CAUGHT ASLEEP

EUROPEAN observers will probably be
II at loss to understand the process
OF mobilization through which this coun-
try has just passed. The events of the
first week of their wars were all de-
pendent upon speed in mobilization. and
the blame for the war is frequently laid
on the country which mobilized first and
fastest.
That is because in Europe mobilization
means what 1t means: making an army
mobile, susceptible OF immediate shift
ing 10 the point of necessity. In this
country II means calling out the frame.
work of an army and placing II in train
ing camps with such recruiting as comes
to II in the process. The army OF the
United States which was really capable
of mobilization has been for some time
in and near Mexico. The Guard needed
to be recruited 10 a peace footing before
II could entrain for concentration points
and these points are thousands of miles
away from the danger. Furthermore.
mobilization applies to transport, COM
missary and supplies
What our European observers will still
not understand IS why the Guard was
not complete, why provisions had not
been made to face an emergency which
was really inevitable. England win under
stand this before France and Germany.
because England, too. went through such
a crisis, as III prepared for it as we are.
That was two years ago, and the lesson
Of England which hardly has been
learned there, has not crossed the At
lantic It is said that experience is a
hard school, but fools learn in no other.
That Is scarcely true. Experience Is a
hard school, but fools do not learn in It.
Wise men alone are capable OF prohtins
by their experiences. So we have reason
10 hope that the antipreparedness mania,
4 least. has died out As result of our
mobilizing tactics.

DEMOCRATIC SPECIAL PLEADING

DEMOCRATIC SPECIAL PLEADING
TO the Editor Of Euonin1 Ledger:
Slr-During the presidential campaign
ono should not be surprised to read all kinds
of assertions. but when paper of your
standing creates an editorial article so one
sided as your comments on the possible In
crease in income tax. etc, and lays the
blame TO the Democratic party, II does sur
prise one. You forget the enormous reduc-
ton In imports, due TO the war, which is the
real cause in the reduction in the revenue
you mention. Even though we had the most
nourished and cherished of high tariffs,
what would 1t avail us now, when we import
virtually nothing The war has built about
this country the highest possible tariff.
Further, you censure the Democratic Ad-
ministration for not having provided large
standing army. May I ask how well the
Republican party provided while in office
for the Spanish War or, later how well It
provided for an army? You seem TO blame
the Democratic party for not having an i'm
mense navy-how we'll did the Republicans
provide while they were in office, even the
rampant Theodore?
Let us be fair In this matter, and though
l was president of next to the largest Demo-
cratic campaign club in the State in the last
presidential campaign, will readily stand
convicted OF my ways IL you can show me
just wherein the Democratic party is any
different from the Republican in allowing
the country to go to what you seem TO infer
is a bankrupted, disrupted and corrupted
condition. Il. HENDERSON,
Lansdowne, Pa, June 22.
1.-THE Democratic party is culpable first
because when II saw the war coming II did
not at once begin preparations to make pro-
visions for the revenues which were to be re-
duced by the war 1t later confessed its
own mistakes by abandoning its purpose to
put sugar on the free list, 1t is culpable in
the second place because 1t neglected for
nearly two years to do anything TO
strengthen the navy or enlarge the army
when the Republican leaders and the few
far-seeIng men who call themselves Demo-
Gratis knew that there was a possibility of
the United States being drawn into the con-
fiict and that IL we were TO escape humllia-
ton preparation should be made Presl-
dent Wilson indeed reversed himself and
last winter left Washington 10 make some
speeches calling the attention Of the coun-
try to the emergency, but his Congress was
Indifferent The Democracy is condemned
now because in the world crisis OF the last
two years it has been In power and has neg
lected its obvious duty. 1t is condemned
further because it made no preparation TO
meet the Mexican issue, which for three
years has headed straight toward war
