The evident intention of con
gresc to vote down any and all
ateempts to increase the military
forces to any considerable degree,
suggests t i nomas A. Edison
j« , t the mark when he
prophesies that America will
never adopt preparedness until it
is too late to prevent some other
nation from walking all over us.
Indeed, Edison is not the first to
spect to the future action o^ tfus
country on the preparedness is
sue. Something over three
months ago tnat somewhat er
ratic. though undeniably level
headed and far-sighted English
man, Lord Northcliffe, wrote a
long article for a leading New
York newspaper in which he
voiced an opinion identical with
that of the famous “W izard of
Orange.” Northcliffe said that
America was very much like Eng
land in that she will never learn
her lessons until the hand of an
enemy is at her throat and the
very existence of the nation
hangs trembling in the balance.
There are few of us who have not
at some time diparagingly crit
icized Britain for the utter ab
sence of all military precaution
disclosed by the war. Yet if we
remember rightly the so-called
“Home army” of Great Britain
exclusive of the reserve forces,
totaled something over one hun
dred and eighty thousand officers
and men. Back of this was a
reserve force known as the "army
reserve” of eighty thousand and a
"territorial army” of three hun
dred thousand—a total force of
seven hundred and twenty four
thousand men. England also had
something like two thousand and
seventy odd field guns, nearly
treble the number credited to the
United States at the present time.
And yet we are prone to call Bri
tain an unprepared nation; are
even inclined to laugh at what
we are pleased to term the ab
surdity of calling her “mighty
England.” Yet England had over
three fourths of a million trained
men at her command when the
first gun of the great war was
fired and the mightiest war fleet
the sun ever shone on. Had we,
of the United States an army of
such dimensions we would un
doubtedly consider ourselves ab
solutely impregnable against the
assaults of the mightiest foe. Yet
withal England was as weak as
an infant when it come to the
shown down and there is every
reason to believe that, had it not
been for the remarkable fighting
capacities of the Belgian nation,
the German would long ago have
flung his legions against the
chalky cliffs of Dover. Whether
he would have been successful in
securing a foot hold on British
soil is something no one can
guess but jt undeniably true
that if he failed, the failure would
be due soley to the mighty wa»
fleet which forms Britain's bul
wark of defense- Bereft of her
magnificent fleet there is little
to doubt that the Teuton would
today be dining in London or
stamping hia booted heels within
the bomb riddled min a of Buck
ingham palace. And yet ^England
had a trained army enfer five
times the size of the one Congress
expects to provide for the United'
States in spite of all the lessons
of the war- If England was un
prepared with an army of nearly
three quarters of a million trained
men backed up by a navy treble
the size of any other, how re
markably well provided will be
the United States with a huge
armv of one hundred and thirty
five thousand men and a powerful
artillery division of something
like twelve or fifteen hundred
guns, a couple of dozen aero
planes and powder and shot
enough to last a week or so pro
vided our army had not been shot
to pieces before that time. Oh,
yes! We have a war fleet that
can lick the navies of the earth
—if it catches them one ship at a
time. Truly Edison is right and
Northcliffe is right, especially the
latter. We will never get any
sense until it is pounded into us.
What we need is a good thrash
ing to teach us to look out for
ourselves. Like England we will
refuse all warnings of the fate to
come and like England 'we will
some day weep in the bitterness
of regret, while making frantic
efforts to repair the follies that
led us to our doom.
OVfR 500 HURT
IN AIR RAID
A. P. A. Service.
AMSTERDAM, March 22.—
According to advices reaching
here today from accurate sources,
ihe great allied air raid on 2Jee
brugge Monday not only resulted
in the almost complete destruc
tion of the town but was also re
sponsible for the death and injury
persons were killed by the bombs
of the air squadron and some
thing over three hundred and fif
ty were injured in the raid and
tire which followed. It is indi
cated that the damage was so ex
tensive that the Germans may
abandon further attempts to use
the town as a submarine base ow
ing to its position making it an
especially easy mark for repeated
attacks of that character.
WILSON DENIES
THAT GERMANS
SEEK PEACE
fi. P. A. Service.
WASHINGTON, March aa.—
President Wilson has issued a
complete denial of the reports
that Germany has requested the
United States to make peace over
tures to the allies. Rumors of this
nature have been in circulation
heie for the past two days in
4pite of the statements of the
state department officials that
they were not aware of such pro
posal. 'lhe president was repre
sent at the W hite House this af
ternoon as being resentful at the
publication of stories by the
morning papers to the effect that
Ambassador Gerard had reported
that Germany was about to make
i move for peace.

from the rails during a particu
