WASHINGTON. July 29. "Watchful
waiting." as a Republican campaign
policy is about to end. With the ac
ceptance speech of Charles E. Hughes
on Monday, the issues of the campaign
will be presented and Republican
orators all over tho Nation will begin
their exposure of the evils which, in
their view. Democratic rule has brought
on the country.
Mr. Hughes' address has been pre
pared with the utmost care. It has
been submitted to various leaders, in
cluding Colonel Roosevelt, and correct
ed in accordance with their sugges
tions. It4s described as a strong, force
ful document, directed especially at the
foreign policy of the Administration
though the jurist candidate also has as
sailed the domestic legislative pro
gramme of the President and Con-
cress.
The Democrats have said that it Is all
well enough to criticise: but what
would the Republicans have done under
similar circumstances?
Firm Attitude ceaarr.
Men who have seen the Hughes
statement say the New Yorker has
laid down precisely the steps he would
have taken in dealing with Germany on
the submarine question and with the
allies in connection with their interfer
ence with American trade. Mr. Hughes
will assert that had the United States
adopted and observed a firm attitude
neither the Lusitania nor any other of
- the passenger ships sunk without warn
ing would have been destroyed. He
also refers to the fact that more than a
year has elapsed since the destruction
of the Lusitania, yet no reparation has
! yet been obtained from the German
government.
In the case of the British channel
steamer Sussex, the Swiss government
has received compensation for its un-
fortunate subjects aboard that vessel.
The United States is still inquiring
what penalty has been visited upon the
submarine officer who directed the dis
charge of the torpedo.
It is largely in relation to Mexico
that Mr. Hughes will shoot his greatl
Runs. He holds the Administration ha
pursued a weak and vacillating policy
in connection with that problem, a
policy that has been costly in
American life and treasure with abso
lutely no return in the way of internal
peace and order in the neighboring
country.
Intervention Not Advocated.
The Republican standard-bearer does
not advocate intervention, but he does
make it . clear that he regards it as a
paramount duty of the Government to
protect the lives of citizens and their
The Republicans have been anxious
especially that Mr. Hughes should avoid
proposing anything that might savor
of war. They realize President Wilson
has been playing the game in such
fashion that there Is danger of his ap
pearance as the candidate of peace
with -Mr. Hughes as the candidate of
action that would embroil the United
States in international strife. Mr
Hughes will insist that he is as strong
ly tor peace as is Mr. Wilson, but that
while his course would aisum thi.
cittion for the American people, that of
jir. vvuson nas lea to complications
which menace the future of the country.
ia soon as Mr. Hughes' speech is
delivered It will be examined with the
utmost care by the President and his
advisers. Kvery weak spot will be
sought and exposed. The President
himself will make no immediate
answer, ne win reserve his ammuni
tion for the speech of acceptance he
will deliver following the adjournment
of Congress. By that time he hopes
um an .american-Mexican commli
sion in session, develonlner an
ment for the settlement of all questions
jra connection with Mexico. If his de
sire should be realized he will h.. .hi..
to point to it as an accomplishment of
AominntMUon, obtained without
joun 10 uiooasneo.
Answer on Gcrarnr Ready.
So far as the questions with ..
many are concerned, he can dwell upon
iacv low, in response to his de
manas. Germany has abstained for
luomns rrom sinKlng passenger liners.
To secure an abandonment of inhumane
methods of warfare by neaceful ni.
tistion is far better, he will ararue. than

concerned. Germany's liability was
established by notes which hav
exchange), and it is but a question of
iime wnen compensation will be paid.
Republican managers are no- worry
ing, however, about Mr. Wllann'a t-.n1,.
They have been concerned at the delay
in starting the campaign, particularly
i nose acquainted with the feeling
throughout the country who have been
begging and pleading for action. They
have manifested deep concern over the
Jack of organisation (some have
termed it disorganization), holding that
if anything is to be accomplished
a strong candidate, as they ad
nut the President to be. there must be
LTuimc narmony.

was welcomed by them, and they hope
he will act likewise in other states
notably California. In the Golden Gate
Slate the Republican National commit
teeman nas oeen supporting the pri
mary candidacy of the opponent of
Governor Johnson, who is running for
ocnaie. governor Johnson is a
strong, virile man, with a devoted fol
lowing and. while four years ago he
was a leading Progressive, he fees re
turned to the Republican party.
California Harmony Sens-he.
Should the- present tactics of the
standpatters of California continue, no
one- doubts that that state, instead of
.a-oing for Hughes by 100.000. will east
its electoral vote for Wilso Th k..
lief prevails that Mr. Hughes has been
apprised or the situation and that
wnen ne is on the Pacific Slope he will
take steps to establish harmony.
With the appointment of David S.
Barry as director of publicity, the Re
publicans expect that from now on the
personality of their candidate and.their
views of the issues will appear more
widely in the public prints. Mr. Barry

the King" floated in and on this deep
wave broke the chimes of Big Ben. As
the first stroke of the hour boomed out
rustle of movement swept across the
room. The war telegram which means
"Commence hostilities" was flashed to
ships and establishments under the
white ensign all over the world.
Aye, commence hostilities at onco
against Germany; urge them: perse
vere in them; concentrate upon them;
repent not of them; pursue them to
the very end.
Certainly Great Britain's entry into
the war was workmanlike. Confronted
by the greatest military power in the
world and by a navy second only to
her own. she acted with Instant aeci
sion. Her great fleet disappeared into
the mists at one end of the island, her
small army hurried out of the country
at the other.
Army Plays Bis Part,
By these extraordinary strokes she
might well have appealed to the unln-
structed eye to divest herself of her
defenses, to lay herself open to the
greatest perils. Long stretches of her
eastern coasts, euarded only by unos
tentatious fl.otlllas an comparatively
untrained territorials, seemed almost
to invite attack. Yet both these acts had
been carefully conceived in time of
peace, and both were in harmony with
the highest strategic truth.
The "eoYitemDtible little army" reached
the western battlefield in time to play
what well misrht be judsed a decisive

trials of strength. The "Grand Fleet"

struggle deepens. Only she eats too
much, wastes too much and costs a lot
to keep. Withal the Great Amphibian
is faithful unto death. She is very
hard to get at in fact, since she first
learned to swim no one has ever caught
her. ,
The true characterir'.ie of all British
strategy lies in the use of this amphib
ious power. Not on the sea alone, but
on land and sea together not the fleet
alone, but the arm in hand with the
fleet. In this lies everything. In this
already once in this war decisive vic
tory has perhaps resided.
On the afternoon of July 26. 1914.
orders were issued to prevent ships of
the first fleet from dispersing, as
would otherwise have been done at
daylight on the 27th, and to recall such
as had started. At midnight the ships
of the second fleet were ordered to re
main at their home ports, in close
proximity to the balance of their crews.
On the 27th all the naval aircraft were
moved to vulnerable points on the east
coast, the second fleet completed an in
formal "stand by," telegrams were sent
to admirals abroad and far away at the
China station the battleship Triumph
began to clear for action.
Flotillas to' Fall S tread.
During the 27th and 38th the protect
ing flotillas along the east coast were
raised to their full strength. On the
night of the 29th the whole of the first
fleet, with auxiliary cruiser squadrons
and flotillas, passed the Strait of
Dover and gained their war station in
northern waters. On the same day an
official "warning telegram" of ap
proaching danger was issued. On the
30th the "precautionary period" began.
Naval harbors were cleared and modi
fied examination service was instituted.
On the Slst the immediate reserve was
mobilized and various reserve cruiser
squadrons came into being.
On August 1. shortly before midnight,
a general mobilization of the Navy was
ordered and the third fleet began to
eome to a war basis. This step was
approved by the Cabinet en Sunday, the
2d. and made regular by royal procla
mation next day. AH reservists had.
however, responded to the Admiralty
summons, and on August 3, when the
ultimatum was sent Tequiring Ger
manv to evacuate Belgium, the whole
process by which the naval power of
Great Britain is placed in readiness for
war was completed in all respects.
At a great war council held on the
afternoon of August 4, attended by the
principal naval and military person
area as well as Cabinet ministers di
rectlv concerned witn ine Admiralty, it
was agreed to dispatch Immediately
the whole regular army not four, but
six divisions, if necessary to the Con
tinent and to undertake their trans
portation and Ue security of the island
in their absence. This considerable un
dertaking was made good by the royal
navy.

of war from its northern throne has
ruled the seas ever since with a com
pleteness of control which even Trafal
gar had not secured.
It mav well be that history furnishes
no more remarkablo example of deter
mined adhesion by civil government to
sound principles of war as embodied in
carefully considered plans without re
gard to obvious risks and objections.
Had all our action been on this level.
how many months of danger, how many
lives and what treasure might not have
been saved!
British Command Sea.
From the first hour of war it was
evident that command of the sea and
all that followed from it rested with
Britain. Everywhere German merchant
vessels scurried to port. Everywhere
their cruisers hid themselves. Every
where their commerce raiders were
docked in neutral or enemy harbors.
But at any moment England s naval
strength might be challenged and if
at any moment, then surely the earliest
moment was most probable and even
pending battle the seas were lull or
dangers about which no experience ex
isted as a guide or measure. At any
moment and if at any moment, then
surely while it might delay the depar
ture of an expeditionary force a raid
or descent mi?ht be attempted upon
our coasts. Nevertheless, the army
must go to France, and at once. Sub
marines? Still it must go. The French
African army also must cross seas not
yet cleared. Never mind the bulk
would get there.
And then, from all over the world.
the Great Amphibian must draw her
children, her resources and her food.
Ten thousand keels were carrying on
trade and transportation, sailing boldly
over every sea, hundreds homeward
bound and hundreds outward bound
each day, on 1 per cent war insurance.
Submarine Menace to Britain.
The Australian and Canadian armies.
the Indian divisions for France, the
territorial divisions for India, regular
divisions, spread garrisons about the
world and a dozen minor enterprises
claimed transport and armed convoy,
For the enemy's cruisers were still at
large and hidden.
Reinforcements and supplies for the
army in France flowed in in an ever-
widening stream, in spite of the enemy
submarine, growing more daring and
more skillful every day. Then, as the
allied armies recoiled on Paris, land
communications by Havre were threat
ened.
Shift tho base to St. Naze Ire." It
s shifted accordingly. "Get ready
to shift further south still." It was
got ready accordingly. Better news

turned hift it back to Havre." Again
it was shifted accordingly.
Meanwhile there was not a moment's
interruption to the men and supplies
pouring out or th. wounded pouring
back. And all th. time Britain must
pen the second greatest naval power in
Its fortified harbors, guard the island
from all attack or be ready to fight the
supreme sea battle of all history at
four hours notice. She must keep on
being ready for years.
EBgUnd World's Armorer.
The Great Amphibian, going ashore,
must transform a large part of her
body. Armies of millions must be
raised one. two. three, four millions,
or more. She never thought of that
before. And. of course, it will take
some time, but they will want arms and
equipment. She never thought of that
before, elther-not even at the time
she thought of armies.
Never mind. Let us become the
world's armorer and arsenal. Trans
