Morgan Refuses to Comment on Lusitania Lieutenant-General Nealon at Front for England Edison Thinks America "Will Avert War With Germany Duke of Genoa Directing Italian Navy. Arms and the ftce, by R. M. Johnston, (X. 1 Th Century Company, New York City. Mr. Johnston is not a military alarm ist, because it pays to be one. Ha is assistant professor of history at Harvard University, is lecturer on mili tary history at the Wax College, Wash ington, D. C, and is considered to be one of the greatest living authorities on Napoleonic history. Mr. Johnston has written this book to prove and he does prove that the United States should instantly take steps to secure and train an adequate army, regular and militia, of 305c,20G, to be doubled in six months, for defense. He would take this new army out of the control of all politicians and es pecially of Congress, and pla.ce it in the- hands of a. trained Army Bureau under .Federal supervision. Hie would investigate the cause of our 'military unpreparedness Congress. To get a sufficient amount of interest in Con gress on army reform, the great Ameri can, public must first be converted, and then Congressmen and Senator a will be elected, with a plain mandate from the people to call the new army into being. Conscription is not proposed, in fact Mr. Johnston leaves the method of obtaining this army, open. The little book is one with a mission. May it succeed. These extracts will be fbun-d, of in terest: , No nation, ever receiver nort definite varnlns that hor hour was -L hand than licJgium. "How did she meet it Her attitude was most characteristic, and bad ni"ny points cf resemblance with chat of in is .country toward the military problem. Sha was en grossed In one of the xnoeL remarkable out bursts of industrial energy that the world has seen. Iabor problems and social re forms had become urgent. She concentrated her attention on herself. Xeyond her bor der there was nothing to interest her, for her ambition did not lie that way. She was impatient,' one is almost tempted to aay naturally impatient, at any thought of spending -money and foresight on anything so irreconcilable with her thoughts as an. army. And the up si t mas & haphazard, neglectful. ineffective treatment of the problem. Then she woke up one fine morn ing to find her country wrecked and m aahes." "Blood and Iron! All Germany shuddered at this cynical and brutal formula, though at the present time people are a littitt apt to forget this quite important fact. All- Germany shuddered. Bismarck stood alone, .with a few thin-lipped soldiers drawn up at attention behind him. And even among hish-placed. official in Uterlin it was wlim ptred that he wa demented, a lunatic who ought to be locked up. lnfortnjiateiyK there was more in what he said than they could realize for the moment. The policy he in tended to carry out by violence was irre sistibly driven by deep-acting ware flowing steadily toward that very Mhore on whlci Bismarck had set his over-eager eyes. And, to make things worse, the intellect of Eu rope happened at that time to be captivated by those theories of men struggling In na ture which Darwin had made fashionable. In the struggle fur the survival of the fit test were not blood and iron Inevitable factors German Intellectuaiism pressed in where plain people would not have ven tured." "One of the gravest; obstacles (to dis armament lies in the fact that no- two nations are situated in the same way. Will Germany disarm? This means the surrender of her ambitions to epepand over the less well-occupied regions of the world. It means the arousing off a fear that the hos tile alien elements within the empire, the Danes, the Poles, the Alsac-Lforraiuers, even the Bavarians or axons, might then at tempt to assert local sovereignty. It means fear that the superier numbers of Russia, which could not be wholly disarmed might prevail asainst her. "It has Just been said that Russia could not wholly disarm. Her Cossacks are the1 f nest raw cavalry in the world, though useless in organized armies for lack, of training- But if organized, armies were sup pressed they might, then easily prove the decisive force. For even If these primitive tribesmen could be made to surrender car bine and sword and ammunition, even If the manufacture of arm were declared illegal, it is obviously they who could most rapidly hammer oat from the plowshare the pear bead of the sword; and the days of Attlla might be on us again. "In the case of England (Great Britain) the difficulty is even greater. The Knglish army has long been maintained for colonial and not for E uropean purposes. Won id she be required to put it down on a Euro pean disarmament, or might she retain it? To pu It down, would open the Khyber pass and create a new Mogul empire. Will Afghanistan be required to disarm, and will Arabia, and if so, who will enforce the decree and now? "To say that war is stupid and wicked may be tru; moat people nowadays are a -reed on this point. But it does not dis pose of tha question. it is only in the kindergarten text that it takes two to make a quarrel, aa every page of history, ancient and modem, demonstrates: and we have some ve ry recen t cases. If war is trt u d id and wicked, to encourage others to make war by remaining defenseless Is stupid, wicked and criminal. And to avoid that crime it ls not necessary to threaten, it is nut necessary to arm to the teeth, We have merely to. raise our army to a standard that will place (t about on a level with those of the second or third-rate European powers, sar somewhere between those of Holland and Ruumania. To Imagine that this would be. a uepaxture from our old- time pacifism, that it would alarm Europe lose us our moral power, and eo forth, is cheap clap-trap for very ignorant and fool li-h aartiences. It would, of course, btvi precisely tha opposite effect. It would show European statesmen that we can face the issue of peace- and war, and that if grave problem like that of Mexico, should be thrust upon us, we are capable of solv ing it wnicnt now appears q.uite doubtful. "The fact Is that no subject Is m6re dif ficult In tt range of historical, psycho logical, and technical factors, than the mili tary art; yet by one of those strange hal lucinations to which man is subject, there 1s none on which the layman feel so com petent to pass an opinion. And the less he knows about it, the more drastic is hi: into the theoretical and practical difficul ties that surround the soldier that his views become more tentative. Until we have per uaded Congress of this fact, until it has become willing to delegate some authority to boards of experts, as it might in ques tiocs of engineering, sanitation, forestry and so on. -there is- little hope of wiser views prevailing. "The seizure of the Philippines from Fpain may be ranked among the worst mili tary blunders committed by any American Government it is diificult to put the matter more strongly. It is a weak, ex-centric. m ilitary poeiMon, fundamentally indefen sible asainst any strong trans-Pacific power. but inevitably a magnet to draw troops and ships away from our shores. A popular clamor might at any time result in a weak Administration sending the battle fleet from the Atlantic to Manila- And the result would be Instantly to lose for us the in calculable influence our fleet has given us these last 10 years in all North Atlantic questions: while at the same moment we should Jeopardize for no adequate purposes the safety of that fleet at the other end of the world by attaching to it a base far too weak to g-iv it the Indispensable maxi mum of support."" "Whatever their dangers, materialism and pacifism find man in his most developed state. However much we may admire the primitive virtues of courage and generosity, however much we may despise greed and the far of death or even pain, we are bound to tske a man's advance in terms of the In tellect It is by thinking and reasoning that we have advanced, and by th Inking and reasoning we have reared a civilization that snake for happiness and abhors destruction and bloodshed. Our great problem is one of balance, of advancing wisely without im pudence, lest we slip back Into the primitive brute, or on the other hand lose our foot hold in a too-eager search for happiness."

One dozen essays on the serious side of things, written with that grace of expression of which Mr. Burroughs is master. "I crave and seek, a natural explana- ation of all phenomena upon this earth, writes our author. "An explanation of life phenomena that savors of the lab oratory and chemism repels me. and an explanation that savors of the the ological point of view is equally dis tasteful to me. But the word "natural" to me implies more than mere chem istry or physics. The birth of a baby. and the blooming: of a flower, are nat ural events, and .the laboratory methods forever fail to give us the key to the secret of either. "Science can only deal with life as a physical phenomenon; as a psychic phenomenon it is beyond its scope, ex cept so far as the psychic is manifested through the physical. Not till it has produced living matter from dead cart it speak with authority upon the ques tion of the origin of life. ... The scientific explanation of life phenomena is analog-ftus to reducing; a living body to its ashes and pointing; to them the lime, the iron, the phosphorus, the hy drogen, the oxygen, the carbon, the nitrogen as the whole secret. "Chance is a man lost in the woods; he never arrives; he wanders aimlessly. If evolution pursued a course equally fortuitous, would it not still be wan dering; irt the wildernass of the chaotic nebulae? "The whole organic world is filled, from top to bottom, with one tremen dous effort. It was long ago felicitous ly stated by Whitman, in his 'Leaves of Grass,' 'Urge and urge, always the procreant urge of the world.' "If we are merely mechanical and chemical accidents, all the glory of life, all the meaning of our moral and spir itual natures go by the board. "Life is like a bird of passage which alights and tarries for a time and i gone, and the places where it perched and nested and led forth is brood know it no more. Apparently it flits from world to world as the great cosmic Spring conies to each and departs- as the cosmic Winter returns to each. It is a visitor, a migrant, a frail, timid thing, which waits upon the seasons and flees from the coming tempests and vicissitudes. "I cannot get rid of, or hold in abey ance, my inevitable idealism if I would; neither can I do violence to my equally inevitable naturalism, but may I not hope to make the face of my natural ism, beam with the light of the ideal the light that never was in the physico chemical order, and never can be there? "After we have reached the point of the utmost divisibility of matter In the atom we are called upon to go still further and divide the indivisible. The electrons, of which the atom is- com posed, are one hundred thousand times smaller, and two thousand times lighter than the smallest particle hitherto rec ognized, namely, the hydrogen atom. A French physicist conceives of the elec trons as rushing about in the interior of the atom like swarms of gnats whirling about in the dome of a cathe dral." An American Fruit Fterni. by Francis New ton, illustrated. $.otf. G. P. Putnam's Sons. Is'ew York City. Mr. Thorpe is a member of the State Horticultural Association of Pennsyl vania, and his book, "An American Fruit Farm," its selection, and manage ment for profit and for pleasure, is a record of a famous fruit farm that lies in the Lake Shore Valley, on the southern shore of Lake Erie, in Penn sylvania, a region rich in. horticulture. The book is one of actual experience, its advice is worth following and the talk is like that of a friend engaged in actual conversation. "How; to use the land" is often pointed out. The chapter heads: "Time and the Tree"; "Selecting the Fruit Farm"; "The Planting of the Fruit Farm"; "Getting Along With the Help"; "The Cultivation of the Fruit Farm"; "Feed ing the Land": "The Fruit Farm and the Young Folks"; "Ten Thousand a Year"; "Birds and the Fruit Farm"; "The Fruit Farm and Old Age." When Blood I Their Argument, by Lord lladox Mueffner. SI. George H. Doran Co., New York City. Scorchinir, fierce and illumining, this book of S54 page.", with index, gives a powerful and deep-probing account of what German ideals really are to day as viewed by Mr. Hueffner, who is of German ancestry. The book is a decided eye-opener, and after reading it one cannot but come to the conclnsion that if Ger many wine the present war and that will mean a prostrate ' Britain, with I V, m shattered Anglo-Saxon aims the fate of all -mankind in the future will be as Germany wills it. German "kultur means something like our English words "thorough efficiency," with the conviction that the individual is subservient to the state, and that public service comes befoie everything. The three, main theses Of this re markable book are: (a) Under the auspice's of Prussia, the standard of culture in Germany has steadily and swiftly deteriorated. (b) The deterioration of the standard of culture- in Germany has caused a deterioration of culture throughout the whole civilized world. (c Germany has produced no art of a really capital kind since 1870, and all German art. and learning have been steadily on the down-grade since 1818. Tt is safe to- say that many Germans will dislike this book. The- loulle Traitor, by- IS. Phillips Oppen heim. SL35. Utile, Brown A CoM Boston. Mr. Oppenheim is again up to date.

UNIVERSITY OF OREGON, Eugene, June 5.- (SpeciaL In a 4J-acre tract near Eugene five university stu dents have enumerated 494 birds be longing to 40 species. According to A. C. Shelton, of the university biological department, this is a greater number of birds than- can be found nesting in any other tract in the state and it is doubtful if the record is surpassed by any similar tract in the United States. The count was made en request of the Department of Agriculture and is part of a movement to ascertain the number and variety of migratory birds in the country. Following the Instructions sent from Washington the students spent tour mornings from early daylight until about 6 o'clock counting the male birds. At that time of day the male bird sings close to his nest and it is easy to locate each songster. The count is repeated for several morn ings so that errors may be avoided. The more common varieties showed by the count were: Tolmie warblers, 20: Bob White quail, 10; oireo, 34; thrush. 3; towhee, 40; yellow warblers, 52; robins. 60, and song sparrows. 72.

In making his ex periments he made a study of the spell ing of 172, University students and 1200 children in the Eugene schools. In ad dition he had similar statistics regard ing spelling and reading from the schools of other cities. "Those who get good grades in read ing are the best spellers." says Dr. Dallenbach. "Twenty per cent is re garded as a high degree of correlation In making comparison, but in this case it is 75 per cent. "I am not offering any recommenda tions regarding the teaching of spell ing, but I shall turn the results of my investigation ever to the department of education In the University."1 Dr. Dallenbach was struck by the astonishing amount of misspelling among the mature University students. He took his examples largely from his examination papers. In a psychology class he found the word "psychology" spelled in I different ways. In one class of slightly more than 100 stu dents, the word "basilar" membrane was misspelled 7 times In 24 different ways. Dr. Dallenbach divides the causes of misspelling into three classes: pro nunciation, 66 per cent; haste, 32 per cent, and miscellaneous, 2 per cent.
