I1KRLIN, April 3. "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."
