London Globe, Ag. 12. (We republish the following translation of a memorandum en- titled ""Operationenuber See," writ: ten by General von Edelshelm, of the Prussian general staff.) "Operations against the United States of North America would have te be conducted in a different man- ner from those against | England. {During the last years politieal fric- tion with that State, especinily fric- tion arising from commercial causes 'Thas not been lacking, and the dif- foulties that have arisen have mostly been settled by our giving way. As {this obliging attitude has its limits, we have to ask ourselves what force we can possibly bring to bear-in or- der to meet the attacks of the-Unit- ed States against our intérests and to impose our will. Our fleet will probably be able to defeat the naval forces of the United States, which are distributed over two ocenns and over long distances. But it would ibe a mistake to suppose that the de feat of their fleet will force the Unit- ed States with its immense resources 'finto concluding peace. "In vléw of the small number of American merchantmen, in view of the small value of the American ¢ol: onies, which afe not even pacified, in view of the excellent fortifications with which the great American sea- ports are provided, and which can- not be taken exeept with very heavy losses, and in view of the large num- ber of American seaports, all of which we cannot blockade at, the same time, our fleet has no means to force that opponent through success ful maritime operations to conclude a peace on our terms. 7 "The possibility must be taken in- to account that the fleet of the Unmil- ed Stites will at firgt not venture in- to battle, -but that it will withdraw into fortified harbors, in order to, walt for a favorable opportunity of achieving® minor successes. There- fore it is clear that naval action alone will not be deéisive against the United States, but that the com- bined action of navy and army will be required. ' Considering the great extent of the United States, the con- quest of the country by an army of invasion is not possible, But thereis every reason to believe that vidtor- ious enterprises on the Atlantic coast, and the conquest of the mast important arteries through which imports and exports pass, 'will create such an unbearable state of affairs in the whole country that the gov- ernment will readily offer accept able conditions in order to obtain peace, The 'Regular - Army. "If Germany begins preparing a fleet of transports and troops for landing purposes at the wmoment when the battle Heet steams out of our harbors we may conclude that operations on American soil can be- gin after about four weeks, and 'it cannot be doubted that the United States will not be able to oppose to us within that time an army equiva- dent to our own. "At present the regular army of the United States amounts to 65,000 men, of whom about 30,000 ceuld be disposed of. Of these at least 10,000 are required for watching {he Indian territories and for guurd- ing the fordifications on the sea coast. Therefore only about 20,000 men of the regular army are ready for war. . Besides about 100,000 mil itia are in existence, of whom the larger part did not come up when they were called out during the'last war. Lastly, the militia is not effi: cient; it is partly anned with musgzle loaders and its tradning is worse than its armament. "As an operation by surprise against America Is impossible, on ae- count of the length of time which the transports are on the wad, only the landing can be effected by sure rise. Nevertheless, stress must bd aid on the fact that the rapidity of he invasion will considerably: facll- date victory gainst the United Stat- es, owing ta the absence of methodi- cal preparation for mobilizatien, ow- ing to the inexperience of the per- sonnel, and owing to the wemkness of the regular army. "In order to occupy permanently a considerable part of the United States and to protect our lines of operation so as to enable us to fight successfully against all forces whieh that country, in the course of 'time, can oppose to is, considerable forces would be required. Such an operas tion wotild be greatly hampered by the fact that it would require a sec: ond passage of the transport fleet in order to ship the necessary troops that long distamee. However, it seems questionable whether it would se advantagtays to occupy a great stretch of country for a considerable dme. The Americans will not feel inclined to conclude peace because me or two provinces are oveupied »y an arniy of imvasion, but because of the enormous material Josses shich the whole country will suffer f the Atlgutie harbor towns, in vhich the threads of the whole pros- yerity of the United States are con- sentrated, are torn away from them yhe after the other Invading The United States, "Therefore the task of the: fleet would be to undeffike a series of} .arge landing rations, through' are to take several of hese 1 and wealthy towns ¥ithin a brief space of time.

Though an extremely well de veloped railway system enables them to concentrate troops within a short time on the different points on the codst, the concentration of the troops apd the time which is lost until itis recognized which of the many threa- tened points of landing will really be utilized will, as a rule, make it possible for the army of invasion to carry out its operation with success under the co-operation of the fleet at the point chosen.
