"The .f202, 000,000 which tho German people nre nsked to lay upon tlio allnr of their fatherland is n heavy premium upon insurance against war. It is to ndd approximately 100,000 men to the military wnll along the Russian fron tier. It it nverts war or makes wnr less likely the price the nation is pay ing for pence Is none too great. If war comes, despite these efforts It insures our full readiness; in either case the money will bo well invested." With these words Connt Ernest Reventlow, lending German military and naval expert and military-political writer nf international fame, ex plained toil ay the necessity for tho unprecedented military preparations in Germany. Times Orave for Germany. "I don't believe ns some do," he continued, "that we are on the brink of immediate war. Hnt the times are grave for Germany, situated at it la in Central Europe, with nations on either side imbued with a spirit, which if not held within bounds, bodes nn good for U9. "It ts "absurd to attribute .ttf&Tts sive motives to the Kaiser or the povernment. The Kaiser, by his twenty-five years of peacefnt reign n record no other European ruler can claim certainly has shown' the world that he is not the 'war lord. "Strange as it may neem, the move ment for strengthening the military effectiveness of Germany started with the feeling- of uneasiness and insecurity among the people, not with the government. This feeling hnB arisen out of tho Balkan war, the in ability of the powers to prevent that , wnr nnd the creation of new political conditions. "Gennnny is arming because of the growth of the Pan-Slavic spirit out of the Balkan victories, which mny givo rise to n Slav peril on the side, and is having the effect of rekindling1 in recent months tho old spirit of 'revenge' in Franco, on tho other side of us. "Germany has no designs upon France, nnd the French know this very well but tuko advantage of Ger many's military increases, made nec csary by tho new conditions, to ndd fuel to that spirit of revenge for 1870. Two things aru worth noting that the new president, Poinenre, refered to Alsace-Lorraine in hi first messnge, and that Delcasse wns appointed nmbnssniW to Russia. Germany must reckon with tho pos sibility that n union of the ever in creasing Pnn-Slnvio movement nnd tho French spirit of revenge may creato trouble. War Inevitable. "I repeat war is inevitable or nt hand. Rut is must bo remembered that Russin is said to hnvo close to 1,500,000 men under nrms, and be tween 700,000 and 800,000 within striking distance of Austria nnd Ger many. As Rismnrk snid, 'Under such conditions tho R""3 might B f themselves. Because of tho uncer tainty of tho future and what may develop, we must bo prepared for tho unexpected." Reventlow snid thai with the now increase Germany would havo nn nnny in timo of pence of approxi mately 850,000 men, rendy to tnke tho field nt n moment's notice; in timo of war tho tremendous forco of between 6,000,000 nnd 7,000,000. men. "I believe that tho decisive bnttleri will bo nuiokly fought in the noxk wnr," ndded the famous military critic. "With tho large number or troong constantly massed on both sidos of tho French and Russian frontiers, nil Btrategicul plans care fully worked out nnd wjlh tlia adop Hon of nerinl oraft for observation and 8001111111,', It doesn't seem likely that much timo will bo lost in sparring." i i t H j ( V 1 j&H f J V i; i'
