What the War Moves Mean
By J. w. T. Mason, Former European Man
ager of the United Press.

Napoieonlc genius can prevent stu
pendous disaster. For this reason
German resistance along the Alsne
cannot afford to take the chances
that were legitimate for the allies in
the battle Of the Marne.
Paris on ono side and the frontier
fertilization line Of Ep!nai-BeIforte on
tho other, were ready as strong pivot
Ing points II the Germans had broken
the Marine line. But mono such exists
for the Germans along the Aisne.
Therefore the invaders cannot wait
long on IndecIsive results. II their
line goes, and the Ardenes roads are
blocked, annlF1lIation becomes Immln-
ent For this reason the battle Of
AIsne II such battle there be, prob
ably will not compare with the Marne
In duration and Intensity.
The announcement Of General Suk-
hemlinoff, Russian war minister, that
there will be no change In Russia's
chief objective Of reaching Berlin as
soon as possible, has great import
ance. II has been pointed out In this
column that any effort to prolone
operations In Austro-Hungary beyond
the strategic requirements Of the
march to Berlin, would only prolons
the war.
There has been evidence that, car
ried away by the GaIieian victories
and not relishing the quality Of Ger
man resistance In east Prussia, Rus
SLAMS have been fascinated by the
temptation Of comparatively easy
marches on Vienna and Budapest.
The Petrograd government through
General SukhemIinoft, shows that
wiser opinions have prevailed and
there are to be no Interruptions OF
only Russian strategy that can hasten
the end Of the war.

that there is deep gloom everywhere

ernment has failed to make any pro-
vision for the unemployed. Business

been deceived by the kaiser. These
reports, however, are extremely vague
