lTALyMND GERMANY

Italy declared war upon Austria
towards the end of May. Somewhat
later she declared war upon Turkey.
No such declaration has been made
with regard to Germany. the ally and
chief support of both Austria and
Turkey, though Italy's allies, France
and Great Britain, hold Germany to
be their principal foe. Italy hesitated
for nearly a year after the war began
before she made decision, and dur
ing these long months of delay there
was no end of discussion, both in and
out of parliament. Much of this dis
cussion was directed at Germany.
which many public men regarded as
a greater menace to the national llre
of Italy than Austria could possibly
be- It was complicated situation.
Italy, in reality disturbed by the
threat of German supremacy in Eu-
rope, became the willing medium
through which Germany obtained sup
plies up to the time she declared war
on Austria and has since refrained
from declaring herself Germany's
enemy.
Yet, Germany has not been sparing
mans call Italys treachery, nor have
many leading Italians hesitated to de-
nounce Germany. Although they are
theoretically not at war. there is no
love lost between the two nations.
While the discussion as to what part
Italy should take was at it's height
during the winter and spring, many
writers and speakers in Italy pointed
to Germany as Italy's most important
foe. At this time Prince Won Buelow
offered the Trentino and other Aus
trian territory to Italy to obtain her
assistance or her neutrality, but at
no time was there an offer of Trieste.
and it was probably on that rock that
the negotiations split. Trieste SYM
bolizes, more than any other part of

aspirations of Italy on the eastern
boundary and on the Adriatic.
But it is believed in Italy that it
was towards Trieste that the eye of
Germany was directed. Austria, de-
clared one of Italy's public men, De
Wet de Marco. president of the Italian
Radical Association. is in effect Ger
man province. Germany's desire to
keep Trieste for Austria, he declared,
develops from wholly selfish motives,
for Germany looks upon Trieste as a
German port. the gate to the East
that avoids the passage through wa
ters dominated by England. 1t is the
menace of German militarism that
de Marco most fears. and in dis
cussing this he says:-
Certainly one condition, the prln-
ciple one for assuring the future tram
guilty of Europe and the new geo.
graphical settlement and peaceful
possession of the new acquisitions, lies
in weakening the menacing superior
military organization of Germany. 1t

ECONOMIC PREPAREDNESS


OF all the many writer's who discuss
the international and economic ques-
tions of the day. there are few, if any,
whose contributions are ADLER and
sounder than those of David Jayne
Hill. The leading article in the
North American Review" for Decem-
Der is from his pen. and merits care
full consideration for it forecasts
some probable effects of the war upon
the economic prosperity of our coun-
try which may be disturbing and in
furious.
The normal course Of all interna-
tional trade has been interrupted.
The activity of the most completely
organized producing and distributing
mechanism that has ever existed
that of Germany-has been completely
arrested. In very instructive way,
DR.. Hill sketches the growth, the
magnitude and the character of this
productive and distributive German
agency. In 1911 Germanys exporta-s
ton in Europe reached a total of
610O millions of marks, while that of
Great Britain was only $500 millions
of marks. In the production of iron
Germany has advanced to a proper
ton of 20 per cent of the worlds
output, as against 1S per cent for
England.
After a brief discussion of the
causes and methods of this wonder
full advance toward industrial SUI
premacy, and some suggestions as to
it's relation to the war, DR.. Hill pro-
ceeds to say that while this indus
trial-comercial mechanism of Ger
many is for the time arrested in it's
activity, it's integrity as producing
agency is thus far unaffected by the
war. There is no immediate pros
pect of it's serious impairment, and
when peace is re- established, it will
only require to be set in motion to
become almost as effective as be-
of Germany may be crushed, but her
economic energies and efficiencies
will survive all shocks of war, and
will have to be reckoned with. What
will be the effect of Germany's in
evitable re-entrance into the sphere
of world industry and commerce?
When German ports are again opened
the raw materials of manufacture
will be poured into them. The fac
tories will be there. and the operative
and directing force will not be want
ing.s Capital will be found, and the
frugality, thrift, and indomitable en-
durance of the German people will
overcome all pressures of adversely.
The great industrial mechanism will
again begin to produce an enormous
quantity of manufactured commodities.
But what market will they have?
The German colonies are not likely
to be restored nor are new ones likely
to be acquired. England, France,
Russia and Italy threaten to prevent
German trade in those countries and
to work together industrially COM
mercially, and financially. In 1913.
52.7 per cent of Russia's total ex-
portation was from Germany. In
1912 Great Britain was Germany's
largest customer. Though it were
idle to suppose that the British,
French, Russian and Italian markets
would long be closed to German prod
ucts, yet it is more than likely that
for some time they will receive COM
paratively few of them. The markets
for German products will for good
while be sought and found in the
neutral countries. of which our coun-
try has the greatest capacity of alb

THE BATTLESHIP

Secretary Daniels is everlastingly
right when he advises congress that
the lessons of the European war, so
far as they relate to sea strategy,
confirm the theory on which our fleet
has long been maintained. that the
best single type of warship is such
a vessel as shall possess. in the maxi
mum degree, each and all of the four
prime requisites" customarily pre-
scribed in the annual naval appropri-
alton bill. That is. our capital ships
powerful armament, as any vessel of
their class. anywhere in the world,
and have the highest practicable
speed, and the greatest desirable
radius of action
That, in short. is the type COM
monty styled the dreadnought or
more recently superintendent -
''battleship" is the professional desig-
nation. All naval history distinguishes
according to the period. as the main
dependence of irresistible sea power.
And the lessons of the European war,
which the Secretary of the Navy has
now made special report on, in
response to the request Of congress,
positively demonstrate that that is so
today. 1t is SO. though not single
battleship Of the first line has yet
taken part in a sea battle; and only
Elizabeth which bombarded the Tar
danelles forts-has fired hostile
shot, anywhere.
The battleship. being the most pow
erful and heaviest of all types-so
that against it no other vessel could
stand and fight-it comes to this,
that with fuel capacity sufficient for
the desired range of action, this type
is the master of the sea. There can
be no question about it. Congress
must get that firmly fixed in it's
mind
The war may end without en-
ploying the main units of the British
fleet, or those of the Germans. But,
as Mr.. Daniels tells congress. the alb
solute control Of the seas-not only
those waters adjacent to the, coasts
of the allies and Germany, but the
wide oceans the world over. and every
belligerent harbor and inlet-is in the
hollow of the British palm, solely be-
cause they have so many more dread
noughts than Germany that the lat
ter does not even venture to dispute
the matter. Never has a triumph ap-
preaching it for completeness and
magnitude been won so easily. 1t
has not been won by the types we
have seen in action. And the grip
has not been loosened by the enemy's
efforts with those auxiliary types,
notably the submarine.
It may almost be said that we
have here an example of the maxim
that adequate preparedness is an in
surance of peace. For the British
fleet, because of battleship superiority,
has scarcely been molested by the
enemy. The German navy, second
most powerful in the world-but far
removed second-so far from daring
to challepe hides behind an iron wall
in dread Of attack.
