the country, meaning Of course, that
he wants the support, provided the
people favor the policy which. he has
3 outlined. He could not, of course,
ask them to support policy which
they did not endorse, especially if
they considered the policy dangerous
to the country.
:. From my view of the subject, the
plan which he proposes is not only q
departure from our traditions, but q
reversal of our national policy. 1t is
not only a menace to our peace and
safety, but challenge to the spirit
of Christianity, which teaches us to
influence others by example rather
than by exciting fear.
''The president says that we should
be prepared not for aggression, but
for defence That is the ground
upon which all preparation for war is
made. What nation has ever pre-
pared for war 'on the theory that it
was preparing for aggression? 1t is
only fair that the European rulers
who are involved in the present war
thought that they were contributing
toward the maintenance of peace
when they were making elaborate
preparations for defence.
ut is false philosophy, and be-
ing false, it inevitably leads into diff
fculties. 1t is the spirit that makes
the individual carry revoIver-and

defence-leads him not only to use
it on slight provocation, but to use

ANY or all of these may have been
the motive power that forced the
Teotons into the Serbian undertak'
ing. But the Kaiser has not more
than FIVE per cent of his field forces
in this new venture, and it is not ap'
parent certainly how any process oc
reasoning can deduce the conclusion
that in a field far removed from the
centre of force of his principal enc
mics, he can accomplish with TINS
small fraction of his troops which the
other ninety-fve per cent. have failed
to accomplish in the French and Rus
sian theatres.
The claim is ofen made, or the
fear expressed depending on the
source. that the opening Of the Bel
grade-Constantinople road will en-
able Germany to draw from the
Turks sufficient men to make good
her losses without further depicting
her rapidly declining reserves.
Optimists, or pessimists, again de-
pending on the foint of views, go
even further and expect Germany to
draw over this newly opened route
great numbers of Ottoman troops
who will not only replace casualties
but will strongly reinforce the exist
ing numbers. In this connection IT
mibht be interesting to run over
briefly just what the Turks are do
ing.
The Turks at present are con-
ductirg four different campaigns
separated from each other by over ,
a thousand miles. over the greater
part CT which there are practically
no communications. Constantine
Me is, of course, the base of supply
of all Of the four.

fifty thousand Turks engaged-1ust

this week. All that the car owner
vas compelled to do before the air
pump could be operated was to jack
up and block the two front wheels,
then raise a back wheel off the
ground. prop the machine against
the tire. start the engine, open the
throttle which whirls the raised back
wheel and the pump, which consists
OF a simple hydraulic air pump,
slowly creates an air pressure. Many
motorists would as soon break their
back on the old fashioned pump as
hoist their car clear off the ground.
