There is little need anywhere in
this district for Strengthening roads
or altering routes, because the roads Of
northern France mostly run straight
as an arrows flight. Most Of the
great highways were laid out in Ma
poleon's time by military surveyors
and their strategic value and import
ance has always been kept primarily
in mind by the French government.

BLrNDER or FIRST MAGNITUDE.

Irrespective Of personal views of
Theodore Roosevelt. and regardless of
political affiliations. an o~verwhelm-
ing majority OF Americans will re
gard the governments ~declination of
his offer OF his military services and
of those of volunteers under him with
profound regret. II the government
refuses to accept these volunteers It
VIII be a blunder OF the first magni-
tude. according to the Spokesman-Re-
view OF Spokane.
There is no man in the United States
1t says. who can do SO much to arouse
the masses TO enthusiasm as Mr.. Roo
sevelt. Already nearly 1000 Amer
leans have reported themselves to him
as being DESTROYS and ready to fol-
low his leadership in the field of bat
tie in Europe. These men az a whole
are The finest body Of Americans tha5
could be desired and chosen. Like
the Australians and Canadians, both
of them soldierly from pioneer con
d%itious, they are the finest of fight
ing men. In morale and efficiency,
when once whipped into military
shape. they would be superior to
European soldiers. They will be an
Invaluable asset to France. which is
eager to see the stars and stripes
floating beside the tricolor and act
ually needs an American force.
II IS understood that our military
experts hold that the Roosevelt plan
is impractible. That may be, but even
so il would seem as If moral and 20
litical considerations should be given
weight. Having Mr.. Roosevelt and his
men fighting side by side with En-
glishmen and Frenchmen would give
England and France visible evidence
and physical proof that America is
in the war ina earnest and means to
put the sword as we'll as the purse
and the pillow at the service Of the
opponents OF Germany.

FACTS AMERICANS MUST FACE

Professor Webster of Clark Uni
Versity at Worcester. Mass. is a mem
beer of the naval reserve board. This
membership has acquainted him with
many Developments at Washington.
and he tells of Thorn i'm the TELEGRAM
of his home city.
The professor and the advisory
commission of the council for national
defense all feel that the American
people have not even begun TO real
izc the tremendousness of the task
which our nation has assumed. He
rOundly says: without a crack in
the German machine. on which we
should not reckon. this business is
destined to so forward for three years
before the Prussian idea of conquer
ing the world Is shattered" The
sooner Americans realize hat we
must key our resolves to the pitch
of enduring a long and wearing war
the better il will be for the American
commonwealth.
Frank II. Simonds declares in the
Pittshurg Gazette Times of May 9Th
that no German collapse is near; that
England expects to have to fight
uiONAh 1910 dlu lhdl ANltIiNA, IL
Russia should militarily fail France
and England. must prepare for the
possibility OF putting 1000, 600 soldiers
into the fighting front next year.
Those Americans who know most
about the war agree that men who
imagine hat il viii have ended be
fore we can enter actively err gross
U.s. Our assistance is Indispensable
to Great Britain and France If they
are TO win. Too many Professor
Webster adds, think hat because We
are In the war Il will stop without
our doing anything practical. They
think 1t too horrible for reality that
this carnage should continue for a
number OF years. They said in Aug
ust. 1914. that the war would not last
three months. hut il has already last
ga only three months less than three
years.
The statements of the professor
give a clear view OF the judgment OF
the national authorities charged with
making America ready. Our Response
has been hearty. but IL is only a start
at the most tremendous enterprise
this nation has ever undertaken. Bur.
dens which may yet seem unbeara-
BILE are coming upon us-SpQkesmar
Review.

maneuNers.
II this were done, in five years we
would have a trained army of more
than a million, which number would
increase annually until in a brief time
an the fighting force of the country
would be trained to stand behind the
guns. And while such a decree might
be questioned, coming from the feder-
al government, the right of each state
to issue the order would be question
ed nowhere.
1t would be hailed with JOY in Utah.
Our high school has already shown
what the result would be-better men
physically. and better prepared men
tally for a life work in any field. AS
though all the useful faculties Of a
man should not be trained and dis
ciplined in a way to bring out all that
is in him, and thereby prepare him
to meet his especial struggle in any
field to which the future may call him.
Earl Douglass rejOiced that only one
OF his eight IONS could read. The
world has changed since his day. but

GENERAL STAFF COMING BACK.

The army general staff, a body Of
experts provided to advise the secre-
tary Of war and through him congress,
is coming back into favor. All at
once IL has been discovered that this
body of trained experts has greater
knowledge than civilian cabinet offic-
ers can gather over night, and the ad-
vice of this once scorned general staff
Is now being sought. No longer are
the recommendations ~pigeonholed or
revised. or coldly ignored. The change
is attributed to the presence here Of
the British and French commissions.
Former Secretary of War Lindley NJ.
Garrison attempted to follow the rec
concentrations of the general staff. but
he ran counter to the political volun-
teer fallacy that claimed the support
of the administration a little more than
a year ago.and was forced out of the
cabinet. Now that the volunteer sys-
tenn has been admitted to be a failure
and has been abandoned. the admins
tration has adopted in large measure
the principles which made a victim
Of Garrison. These things are weak
nesses of all democratic forms of gov
eminent. II we can profit by the mis-
takes that have been made the mis-
takes will not have been in vain.

WHAT SHOULD BIZ.

General Joffre wants an American
army sent to France for the moral
effect IL would have upon France and
Germany. No doubt France would
hail a small contingent under the
American flag with unbounded enthu-
siasm-as the ayaunt courier OF the
irrestihle power behind il.
But what would impress Germany
much more than that would be a de-
cree on the part Of our government
that all male students In the last two
grades OF our public schools, and in
the high schools, should take military
training as a part OF the curriculum.

autumn these students should be Civ

surface craft that the Germans are
able to set afloat.
What is the subnVrine-building ca
pacity OF Germany How long does
Q take her 10 build a U-boat. and how
many can sine turn out within a
month Nobody outside Of Germany
can answer that question. But we can
make q pretty good guess, not at the
number OF submarines that she Is
building. but at The number that she
colid build. if she wished 10. And be
cause she has stated that IN this sub
marine warfarie lies her one last
chauco OF victory. We may as well
make up our minds 20 the fact that
Germany Is dropping all construction
1u capital ships. and Is bending the
Nhole of her ship and engine building
strength 20 the construction Of sub
marines.
Recently We published an estimate of
the building ways accommodation for
submarine construction IN the public
and private yards OF Germany and we
found that without constructing any
new ways. she could have no less than
$50 submarines under construction at
one and the same time. AS to the
time necessary TO complete a sub
marine. We recently asked the presi-
dent of one OF our large shipbuilding
yards how long it would take him TO
build submarines, II they were con
atructed TO a common plan, and II
the whole OF his plant was given up to
the work. He told us that. under
such conditions, he could build them
20 the rate OF five months 10 a sub
marine. So that II we allow six
months for the construction OF a Ger
man submarine. II is quite conceivable
that by the autumn OF this year, Ger
many may have set afloat 500 U-bOats
additional 10 the two hundred or three
hundred. or whatever number II may
be. which she has IN commission today.
By the spring OF next year she may
have a thousand or twelve hundred
boats al work The construction OF
the hulls would be tho least difficult
part OF the problem and as TO the en-
eines. Germany Is the home Of The

Furthermore. the total number of sub
marines that have been sunk is not
nearly so large AS Is popularity sup

Let us then be wise and assume the
worst. Let us take II for granted that
Germany IS able TO build and is, in
deed now building submarines AT the
rate OF a hundred a month and a thou

she IA launching submarines at some
such rate is suggested by the recent
