Preparing for War

By L. L. C.

EVIDENCES are visible on every hand that our country is entering upon a new phase in her history. This country has in the past made practically no preparation for war. The present situation in the world, however, is such as to make it plain that this nation will not be able in the future to escape the calamities which war brings. Feeling that these calamities will be less if the nation is prepared for war, the statesmen of this country are urging that the efficiency of the army and navy be increased.
The New York Times of September 21 reported that Secretary Daniels is expecting to receive plans for a new submarine. On another page of the same paper, it was reported that the first of the navy's fleet of dirigible balloons is now practically completed. It is probable that the subject of national defense will be one of the most important questions considered at the next session of Congress. L. L. C.
