THE WARNING NOTE.
The .speech delivered by Kx-Presi
dent Tnft in Xew York December f>, in
which he advocated a decided increase
in the army .and navy of the United
States and also ihe iccent emphatic
statements made b> Representative
Richard Pearson Hobson, as to notor
ious lack of preparedness of this coun
try in tiie event of a sudden and un
looked for war. assume a startling
significance in the light of present de
velopments in opr relations witli the
governments of Great Britain and
Germany. As stated by the former
President, while tills country lias been
able to maintain a strict neutrality In
the Kurnpean war, so far, it is impos
sible to tell when some utterly un
locked for event might bring her into
tho struggle.
When the present situation is con
sidered this statement seems almost
prophetic as at the present time, re
gardless of the efforts of the adminis
tration to avoid friction, we neverthe
less find ourselves confronted with
difficulties with ihe contending powers
over conditions which no preventive
measures or penetrating foresight
could render impossible.
While tiie present difficulties cannot
he considered in any degree n casus
hcllli they are an ample demonstra
tion that the developments of tomor
row or the next day may he lie fraught
with even greater possibilities of dis
cord or of open rupture Against such
possibilities we have no protection.
Treaties are of no avail and the
pledges of nations are but a shameless
mockery of honor. By no earthly
measures of prevention can we hope
to place ourselves beyond tiie danger of
being plunged headlong into tiie fury
of conflict at almost a moments notice,
and. in the face of the almost total lack
of preparation for such a contingency,
the country would suffer a blow which
might be in tiie nature of a disaster.
The woeful luck of efficiency displayed
by the United States in the Spanish
American war is hut little remedied to
day. according to the statements of
Representative Hobson, and it can
hardly lie doubted that he knows where
of he speaks. His are no .linguist ut
terances. nor the word) mouthing* of
a war maniac. Hobson 1ms been
trained in that department on which
is based tiie very corner stone of our
national defense and is therefore com
petent to judge. Hence, wiien lie
makes tin- statement that only at an
enormous cost in men and mone\. and
by the most lierculanean efforts can
we hope to defend ourselves against
-t — - n—i l-w-l —riMf
the hostile aggression of any one of the
first class powers of today, his words
nre invested with a weight, which we
can 111 afford to disregard. The total
Inadequacy of the military arm of our
government in the Spanish-American
war cannot he forgotten, and although
we won that war, the victory reflected!
I hut little credit on the military branch:
"f the American government and the |
1 scandals which arose through th
I Plunderings of the military officials re
niitined a stench in American nostrils!
which lias hardly been forgotten to this:
day. Thousands of our brute boys
! were hurried into the realms of eternity
lor no other reason than that Un
American military authorities were
totally unprepared to face a puny war
which had been nearly a half year in
the brewing And yet withal we won.
but in the event of embroilment yylth
one of the modern powers, the story
might be far different and also in such
event it is little doubted that the same
shameful and humilating story of in
| adequacy and lack of preparation
> would be again repeated The need of.
an increase in our army and navy is
i apparent to every one who reads the
public prints The condition of the
navy is not so pressing, but that our
oiflnilesmul land forces are totally in
I adequate to cope with u modern army,
inquires but a simple comparison to
become perfectly clear to even the most
; superficial observer
The American troops are remarkable
fighting units it must be admitted, hut.
under modern conditions of warfare
the most superlative individual voloi
■ ounts for very little in the face of an
army trained to right merely as a cog
in a yutit machine, and whose action
is -inly comparable with ilie automatic
movements of the great engines of de
'truetlon they employ. Despite the
I general sense of security it is apparent
that the country is trembling on the
| verge of peril and with the too all ap
parent lack of adequate means of de
fense it is difficulty to understand the
deference accorded the wishes of the
maudlin peace sentimentalists by the
arbiters -<f our national destine
