NOME, ALASKA. OCT. 6, 1915.
The announcement that the latest
(it’imun note relative to tile Arabic t
1.lenient .s cl wide variance with tile ,
prev ions 1 cpi -scnlulions is something j
,,i a surpuse in view of the fact that ,
r litiiitiy seemed very desirous of j
iiuclng herself at tights with the
i niton is later and was prepared to ,
so far as a practical abandonment
i.f the entire submarine pufltey. in
order to avoid further friction. Fol
lowing the sinking of the \\ hite Star
liner, the Teutons made every effort
to assure tile government that the
destruction of that vessel was not a
natter of direct intent, but was due
to a misapprehension on the part of
the submarine commander as to the
h' tile intentions of the British ves
sel. The I'nited States was given to
mderstand that Germany hail no in
tention of jeopardizing innocent lives
ml particularly those of American
citizens, and by way of proving her
■erity was willing to forego one of
tiw primary advantages of the sub- (
marine war. All this seemed proof I
po.-itive that Germany was Indeed .
■ ontrite; hence this sudden return to
tile previous attitude is altogether
unexplainable, and leads to the be
lief that sh, is again up to her old
nicks of evasion and subterfuge.
While the world has long accepted
Hi view that Germany was far from j
being dependable in such matters, so !
pi "found were the assurances with
respect to the Arabic affair that one
could liardlv avoid becoming convinc
ed that in this one instance at least
she was entirely sincere. Having ac
cepted this view the present de
horn mi nl is somewhat startling
and can have no other result than
lo bring that nation into still further
'll repute, not only with the I'nited
Stans but with all mankind. Ger
in ui v is a headstrong nation and her !
diplomatic ways are strange and de- ^
vious but it was never the less iliffi- j
ult i" conceive that she would de- |
liberately convict herself of duplicity ,
and deceit i.v such an amazing right
about face as is disclosed in the pre
tc.it instance There may uf course,
>e some mistake or inisaprehension
lue to a misinterpretation of the noi<
’•ui until the matter is made clear
Ormany must remain under the sus
pu ion bred of her previous errors
Mr Kdison. who is to be chairman
uf the board of scientists and in
ventors who are to advise with the
- beers of the navy on matters per
taining to preparedness for war, ha:
■ iready given some of his views on
hat the country should do as the
t .st step toward preparedness, Mr.
Kdison suggests nothing new in the
1 iw of invention or change in the
machinery of war, but. singularly
enough, applies himself strictly to the
r.iiitarv problem.
in a letter to the public press hr
'nnounces his sharp disagreement
with both Mr Ford and Mr. Wana
maker. Mr. Edison does not believe
in large military establishment. He
does believe, however, that we should
have iu stock more up-to-date war
! i tuchinery and ammunition manufac
turing capacity thun any other na
i ion in tile world ever had or ever will
have, with plenty of trained officers
nd drill sergeants. "and take a
chance that we can put the men be
hind this machinery should we be in
vaded.”
Mr. Edison's opinion on strictly
military problems, such as the degree
i t preparedness which is necessary
for the country's safety and the
length of time in which it will take
io manufacture an army or navy out
i t raw material, is no better than that
i f the average layman, in any event
ft is of infinitely less value than the
Matured opinion of army and navy
officers who have given their life
; iul> to such questions.
There will be few advocates of pre
iredness to dissent from his stute
u-nt that it Is advisable to have this
countrv equiped with all of the ma
, rial necessary for war. The idea
f "taking a chance” that we can put
ion behind tills material after the
: ru-my confronts us. who will lie “just
-i good" as trained soldiers and sail -
is thev will have to fight, is pre
,se!> tile idea which has served to
i (■ at every serious proposal for im
I'oving our military and naval de
i" The country has always bpen
*o willing to fake this chance and
is paid dearly for it in every war
m which we have been Involved.—Ex
