The Next War I
Outside Germany, the whole
world if asked about “the next
war," would answer as the
! some one asked
him for the core of his apple
Hut Germany, although it may
doubt the completeness of the
victory that it still expects, is
yet so confident that the result
will not tie its hands in the fu
ture that it is already discuss
ing “the nert war and laying
plans for conducting it "
Among other outgivings on
the subject there is none more
significant or illuminating than
an article that Herr Walter Ra
thenau, a directr in the Imperi
al Department for raw materi
als, published in a Berlin per
iodical a short time ago. In
that article Herr Rathenau ur
ges with great earnestness that
Germany must never again be
insufficiently prepared for war-1
That is of course an admission
that it was not sufficiently pre
pared in 1914. It was fully
prepared for the short war on
which it counted but not this
long drawn out contest. Herr
Rathenau would not have this
mistake made again.
His program is interestng. It
has three parts and if carried
out would be so thorough that
it would make the task of ^de
feating Germany even harder
than the world is now finding
■t
In the first place he would
accumulate and store vast
quantities of everything that
might be needed in waging a
long war- He would gather
and hold raw materials of every
sort for future use. That, of
| course, is a policy that Ger
many adopted long ago, but he
would carry it much farther.
Next, he would organize a
I statistical department to find
out exactly what the resources
and supplies of the empire are,
and where all the food and
other cofmodities are stored.
The two measures would sup
plement each other.
The third measure is a sys
tem of economic mobilizaton.
Every man in the country not
liable to military service would
be enrolled and assigned to
some specific place, and on the
outbreak of the war would go
at once to work, just as the
man in the military service goes
to his regimental headquart
ers.
The plan is not merely inter
esting as revealing the strength
of the German delusion that
Germany is yet to conquer the
world: it has a lesson for us
so plain that it hardly needs to
be pointed out. If Germany
cannot win this war, and yet is
to get out of it with hands still
free, it will be more militarist
and more militant than ever.
Its “next war” would be abso
lutely certain to include the
United States. To meet a Ger
many better prepared than ev
er requires us to be equally mil
iaristic: to bend our very souls
to the burden of taxation and
the yoke of drilling and train
ing and making ammunition
and building battleships and
aeroplanes—in short, to living
and thinking and dreaming
i
nothing but war.
Is it an attractive prospect?
Then let us resolve that it shall
never appear above our hori
zon. Let us make up our mind
that, come what will and cost
what it may we will see the
thing through NOW; and that
we will not withhold our hand
until we have crushed from the
very face of the earth the mili
taristic spirit that even in the
midst of the present world ag
ony is already planning “the
next war.”
YOUNG MEN WANTED
FOR THE U. S. NAVY
Secretly, American destroy
ers rushed across the ocean
and are now swatting German
submarines. As usual, the
Navy is first on the job. The
navy is self-cocking, self-prim
ing, and ever ready.
The ships of our Navy have
safely convoyed the thousands
of American soldiers now in
France. It is the Navy’s job to
convoy the many other thous
ands that will be sent over from
time to time and to keep the
▼ V ▼▼ wvv
| lanes of commerce open so that
food and supplies may go over
for our own men and those of
our allies. Without an effi
cient Navy these men and sup
plies could not go over.
Under the Stars and Stripes
American bluejackets are now
fighting to avenge the little
children of the Luistania and
their own mates of the Aztec
r.d the Vacuum.
The fight is on. The fight
for Democracy and the Free
dom of the Seas.
It is a fight and a service for
which men are needed.
What are you going to do
to help? Are you going to
stand by idly on the side-lines,
loafing around your town,
reading history in the newspa
pers? Or are you going to
pitch in yourself? Are you
going to help make history?
Are you going to be part of
your own show, and hold your
head high as a good American?
Of course you are going to
be a man. You are going to do
your bit. So that you can
square yourself with yourself,
so that your mother shall be ;
proud of you, and your sweet-'
heart look up to you.
Now, sea fighting is an ad
venture, and, as in the good old
days, the Navy goes pirate
hunting, but the corsair of to
day is the dastardly U-boat,
the murderer of American wo
men and children.
i
The navy calls you. Get in j
the game. Be in it at the fin
ish. Do your part now.
This is your counry, and if
this country of yours is worth
K ing in. it is worth fightng for.
It is not a question of tomor- j
row, or soon, but now. The1
Navy is in the thick of it this
minute. The decks are cleared
for action; the guns are man
ned. Where are you?
Also remember that while
you are serving your flag, your
country is also taking care of
yo In the Navy’s service you
are well paid. The lowest
rate of pay today is $32.50 a
month plus a liberal amount
of clothing and lodging and
subsistence. If you have a
trade that can be used in the
Navy, your pay will be much
higher- If you have no trade
the Navy will teach you one.
A Navy recruiting officer
will be in Newark December
24, when any young man be
tween the ages of 18 and 35
will be given an opportunity
to enlist. Call at the postoffice
and get a handsome booklet
telling you all about the Navy.
RAISE MORE HOGS
FOR MEAT SUPPLY
The United States Depart
ment of Agriculture says that
more meat is needed and need
ed quickly. The way to in
crease the meat supply of the
country is to raise more hogs.
The way to raise more hogs
quickly is to breed more sows
than usual and do it at once.
An increase of 15 per cent
in the number of hogs in the
country is asked for.
Hogs are profitable now. It
would seem good business pol
icy as well as patriotism to
raise more of them.
