swered. After the present war is
over Europe will be bankrupt in men
and funds. 1 have never worried about
Japan. Indeed. 1 am not worrying
about any country. not even about
Germany. though If Germany should
conquer Europe the emperor and his
military associates might undertake
some colonization schemes in South
States, the originator of the Monroe
doctrine, would have to fight.
'The fighting, however. would be on
the Atlantic ocean. It is very long
voyage from Germany to South Amer
lea. and our navy, If it Is made as large
and modern as it ought to be. would
end the voyage considerably short of
it's destination.
while we do not need a large stand
ing army. as 1 have said, we should
train our young men in military mat
ters; instruct them that they may be
officers and ready for the field if, by
chance. trouble occurs. An army large
enough for any emergency could be
raised inside of six months, but it
would have to be taught how to fight.
dig trenches and take care of itself.
As I see the situation in the United
States. the real need is not for a large
standing army, but for men competent
to create an army out of the abundant
material always at hand"
What will be the state of this coun-
try after the restoration of peace in
Europe?"
I'VE are to prosper as no people ever
have prospered before. Europe impov-
erished. a large part of its vigor and
manhood gone, will come to us for
wheat, cotton and other products.
Prices will advance.
The United States is filled with gold.
Some of the gold is idle and some OF 1t
is in use. All of it will become active
at the end of the war. Our food will
feed the broken nations of Europe, our
cotton will clothe them and our iron,
steel and machinery will build them
anew industrially. In every direction
business records in this country will
be broken"
you do not fear. then. that the
American market will be overloaded
with cheap goods produced by low
priced labor?''
Labor will be dear in Europe" Sena-
tor Overman answered. The law Of
supply and demand works there as well
as here. with labor well as with
corn. leather. lumber and wool. If Eu-
rope loses millions of its farm laborers
and mechanics, the farm laborers and
mechanics who remain will practically
nx their own wages and you may be
sure that wages will be marked up and

hand. could be used as the foundation
on which to build privately owned

THE government. I think, could ac-
war as auxiliaries to the navy and in
peace as regulators Of ocean freight
rates. Auxiliaries are needed in time
of war. The nation that doesn't have
them must .uy where 1t can. and often
at enormous prices. Such was our own
experience in 1898, when we went to
war with Spain over Cuba.

would use government ships. then. as

Iators of ocean rates at all times.
THE period of their ownership by
the government, however. should be
limited I fail to see anything social

ion People on the eastern and west
ern shores Of the country want large
army and navy. They seem to fear that
an enemy's ships will begin shelling
them some morning. They are sup
ported In their demand by the manu-
facturers Of war vessels, cannon, armor
plate, rifles and ammunition. But the
millions who live inland are opposed to
an extravagant outlay for what Is
shrewdly called the public defense.
They will be heard from. II we are to

knows, will come out Of the pockets of

army OF 260,0oo men,
Would you be afraid Of it?''
.Our fathers were afraid OF militar-
ism. Democrats. traditionally, are
against a huge standing army not only
because of its cost in money but for
the reason that 1t is danger to the
country. A great standing army and
an ambitious and unprincipled Presi-
dent would make an unsafe combina-
tion for the rest OF the Inhabitants.
"I am also opposed to an army of
250,000 men on other grounds than
those which I have mentioned. Such
an army is unnecessary. Money spent
for It's support would be wasted. But
