Boston, Dec. 28. Prepare for war, and there Will be no'war. This was the theme of an address made this afternoon by-Colonel Roosevelt to the American Historical association, in the Cadet ar mory." , The Colonel argued that the United StateS could -not afford to sit back and dream of international peace, with the "warlike European nations ready and apt for war." He argued that the Unit ed States, in 1812, had made the mistake of being unprepared, and that disaster for a time stared this country In the face." means that for each of the S 12 days of the year ; that it -was in operation it burned an average of a fraction more than- 13S tons of garbage. Reduced to pounds-270,000 1 of ; them the figures are even more Impressive. Moreover, this showing vt has been made, K should be remembered, with an incinerator that was constructed to burn 100 tons a day, with an outside maximum of 150 tons a day. The out side maximum in a plant or this nature may be compared with the maximum speed, for instance, of a battleship de signed to make when forced to do it, 2fi miles an hour.; ; The- 26 mile speed may be kept up for a few hours or days at a time, but it -continued Indefinitely there is sure to be disaster. " Before long the machinery, If .not the ship it self, has been racked to pieces. That, to aum It up, is precisely the situation which now confronts the mti nlclpal incinerator, . and because sani tary disposal of garbage .
