 The army is ever growing. The work of training began feverishly back in August, 1914, and it has been carried on without a break ever since in all parts Of the coun- try. A special law was passed some two years since greatly widening the circle of those liable to service, with the result that all the men under arms on August 1, 1914, now have been relieved by newly trained men and sent home, though they can be recalled to the colors immediately should occasion arise.

 operations against the United States of North America must be en- tirely different. With that country, in particular, political friction, man ifcst in commercial aims, has not been lacking in recent years, and has until now been removed chiefly through acquiescence on our part. However, as this submission has it's limit, the question arises as to what means we can develop to carry out our purpose with force in order to combat the encroachments of the United States upon our interests. Our main factor is our fleet It is evident, then, that a naval war against the United States can not be carried on with success with out at the same time inaugurating action on land * It is almost q certainty, however, that a vic torious assault on the Atlantic coast, tying up the importing and exporting business of the whole country, would bring about such an annoying situation that the gov ernment would be willing to treat for peace

UNAFRAID IN 1901.

If the German invading force were equipped and ready for trans porting the moment the battle fleet is dispatched, under average condi- tions, these corps can begin opera tions on American soil within at least four weeks. The United States at this time (1901D is not in a position to oppose our troops with an army of equal rank. ,"
 The fact that one or two of her provinces are occupied by the in qaders would not alone move the Americans to sue for peace To ac- complish this end the invaders would have to inflict real material damage by injuring the whole coun- try through the unsucc sssful seiz- ure of many of the Atlantic sea ports in which the threads of the entire wealth of the nation meet It should be so managed that a line of land operations would be in close juncture with the fleet through which We would be in a position to seize in short time many of these important and rich cities, to interrupt their means of supply, disorganize all government al affairs assume control of all use ful buildings, confscate all war and transport supplies, and lastly, to inn pose heavy indemnities.

On account of unprecedented con-

among the milkmen to give up their

their dairy by converting their milk
into butter at the present high cost
