GREAT POWERS OF THE FUTURE
Bismarck said some j ears ago that
Germany and Russia were the only
countries that had a future. This
remark is of greater interest now
than when it was made. The utter
ance was based on a thorough know!
edge of the conditions in Europe
and of the policies under which na
tions are developing. Bismarck, be
yond any ether man of his time,
understands the relations of the past
to the present, and he has a states
man's prescience as to the future.
He is a student of character, as well
as of peoples and policies. Were he
to sperk now he would probably say
that Russia in the next hundred
yeais would become the great orient
al power, Germany the great Euro
pean power, and the United States
the great American power.
This' is not saying that Great
Britain and France are to decline,
but that Russia, Germany and the
United States are to forge ahead.
Great Britain is now the rorld
power, as Spain, Holland and France
have been in turn. For a long pe
riod Spain was the great naval power
of the world was the great colo
nizer, the very incarnation of the ad
venturous and zrasping spirit of the
world. She (wept everything before
her. But her aggressive spirit car
ried her into complications that
checked her progress, tore away her
colonies, and stripped her of power.
For forty years or more the states
men of England of both parties have
bent all their energies to limit the
influence of the United States in the
.JWest and to cripple Russia in Europe
.'and Asia. England has been strong
- enough to drive our commercial
i fleets from the seas, to prevent the
. development of Russian manufact
men, nnd until recently to shut the
., gates of oceau commerce against the
czars, but she has not been strong
venongh to prevent the phenomenal
"growth of the United States in ma
lerial wealth, in political . Influence,
and in naval strength. She has not
been strong enough to prevent the
rapid progress of Russia in rounding
out a magnificent empire and in con
solidating her strength. She was
not strong enough to prevent the
unification of the German peoples
and the foundation of an empire that
has become her rival.
But whatever may be said of
Great Britain or France, it is certain
that within the last quarter of a cen
tury the political influence of Russia
and Germany has been extended
. and solidified, while the political in
fluence of Great Britain has not in
creased, if it has not declined. While
Great Britain has been making con
cessions, Russia and Germany have
been aggressive and defiant; pro
gressive in the use of all the agencies
that contribute to national strength,
" and careful in husbanding all rc--aonrces
that look to future develop
ment. All these things are of greater in
terest now because this is a period of
shifting power, and because the pos
' sibilities of war may lead us to such
a position that we shall be compelled
to consider our opportunities and
rights as the dominant power of the
western world. If we are to be to
the western world what Germany is,
to be to Europe and Russia to the
' East, our statesmen must study for-
' eign conditions-as closely as did the
statesmen of Great Britain a hundred
years ago.
No other nation' has grown as we
nave grown in the last thirty years.
This growth, like that of Russia, has
"been from the : interior has been
based on policies looking' to the de-
velopment of our own resources.
Ndw we must turn our eyes outward
as well as inward ; we must fit our
policy to the new demands made
noon us as one of the three great
powers of the future.
NAVIES OF THE WORLD.
"What four nations have the high
est naval force?" is asked by a read.
er. Great Britain, France, Russia,
and probably Germany, in the order
named. It is har4 to weigh exactly
the naval, forces of several of the
powers of Europe, bees use some will
excel in numbers of men, while
others have heavier ships and guns,
In ships and guns Great Britain
easily leads the world. It has
twenty-nine first-class battleships,
with 114 heavy and 1257 secondary
guns. Of second and third-class
battleships it has twenty-four, with
254 heavy and 575 secondary guns,
It Las eighteen armored cruisers,
with 184 heavy and 679 secondary
guns.
In modem ships and guns Eng
land's navy outclasses that of France
by two to one. yet in the active nav
al list, France is slightly in the lead
of England. It has a total active
list of 80,920 men, as compared with
79,947 in the British navy. France
has fifteen first-class battleships, nine
second and third-class, and thirteen
armorel cruisers. -
Russia has fourteen first class bat
tleships, and four second and third
class. In its active list it has 40,532
mem It has 45,000 naval reserves.
Italy has eight first-class and two
second-class battleships. It has an
astive list of 21,734 men, and 19,600
naval reserves.
Germany has six first-class and
ten second and third-class battle
ships. It has an active list, of 21,513
men, and 37,000 naval reserves.
The United States has afloat and
in process of construction nine first-
class and two second-class battle
ships. The first-class battleships will
carry 136 heavy and 297 secondary
guns. We have two armored cruis
ers and sixteen protected and par
tially protected cruisers, but some ot
these are not yet completed. How
ever, the government has bought &
number of cruisers since war became
imminent with Spain. -
It is thus seen that with recent ac
quisitions, and tne completion of
ships now under way, the United
States will have a navy comparing
favorably with the navies of Ger
many and Italy. Before the war is
ended, we may have a navy excel-
ing that of Germany. No doubt a
fear ot this probability, a further
fear that the United States may be
come aggressive in tne eastern ques-
ion', and the circumstances that the
manufacturing and industrial inter
ests of the two countries are beginning
to clash, account for the hostile atti
tude of certain German officials and
journals. .
ONLY A CASE OF INDIGESTION
Something must have gone very
much awry with the digestive organs
of Dr. G. A. Wendlandt, editor -of
the Springfield Zeitung, for he is
striking notes upon his organ at
present which grate harshly upon the
popular ear. It seems to "be the be
lief of Dr. Wendlandt that Ameri
cans are a good deal as Weyler and
Blanco . have described them a lot
of nobodies, mere mongrels, utterly
devoid of. national spirit or military
instinct. Weyler and Blanco held
this opinion before the recent inci
dents at Matanzas and Manila, but it
is doubtfbl if they entertain it now.
Said Dr. Wendlandt in the last issue
of his Zeitung:
We have committed the folly of
wantonly plunging our country, into
war; now it is our duty to prepare
for it in an adequate manner. . In
case of war we must, figure ou some
reverses. Supposing our navy would
be defeated and the Spaniards would
land an army of invasion of 50,000
or 100,000 men under competent
generals; where is the armywe could
oppose - them with ? In such case it
would actually and solely devolve
upon the much-hated foreigners, the
German Americans who learned -the
science of war under Emperor Will
iam of Germany, to rally around our
flag and call' a halt to the intruders.
The dyspeptic doctor is, of bourse,
talking for himself. He does not
express the views of. any considera
ble number of German-Americans
anywhere. . The German-American
veteran, whether he learned the
science of . war under Emperor Will-
Tarn or Crown Prince Frederick or
Von Moltke of Germany, or undr
Giant, Sherman or Sheridan of the
United States, knows that . there are
no better soldiers. or sailors, born or;
bred than the men born on . this
soil. - ' ' j . ' '
This statement can be made with
out detracting in the least from the
skill or the bravery of the American
soldier or sailor of foreign birth. On
the contrary, it may be accepted in
the light of a testimonial to the man.
hood which our American soldiers
and sailors have inherited from for
eign sires, of all nationalities. While
the German-American, Irish-American.
Swedish-American, and Euro-
ptan-American generally in the civil
war displayed a valor that won for
them the admiration and the grati
tude of this country, the native sol
diersthe sons of Yankee sires
were to be found at the front and in
the thick of every struggle, and,
whether as commanding officers or
private soldiers, proved ' themselves
equal, intellectually, morally and
physically, to their companions of
foreign birth or foreign training.
Americans have in time gone by
stood face to face in battle array
with the flower of European soldiery.
They fought Germans as well as
Englishmen in the revolutionary war,
The results of their conflicts with the
Hessians under Cornwallis and Bur
goyne may be unknown to the dys
peptic doctor of Springfield, but they
are - familiar to every American
schoolboy.. . So that when the editor
of the Springfield Zeitung says that
"if one company of Prussian soldiers
would attack these 10,000 men (at
Camp Tanner) they would scatter in
all directions, like a flock of sheep
attacked by a dog" he is simply
talking nonsense. $ .
Nowhere on earth are the Prussian
soldiers regarded with more admira
tion than in the United States. But
we are not prepared to admit that a
company of Prussian soldiers would
more than hold its own against a
company of well-drilled Yankees.
Men of Dr. Wendlandt's caliber,
no matter what their nativity may
be, are not qualified to speak for any
class in this country, and least of all
for the German-Americans, who are
not only an enlightened, but a broad
minded people. - .
DEWEY AND THE OLYMPIA.
The Spokesman-Review says:
"The rule for naming war vessels
of the United States navy.is to call
the battleships for the states, the
cruisers for cities. Thus we have
the battleships Indiana, Iowa, Mas
sachusetts, Oregon, Texas, and we
have the cruisers New York, Brook
lyn, Atlanta, Baltimore, Boston,
Charleston, Chicago and so on.
"It changes that the flagship of
Commodore Dewey's victorious
squadron wad named in honor of the
capital of Washington, and in grace
ful recognition of this fact, a move
ent has been started at Olympia to
present the officers with a silver
service. . ' ..
"A service such as should be given
in this case will cost several thous
and dollars. It ought to ' be the
fittest and most elaborate carried by
any ship in the American navy. The
citizens of Olympia are anxious to
do their part, and it is hoped that
their appeal for aid will not go un
heeded.'! :
