Held Our Army Cheaply

At present the regular army of the United States amounts to 65,000 men, of whom about 3O,O0O could be disposed of. Of these at least 10000 are required for watching the Indian territories and for guarding the for tifications on the sea coasts. There fore, only about 10000 men of the regular army are ready for war. Be sides, about 100000 militia are in ex- istence, of whom the larger part did not come up when they were called out during the last war. Lastly, the militia is not efficient; it is partly armed with muzzle loaderS and its training is worse than its armament,
 "The Americans will not feel in clined to conclude peace because one or two provinces are occupied by an army of invasion, but because of the enormous material losses which the whole country will suffer if the At lantic harbor towns, in which the threads of the whole prosperity of the United States are concentrated, are torn away from them one after another.

 Therefore, the task of the fleet would be to undertake a series of large landing operations, through which we are able to take several of these important and wealthy towns within brief space of time. By in. terrupting their communications, by

HERE'S DOPE ON
 GERMANY'S PLAN TO CONQUER J. s.

An eventful war upon the United States was considered by the German general staff before the outbreak of the present conflict in Europe. A comprehensive scheme for the inva- sion and subjugation of this country had been arranged, even to the points and methods of attack.
 Germany'S Aims
 Not long before the clash of August 1914, Field Marshal von EdelSheim, of the PrusSian general staff engaged in detailing for the German news papers the plans for world conquest entertained by the kaiser and his mili- tary leaders. After showing in pre- viouS papers how to invade and con quer France and England and aSsum- ing this accomplished he wrote re- garding Germany'S war aims against the United States:
 Operations against the United States of North America would have to be conducted in a different man. ner from those against England.
 During the last years political fric- ton with that state, especially fric ton arising from commercial causes, has not been lacking, and the difficult ties that have arisen have mostly been settled by our giving way. As this obliging attitude has it's limits, we have to ask ourselves what force we can possibly bring to bear in order to meet the attack of the United States against our interests and to impose our will.
 Foresaw a Naval Victory
 Our fleet will probably be able to defeat the naval forces of the United States, which are distributed over two oceans and over long distances. But it would be mistake to suppose that the defeat of their fleet will force the United States with it's immense re sources into concluding peace.
 Considering the great extent of the United States, the conquest of the country by any army of invasion is not possible. But there is every reason to believe that victorious en- terprises on the Atlantic coast and the conquest of the most important arteries through which imports and exports pass, will create such an un- bearable state of affairs m the whole country that the government will readily offer acceptable conditions in order to obtain peace,
 "If Germany begins preparing a fleet of transports and troops for landing purposes at the moment when the battle fleet Steams out of our harbors We may conclude that opera tions on American soil can begin af ter about four weeks, and it cannot be doubted that the United States will not be able to oppose to us with in that time an army equivalent to our own.

IMMENSE COAL LEDGES FOUND
 BY ALEX SMITH

Coal lodges of practically unimagin. able size, a lake of pure oil within half a mile of salt water. Those are two of the wonders of the practically unknown Arctic coast of Alaska told by Alexander Smith, who arrived in Fairbanks recently from the Koyukuk country. Mir. Smith, iE company with another man, spent the latter part of the summer on the Alaska coast of the Arctic ocean, having had many narrowing experiences in his travels in the northern wildS.
 The larger part of Mir. Smiths ex- pcrienceS were related in letter to Dr. Hedger printed in The Citizen several months ago. The letter was written from Point Barrow by Mr. Smith in October and was not received here until late in December. It told of a number of hairbreadth escapes of the two explorers when it seemed that their boat was to be caught in the ice pack and crushed, along with it's occupants and their outfit,
 Mir Smith states that his partner on the Arctic trip took sick and that he left him in the Kobuk country. He then started for the Koyukuk cHun' try, and has been there most of the time since. His intention in coming to Fairbanks was to take in the Good paster stampede, but he is as yet un- decided whether to do so or not.
 The lake of oil he describes, he says is practically pure kerosene, and he is led to believe that the whole country in the vicinity of the lake is under laid with oil. In his opinion, however, neither the oil nor the coal can ever become valuable on account of the in- accessibility of the country.
 At Point Barrow, says Mir. Smith, there are about ten white people. He met no others during his travels be- tween that point and Herschel island. An actual count of the natives met showed them to number seventy.
 In going into the Arctic country it was the intention of MT. Smith and his companion to prospect tot gold on some of the streams flowing into the Arctic ocean. They did do some banning, but never found any thing which would warrant any effort in the way of actual prospectirg.- Fairbanks CitizeuD

SWEETS ARE BARRED
IN TRAINING CAMP

Fort Sheridan, ILL.,, June 4.-Eating
of cake and candy was forbidden in
the barracks Of one Of the companies
at the reserve officers training camp
here today, and, it was asserted, sim
liar orders shortly will be posted in
all of the company barracks. 1t was
asserted that numbers Of the men
have not been hardening under the
physical drill as rapidly as possible
because of cookies, candy and soda
water consumed between meals. I'm
used to the work in the open, others
it was said, have been overeating at
meal times. This latter practice, how
ever, is automatically righting itself.
Quartermaster statistics at the post
show that the government has pur-
chased $4,000 worth Of food for the
candidates at Fort Sheridan in the
last fifteen days, including $4,000
pounds of potatoes.
