LONDON. Dec. 1 Tho next war will !

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

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;

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. A student ot mllllarv

you 6000 miles at sea rather than herself.
80 you might as well make up your minds
to nn expeditionary war nnd must avoid
some of our Rhnstly delnys. 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).
