The Seaforth News, 1927-09-15, Page 3Changing Times Changing Methods New Orientation of the British View of the . "Danger Spot" According to ,the Heralds Tribune's dispatches from London the ]3ritish government is actively debating the proposal to transfer the main. "strik- ing force" of the British Army from England to ndia: There are reports of the Russians massing their divi- sions acroee the northwest frontier and flinging a strategic railway into Afghanistan. The feeling which has been strong in Europe ever since the Anglo -Russian break that Russia con -I etitutee the most unstable element in present world polities appears to be growing, and the alert are picking tap new hints of war, Itis believed that >t lthe British government is proposing to'recluce the Indian army—the farce of native and British troops under. �• control of the Viceroy which at pres- ent garrisons the country—and create in India a powerfully equipped force of British and even dominion troops under direct control of the War Office at London .as the principal defensive effort of the British Empire. If this belief is correct it need not, of course, mean that a war between Russia and Great Britain over the Afghan frontier is about to take -.4 place. But it would be interesting as one more exampleofhow the old strategic lines are changing. Shortly after 1900 the British government called horn its warships to the North Sea and settled down to the naval competition with Germany which was to end in the World War. Through those years it was no longer a ques- tion of pushing the Empire upon its uiroders, but of defending it at its eery centre. The next war would be across the North Sea and the army n ould fight in Flanders if not upon Nome territory. But after Versailles She wheel turned again. The British battle fleet was based in the Mediter- ranean, for the German menace was gone. The naval base was built at Singapore and now if the Empire be regarded as a whole in the changed world of to -day it might easily seem logical' to concentrate its military de- fence in India, close to Turkey and the Near East, close to Mesopotamia and oil, close to China and Australia. Tho "Shanghai defence force," which had to be started so long before any actual need for it was proved, because it took so, long to get from Southamp- ton to the Yangtze, must have given British strategists a good deal to think of. „ - Consequently, d transfer of the Ali British army to India might not mean war with Russia any more than the -... transfer of our battle fleet to the Pa- cific meant war with Japan. But it would show where the new interests lie. The "armed camp" psychology is passing from western Europe; at home the new Air Force is promising. to protect England from invasion (and perhaps by that very fact laying more emphasis on the possibility of invasion than conditions would war rant), but Flanders is not now the indicated battlefield. For the time be. ing the clash of interests is heard at greater distances and Europe drifts back again toward the days when Mr, Fipling was discussing the bear that walked like a man, when amateur statesmen described a world war about to take place in Manchuria, or chancellories buzzed as a youthful Emperor took an interest, in the mur- der of a couple of his missionaries in the Shangtung Peninsula. Automatic Broadcaster to Aid Fog -Bound Ships An aid to ships at sea in heavy fog has been patented by Elmer Sperry of Brooklyn. The apparatus, which is Called a "Special Device for Prevent- ing Collisions at Sea in Fog," broad casts the slip's coulee, its speed and its call letters and is operated inde- pendently of the ship's regular radio equipment, , Tho apparatus consists of a specially constructed broadcasting set with one element automatically taking the course readings from the gyro com- pass with a separate drum recording and transmitting the speed. This is set manually and adjusted to the speed of the ship as occasion demands. The call letters are sent out automatically. The device is operated on a short wave to prevent its interfering with the regular radio equipment, It has a -sending range of from ten to fifteen miles and its primary purpose is for use in heavy fogs. It is claimed that it might also prove of some value ie cases of distress bet that this, due to igir its short sending range, war, of eoc- ondary importance. Mr, Sperry, it was said, made ap- plication for the patent 10 1023 and l), the patent was granted by the Patent Office about ten flays ago. At too of- fices of the Sperry company it leas reported that the simplicity of its operation, which is entirely automatic, excepting for the drum recording and transmitting the ship's speed, and its broadcast range of about fifteen miles, would make 'ie a valuable `asset to ships at sea during heavy fogs, It was point%) out that at the present time the meeting qualitj'es cf fog drown ships' whistles within a short radius of their courses, making it inn Partitive that speed be reduced to a minimum In order to avoid disastrous. collisiore., L-LAFFS GIRLHOOD DANGERS Come Through a Weakening of the Blood --A Tonic isi Needed.

Toronto, Montreal—Too great a tendency erists in Canada to copy what is done in the United States, said Professor Stephen Leacock of McGill University In addressing tile party of visiting Britisb journalists touring Canada.

"There are some false theories held in regard to immigration," said Pro- fessor Leacock, "The United States, wbioh we are so much inclined to copy, has got hold of a set of ideas about immigration which may suit that country but does not suit us. There is too great a tendency in this coun- try to ocpy what is done by the American republic regardless of the feet that their industrialsystem is older then ours and their population a dozen times greater, while their ideas are Very often mistaken.
