BY PERRY RoYpEN.

Washington, April 21.-The present
crisis makes the consideration of the |
question of war with Germany ofspri- |
mary Importance from military
point of view. There are certain points
Immediately evident. They are:
/. Once diplomats relations are
broken off no declaration of war is
necessary. Therefore, Germany at any
time she saw fit could begin the use
iof armed force against US.
| 2. Germany never in her military
history has permitted a condition OF
faffairs which was neither peace nor
lwar. In other words, should we break
diplomatic relations, the slightest ac-
Ition fayoring the entente allies will
lmean military reprisals on the part
Iof Germany. For instance, the send
ling of our naval vessels as escorts to
Tour merchant ones would lead to their
lprompt torpedoing by the first Ger
1 man submarine which could get at
them.
Maximum Damage, Teuton Theory.
