of a new economic patriotism.
Well. here We arc in the promised future
and what do we see? Instead OF progress, the
overthrow OF the whole world; instead OF up
lift. the bloods Ell OF millions; instead OF JUS
tice. the barb7rity Of crime and hatred
What would my good old Professor Pulszky
have replied If l should have told him then:
All these gray theories are dreams and non
sense. The national communities will not end
with the nineteenth century. They VIII re
main on the same foundations IN the twent-
eth century and they will withstand all at
lacks more solidly than ever before. In the
year 1914 the English will become more Eng
fish than ever before. the French more French,
the Germans more German, the Hungarans
more Hungarian.
And in this the coming year OF our world
war the primal, national sentiment will reach
the most fanatic height. The fame OF ideal,
heroic patriotism now lights every corner OF
the world this obsolete" patriotism has re
duced to ashes the artificial economic patriot
ism Of the country Of which you in America
have reason to be proud.
Your exemplary materalistic state mechan-
ism has proved an utter failure. Working
with perfection in years OF peace it turned
turtle when the whrlwind OF national dealism
raging in Europe touched it. The machine IS
out CT order; its parts will not work in unity.
Why? Because it is only a machine. art-
fetal construction without national SOUL

That feeling Tor the ancestral home which
slumbers deep in the heart OF every one has

Let US turn from this gloomy picture TO
what can be done now. Without further waste

we can accomplish much by internal reforms

The war OF pen and tongue and deed between
these enemies has burst the thin surface OF
American patriotism.
Against their Elemental and antagonstc pa
triotisms your country's Chief Executive
stands helpless. All the efforts and words OF
the unfortunate and incapable President Viii

he writes schoomss,erly essays that have dis

But all this is merely the beginning OF a

officers any practical training | don't know,
for we virtually have neither brgades nor di
visions. But, theoretically, We can do great
deal. The staff college at Leavenworth, still
under the momentum which General Morrison
gave it. accomplishes some good work. But
there is urgent need TO systematic and to
recognize this work and to provide for the
maintenance Of standards. 1t is necessary to
make OF advanced work the only channel OF
army promotion. 1t is necessary to relate the

troops is inconceivable unless they could re-
ceive at the very least six months prelimi-
NARY, training at the hands OF skilled officers.
And this is not possible under any ofcun'-
stances save only in case OF the invasion OF
California for purposes of conquest But one
naturally ranges over all the possibilities be
tween what we could do II organized correctly
and what we could actually do to-day The
latter eventuality is 700 hideous to contem-
Mate The militia would make up more than
one-half of what we had, and doubtless efforts
would be made TO employ it as field force.
But as matter OF fact, our whole militia and
our whole regular army would be quickly
swallowed up by the task OF securing our
railroads and maintaining public order; and

national republic not with one eye on the poll
ticians and the other on cold booded mer
chants, but in the flames of Notwithstanding,
in a struggle for liberty against domineering
motherlsnd, the outcome of a great national
reaction. The republic was new England in
contrast to old England.
Even to-day those few small states in the
northeastern corner OF the United States,
which you still call New England, arc Amer
cas- national foothold. There lives the puri-
tan conservative New Englishman, the real
Yankee |, who studied in Boston grammar
school, we'll remember the unadulterated New
English enthusiasm when we were taught the
history OF Washingtons guidance Of people
through their struggle for liberty.
Washington preserved the tree OF liberty in
Americas SOIL free from all feudal roots
and his legaces kept up the supremacy and
high character OF the nation well on into the
second half Of the nineteenth century. when
they were overwhelmed by millions OF freed
negro slaves and by growing immigration OF
many foreign peoples.
Then began your troubles Your country
became the land OF promise, OF unlimited pos
sibilities, the FL Dorado full OF the treasures
OF almighty dollars welcoming without any
selection the millions OF Europe's superfiuous
and undesirable elements. The illiteratc dregs
OF all nations overlooked certain sections OF
the country, and each year the native Amer
can people became more and more adulterated.
1t is said that there is still room for 2oo-
100000 more people in the United States. We
all wonder what will happen when il has
reached its full capacity. The American ma
ton no longer exists; in fact, the United States
ceased TO be a nation in the beginning OF the
seventies. The ingenious Hungarian Aurel
Kecskemethy who visited the United States
a, that time, says in his book on your country:
The future OF America is a mystery. One
does not even know whether the language OF

armies realize that their present day efficiency
proceeds from a continuous intellectual effort
dating back NOR. than century. For al
though the Prussian higher command failed
mserably in the Jena campaign, there were
theoretical conceptions already working in the
Prussan army that were the bases OF present
day Developments.
At the easy end OF the educational problem
we have 'the cadet school. The instruction at
West Poin. will do well enough, subject TO
minor reforms Even if Congress will not
increase the army and give us more cadet
schools of this type the colleges can help.
In MANY ways they can accomplish good
deal more than West Point can, though in the
matter OF intoxicating military habits they will
doubtless fall little short The universities
