truce, even for a day, while the Ger
man armies are in France and Flan-
ders. and if our American friends are
inclined to twit us with failure to
maintain our word as to Belgium, let
them consider, what would happen If
they were called upon suddenly TO
defend the guarantee of the Monroe
doctrine against a great power like
Germany, say in South America. Why,
the United States would be far more
helpless to drive the strong invader
out of South or Central America than
England finds herself in the case OF
Belgium.
''Are Americans now in a position
to vindicate their word against vio-
lence? Let them ask themselves that
question before they condemn us out
of hand. We see that President Will
son in his message to Congress de-
clares that the country must depend
upon the volunteer system for de-
fense. His arguments make us smile,
and they also tempt us TO weep.
Life Needs Strength.
Just as President Wilson speaks
of moral insurance against war, so
the Liberals used to say that their
defense was not to be the navy, but
the precepts of international law, and
il Englishmen may presume to warn
their good friends and cousins in the
United States out of the bitter wis
dom of experience, the warning would
be this: That a nation can only live
it's own life IL it has power to pro-
tect that life.
Therefore, our good friends, the
Americans, would be wise not to play
with such pretty notions as that war
may be interrupted for a Christmas
truce, or that it may be averted by
moral assurances, but rather prepare
against II, since adequate military
preparation is the only means yet de-
vised by man to avoid the horrors of
war"

what he prophesied about Mexico during
the past twenty months and what has
actually occurred.
Nothing could be more accurate than
President Wilson's statement that from
the first we have had a clear and settled
policy with regard to military establish
ments." That policy has been the most
tary policy ever pursued by a great na-
tion Of supposedly intelligent men I'm
modern times, a policy which prevented
the United States from attaining the
front rank among the nations of the
world until the autumn Of 1898, because

at the end of the civil war, was II capable

to turn the country into a military
camp or ''to ask our young men to
spend the best years of their lives maxi

ident Wilson has discovered "a new sort
of energy in u.s. which will know how
to declare itself and make itself effec-
tive should occasion arise" he has GER
tainly performed a most marvellous mag
ical feat.
Militia Not n Trained Force.
The crux of the whole matter is con-
tanned in the statement that eve must
depend in every time Of national peril,
not on a standing army, nor yet upon a
reserve army, but upon a citizenry train
ed and accustomed to arms" In other
words. the President not only proposes
to perpetuate the vicious military policy
which We have followed since 1775, but.
IL he means what his words say, he pro-
poses to place little or no dependence
upon the regular army or a reserve. II
that be so, why not abolish the standing
army altogether, and along with It abol-

BANKS BUYING STATE BONDS.

Reserve Board Statement shows
Investment of s1O,sOO,OOO.
The reserve banks have begun to make
investments in short-term State and mu-
nicipaI securities, according to the weekly
memorandum from the Federal Reserve
Board which accompanies the statement
OF condition of the reserve system made
public yesterday. Six banks have made
investments. amounting to N0,so6. 900.
The boards announcement that the
outstanding volume of Federal reserve
notes increased only 10000 is regarded
as indication that the boards recent ac-
ton in reducing rediscount rates has not
yet had any appreciable effect in the
desired direction of displacing emergency
currency with the reserve notes.

sent to the ''Kolnische Zeitung":-
Last week I slept in real bed for the
first time after a long while. The good
old dame on whom we three were quar-
tered. had even given US perfectly fresh
bed linen. It is only in war that the
meaning Of the word to have one good
nights rest can be properly appreciated.
Very soon We three lay in the enormous
bed and slept as soundly as at home for
making trenches is hard work. Towards
a. m. was awakened by the old lady.

clear and settled policy with regard to
military establishments" that I'VE have
never had and We never shall have a
large standing army that we are ready
to defend ourselves ITO the utmost
without turning America into a military
camp and without asking our young
men to spend the best years OF their lives
making soldiers OF themselves"
President Wilson then assumes the role
OF a prophet and condescends to let us
into the secret he has discovered by an
nounCing that there is another sort OF
energy in us. It will know how to de-
clare itself and make itself effective
should occasion arise" but he studiously
refrains from enlightening US as to the
nature of this mysterious force and the
form it will take. He then goes on to
enunciate his cardinal principle, namely,
that I'VE must depend in every time of
national peril, in the future as in the
past, not upon a standing army, nor yet
upon reserve army, but upon a citizen
ry trained and accustomed to arms" This
he follows up by advocating that every
volunteer be trained in "the use of mod
ern arms, the rudiments OF drill and
maneuver. and the maintenance and san
itation Of camps" that every encourage
ment and attractiveness should be given
such training; that the National Guard of
the States should be developed and
strengthened by every means which is
not inconsistent with our obligations to
our own people and that 1T should be
our constant policy to make these pro-
visions for our national peace and
safety''-all of them admirable sugEes-
tions. He terminates the subject by de-
claring that ''the country has been mis-
informed. We have not been negligent
OF national defense
Crticises the President.
II is outrageous when a high govern
ment Official makes statements like some
of the above, especially the last one
which Is not the truth because II Is not
the whole truth" And when such an
official has been the head OF a great uni
versity, has written history Of the Amer
lean people, and is trusted because he
processes to be historian, his course in
thus deluding the nation deserves the se-
verest possible condemnation.
When President Wilson asserts that
I'VE have always found means to defend
ourselves against attack" he makes
statement unfounded in fact This pro-
fessed historian apparently has not
learned that in 1914 more than 10000
militia from Pennsylvania, Maryland.
and Virginia were unable to prevent $3.50
British from attacking and burning

Is all very well for him to declare that
