Dec. 1 Tho next war will ! one Iri which tho United States 'will take a part. That part will correspond In detail to the part played by Kngland In this war. It will be a combination of naval power nnd an expeditionary force. The enemy will bo Japan, probably, possibly Oermany. Tho United Htates can propnre for or avoid this war by, two method; both difficult. Tho first Is an alliance, either with the whola world or with certain Huropean nations. Tho second Is by studying the mistakes and the difficulties of England and avoiding them through mental preparedness. Tho alou Is not necessarily fact. It Is only the concentrated evtence ot what thinking Hnglnnd believes If you could get, say, COD representative Englishmen who are Interested In the United States to throw their Ideas Into a melting pot nnd then drain It off, the prophecies quoted above would bo tho result. Nearly every Intelligent man and woman of Great Britain Is thinking about the world's peaco, and nlno out of every ten Liberals nre friendly to tho United States and fenrfilt of her future Hut tho warning of war to come Ih not limited to Liberals, nor to careful students ot International politics. Lery ono knows, with absolute confidence, that tho United States will be caught In the next war, nnd caught badly Of course, there aro many who feel that way because they rather look forward to the mad ap peals which the United States will makev for llrltlsh help, and they fancy themselves In tho generous attitude ot forgiving and forgetting what wo have done or havo failed to do In this war. Hut the people who think serloualy ot keeping the world together after the war are worried about tho United States. After halng Japan thrown In my teeth every day for month I naked for a little explanation. The man Lasked Is the editor ot a magaxlne devotedfb tho llrltlsh em pire and "humanity first." -Ho had asked mo If tho people of the Paclfla coast really expected to be ravnged as Ilelglum was, and I told him that from ull I could gather it was the people of England who expected to eeo that happen. This Is his answer; "f Mtim.nit,. fiotnn nf thn nivinln wliti tntlr you about America and tho next war nro a little war.nad, Of course, the con 'ijuest of America is utter nonsense. You aro going to como into conlllct with a power which I setting out to be the center of tha Far ICaat. You have declared a Monroe Doctrine which I heartily hope you wilt scrap at eoon us you can for your own good. Japan la gradually preparing to Is sue nnd to maintain another Monroe Doctrine for the Pacific Kor the next half century you and Japan will bo the only capable Powers. Th only force against Japan outside of the United States Is Itussla, now her ally In th Far East. It Is not necessary to consider the possibility of a further alliance between them and Oer many, t "You will have against your policy of tha open door In China the policy of the closed door which Japan will Insist on. She will deelar bar will law In the Pacific As soon as you stand In her way aggres sion will begin. You are a paainu nation, but there are some things you will not stand. Then, If you are not In nlllanc over here, you will have to fight a lonely and a dangerous war. That Is what we mean by the Japanese peril. You may aggravate It by exclusion acts or minimise It by clever diplomacy But when a nation set put to expand Just a Prussia did forty years ago -there Is trouble ahead for the Innocent bystander- The clash will be on a matter of policy a surely as It was a matter ot policy between Kngland and Oermany. For centuries England has refused to see any one nation dominate Europe, because It Isn't a good thing. She has never tried to dominate Europe herself. The question Is how far the world, and the United States, wll allow any one nation to coptrsl the whole of the paclfla" Ex-Judge Gary's speech has made little Impression here, largely because tha same thing were said by Viscount Haldano about Oermany In 1IU. No one believes that friendly relations between countries merely come Into existence. They find through bitter experience that friendship cannot be taken for granted, but has to be won by something positive. They do not be lieve In Kngland that the United States js cultivating Jta own garden carefully enough. So serloualy I the Japanese question taken here that the beat defense of the United State I frequently talked about. Jf there Is to be no League ot Peaoe. 'then the United States must do some very eaergetle preparing.

The great thing Is to develop n cn-operatlng staff, a general staff which will Include naval officers who have been through tho nrmy college and army officers who' have been through tho naval academics nnd the higher schools. Tho nrmy and navy must each know what tho other can do and they must work to gether. You won't bo nblo io waeto time between conflicting Jurisdictions, like n trades union dispute. You will not want to mesa the air service bot.weon three dif ferent department. Itcmember that In our great successful war we won because a layman was able to compel both army and navy to work under him that was Pitt "Nowndays, vo aro faced with the de plorablo lock of another Pitt, so we must Insist that tho two services work nlvrays together. And you over thero havo the great chanco because you nren't eo hide bound with your military or naval tradi tions. You might win your war tho day you started If you had a Joint staff. I hopo it won't como to that, I think It will And Ood help you; It will ba a bad business at beat." It sounded essentially right to a non military mind. Hut the most cheering thing about It was the Interest In America which Is displayed That Interest grows deeper -mid moro sympathetic among Intelligent people every day. Tho United States will certainly carry tome moral support In Its next war ' SOCIALIST VOTE IN OHIO Most ot tho reasons for the political upset In Ohio have been fully discussed In the press. There is one reason, howav'er, which baa escaped tha attention It deserves on account of the delay In ehowing the complete presidential vote In this State. Elghty-nlno thousand nine hundred and thirty cltlsenn ot Ohio voted for Debs, Socialist, In 1912. That was a larger Socialist vote than was cast tn any other State In the Union. During this year's campaign moro than one Ohio Republican, recognising tho obvious Socialist drift to Wilson, looked back to tha big Socialist voto ot 1012 with apprehension. It now appears that this fear was well grounded. Figures covering thasTtoclalUt voto for President In Ohio In 1010 are not vet available. The Socialist vote for State officers has been announced, however, and shows an average ot about 37,000. We presume that the Socialist presidential vote was no larger. ' In other words, there appears to have been a shrinkage In the Socialist vote In Ohio In 1916, as compared with 1912, of at lenat 60,000. There Is no doubt that these (0,000 votea went almost solidly to Wilson and constituted' an Important factor In producing hla 89,(08 plurality, Cincinnati Timea-Star (llepubllcan). AS HAPPY AS KINGS Of course we should alt be as happy aa kings, and, considering what kings are up against, perhaps wo are. Atchison Globe.
