers are beginning TO fear that
Roumania will Join the allies. The
Turks are concentrating In Bulgaria
near the Roumanian boundary, and
the Austro-Germans have moved
across Hungary TO threaten Rou-
mania's flank.
Germany's announcement that the
Serbian campaign has closed is prob
ably due TO the necessity for threat
enIng Roumania. Nevertheless, the
subjugation OF southern and western
Serbia is still incomplete. The main
Serbian army is still intact. and
yet Germany has abandoned the cam
paign. II Is therefore apparent that
the Teutons believe that Roumania's
entrance into the combat on the al
Hes side 10 the more pressing dan
ger.
Az a result OF the Teuton maneu-
yer the Bulgarians In southern Ser
bia may soon find themselves be-
tween two fires. with no German help
near. but the Roumanian peril must
be guarded against. Germany feels,
at all hazards.
