When Germany Passed the U. S.

I 1t was during the Roosevelt admin
istration that Germany obtained her
lead in sea power over the United
States-sea power rs measured In
which are the standard
| 1unit OF modern fleet.
At the end of 1908 Germany had
laid down eight to the United States
four and this ratio has been main
taned ever since. The last year of
Mr. Roosevelt's term, Germany
passed the United States in the
amount of tonnage built and building
and we have never recovered the place
We lost.
II Mr.. Roosevelt wishes to fix the
direct responsibility for the relative
decline In American sea power, he
| can blame himself and the Repubii-
can party. More money has been
spent on the navy since Mr.. Wilson
lbecame president than IN any corre-
spending period Of the national his
tory.
For ourselves, we are not disposed
to blame Mr.. Roosevelt or anybody
else. We should consider an attack
on him just as silly and malicious rs
his attacks on Wilson and the Demo-
cratic party.
The truth of the matter is that the
country was well content to lag be-
hind and not compete with Great
Britain and Germany in their struggle
for naval supremacy. The American
people did not believe that this was
possible. and they refused to prepare
against the impossible. Even now,
when half the world Is flame and
we ourselves have been singed, apow-
erful element in and out OF congress
Is stubbornly opposed to increased
measures of national defense. The
same incorrigible idealist that be-
lieves this war could not happen also
believes we cannot become involved
in serious foreign complications.
The way to overcome this opposi-
tion is to stop playing partisan poll
tics with preparedness and deal with
the conditions of affairs for which no.
body can truly be held responsible but
which demands immediate remedy.
People like Mr.. Roosevelt are much
more concerned about abusing Presi-
dent Wilson than about obtaining a
reasonable measure Of national de-
fense, and this spirit Is more danger
Gus to preparedness than is the OPP
position of confirmed pacifists like
Mr.. Bryan.-New York World.

A Lesson From England.

when Mr.. DlllOn, the member from
East Mayo, bitterly attacked the
British war office and denounced
scathingly what he termed the in
competency of the generals In the
Held, he was answered by Sir Hamar
Greenwood, a Canadian, who some
years ago went to reside in England
and was elected to the House Of Com
mons. His answer carries lesson
for the United States.
II do not know" said he, 'of sin
gle mistake that has been attributed
to the war office that has not been
due to the neglect, the indifference
and the antagOnism Of the House Of
Commons. The honorable member
spoke Of the lack Of rifles. There arc
documents piled up in the war ofiics
urging successive governments, Lib
eral Is we'll rs Tory, to lay up largs
storesof rifies, artillery, shells and
Maxims, but the House of Commons
would not vote shilling more than
the fixed amount which each success
sive minister of war was compelled
to submit to the house under pressure
from his own colleagues In the cabi-
net. Do not blame the war
office. The army was never
rs large as the military authorities
eaid it was necessary that it should
be. We never had the rifles or artil-
lery or anything else connected with
the army which the military advis-
ors of the government thought it
necessary to have"
II the United States should be
forced into war, we would have men
like Dillon rising in congress to make
similar charges against our military
and naval leaders. And Sir Hamar
Greenwood's answer, word for word,
could be applied to them.
At this very hour we are displaying
the same unintelligent prejudice
against the advice of military an
thorities." Laymen censor the re-
ports Of experts. Men who know
nothing of the science of war on land
or sea presume to cay what is or what
is not essential to preparedness. The
neglect, indifference and antagon-
ism" Of congress have not wholly dis
appeared. That body is somewhat
stirred, but not enough to realize that
an inadequate preparedness is worse
than none at all.
England saw her heroic soldiers
die by thousands for lack of machine
guns; she saw her enemies defeating
her because, although she had the
men to check them, she had not the
rifles TO place In their hands. But it
was not her soldiers, her generals or
her war Office that were to blame.
The responsibility lies with her polit-
ical leaders in times of peace.
If similar tragedy befalls this coun-
try-and it will il war comes under
the conditions now existing or under
the inadequate program Of prepared
ness fostered by our political leaders
let us be fair to the men whose ad-
vice we have refused to heed. They
then will have nothing to do but
silently to make the best of what
materials we have provided for them,
and il they fail to protect us from the
peril the fault must lie with us

3O-Year Service

The Mitchell, we believe, holds the
record for service. Six Mitchell cars that
we know of have averaged 1872 miles
each. That means over 80 years of ordi-
nary service. And all are running daily.
The Mitchell is distinguished as being
the choice of the ablest engineers. Wehave
long list to send-on request-of great
engineers who have chosen the Mitchell.
The Mitchell is long, roomy, impress
sive. Its wheelbase is l27 inches. It has
a power tire pump, reversible headlights,
ball-bearing steering gear, gasoline
primer on instrument board, and many
other features which make this car favor
tie with men.
