For the National Defense.

Somewhere between the declaration of Mr..
Bryan that an army OF q million men can be
raised between sunrise and sunset, and the
equally sweeping assertion by Major General
Leonard NJ Wood that the volunteer army is a
failure. will be found the medium that truly ex-
presses the need OF the United States in the mat
ter of national defense. One difficulty encoun-
tered in approaching the topic is the extreme
range between the claims Of the two groups that
are just now stirring up the country with their
clamor. One side inslsts that the United States
ie as defenseless as an oyster without q she'll
the other that we are in no danger OF attack.
and. therefore, require no special defensive
preparation.
The United States undeniably is not so we'll
prepared to enter on a great war as any of the
European nations at present involved in armed
strife, nor is Il likely we ever will be- II Is not
desirable nor expedient that we keep prepared

capable as any in the world, and our general
staff has not neglected Its most important duty.
that OF studying the methods OF meeting any
possible attack. Thus. the United States has
the nucleus at least OF national defense. AS to
the volunteer army. with all due respect to the
opinion of 30 eminent authority as General
Wood (himself a volunteer). II has not failed.

plenty, and as a supplement to the regular estab-
lishment have provided sufficient force to

worked out by the army and navy experts, and
will be presented to congress at its coming ses-
sion. which will be entitled to receive our seri-
Gus consideration. but we will always have with
us the professional fighting man and the optI-
mistic psacemaker. neither OF whom will ever
be entirely satisfied with what is done.

sounding the Alarm.

OMAHA, Aug. Ito the Editor Of
The Bee: i see the argument between
Mr.. Whltnell OF the fire department and
Mr.. Kugel Of the police department over
the proposed expenditure of about $4,000
for a new fire alarm system. The way
I see Il Mr.. Kugel is not butting into
Mr.. WhitnelPs business, but as he has
a vote on the question ! think Mr.. With
mel should state clearly the advantages
of the system and show absolutely that
II win reduce the cost of our fire in
suranco and not make 1t a personal is
sue. Mr.. whitneIl seems to try to dodge
the question by saying how Mr.. Kugels
department is run and slurring him be-
cause he wants to understand why II
would not be better to put on more
motor equipment so that all the outlying
districts will have better fire protection
as he thinks the telephone alarm system
Is very good for the present.
Now I would like TO see Mr.. Whitnell
show Mr.. Kugel where the system is all
right instead OF making a personal argu-
ment out of II. JOHN A. ROOT,

Cooling on a Littls In Europe.

Close observers think they may now detect
some little indications that the warning nations
OF Europe approaching the time when they
will be giving more heed to reason and less to
passion The bitterness OF the conflict seems to
be subsiding in some measure, and the intense
devotion TO the notion OF crushing the enemy
is Stacking a little Terms on which TO base
peace. broached by unofficial persons. are not at
all likely TO be yet seriously considered. but
that such proposals may be made Is at least TO
be taken as showing the set of the wind. This
does not necessarily mean that the end is near
at hand. but when rancor gives way to sober re-
Election, the heat OF battle must be cooling. The
temperature-reducing process seems to have set
in, but 1t will take long time to lower the
thermometer reading to point where Il may
lie said the fever has disappeared. The en-
couraging fact at present ls that the heat is not
rising, and may even be diminishing.

Alone and Yet for All.

From Washington comes the word that the
United States has declined to Join with Sweden
in Joint representations to Great Britain in the
matter OF neutral trade Several times in the
last few months 1t has been urged that all the
neutrals. the United States leading, unite in
some action Of protest against the course Of the
l'elligerents, the advocates Of this plan insisting
that IL would give much weight to the proceed
ing. This country has prudently and consist
entity declined to entangle its case with that Of
any other nation The interests OF each Of the
neutrals, far overseas trade is concerned
are largely identical; none of them can suffer
much in this connection because OF the inde-
pendent action of the United States in dealing
with either Of the offending powers. On the
other hand, 10 join with any country might sub
ject the United States to the suspicion of favor
ing one more than another. II the point con-
tended for by this country is gained. all neutral
nations will share In the outcome.

tween a marine and a bluejacket. The

IL he does serve on board ship. He is

cruisers only There are between fifty
six and seventy-two marines on all ships
OF these three classes while the num-
ber OF bluejackets range between 200
and 1000 on each vessel The marines
do not take part in the work assigned
20 the sailors. They are on board to

Preparedness with a Vengeance.
NORTH LOUP, Neb, Aug. 15.To the
Editor of The Bee: A dispatch from
Copenhagen says:
England is not so busy now making
the much-needed guns, as II is in the
turning out of machinery with which the
guns must later be manufactured. 1t
will be some time before the war fac
tories are properly equipped to begin re-
lieving the gun strfngency at the front
From the above, the American people
should see why the Germans are about
a thousand city blocks ahead of the Eng
'lish in war equipment, War equipment is
very similar to womans fashions. A new
suit in 1915 will not do for 1916. From
one to six months changes the fashions.
Suppose the milliners would make up
enough hats for ten years in advance.
what would the stock be worth? Nothing,
is the answer. Suppose congress appro-
pirate OO.oOO to make war equipment
to last ten years. what win 1t be worth
within three years? Nothing, is the an
hswer.
The United States should have couple
OF factories equipped at cost of
s1Oo, 900 for making war equipment.
Those factories should be able to turn
out fifty submarineNboats within three
months time. An Experimental depart
ment should try out every available inn
provement In war equipment. That would
cost S25O00.0O0 annually. In that depart
ment corps OF experts should be main
tanned. When ] say experts. l mean
class OF men who have shown mechanical
genius. Suppose the entire expense of the
expert be $1,000 each. ON an average, an
nually; 10000 OF them could be paid for
on an annual expenditure OF Sl5.OOo.OOO-
the cost Of battleship. Any real genius
can succeed on $500 a year; politician
cannot do that. This country can never
be efficiently protected under present
methods. Too much Wall street In every
thing and. that is what troubles Eng
land. The War and Navy departments
should also have roll of 10000 practical
machinIsts. who may be called into the
