THE LATEST MOBILIZATION

HE GERMAN Chancellor has announced mobilization of
u all its manhood between the ages of II and CO. Dr.
Heerlch minister of the interior describes the of what
is done, saying
I'VE have no transatlantic imports We must rely upon
our own work The earth yields what need for food But
we must work and have peace This law mobiles

The project is merely extension of what the German
people doing long before the When the fighting be-
work better ordered and systematically done in
the German empire, than anywhere else.
Great Britain before she could begin to fight found
it to have industrial mobilization.

The German mobilization contemplates the organiza-

It is unreasonable to suppose that the organization

The mobilization of industry is probably significant
and fraught with consequences for the future

The Right Kind of Preparedness.

On the evening OF December 3o 1862, near
Murfrecsboro, Tenn, three colonies in command
OF Union regiments in Rosecrans army were
sitting around the camp fire with their subaltern
othcers discussing the chances of survival IN
battle They decided that these chances were at
least nine out Of ten and that they would come
through the approaching conflict in safety. The
battle OF Murfreesboro began the next day. and
all three of these colonies were killed The
officers had not miscalculated the chances of
death under ordinary military circumstances, for
they were killed because they commanded new
regiments composed of raw troops with little
or no training who broke and at the first
hre. The three colonies were West Point grad
yates who would not rim. and they lost their
lives IN desperate but vain attempts to rally
their men. The very same regiments later be-
came well drilled, and were among the best
hghtlng men in the Union army. 1t was a COM

OF troops in battle is not only the result OF
poratc courage as well--and this so-called cor

in the civil war. Had the United States possessed

have been over in six months, year at most.

Two Theories in Economics.

Senator Smoot indicts the garbage can as
responsible for the extravaganza and waste OF
the American people, saying that more wealth
goes into the garbage can than to feed the
people. This indictment mas the merit of novelty,
and it may have much OF TRUTH because Senator
SmOot is a careful investigator and has had
much experience in business He also supports
his indictment with the testimony of political
economist in one of the great universities to
into the hands OF the women to pay household
bills, and that 90 out Of every s. is wasted
because the women do not know how to buy,
what to buy and how to preserve and prepare
food for the table
1t would be interesting to have Senator
joint debate as to the great waste of wealth
and the cause Of it. MI Bryan is still telling
Western audiences that the men spend their
earnings in the grog shcr and leave their wives
and children to starvc That is very OIL
story that has been so long used that it has
lost its effect, especially since the great in
crease in the average wealth OF the people in
this country
The total wealth OF the American peo. :,
doubles every ten years, and, if either Senator
Smoot Mr.. Bryan is correct, we would all
soon be multi-millionaircs when we cut out Is.
grog shop the garbage can
There is one part OF Senator Smoot's testi-
mony that IS more encouraging than that of
Mr.. Bryan; that American wage-earners hand
over their pay envelopes to their wives to pay
household expenses. 1t may not be 90 per cent
of all the earnings that is handed over to tho
women, but it is the manifest spirit of the
American men to permit the women to spend
a good share of the family purse; for in
stance, what is advertised for men? More than
90 per cent of the advertising is for the wom-
ans eye. So we have no doubt which way
the verdict would go from jury of either men
or women listening to joint debate between
Senator Smoot and Mr.. Bryan, even on the
relative responsibility OF the grog shop and the
garbage can for extravaganza and waste.

There were men in the Republican
ranks in New York who had played the
chief parts of protest against the ten
denotes of their party. They meant TO
reform it, If they could, and to save IT,
but to oppose it IL they could not bring
it to a new way of action, new ana
better choice Of leaders. They sent strong
spokesmen to the Republican nominating
convention of 1884. and when that con-
vention would not heed them they urged
the Democrats to nominate Mr.. Cleveland
and give independent voters chance 70
, cast their ballots for man Of their own
temper and principles in affairs.
The Democratic convention took their
advice, and for the first time in twenty
eight years a Democrat was chosen
President.
The candidate whom the Republicans
had preferred was as brilliant leader
as any party had had for a generation;
but the country did not want brilliant
leadership; II wished for mere solidity
of character and for a new and better
point of view in the man 1t should put
into its highest Office and it could not
satisfy itself with Mr.. Blaine.
Mr.. James G. Blaine was a man turned

through a whole generation as a man
who by sheer force of natural gifts, elo-
quence, auda city. charm, had made his
way to the front in the national coun-
sells: the other had come but yesterday
into view. not as a leader in counsel. but
as a man of right action in practical
public business
But some deeply unpleasant impress
sions had got abroad concerning Mr..
Blaine and had worked very powerfully
upon those who were beyond the reach OF
his pereoEal charm: and when the Re
publicans nominated him for the Presl-
dency the distrust those impressions had
bred cost him the election. with such
a man as Mr.. Cleveland for opponent.
He had played a great part in legisla-
ton. Three successive times before they
lost control of the House of Representa-
tives OSG9-IS75) the Republicans had made
him Speaker, and ne had used the power
OF that great office TO make himself
master OF party action in the lower
house. after the manner Of the late
Speakers. but with a personal hold upon
the members of the House such as no
man had enjoyed since Henry Clay.
There were rumors that he had used
his power also TO obtain favors from
certain railway and mining corporations
and enrich himself. Nothing was proved.
When the charges made against him
were looked into with careful and i'm
partial scrutiny they turned out to have
very disputable foundation. He had en-
gagged in transactions which no doubt
left his hands clean. but hardly. II
seemed. his conscience. There had been
too little of the high pu0Ctilio OF a nice
sense of honor in many Of the things he
had done.
Republicans who had grown critical and
uneasy in such matters were convinced
that. whatever might be said in defense
or justification OF Mr.. Blaine, he was, at

The highest practicable speed" ap-
( pears to be the spirit of the building
program as reported to the House
! by the Committee on Naval Affairs
! This specification is included in the
provisions for battle cruisers, scout
cruisers and destroyers. The COM
mIttee SENS TO have been impressed
with the importance of speed for
warships and this is generally re-
garded as distinctive feature of the
policy which is provided for in the
increase of the navy in this years
! program.
/ When the Secretary of the Navy
announced that he would include two
battle cruisers in the recommends
tions, he declared that they should
have a speed of thirty-hve knots per
! hour. Nerv wisely the committee was
! not so specific but the department is
preparing plans for battle cruisers
| and scout cruisers which will call for
! approximately thirty-fve knots per
hour The battle cruisers, according
I to the latest information, will be
a bout $50 feet long. At first it was
thought that thirty-fve knots per
hour could not be obtained in a ship
of less than 600 feet. Recent prog
ress which has been made by the Blu
reau of Steam Engineering will make
| il possible to reduce the length of the
! ship to about $50 feet and at the
same time provide for a speed of
thirty-five knots.
/ The plans of the battle cruisers are far
from being completed Not until a few
weeks ago were the naval authorities ad-
vised that the committee would provide
| for this type of ship in its building pro-
gram The department was proceeding
on the assumption that after all the dis
cussion Congress would finally decide TO
: continue the batleship program. As the
consequence the department went ahead
with its plans for hattleships and COM
pleted them. Now there is no assurance
that there will be any battleships in the
program, so the authorities are devoting
! their time to plans for battle cruisers.
/ OF course. all of the battle cruisers will
he oil burners. If the 14-inch-gun policy
is continued the battle cruisers will be
armed with ten of them. In the event
J that there is a change to 16-inch guns it
will be necessary to revise even the ten
tative specifications for battle cruisers.
The thickness of the armor for battle
cruisers is an unsolved problem. The
arnor of the British battle cruisers ranges
from seven inches to nine inches. The
Lion class has 9-inch armor belt, and
there is a proposition to follow this gen.
eraI plan in the construction of the new
battle cruisers. In other quarters it is
urged that a lighter armor should be
used. and battle cruisers should depend
entirely upon their speed.
The scout cruisers will be large de-
stroyers. They will probably be armed
with 6-inch guns as compared with 4-inch
| guns, the largest that are on destroyers.
| The general lines of the scout cruiser
will be those of the destroyer.
