STRENGTH AND WEAKNESS
MAI. Gen. Francis '. Greene in the
Outlook


Outlook.
We have more accumulated wealth
than any other two nations; we have
a greater mileage of railways than all
Europe; of motor ears and trucks we
possess probably twice as many as all
the nations of Europe combined; of
iron and steel, we produce as much
as the total of any other three nations,
and of copper more than all the rest
of the world; of telephones in use we
have three times as many as the ag-
gregate of all the nations now at war,
and of telegraph lines as many miles
as any other two nations. Here are
elements of military strength which,
properly utilized in connection with
sufflciency of trained soldiers, will pro-
tect us from defeat--posslbly make us
immune from attack. But our trained
soldiers are barely one per 1000 OF
population, while those of possible
enemies are sixty to 1000, and there Is
no correlation between our mines, our
factories, our means of transportation
and communication on the one hand
and our military establishment and
plans of defense on the other That
we are quick and resourceful I'm an
emergency Is universally conceded. but
to rely upon this IN place of military
t9alning and proper coordination Of
our economic resources is to invite
certain disaster.

of the ideas. but a strong Spanish in
huence is also noticeable. The wide,
tiaring skirts of last season, inspired
by the Russian ballet, have acquired
a contour which suggests the paint
ings of Velasquez; and at the same
time the full skirts with pannier
draperies and ruffles over the hips,
often distended with stiff cording or
hoops, are reminiscent of the court of
Louis XIV. The bodices are plain and
skinny, with sleeves that are betrim-
med and full. The one-piece dress
OF garbardine or fine serge, with fit
ted corsage and tight basque, is as
popular for street wear as the suit
On the Riviera it is being worn al
most to the exclusion of the suit.
Hats of all shapes and sizes are be-
ing shown. There are numerous tur-
bans, sailors and Leghorns, but the
high-crowned hat is not seen quite as
often. Many of the sailors have rolled
crowns after the Louis XIV period
and these are faced with satin. Variety
is extended also to the trimming.
Ribbon, grain and flowers are seen in
abundance, and numerous littl designs
in ostrich trimming. 1t has always
been a matter of great disappointment
to the Partisan milliner that Ameri-
cans Will not wear aigrettes or birds
of paradise. This season they have
compromised by the use of the ostrich
and other plain birds.
A new novelty is the use of porce-
lain flowers. In this connection it may
be said that the making of artificial
flowers in the United States has reach
ed high art which is not eXcelled in
Europe. However. owing to the pres
ent scarcity of dyes, it has received a
setback.
The scarcity of dyes has also be-
come an acute problem in the manu-
facture of American hosiery, but in
this instance it is only one of many
factors of difficulty. Dyes have in
creased 500 per cent in price, but
silk thread, fiber silk and cottons
have also increased from so to a hun
dred per cent, and even the prices of
boxes is steadily rising. 1t looks as
If the American woman this year
would wear black and white hosiery
exclusively. Plaids stripes and checks
in black and white are being shown,
and occasionally in colors, although
some of the mills are now refusing
orders in dark colors on account of
their inability to get dyes of reliable
character
Owing to the war, there has been a
tremendous increase in the price of
parasols and umbrellas. Steel frames
that used to sell for a dollar now sell
at S2.02, and the scarcity of dyes,
again has raised the price of cover
ings from forty to fifty per cent. If
1t were not for the scarcity of mate
rials, it would be a splendid oppor-
tunity for American manufacturers
of par soils and umbrellas, for Europe
is turning to them for their supplies.
The prices offered often exceed what
the retailers are willing to pay. India
whose parasols were formerly sup
piled by Germany, has sent in q large
order. Although in India special
sized parasols are generally required,
their buyers are willing at present
to take anything they can get.

RICH ENOUGH TO PAY?

tlS ufes compiled by Frederic T..
duldekoper in his "The Military I'm
preparedness of the United States" are
not altogether flattering to the vanity
OF those Americans who are fond of
asserting that this country can "lick"
any Toe who should attack it without
halt trying. Mr.. Huidekoper is So
unpatriotic as to show that down to
1898 the United States never had en-
gased in a war in which it did not
nave to employ at least two men to
every one employed by the enemy.
Moreover the United States, in all it's
history, never has engaged single
handed at home or abroad the land
lorces or a first class military power.
Inc 'hcking' we have done has
peen done at tremendous and unneces-
sary cost of men and money, ali he
cause of that childish and foolish be-
het that strength goes with bigness
ana that our wealth and resources
make 1t unnecessary for us to get
ready.
In the War of the Revolution, MIR.
liuidekoper shows Great Britain en-
pIoyed against the confederation 15O,-
o00 men, TO which we opposed 231,-
600 regulars and 10000 militia and
volunteers.
In 1912 Britain never had more
than $1,000 men in the field against
us, While our successive drafts of
bounty patriots" militia and volun-
teers alone totaled 47J,0 men, and
IN addition we employed $4,000 regu-
lars.
Then we had a little brush with the
creek Indians, who mustered about
TWO thousand lighting men, and
against them we seEt forty -four thou
sand militia and volunteers and six
hundred regulars.
In the Seminole and Black Hawk
wars the tribes had about one thou
sand warriors each. In the former
we employed six thousand militia and
volunteers and about one thousand
regulars, and in the latter five thou
sand volunteers and thirteen hundred
regulars.
Then came the Florida was which
necessitated the employment of twelve
thousand five hundred regulars and
forty-eight thousand militia to lick
an enemy whose forces are estimated
to have been perhaps not more than
twelve hundred and certainly not
more than two thousand.
In the Mexican war we had thirty
one thousand regular troops and re-
enforced them with seventy-four thou
sand militia and volunteers. The
MeXicans never had more than forty
six thousand in the field at any time.
True, these were successful wars.
That is, we muddled through. But the
popular idea that they were "trium-
phant' wars is u little off from the
blushing truth. We did a good deal
of sprinting and considerable retreat
ing in 1912. In the Mexican war,
with one hundred thousand men un-
der arms, General Scott fought his
way into the enemy's capital with six
thousand. Short term enlistments,
lack of organization in forwarding re-
endorsements and a long category of
administrative blunders at home, due
to i'll preparation and ignorance, tell
the story of that amazing condition.
America is rich, but is it rich enough
to continue to pay the price of unpre-
paredness?
