I They all recall what their former respective countries have done for us and are not careful enough in giving their opinions of what our country should do now. Such people forget that the first instinct of nations, as well as Indi viduals, is the instinct of self-preservation, and that when the war is over all the belligerents in Europe will need our country's friendship more than they ever did before. We are under obligations to them all; all of them owe us something. To begin with our country was or iginally mostly settled by Immigrants from Great Britain. They stamped upon this land the English language and all that is best in English law and literature and the reverence for law and the love of home which are among the strongest attributes of Englishmen. By these both the Puritans in the north and the Cavaliers in the south though widely different in other re spects, were united. Eut the ideas that prevailed of the duties of colonies toward their for eign sovereign were much the same that Spain clung to up to the very hour when it became necessary to break her hold upon all her island colonies, because of the cruelties that she permitted her agents to perpe trate, until eternal justice demanded their surcease. So England heaped oppressions up on her American colonies, and de spite the warnings of Barke and Fox and Chatham, persisted until the re volt came and' the seven year's war. Her attitude was that of anger and contempt. She hired mercenaries to come and fight her battles, on the frontier she engaged savages to rav age the settlements. When the frail entrenchments were thrown up on Breed's (Bunker) Hill, which might have easily been made untenable by a warship in the harbor without loss. Lord Howe, un der Sir Henry Clinton then in com mand in Boston, in contempt of the foe, formed his army in solid column ana oraerea mem to drive the rag- muihns out, which cost them the lives of 1,500 soldiers and some of his most valued officers. That war won for this country in dependence, but it also taught Eng land a lesson on the treatment of col onies which has enabled her to retain her hold on Canada, Australia, India and South Africa and which makes her supreme in Egypt now. In those years France was our friend. Lafayette and others came and joined our army; France sent the fleet and loaned the money which finally closed the war In triumbh for us. That, surely, we never can cease to be grateful for, even if behind the French government's acts there was as much hate of England as love for the colonies. At that time there was no United Germany, Prussia was the ruling kingdom and Frederick the Great was at the zenith of his great fame. When the great war of the revolu tion came and an army was sum moned, the volunteers had no more Idea of the need of having an army disciplined than the average cong ressman now has. They were ready to fight, certainly, but "their idea of liberty was that their oliicers were not better than themselves and had no inherent right to command them. Hence the army that gathered under Washington were little better than a mob, and never accepted the truth, that to become efficient, armies must accept the rules of a perfect imper ialism and submit to orders. In half despair Washington sent to he great Frederick for help. A few days after the message was received Baron Steuben, one of the king's fav- jnte oflicors, resigned from the Prus sian army and with a letter from his king sailed for America and report- d on hiii arrival to Washington. Steuben began at once to put the continental army in army form. By Ins skill, his firmness and high char acter he was able to make the ragged armv understand what :v needed. In brief time it understood what was needed to make it really effective- and from that moment there began to be ifts of sunlight throught the pall Jiat had so long shadowed tho land. So much, for early history. There was not much change in national bought until after the war of 1812. Napoleon had sold Louisiana fo the United States for a pittance but he did is because he could not hold it against Great Britain and his comfort was that on that soil a power would expand that would finally rival Great Britain In every way. By the way it was a German, Al bert Gallatin, who was Jefferson's closest advisor then and as secretary of the treasury helped so much to continue Hamilton's work and get the finances of the nation in order. In the meantime a large immigra tion poured in from England and Scotland and more especially Ireland and every Irishman was at heart an American when he embarked for I this country. After the Napoleon wars ceased, the Germans began to come in great er and greater numbers until at last they exceeded all others. In the Mexican war the Irish and Germans, under our flag were es pecially conspicuous. Then came our great war o the rebellion and when the life of the na tion was hanging in the balance, the lust for conquest seized upon Napol eon 111 and the commercialism of Great Britain as manifested through i armies show the distince nationallt- her ruling classes and great manu-1 ies, but if in one way they were "dls facturers, had full sway. tlnct as waves they were united as Both countries with unseemly i the sea." haste acknowledged the confederacy Around every bulletin board we as a belligerent power; the attitude see this divergence of nationalities of both countries was rude bordering but all united as to our country, on insult, England built privateers, i When the war in Europe closes armed and manned them and sup- then, if not before, our test will come, plied them to southern naval officers Were Germany to conquer with her to prey upon the commerce of the armies and save her fleet, she would United States; she had just adopted be hard to get along with. the American invention of the coin pound marine engine, her merchants built scores of fast ships to run be- Bennudas and our south- hipping from England cargoes for them to the Bermudas. and never ceased until our minister to Great Britain, Charles Francis Adams, informed Lord John Russell, that if a certain ship then Hearing completion was permitted to sail, it would be held as an act of w ar by our country. In the meantime most Eng lish statesmen including Mr. Glad stone, had declared in favor of inter vention for the South, so had many of her clergymen; our minister, Mr. Adams, was treated with a rudeness bordering on insult, and Henry Ward Beecher, assaying to lecture in Eng land, was assailed by hooting and cat-calls for half an hour until by sheer force of his intellect and mag netism bullied the crowd into silence and then charmed them into wild cheering by his eloquence. But when Lord John Russell and Lord Palmerston decided to quit, two things had happened. Ericsson had built the Monitor which in Hampton Roads served notice on both Great Britain and France that their navies i would be but paper ships in the event of war. That was one thing. The other was that when Napoleon III in vited Russia to join with France and Great Britain in intervention in fa vor of the confederacy, Russia's pre mier, Gortchakof, replied in a short and sharp note declining and adding that if such intervention was attemp ted, Russia would construe it as an act of war. Then as soon as word could be sent to the admirals of the Russian navy in the Atlautic and Pacific, her At lantic fleet swung into New York har bor, her Pacific fleet into San Fran cisco harbor and remained there many weeks until all danger of in tervention had passed. It was under stood then and has never been au- thoritively denied that both admirals had instructions to report to our gov ernmeni ror auty. After the war closed Secretary Seward began nego tiations for the purchase of Alaska. It was not considered of very much value und when the deal was closed the people of this country who did not know any better referred to it as "Seward's folly." Thev have changed their minds since and so perhaps has Russia. There were two singular features about that sale. One was that Russia sold for where did she ever before sell a great tract of land? The other was the price paid $7,240,000. If we believe what was often stated at the time, that the $7, 000,000 was to reimburse Russia for what she had done for us and that the $240,000 was to pay her for what she had spent for coal in serving us, neither proposition seems out of rea son. But really the service she per formed for us could never be paid for In money and our gratitude to her should be an annuity drawing inter est forever. But while what the aristocracy, the manufacturers, the great merchants and ship companies of Great Britain did in that war to destroy our ship ping wnich was of greater tonnage than that of Great Britain when the war began, and what they did to rend our country itself into fragments, will always be remembered, we should not forget that England's great queen, her prince consort, a few of her statesmen and the poor employees who by tens of thousands were made to suffer semi-starvation because of the war; were true from the first to last in their determina tion that there must be no clash with our country, no perpetuation of sla very through their country's help. But it was with bad grace that the others relinquished their plan. Na poleon III did not dare intervene alone, but he sent an army to back the Austrian prince who dreamed of being sovereign of Mexico, and when the Kearsarge ran the Alabama to bay, and her commander, at last forced to fight, went out from Cher burg harbor to engage the Union ship all the shore around Chorburg was lined by thousands eager to see the English-built ship, armed with Eng lish guns and manned by volunteers from the Britain naval reserve, sink the Kearsarge, and when the result was not quite as expected, an Eng lish yacht was at hand to rescue the American commander of the British built ship and carry him away to England. In our war with Spain, all the sym pathies of France and Germany were with Spain, and their newspapers pic tured with glee how Cervera's fleet would sweep the paper warshins of the United States from the sou. But then Great Britain was our friend and the service rendered Arimirnl Dewey in Manila bay perhaps saved our country from a war with Ger many. At that time a distinguished German in this country made a re mark which was most significant. When asked why Germany was so ur gent In building a great navy, he re plied: "One of these days she will come over and poke a large hole In your Monroe doctrine." The foregoing only shows that na tions are governed at least all but our own by their own Internet when an emergency comes. It Is clear, too, why we cannot afford to take sides in the present European conflict. In our great war our foremost commander in the North was of Scotch-Irish descent, the second was Puritan descent; the foremost of the Southern side came down from the Cavaliers; while in Sheridan on the North and Cleburne at the South there was not a drop of blood in eith er one that was not Irish. Then there were Sigel and Schurtz and Os terhaus and Bcores more of officers and regiments, divisions and corps of unmixed German soldiers. The names on the rolls of all those Were the Allies to win, we would have much cause to be apprehen sive, tor Japan would be saucy, ag gressive una ireacnerous. oacKed as she would be by Great Britain and Ur.ssia. if there is any lesson m it ail to our country it Is to be pre pared w hile waiting for what it is to be.
