Experts Not Alarmists.

Our military experts-not the alarm
lists, but the careful students Of the War
College division of the general staf-in
a report published under the sanction OF
the Secretary of War show that under
modern conditions a hostile military force
of nearly 100000 men could be landed on
the Atlantic coast within fifteen days
from the date of embarkation. and upward
of 100000 more men within thirty days
thereafter, and they say:
Without superiority on the sea and
an adequate land force there is nothing
to prevent any hostile power or coalition
of powers from landing on our shores such
part of its trained and disciplined troops
as its available transports can carry.
rs it reasonable. in the light of recent
history, in view of the countless complica-
tons which have already compelled our
government to make strong representa-
tons and claims to the present belligerent
powers for the protection of neutral
rights and the assertion of International
to assume that we may for
ever escape the hazards of conflict with
other nations? The condition of affairs
in Mexico is even now the subject of
grave concern, and while all thoughtful
men earnestly hope We may avoid the
necessity of intervening with armed force
in that unhappy country, yet every candid
mind must admit the grave possibility
that our duty to humanity and civiliza-
ton may require it. and common prudence
dictates that we should now prepare for
that contingency
