This sense of security, and the feeling that
one could attack us because we were so
large and so far away, persisted until the out
break OF the great war. Then we discovered
that an enemy did not have to come to our
shore in order to attack us But we discovered
still more startlingly that the enemy could
come to our shore to attack il they so
wished.

Once Felt Secure
In the old days, when battleships moved
with stately and slow impressiveness steaming
toward the objective of their threat, nation
counted its safety by its distance from the
fighting base and the length of the range of
its defense guns. The land batteries had to
be placed only at strategic points, for there
are only a few places on any coast that bat
tleship can attack effectively. There is no point
in a great man-of-war steaming along coast
and dropping shells on pine ridges and rocky
bluffs. New York. Boston. Charleston, New
Orleans, half a dozen ports, were the only
possible detectives of battle fleet. And these
might be defended by land batteries with
few long.range guns, from any battleship a1oat,
for no battleship can carry gun whose range
and caliber equal that of the land fort. The
same was true Of the Pacific. A coast line
stretching 1900 miles offered only few vulner-
able points for battleship attacks-Seatte. Port.

that an attack, instead Of being made on four

the United States and Japan that it appeared

u. s. Does Not Want War.
We do not want war, with Japan; we do not
want war with any country we are the most
peaceabe people on earth. We are as reluctant
to fight as a Chinaman, perha ps more so, and
we never fight until it becomes necessary, but
will fight when it does become necessary.
However, our great fault has always been that
left all preparations for conflict until the
conflict had started and thus lost manifold
more lives and money than necessary. Not
only that, but if we do not want war. our one
and only security from it's ravages is going to

nation to land troops in America to march

prestige. And the danger to our commerce
would be not from battleships, but from fast
cruisers cruiser that could destroy hun
dred merchantmen and escape unscathed.
Japan today is concentrating all her naval
energies on building these fast cruisers. AL

the airplane, and let Germany take it away
from her, and let France and England build

war. Our boys learned to fly with amazing
