The Lesson of verdun.

! More than one lesson may be LEARNED
from the awful succession of battles for
Nerun, but there one which stands out
distinctly To be read OF all the world,
/ one which marks change in the balance
of efficiency between the two groups of
Ibelligerents, and which cannot fail to
greatly affect the further course of the
war. 1t is that the German army has
lost that superiority in heavy artillery
to which it owed its early successes. No
longer have the mighty hrupp and Skoda
guns the irresistible power to blast the
way to victory. The demolition of for
tresses such as Llege and Namur has
gone beyond the reach Of repetition.
Forts like these have ceased to be the
centers OF defense, and where the eenters
are is not easily discovered. They are
dug and hidden under all kinds of cover
on mount and hillside, in valley and for
est, and are so strongly armed and so
well supplied with ammunition that they
can reply effectively TO every attack.

Germany's alone. The store which she
had accumulated was Of immense serv-

WASTE PRICES RISING.

The Passing of Tirpitz.

The resignation of Grand Admiral Won
/ Tirpitz is decisive political victory for
/ the German imperial chancellor and the
foreign secretary. 1t is likewise a new
assurance of peace between Germany and
the United States.
Tirpitz has been the leader Of the anti
American party in German politics. This
party has been aggressvely in favor OF
war with the United States rather than
restrict the use Of submarines to the linn
itations of international law.
Twice the Tirptz party brought Ger
many and the United States to the verge
of war; but the kaiser's support Of
Bethmann Holwegg and Herr Won Jagow
made it possible 10 maintain peace.
In a way, Tirpitz has been the Thee.
dore Roosevelt of the German political
situation. Through writer's like Count
Won Reventlow he kept up a steady fire
of criticism Of the government and per
and its 'cowardiee." A large part of the
German general staff was in sympathy
with his campaign, believing that war
between Germany and the United States
would benefit Germany by giving the i'm
perial government free hand in sub
marine warfare and in cutting off the
shipment of ammunition to the allies.
The propaganda on the whole has had
infinite possibilities Of mischief so far
as this country is concerned.
The resignation OF Tirpitz shows plain
ly enough where the kaiser stands on the
issue. He is with the chancellor and the
foreign secretary in preferriug friendly
relations with the United States. 1t
may be extravagant to think that the
crisis passed with the passing Of the
grand admiral but il is safe to say that
there is probably less danger now Of a
break with Germany than at any other
time since the sinking Of the Lusitana.

Good Outlook for Preparedness.

| The introduction of an army bill in
the Senate last Saturday and of another
| in the House on Monday brings the pre-
paredness issue directly before Congress
The two bills are so nearly alike that it
is felt there viii be little difficulty in
making an agreement that viii give the
country much more effective military
strength than it now possesses. The
Senate bill would provide for a regular
army of $4,000 in times of peace and
a war strength of 225,000 with a term
of enlistment of seven years. four with
the colors and three with the reserve.
The National Guard would be practically
doubled in force. each member to serve
three years with the coIors and three
with the reserve A federal volunteer
force is provided for in general way,
the number not to exceed 600 in any
congressional district and total
strength of about 100000.
II is claimed that in the federal vol
unteer force See. Garrison's desire for
continental army is fulfilled. The
plan promises an increased military
strength for the country but we have
not seen any estimate OF the increase in
cost il will necessitate. We are glad TO
see the prospect of increased military
strength but we still believe that com
pulsory training Of all Young men of
certain ages would be a better plan. Tn
der the present plant every volunteer
must give up a portion of his time from
business or schooling. ANY young man
who does this cannot be given the same
in industrial life as one who
can give unbroken service. But if every
Young man was compelled to give a Ger
tain term 10 military service there could
be no discrimination on that account.
Of course we accept what Congress viii
give but believe ultimately universal
training similar 10 the Swiss plan will
have TO be adopted in this country.-St. I

The roll, which Waite told District At.

This Plan Would Have Kept

many

Washington, April I-Further details
of the navy's needs were outlined by Sec
rotary Daniels when he resumed his tes
timony yesterday before the House navaI
committee.
He told the committee that if Congress
passed pending bills a large part of the
navy's oil reserve lands i'll California
would be taken away, and unless an ade-
quate oil supply at reasonable prices
could be assured it was questionable
whether the construction of oil burning
warships could be continued.
Taking up the building programme,
Mr.. Daniels made public for the first
time the report of the navy general
board in 1908, which was designed to
keep the United States navy in second
place.
If it had been carried out" be said,
eve would have had 20 dreadnoughts and
10 battle cruisers by 1919. 1t woulfhave
placed lbs superior to Germany at the
beginning of the present war. We kept
in second place to England up TO 1909,
when we dropped back and Germany
took second place"
He took up in detail his recommends
tions for a five year building programme,
saying the value of battle cruisers still
was disputed among navy officers, The
general opinion of the navy, however,
seemed to be in their favor-but not to
the exclusion OF 'dreadnoughts. There
fore, the secretary said. he had included
six battle cruisers in his programme.
