through bed of coke laid on its floor
On being sufficiently heated the floor
becomes a conductor and In turn heats

Washington. D. CA Washington
professor has uniertaken to furnish
an answer to the question: (Which
country was best prepared when the
European war began?"
His figures are interesting at this
time when the great war has dis
placed the weather as the leading
topic OF polite conversation.
Judged by the number Of soldiers
and sailors ma ntained in times OF
peace, relative to population, little
Roumania leads all the rest. 1t had
1890 soldiers ard sailors for each
million Of population. and the United
States was last with 1.499 for each
million.
Sweden was second with 1928
and France occupied third place with
14,S74, while Germany trailed along
in seventh place with 1888. Austria
was ninth with 1859, Russia tenth
with 1850 and Great Britain eleventh
with 6.s63.
Excluding the smaller countries
France claimed first position with
Germany second.
Judged by the a'tual number Oh
soldiers and sailors n active service
Russia took first place with ,26O, ,0OC
and Germany was, second with $50,
f, 900 and France third with 5ss,OOO.
England was the only great nat'or
which had more sailors than soldiers
The cost OF the army and navy
/ per capita OF population, placed Egg
land we'll to the front as the most
militaristic OF nations, for it expend'
ed 81 for each man, woman and chilt
in the United King 'om. France spent
$3.50. Germany s4.7O, Russia $1.Sl
and the United States $3.50.
Like all other attempts to analyzt
the worlds most s.upendous conflict
the foregoing may be used to sup
port almost any point of view. Tc
! the neutral observers it would appeat
that Germany and France were best
prepared on land, because they hat
back of their standing army large

serves. Great Britain was undoubt

KAISER OR PRESIDENT?

Hating for a season It's activitic s
with bomb and torch, German propa-
ganda in the United States is now
found addressing itself by secrecy
and stealth to the mastery OF con-
gress. The cowardly war upon Am
erican life, property, industry and
commerce pauses while lobby hav-
ing the same inspiration tiptoes
through the capitol, the very citadel
of the republic.
AS high public service, The
World was instrumental last summer
thru its exposure Of DIR. Heinirck Al
bert, q confident al financial repres-
entative of Germany, in giving pub
licity to q conspiracy that reached
all the way from purchasable Amer
leans to high German officials. To-
day 1t is able to lay before the peo-
pie proof of another imperial enter
prise IN this country which, while
not reckless of law. Is even more
offensive as an assault upon the Am
erican government In the interest OF
a foreign power.
The belief that the Kaiser exer-
cises an important II not controlling
influence in our rol'tics has long
been cultivated at Potsdam, but we
believe this is the first time that
any one has assured in his name to
challenge the president OF the Unit

now see is German organiza-

A FORGOTTEN oArHa

by a vote OF 6S to IA the senate
Of the United States has declared in
substance that the capital Of the
United States is st II Wasi ington and
not Berlin; that the president Of the
United States is still Woodrow Will
son and not Wilhelm II, and that
the foreign affairs Of the United
States are still in the hands OF the
president and not in the hands Of
the Kaiser.
That Is the TRUE Interpretation OF,
yesterdays action. in spite Of Sena-
tor Cores dishonest parliamentary
trick to give the lie to his own res
olution and add furt, er to the presi-
dents endorsements. 1t ought not
to be without moral effect in Berlin,
where the belief prevails in official
German circles that congress Is five
to one against the president on the
question OF whether Gemany's pledg-
es to the United States will main
tain its rights under international
law. 1t ought to have a decisive ef-
feet upon the House OF Representa-
tives, which is not yet sure whether
! l. is pro-American or pro-German.
The American people will wonder
more and more about the origin of
this amazing insurrection and the
hnl tNr a
OF the senate ringleaders, insists that
somebody told him the president faw
ored war with Germany. and 81 fear
ed it might be true" With due res
pect to Senator Gore. we do not be-
lieve that he believed anything of
the kind.
There has not been day since
the sinking of the Lusitania when
the. president could not have plunged
the United States into war with
Germany il he had wished. He is
the man WHO has kelt the United
States out of war. There is not an
American citizen outside of a luna
I tic asylum or home for idiots who
does not know this to be true. Sen
ator Gore is neither a lunatic nor a
fool, and when he tries to excuse
himself by pretend ng that he feared
the president was seeking war, he
knows he is not telling the truth
He had no such fec rs and could have
had no such fears. If he had had
fears and had been honest in them
he would have lest no time in com
mun'cating with the preside before
he sought to take action which in it
self was an invitation to war.
We have yet to unravel the tangled
skein of motive IN which all this
miserable business is involved. Tht
one clear fact is II at 1t has done ir
revocable harm to the foreign rela
tiops OF the United States and has
strengthened the hsnd of the German
government against the president t6
such an extent tfat war may be the
inevitable result. 1t has given to
Germany new confidence that the
German propaganda in the country
is supreme. that congress is its slave
and that the president is powerlese
to hold Berlin to its pledges.
The action Of the senate yesterday
will help to undo some Of the dam
age. regandless of the crooked Gore
amendment. Decisive action on the
part Of the house will further minim'
ize the harm. But much Of the evil
can never be fecalled. A staggering
blow has been dealt to the honor,
the prestige and the influence OF the
United States in foreign affairs, and
many Of the men who are RESPONSE
Bile are men who only three months
ago took a solemn oath OF allegiance
to the republic.-N. Y. World.
