England Has Paid
Penalty For Mapping.

The present war. however, went be-
yond, possibilities of such a system IN
its first moments, and England has
been struggling with very much the
kind of problem that will face this
country whenever it gets into any war:
She has been calling for volunteers and
gathering them together in great camps
for training and instruction, laboring
with might and main to teach them
enough of the business of soldering so
that they can be sent safely to the field
in time to be of real service in the
campaign of the coming summer.
Now. no matter what the nation win
which the United States should be so
unfortunate as to go to war. our neces-
stiles would be almost exactly like those
of the British in their present
struggle. Even Mexico. torn and dis
cordant as she Is. would require at our
hands a considerably greater force than
we are able to muster. counting both
our regulars and all the $4,000 or the
National Guard.
That, too. is upon the assumption that
the full force of the guards would vol
unteer in the national service and that
the total number would represent thor
oughly trained and capable soldiers:
Yet the experience with the National
Guards in the war with Spain showed
that. in the first place. only minor
fraction of them came into the national
service, and In the next place, that OF
those who did only a minor fraction
were trained and capable soldiers.
This brings the matter down to the
heart OF it. What is it that has en-

Japan Nearing
U. S. Navy Mark.

For many years we have excelled the
japanese in sea power. Unless there is
a vast and prompt Improvement in our
building program that superiority will
pass to Japan before very many years.
And that Is a fact worthy of the most
serious consideration for the people Of
the United States are capable Of giving
to any subject.
These are the -cold-blooded facts, set
down without favor or extenuation.
On land we are ridiculously outclassed
by Japan and practically every nation
in Europe. On the sea we maintain
distinct inferiority to England and
an uncertain and haphazard equality
with Germany. France, and Japan.
The first line of our national defense
Is on the sea. If war with any OF these
powers should come to the United
States and we should lose command of
the sea the remainder of the struggle
could have for us only defeat and hui
initiation Of the most profound degree.

All Military
Resources Utilized.

All this Is simply a more detailed way
Of saying that in these foreign coun-
tries their military resources are utilized
and turned into military power. The
Niagara river furnished no electric
power until somebody dug tunnel and
dropped the water onto turbines. No
doubt much more electricity could be
developed out of the Niagara river than
Is produced now.
Just SO with our military resources.
We have made a small start in turn
Ing our raw materials into power. II
we made up our minds to get right
down to business on this line, as we
do in the development of electric
power. there Is no doubt that we can
improve and increase our military
power enormously Rut that is a very
different thing from saying that be-
cause we have the raw materials now
We also have the power.
The power actually developed under
our eyes by all the nations involved
in the present war In Europe is so
tremendous that it makes ell the
more difficult any attempt to esti-
nate II and to compare 1t with what

Just A Glimpse
of Conditions,

The figures for England given, in this
table do not show the real strength OF
the British army. There are, In addi-'
ton to those shown. fourteen divisions.
forty-two infantry brigades. fourteen
field artillery brigades, and fourteen
mounted brigades of territorial troops
In the British Isles.
The figures In this table merely give q
glimpse OF what the nations OF Europe
and Japan maintain as their regular ar
mics on a peace footing. What they
can and do raise in time of war the
struggle now going on has shown.
They seem to be reaching for soldiers,
as some one said the South did in the
civil war, from the cradle to the
igrave!' They go on piling up armies by
hundreds and hundreds OF thousands or
men, The 100000 trained men Ger
many had ready for field service have
already been augumented to 100000. II
we can trust such Information as Is
permitted to trickle through the hands
of the Jealous censors. -
l. Great Britain's regulars were all In
the field within few weeks of the OUT
break of hostilities. and for six months
the English have been working on q
plan that aims to3put new army OF
additional million later in the summer.
France Is to bring a million new men
forward. and from Russia the number

land alone maintaips q military sys-
tenn that offers any reasonable basis for
comparison with ours. In all the others
military service is compulsory. and In
theory at least every able bodied young
man is liable to render certain service
with the coiors. But in Great Britain.
as in the United States, military serv-
ice Is voluntary. -
England goes far beyond what has
ever been attempted In this country. She
enlists her volunteers for term Of
twelve years, a considerable part or
which they spend In the reserve. Thus
she has a certain number of reserves
who may be called Up to the colors on
the outbreak Of war and who are used
to fill up the skeleton organizations or
peace to fighting strength.

England with practically all the men
she has needed In what wars she has

fer OF special inducements for volun-
teers to get the men required for the
war with the Beers fifteen years ago;

Germans Ahead
Of Us In Speed.

The German list is well sprinkled with
vessels rated at twenty-seven and twen-
ty-eight knots an hour and carrying
guns throwing three times the weight
of metal at broadside that the Amer
icanships can throw. Yet these are the
things that count.
The, Germans destroyed the British
off the Chilean coast and themselves
escaped unscathed because they had
the larger guns and could fight beyond
the range or the guns OF their enemies.
The British destroyed the same Ger
mans off the Falkland Islands when
they had been re-enforced with ships
of higher speed and greater gun power
than the Germans.
Every naval engagement of the war
tells the same story. The allied fleets
are pounding their way through the
long dreaded Dardanelles. lying out OF
range, or almost SO, and hammering the
forts to fragments with their great
guns.
Twenty-four knots an hour. the best
speed in the American navy. Is slow and
outworn in the British fleet. The Eng
lish list bristles with names of vessels
credited with speeds that range all
the way up to thirty-five knots an
hour. and the vessels of that speed
carry eight 13.5-inch guns.
This is so per cent greater speed than
the best of the American vessels. and
twice the number of guns, each Of
which is two inches larger in caliber
than the American guns.
On paper the American navy compares
fairly well with those Of all the ma
tons considered in this article except
of course. that of Great Britain, and
except-and the exceptio. is vital-in
the matters of speed and gunpower of
the newer vessels. France has not yet
developed high speed or great gun pow
err She has a number OF vessels that
outclass our best in speed. but only
by knot or two, and ours all match
UP well with hers in gun power. But
in commission which 1t will take us
three years to match in speed and gun
power. and both are building new ships
of this type, while we have only within
the last few days authorized the first
