Germany Well Satisfied.
So far as the result Of the war IS
concerned, Germany is very well sat
isfied for the following reasons;
l. The prisoners taken by Germany
amount to 1,l50,0O0 men against 49,
600 lost by Germany
> The capture Of $500 cannon, At

can see that Germany and Austria VIII
be the winner in this war.
Italy Not Important Factor.
The declaration Of war by Italy Will

disadvantages as she has neither money

TINS situation by placing 100000 men
