has the confidence of all classes. He
is n man Of the people, having been
elevated to Il pcerage In recognition of
distinguished services to his country,
including Investigations of the cond-

States may be expected to help cement
not only the friendly relations between
his government and this county, but to
renew many acquaintances. When he
was in New York city In October, 1907,
he was guest of honor ut Il luncheon
at the Lawyers club, on which Occa-

WALTER CAMP WILL TRAIN MEN

In the first burst of patriotic en-.
thusiasm. attendant upon the entry Of
the United States into the war, the
older men naturally wanted to keep
step with the youngsters in seeing the
thing through. And so, throughout the
country, innumerable quasi-military or
ganizations have sprung into exis-
tence, numbering on their roster men
of all nges. The training has been car.
ried on with little or no attempt ut dis
elimination; men of fifty and over
would be sent out on wild hikes of
ten miles or more over rough country
and muddy spring roads. AS an inev-
table consequence, most of the older
men would have to drop out; some of
them have been permanently injured
by the ignorance and indiscretion of
their commanding officers.
A month or more ago this problem
of conserving the physical resources
Of the nations older men presented It.

Facing the facts. not deceiying our

realize that for America there is but

Recent press accounts of joint con
ferences in Washington and in Lon
don ana Paris would indicate new
naval policy in the fight upon German
U-boats, series of attacks upon
bases and channels and routes of
egress and ingress. as advocated from
the first in this series of articles. The
attack on Zeebrugge is probably the
first event of this changed policy.
Dispatches cited three general
plans, namely: First, the complete
forcing of the channels with the de
struction of the German main fleets
and navy yards and naval stations,
including the klel Canal second, the
blocking and mining of the outer
channels, including the narrow pas
sage between Sweden and Denmark;
third the sowing of all the North Sea.

ton OF all navigation.

plan, that Of attempting to destroy
the German main fleet navy yards

ellis took up at all this plan it was
only to drop it at once as impractica-
BILE if not impossible, for II would
involve the unequal contest between
ships and coast artillery. Taking due
account of the inaccessibility of the
Kiel Canal and its approaches, it is
manifest that no preponderance Of
capital ships on the part of the allies
would Justify their fruitless sacrifice

Land Forces Necessary


The capture of such fortified naval
stations and harbors of refuse can
only be accomplished by the use OF
land forces operating from the rear,

counter-mining. followed by a quick
dash past the forts by the attacking

OF course, small swift vessels Of
less military important can make sur
prise attacks by night with the hope
of inhicting limited injury and with
some chances of escape. AS rule,

tacks is the moral effect upon ones

this kind of auxiliary attack.
The Germans, with their usual
thoroughness, have scored marked

ciating the value of such auxiliary at
tacks upon naval bases harboring
enemy fleets in pointing out the utter
unsoundness of plans that would at
tempt to destroy the German naval
bases from the sea, using the princi.
pal fleet for the work.
The third plan proposed that of SOW.
ing the North Sea broadcast with
mines, Is sounder than the first but It
entails so many attendant diadvan-
tages and such huge obstacles and
limitations that in view of the great
depts to which submarines can dive
and the small pospect of success even
with a vast outlay, this third plan
may be looked upon as desirable only
as last resort. think II can be
assumed that the proposed operations
against German naval bases will be
largely confined to blocking the pas
sage In and out for submarines.
