CONSIDERS STRATEGY OF THE - NATION
Much Remain to Be Don Md If
Oi ' la Ilaapoaalble for ,
Koeplns; Do -with tho '
Time. - v
lONDON, Sept. I. (Special Cablegram to
The Bee.) Lord Enher, chairman , of the
War office reorganisation committee. Issues
today a pamphlet on "National Strategy."
He observes that the strategy of the
British empire . baa vastly changed since
the annexation' of the Dutch republic and
the ratification of the alliance with Japan,
but there la no competent authority whose
business It la to study these changing con
ditions, in all their bearlnga.
Lord'.Esher says: "To Lord Salisbury
belongs the credit ef having appointed a
committee of the cabinet for the consid
eration 'of questions of national .defense.
Presided over, by the duke of Devonshire,
the committee met seldom and generally
for soma urgent question of the moment,
but from this evanescent creation there
waa evolved,, when Mr. Balfour became
prim minister, a very different body, with
wider alms and greater aptitude.
"For the first time in English history
v some attention was given by responsible
' statesmeu to national and Imperial strategy
involving not . only the military but the
naval .and Indian forces of the crown.
"In Mr. Balfour the country possessed
a minister with a mind sharpened by dia
lectics and a temper chastened by philo
sophies inquiry, who waa peculiarly fitted
for the task of sifting the often conflicting
opinion of military and naval experts.
His Judicial summaries and final decisions
are recorded In state papers of quit ex
traordinary Interest and value.
"These document form the earliest rec
ord of an attempt to deal systematically
.with questions affecting national strategy.
Recommendations Vabeede.
"For so pie years a colonial defense com
mittee and a Joint naval and military com
mute had constantly met to discuss the
defense of Isolated station within the
empire; but the power of Initiative waa1
. wanting In both bodies and many of their
recommendations passed unheeded. Their
purview waa not wide enough and their
functions were very properly limited.
' 'Th defense committee, on the other
hand, as now constituted, deals with the
largest problems and, having the prim
minister aa chairman, contain within Itself
the source of political and practical Ini
tiative. "air. Balfour has claimed the right to
vary Its component parts, for, Ilk the
first. Idea of the cabinet iUelf, time Is
required to enable this novel growth to take
root In the political institutions of the
country.
. "Btgn havo not been wanting of nttscon.
ceptlon and tealousy, eaally aroused and
with difficulty allayed. In th minds of
politician mistrustful of a novel political
arc, which they do not see their way to
control by campaigns on th platform or
In the press. ,
"The defense committee has been hitherto
In nam a committee of the cabinet. In
reality It haa been nothing of th kind.
While the prim minister has been the
chairman of it, and th secretary of state
for war and the first lord of the admiralty,
and occasionally other secretaries of state,
have been summoned to attend, its most
Important members have been th first
sea lord of th admiralty and the director
of - naval Intelligence, th commander-in-chief
and the director general of military
Intelligence, and recently th chief of the
general staff and director of military op
erations at th War office.
Committee la at Sea,
"Th principal members of th Indian
council were aummoned to ita deliberations
when questions affecting India were under
discussion, and on on occasion an eminent
colonist wa asked to be present.
"In order ' to realise th novelty of thl
procedure, and th change which has oc
curred, It la only necessary to not that
during th early sittings of th South
African war commission, when Sir William
Nicholson, then director general of military
Intelligence, was asked whether his assist
ance had ever been sought by th defens
committee, he not only replied In th nega
tive, but confessed complete Ignorance of
th procedure and almost th existence of
that mysterious body.
"That, within a few months, a commit
tee presided over by the prim minister,
constituted with th full knowledge and
regular assistance of th principal naval
and military 'authorities, should meet aa
often aa one a week for the systematio
dlsousslon of imperial questions of defense,
and should attempt to lay down principle
of Imperial and national strategy, and to
work out achemes for defensive and, if
necessary, for offensive, operations of war,
is a startling and welcome Innovation in
national methods of government
"So far Mr. Balfour's work, by far th
most Important and far-reaching act of his
administration, I admirable and full of
hopeful possibilities.

BERLIN. Sept. . (SDeclal Cablemm to

and ferocious brutality ' were brought to
light during th trial before courtmartial
at Ologau, In Silesia, of two noncommis

A recruit named Klemmt suTered espe
cially at th handa of Lux. Th tyrant one

Manly dignity and self-respect were sys
tematically crushed out of the soldiers by

WASHINGTON, Sept l.-John Barrett,
the American minister to Panama, has
made a special report to the State depart
ment relative to the- present and future
conditions on the Isthmus aa affected by
the building of the Panama- canal, which is
Intended to prevent sore disappointment on
the part of adventurous Americans at
tracted toward Panama by resumption of
th vast enterprise. It is understood that
the - Panama commission is especially d
sirous to secure the widest publicity of the
warning sent out by Mr. Barrett. The re
port in substance la as follows:
"No man seeking a position as clerk,
stenographer, typewriter, engineer, fore
man or any similar clasa should come to
the Isthmus in expectation of securing a
position unless he haa made some previous
arrangement for employment, or has auffi
clent funds to pay his expenses in Panama
and return to the United States if he finds
no opening. More men of this kind are
now coming to Panama and Colon than
there are positions to.be filled. The cost of
living is very high, prices havtng increaaed
nearly 800 per cent in the last six months,
and there la a great shortage of cheap and
wholesome lodging and board accommoda
tion.
"While Panama and Colon, as well aa
towns in the son and in th interior of
Panama, are sure to experience a consld
orable measure of material and industrial
progress through the excavation of ' the
canal, there are not at present many op
portunities for the establishment of new
mercantile, business and professional firms,
snd there should not be aa inrush of mer
chants, business and professional men in
the expectation of finding considerable and
ready openings for establishing themselves.
No Real Boon.
"It Is the concensus of opinion among
members of the commission and others who
have studied the situation that both Amer
icans in the United State and Panamans
here have greatly exaggerated th increase
of population, ' which will result for th
construction of the canal and of th num
ber of men-who will be employed by th
commission for the carrying on of th un
dertaking. Including those who will be em
ployed en th canal and other who will
com th Increase will be only 26, (WO peo
ple. This number, moreover, will not b
coming her all at once, but gradually
through a period of years and aa they may
be required. '
Ther is not yft any Teal boom in
Panama, In Colon or in the sone, but rents
for houses stores and offices have doubled
and .tripled during the lust few months
and are now almost exorbitantly high; In
fact, the Panama landlords are, some of
them, so unreasonable la their charge that
there Is danger oi their driving business
from Panama proper Into a neighboring
zone. ' i
"The disagreeable and unhealthy features
of the Panama climate have been ridicu
lously overstated by those who have atudled
the situation superficially while passing
across the Isthmus in transit or who desire
to create a sensation. As a matter of fact
there has not been, during the months of
July and August, a single uncomfortable
night for sleeping, while the average days
have not been hotter than thoae of New
Tork and Washington,
Little Serioas Illness.
"There has been hardly a single Instance
of serious illness among the considerable
number of young men who are here In
the employment of the canal, while the
percentage of sickness among the larger
group of laborers employed at Culebra Is
not greater than that upon similar excava.
ting work in the United States. There has
not been a single case of yellow fever for
over a month, and ther la less malaria
than is often found la sections of the
United States where ther la considerable
turning of the soli.
"My correctlpn of overdrawn criticisms
of the Panama climate must not, however,
be interpreted as meaning that ther are
not unfavorable featurea here. They exist
aa they do in all tropical lands and, of
course, the conditions of maintaining health
and enjoying life ar not, by any means, a
favorable aa those In the average tem.
perate climates. When the present able
sanitary corps, which has charge of Im
proving health condiUons In the Isthmus,
naa earned out Its plans for the lm
provement of the canal atrjp and of th
cities of Panama and Colon, there 1 no
reason why this Isthmus should not be on
of the healthiest places in th world."

MOVING PICTUREMAN IS BUSY
Get Photographs of American Girls
Chasing; n Foreign
, Title.
NEW TOPK. Sept. l.-Tombs are not or
dinarily selected as tryatlng places for love-
makers, but there was a lively episode of
ai sentimental nature yesterday morning
Just In front of the Grant mausoleum, In
Hlverslde. It was the result of the follow
ing advertisement in the New Tork Herdld:
"Young French nobleman, recently ar
rived, desires' to meet wealthy American
girl, object, matrimony; will be at Grant's
tomb at 10 o'clock thla mornig, wearing
bouttonnlere of ylolets."
No less than a dozen "wealthy American
girl" read it' and responded aa quickly as
trolley cars would permit." The "young
French nobleman, recently arrived," was
there be lore any of them, however, and
the identifying bouttonnlere, quite a pretty
lltti affair In itself, was with him.
By aoat curlou circumstance all tb
wealthy American girls arrived simultane
ously, and the sequel proved embarrassing
to his nobility. He tried to talk to them
all at once and they all did talk to him at
once, so that no definite conclusion had
been reached when he suddenly decided
that hla object wa not matrimony and
summarily fled.
The heiresses fled after him and one or
two succeeded In catching hold of his coat
tails. There Was excitement for a moment,
and a few of the spectators, while deplor
ing this passion for a tlUe, were thinking
about calling the police, when - a photo
graphlo outfit suddenly appeared In" the
offing, and everybody, French nobleman
and wealthy American girls, came to a
stop and assumed attitudes that looked
very much like a pose.
Then It was coyly confessed by various
persons In authority that the whole thing,
advertisement, nobleman, heiresses and all
the rest, was a "nut un Job" fnr
P'cture Arm, so that all Europe and even
Australia may soon be edified a to th
fashion In which the American girl runs
after the foreign nobleman, vm- k-
of the former, however, be It stated that
not one American girl was there except
those sent by the moving picture people.
