summary:
  Another sortie was made by the garrison on the 8th of September, when the FOURTEENTH and Thirty-seventh Regiments advanced to attack the French; as the two corps passed the regiment of Joseph Colloredo, they were cheered by the Austrians, and they succeeded in repulsing the enemy: but no chance of final success remained, and the siege was raised, the FOURTEENTH Regiment marching by Furnes and Ypres, to Menin. At length a combined attack was made on the French positions, with the view of forcing them to evacuate Flanders, in which the FOURTEENTH Regiment had another opportunity of distinguishing itself; it left Tournay on the evening of the 16th of May,--took part in forcing the points of the French position it was destined to attack in the direction of Lisle, on the 17th of May, and was successful; but several Austrian columns failed to accomplish their part in the combined movements.

  The Army modifies their self-conceit; it teaches them that they are but as other men, needing to learn. Up to the passing of this law, bread-winners of a family had been exempt, but by it they were called on to serve, while the state pensioned their dependents during their period of service; the voluntariat, consisting of men who paid a certain amount to the state in order to serve for a period of one year only, was abolished--every citizen a soldier was made more of a reality than ever, for the nation realised that it must keep pace with the neighbour on the east, who was steadily increasing its military resources.

summary:
  There is very little doubt that the majority of the Japanese on the Pacific Coast are soldiers, veterans of the Japanese wars, and that in case of war Japan could mobilize on our territory between the Pacific Ocean and the inaccessible mountains constituting the Cascade and Sierra Nevada Ranges, more Japanese soldiers who are right now in that territory than we have United States troops in the whole mainland territory of the United States, or will have when our army is enlisted up to its full strength of 100,000 men. CHAPTER V ADAPTABILITY OF SYSTEM FOR NATIONAL DEFENSE 115 Swiss Military System ideal for Switzerland--Not adapted to United States as a whole--Reserve of wage earners impracticable--Their mobilization would cripple industry and cause privation for families--City clerks and factory workers lack physical stamina--A citizen soldiery needed of hardy men like founders of this nation--Anglo-Saxon stock is deteriorating in cities--Only remedy is Homecrofts for workingmen and their families--Otherwise Industry will destroy Humanity--Greatest danger to the City of New York is from within--Racial degeneracy is most serious menace--Patrician class warned against Roman System which resulted in Proscription and Confiscation--The spirit of Switzerland should sway the world--Inadequate Standing Army a serious danger--Invites attack against which it cannot defend--United States Standing Army gives no assurance of national safety. CHAPTER VI MENACE OF ASIATIC COMPETITION AND INVASION 135 Japanese influx into Hawaii and Pacific Coast States--Unexpected incident like blowing up of Maine might precipitate conflict--In that event peace advocates and governments might be powerless to prevent war--Japanese merit the good will of other nations--Reasons why they come to Pacific Coast--Japan is overpopulated--30,000,000 rural people on 12,500,000 acres--Population increasing 1,000,000 annually--More Japanese in California of military age than entire Army of United States--Japanese in South America and Mexico--United States must meet economic competition of Japan--Pacific Coast must be settled with Caucasian population that will cultivate the soil as Japanese would cultivate it if it were their country--Otherwise armed conflict with Japan inevitable.

  So long as the Dutch steeled their strength by unremitting conflict with the sea, so long as they fought for religious liberty against the Spanish supremacy, they were a nation of historical importance; now, when they live mainly for money-making and enjoyment, and lead a politically neutral existence, without great ambitions or great wars, their importance has sunk low, and will not rise again until they take a part in the struggle of the civilized nations. 2| -- | 1 ---------+--+-------+--+------+--+-----+--+-------+--+-------+----+----+--- Let us assume that in event of war England as well as France must leave a certain naval force in the Mediterranean, which need not be stronger than the combined Italian and Austrian fleets, but might be smaller, in event of a change in the grouping of the States; let us further assume that numerous cruisers will be detained at the extra-European stations--the fact, however, remains that England and France together can collect against Germany in the North Sea a fleet of battleships alone three times as strong as that of Germany, and will be supported by a vastly superior force of torpedo-vessels and submarines.

  During the whole of that afternoon, both while the negotiations were pending, and at other times, the American officers were unceasing in their endeavours to induce our soldiers to desert and join their army. An eagle, six pieces of cannon, the General of Division Ruffin, and the General of Brigade Rousseau, wounded and taken; the Chief of the Staff, General Bellegarde, and aide-de-camp of Marshal Victor, and the colonel of the 8th regiment, with many other officers killed, and several wounded and taken prisoners, the field covered with the dead bodies of the enemy, attest that my confidence in this division was nobly repaid.
