' decided to begin the work of railing $6008
?t5 endow a scholarship In the School 'ot
Journalism at the University of Texas to
fit some talented girl for the profession
of letters
This marks the passing of the old Idea
which too often allowed Ignorance and
effrontery the very Important work of
gathering the news df a community and
sets a pace that well might be followed by
other woman's organizations of the State.
The committee appointed to raise the
money Is composed of the following: Mrs.

EDISON
BE MADE IN VINCIBLE
By Edward Marshall
(From the New York Times).
Thomas A. EdlBon has been consider
ing the relations of Hie United States
to the European war and the possibilities
that we may some time be involved In a
great conflict. The great inventor is no
peace-at-any-price man. His career has
shown him to be a fighter. But he is
not a militarist.
He believes that we should be invinci
ble. . In the following Interview he for
the first time tells the world how he
thinks we may accompjish this without
so burdening ourselves with taxation as
to reduce our living standards and mo-
rale to the European level.
His plan for rendering us Invulnerable
to attack while at the same time pre-
serving us from high taxation Includes
the establishment of new West Points
and new Naval acadamles for the train-
ing of officers and a vast system of mili-
tary and naval education for the rank
inn file.
He would establish vast reserves of
stores and arms and ammunition and he
would count rather upon automobiles
than upon the railroads for quick trans-
Tn-rt a t nn
He would build many aeroplanes and
auhmarlnea. and he would construct
fleet of cruisers battleships and other
naval vessels mis is m iuui iww-
riinnrv DroDOsal to be kept in dry dock
practically in storage and fully up to
dats. until needed.
We discussed the matter while we
sat In the great library of his laboratory
at Orange.
"Several thing already have been
proved by the war" said: Mr. Edison.
"One. of course is that war itself fs In-
efficient But we knew that. Another
is that an 'efficiency' which submerges
the Individual is an inefficiency.
"As a lay student of the situation it
seems to me that the comparatively
untrained Englishman has had an ad-
vantage from the start Just because he
has been untrained. This is a striking
thing with a big lesson In it. for the
English soldier I believe may be regard-
ed upon the whole -as the physical in-
ferior of the German soldier. Too much
military training not only availed Ger-
many nothing but actually proved to be
her handicap.
"Germany was ready for war after the
old Idea of readiness but her army never
got to Parts. She was overready. She
was so. overready that she was nervous.
Her trigger-fingers became Jumpy. It
was an attack of hysteria due to over-
readtness which plunged "Europe Into
war.
"Another thing which has been proved
Is that no engine of destruction or de-
fense can be so effective that the in-
genuity of desperate men can not devise
something which will offset it. Ger-
many's new field guns the secret of
which had been so carefully kept were
the Jiensatlon of the first weeks of the
war yet France matched them before it
waa too late.
"In the unavoidable Interpretation
Which one most place upon these facts is
another reassurance for America. We
are as clever at mechanics whether tey
be those of war or those of peace as any
people of the world 'e gme the world
the Ironclad war vessel as the result of
one emergency. We gave the world the
submarine. Our. Wright brothers per-
fected the aeroplane.
"If any foreign power should seriously
consider an attack upon' this country a
hundred men of special training quickly
would be at work here upon new means
of repelling the Invaders. I would be at
It myself. There would be no lack of
the spirit of determination or the plrlt
of self-sacrifice. Of these two qualities
was the 'spirit of '76' made up. It Is
still latent here.
"I believe that the developments of the
European war have proved beyond the
shadow of a doubt the uselessness of
large standing armies. The best work
which has been done has been that of
the English and French volunteers a'nd
the German landiturm.
"It has been a war 'of trench fighting.
What does all the elaborate training of
maneuvers count In trench work? And
what does the fact that It counts little
mean? Certainly the world has wasted
a vast amount of money in unnecessary
military drill and useless fortifications.
I can not understand the situation In any
other way.
"I do not wish any of these state-
ments to lead readers te believe that I
would have my country neglect to real-
ise the- necessity of being able to defend
itself. I merely wish to call attention to
the lessons which the European war
seetna to me to teach.
"I consider It a reasonable certainty
that some day we shall have a war; and
I consider It a probability that when that
day cornea we shall find ourselves un-
prepared to meet It I believe U to be
the duty ef every American patriot to
de What he can to see that this doea not
occur hut I do not believe that the
events ef recent months In Kurope have
shown -their method of prepartton to be
the right one.
"Always we have done new things or
done old things In a new wav. and fr.

SAYS
Avar really has provoked war. We should
evolve a plan of readiness for war which
would not do that but which none the
less would worthily protect us.
"We should not take our men from
Industry and Overtrain them. but we
should have 2000000 rifles ready in per-
fect order even greased with armories
Equipped with the very best machinery
to begin upon short notice in case the
work should be required the manufacture
of a hundred thousand new firearms
every day.
"We should not only have upon hand a
large surplus stock of the best ammuni-
tion but we should have government
factories equipped to produce a thousand
tons of high explosive in a month if need
"We should have a thousand trenching
engines ready and should be prepared
with every other mechanical device for
rapid defense. Of these things I am cer-
tain. "But I do not in the least agree with
the advocates of a great standing army
or even of a great military reserve. I be-
lieve that all other details having been
looked after we shall be quite safe if we
maintain as now is authorized an army
of sav. 100000 men.
"With as many men as that with which
to meet the first shock of an emergency I
believe that we could confidently coupt on
volunteers to meet what might come
later.
"We should organise our State militia
upon really efficient lines. It Is my be-
lief that It should be under national not
State control. The men who train it
whether their selection be left with the
States or be the business of the national
government should be chosen with as
much care as. that with which I select
men for important tasks In my labora-
tory. "The development of such a method
quickly would discover' for us. In addi-
tion to our standing army at least 26000
men especially equipped by natural abil-
ity and taste to achieve military effi-
ciency and these would be drill ser-
geants competent to Instruct quickly a
vast number of soldiers In time of emer-
gency. "I have suggested 25000 drill ser-
geants. We would be doing better if we
had 40000.
"What we want Is a small army
trained to a big knowledge and trained
to teach It as well as to exercise It.
Haw material for training is at hand.
We have many millions of potential
fighting men.
"We iiever must become a military
nation in the old sense of the term but
I believe It possible that we may become
one of the greatest of the military na-
tions without burdening ourselves with
jny comparatively great -permanent
military expense. Modern warfare is
more a matter of machines than of men.
Most of the machines are-simple matters
if we compare them to the machines of
industry.
"If we had machinery at hand with
which to equip a million men we could
find the million men upon 24 hours'
notice. There is practically no military
sentiment In the United States nor ever
has been but we have proved ourselves
to be among the world's most powarful
fighters whenever we have had to fight.
"What is true of our necessities for
machinery Is true also of our necessities
for a great supply of field piece's large
cannon and ammunition. We should have
a large number of small factories
equipped and with the raw material at
hand In quantities but so stored as tfl
avoid deterioration ready to make the
latest and most powerful explosives. We
should have arsenals with an enormous
capacity for tlie manufacture of large
guns and their facilities should be kept
strictly up to date; we should havs accu-
rate knowledge of all shops and factories
equipped to manufacture tools for de-
fense aeroplanes and all manner of ac-
coutrements. We should have contracts
with the owners permitting the com-
mandeering of all such shops in case of
war and at a given price for their use
and this should be true of all Instru-
mentalities needed In case of war and
instantly operated.
"We need not keep men employed In
these shops out of more productive work
In times of peace In order that they may
be ready to give service Is a war shiuld
come.
"We should carefully consider trans-
portation In Its chanjred condition. The
efficiency of the railroad is not now a
matter of such vital moment for us as a
means of moving troops although of
course the railroads must remain for
many years the chief means by which
heavy artillery and supplies will be
moved. '
"The motor car is more flexible than
the railroad and our roads are reaching
such a stage of betterment that autjmo-
blles could be generally utilised for mov-
ing men.
"Of course. In ease of war troops
would be needed oa the coasts. Less
than 6 per cent of our country would
need defense. All our war would be
there.
"The greater part' of She transports-
tlon to the Eastern coast could be more
efficiently done by automobile.
"I do not believe we would Mck trans-
port If we organised an emergency sys-
tem by means of which our vast number
of privately owned motor ears Sould he
commandeered In case . war raWe. It
would be easy to rommandarirO.00

UNITED STATES CAN
willing to suggest parsimony in expendi-
ture upon coast and harbor defense. We
should have more guns than we have
now at all our harbors and they should
be better guns of longer range than any
ship can carry.
"That ought not to be a difficult prob-
lem to work out when It is considered
that the harbor defense buiis would be
mounted upon solid foundatiorfs while
ships' guns must be mounted upon plat-
forms of a limited carrying capacity.
"I advocate not only the construction
of an enormous number of submarines
as I have suggested to he held in read-
iness for operations not to be kept in
commission but our manufacture at
once of a vast supply of harbor defense
mines and the construction of many ves-
sels properly equipped to plant them
hurriedly in case of an emergency.
"In trench fighting with our unlim-
ited supply of the most Intelligent and
independently thinking Individual fight-
ers in the world we would be Invincible.
In case we were attacked we could set
our theater of defense to suit ourselves
planning (these figures are wholly ten-
tative) 50 lines of trenches.
"The first line or even the first two
or three lines would be dug as practically
all those In this European war have been
dug by individual soldiers with picks and
shovels but lines to the rear of them
could be dug (and this Is one of the
emergencies for which we should pre-
pare) by trenching machines. We have
developed this line of machinery to a
state of very high perfection and to
adapt the existing machinery to the pur-
poses of military trenching would be a
very simple matter.
"With 50 or more lines of trenches thus
quickly perfectly and very cheaply pre-
pared we could easily defeat even de-
stroy any attacking force which the
enemy might land from his ships.
"He probubly would be able tq take
some of our first lines of trenches but It
is Inconceivable that he could have any
men left with which to fight after he
had reached for. instance (to Select a
numeral at rancTom) our twenty-fifth
line.

their maintenance may be considered the
most important lesson which the Euro-
pean war so far has held for us the
value of the simple inexpensive trench
Is next in importance to us.
"Europe has been conducting a vast
and terribly costly exDerlment for our
benefit. She has shown us that In SO
days we can organize a more effective
army than the Germans have been able
to put into the field If we follow with
the rank and file the plan of preparation
which I have suggested giving the men
the rudiments of training and then re-
turning them to industry.
"She has shown us that we need
trained officers. We should immensely
lncreane facilities for training them even
to the establishment of many schools as
efficient as. West Point.
"But these men too should be re-
turned to civil life after they have had
their training with annual periods of
additional study to keep them up to date.
They should not be taken permanently
from productive and thrust Into unpro-
ductive effort. They should be kept
alive alert abreast of everything worth
while; we should make splendid all-
around citizens of them fit for unusual
usefulness in civil as well as in military
effort .
"I think we never should let up on
training men for the navy. We should
have the greatest number of trained
naval sailors that any nation ever has
had but we should not let them eat their
heads off after they have' got their train-
ing. .
"We should greatly Increase our num-
ber of competent naval officers but we
should not make the work of most of them
a life career. Like the officers we train
for military Service our naval officers
should be developed to the top notch of
efficiency and then sent back to private
life upon part salaries and required to
keep up with new developments and be
ready for a call if one should come.
"I believe that we should have a naw
larger than our present fleet probably
much larger but I do not believe that
the additional ships should be kept in
commission.
"I should not in the least object to
the payment of my share of the tax
which would be necessary for the con-
struction of a dozen dreadnaughta or for
that matter of two dozen dreadnaughta
but I should strenuously object to the
payment of a tax for the support of all
of them manned and In commission dur-
ing days of peace.

PLAN FOR PREPAREDNESS
BURDEN OF TAXATION
launched and tested and then like the
arms and ammunition it should be stored
till the day of need came. Enough ves-
sels of the most approved type should be
kept in commission to be used as train-
ing ships and enough men should be
trained so that we would have no diffi-
culty in finding competent crews for all
