The Views of MIR. Pettigrew

works around them, which the bat
ties of Europe have demonstrated
are impregnable. We would o have
to attack them-only resist their at.
Our submarines would cut them off
from their supplies by sea, and the
ultimate result would be their utter
destruction by starvation, and with
out ever being able to leave the shore
where they landed, If they landed
in Mexico or Canada, the result would
our border line.
In all the history of the world, no
great army with its equipment has
ever been transported across the sea
and successfully invaded any toun-
try. For Il thousand years England
has been free from invasion because
of the 20 mi Ies Of water which sep
arate her from the continent Of Eu-
rope. Spain. in the height of her
power and greatness, equipped the
Armada to invade England and she
inferred the English Channel with q
vast force Of more than ten ships to
Il of the force England could bring
against her; and yet no landing was
made on the English coast but her
immense ~ships-tWice as large as

Drake-Went to the bottom, and the
Armada, after sailing around England
ard Scotland, was wrecked in a
storm On the coast of Ireland. About
the middle Of the thirteenth century,
he Tartars, under the leadership Of
Kubla Kahn, invaded and conquered
China. He then assembled his army
for the conquest of Japan and, with
100000 men, crossed the Chinese Sea,
expecting an easy conquest OF the
Japanese islands. The Japanese had
not been at war for centuries; o
we're they prepared for war, and yet
they destroyed this army of Kubla
Kahn before they were ever able to
land upon, the shores of Japan, and
kubla Kahn escaped back to China,
with a remnant of but 5000 men.
There is no nation On earth who
would ever even undertake to cross
the ocean and invade this country,
and, if they could, they could accom-
plish nothing, but leave their bones
upon our shores, a monument to their
folly.
81 therefore believe that there is
no good motive behind the organized
effort to scare the American people
into spending hundreds of millions to
prepare for war"

AUTOCRACY AND DEMOCRACY;
ON TRIAL BEFORE THE WORLI

DR.. Eliot, president emeritus of
Harvard, in a recent address before
the Civil Service Reform league. dis
cussed the relative merits of democ-
racy and autocracy and the right of
democracy to survive. Democracy,
as a form of government" he said,
is on trial before the civilized world
eff" said he, free governments can
not organize and maintain as effect
i've armies and navies as the auto
cratic governments can and fight as
we'll as the autocratic governments
do, hey will not survive the attack
of despotie governments which pos
.sess as great natural resources and
use them with more skill and better
concentration of purpose"
So, if democracy cannot win over
~4utocracy in war, democracy is "a
failure and will not suryice-is that
it? Autocracy possesses a superior
kind Of efficiency; that will be con
coded. But war is not going to de-
stroy democracy though autcratic
government triumph for the time be
ing. There is mor democracy right
now in autocratic Germany than be.
fore the war began. 1t is silent; but
it is zone the less real. 1t is only
awaiting the triumph or autocracy, OF
its defeat-it doesn't make much diff
ference w~hich-before it begins to
assert itself. Autocracy's's despotic
efficiency with its suppression of pri-
Yate right and political freedom has
planted the seeds for a great harvest
OF democracy. Autocracy decreed the
war: was has awakened democracy.
The superior efficiency Of the auto
cratic government may destroy demo-
cratic government, but It cannot de-
fend itself from the forces which it
has spurred into ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS

BRITISH MAY ACQUIRE
MANY GERMAN SHIPS

London,-It is rumored in shipping
circles that q scheme is on foot to
acquire some of the German and Aus
TRAN vessels nov lying in Portuguese
ports, and it would not be surprising
if several of these steamers were pur-
chased by q Portuguese company which
has a close working agreement with
important shipping interests In Great
Britain. The growing dearth OF tom
mage and the difficulty Of obtaining
adequate supplies of pit props for the
Welsh mines has lately become acute
and 1t is thought that II several yes-
sells could be acquired by this means.
they would be exceedingly useful Just
now to take out coal to the various
numbering depnts and factories and

niles IS in the Scandinavian peninsula
