hearing Frederick Palmer lecture upon the war Mr newspaper correspondent who has seen more war than any A men can armonicer His name is known and respected in Europe Be was selected by British War above all other American cor respondents to go to the front of the front Not- a dozen inn have seen what he has seen He is absolutely proAlly in his opinions on this war He believes that the Allies will win in the course of the present year Yet what he has seen shows how near we were a year to losing all the land battles that are to he foughl He is a great believ er in preparedness and a series of articles he is contributing to he United States press shows how is for a nation be ready for war Mr Palmer says I hat Hie great sen sation of the war to date is artillery Of all the nations al war only the Germans knew bow large- a part artillery was let play in the Conflict They learned the lesson he flays in the RussoJapanese War But even the Germans bad no idea of the suc cesses that were to be achieved by Not even the Germans have had enough artillery though in the early days of- the war they had ten or twenty or even one hundred shells to hurl against one thrown by the Allies In Mr Palmers opin ion there seems to be no such thing as enough shells Modern artillery can blast any fori and town any position to pieces and nothing can blast artillery to pieces but more and heavier artillery In flii olupien passage he Irasls the preparedness of he Brit ish with the of the British army It hardly scorns possible that the of the British navy and the England that sent its army to that heroic retreat from France is one and the same country The fact that it is proves that successful war fare these days is not due to innate heroism of the people or their will ingness to give up life and money to having the machinery of war ready The British navy wanted nothing in the way of modern pre paration It led in all mechanical processes It had the latest guns the latest designs of ships Not a single of equipment Or a single tool for war was lacking Its ex perts had forseen t needs of naval war but the British army with out adequate or aeroplanes or antiaircraft guns The British navy vya an because the peo ple were ready pay cost and insisted on full The people didnl take the same interest in the army They thought he army would got on somehow and they let its demand wait Wasnt Tommy Atkins the bravest soldier in the world Wasnt he He woidd fake care of himself against any enemy For the British public in much Hie flamO way as ours vis ualized an army as soldiers carrying rifles and nothing else At and again on the and later in firs battle of- the Ger mans were tiring anywhere from three to en shells to one against the British who had to sit In heir trenches and lakh If they charg ed they mot the bulletsprays of machine guns while hey lacked machine guns to meet the German charges Again and yet again ar tillery and machine guns are you buy things you he pro duct of factories not of Iho and of the affection of home as men are England and France loo and all the Allies because hey lark ed guns paid he price of holding by the death of brothers and sons against shells In applying the lessons that the war has taught to ability of United to resist a forofgii foe Mr Palmer own country in the position of a aheap facing a wolf In Iho whole of- Iho United
