Indeed, for reasons which will be given,
even should Germany lose the war, she Will
in reality win 1t, paradoxical as this may
seem.
But first supposing, for the sake OF the
argument, that Germany will lose the war;
from what point will the recuperation have TO
begin2
Obviously, she cannot lose suddenly nor tor
several years. If she is to lose, it will be by
gradually being forced back at ever increasing
cost to her enemies, as on the offensive their
losses will multiply.
At terrific cost, bit by bit, they will push
her back until the task of pushing her further
back will appal the stoutest. Blood and treas
ure will finally cease to be worth the candle.
The preponderance Of moral stamina will
remain with the Germans, and the hearts OF
the Allies will sicken and their purses grow
thin to no good purpose.
Perceiving, however. that continued resist

BE DONE.

conserve and utilize her resources, so that an
early ending of the war unfavorable to Ger
many is entirely out of the question.
If the war, then, is to end to Germany's
disadvantage, as Americans believe, it is evil
dent that if it does so it must prove another
long -drawn-out struggle such as that OF the
Civil War, and the future Of Germany will
appear to Americans to be necessarily similar
to the condition OF the South after the war,
a wretched and exhausted country PROSTATE
for generation. The very length of the war,
it is assumed, will make the condition of the
country the more deplorable, while the bar.
barity Of Cossack invaders and the revenge
of the French will reduce the land to a con-
dition Of desolaton from which recovery will
be long and painful and recuperaton ggan-
tic effort.
Such a picture is very far from the reality
which is likely to result from the present war,
for reasons which will be shown, and Ger
many's recuperation in any event will be
rapid, in spite of the fact that, if she loses
unlike the South, she will have large indem-
nifty to pay.
Germany is, in fact, already recuperatng.
All the processes OF recuperaton upon which
she will depend are already in operation Her
most serious disturbance was at the moment
OF mobilization. Once her army was at the
front, the anticipated routine OF war was be
gum and is being carried forward like any
other gigantic business undertaking. The ad-
ministrative mechanism is intact and in
powerful operation and she is ready for any
and every eventuality and is meeting condi-
tons with far greater effectiveness than any
Of her adversaries. All unnecessary disorgan-
izaton has been avoided, and, though a costly
operation is being performed, it is going for
ward just as surely as though it were a bust
ness undertaking. Germans are confident OF
winning the war. Knowing Germany's re-
sources and executive methods as they do.
anythng but a successful issue seems entire
" out Of the bounds Of the probabilities, for

directed efforts ill-directed ones.

the contending armies, but that greater por-
t;ons of the territory of her enemies will be
so devastated
II will mean that her present industrial and
commercial resources will be in no way i'm
paired, and that she will be in position 10
compete with the manufacturers OF other coun-
tries to even better advantage than before, tor
the reason that in making peace she Will be IN
position TO obtain not only an indemnity but
the sweeping away OF tariff restrictions
against her goods which serve to foster her
foreign competitors.
They. suffering under the burden of the in
demnity which Germany will be in position
TO spend in restoring the acquired territory
and without the protection of tariffs, will be
unable to stand against German competition.
It may be argued that foreign manufactur-
ers will be spurred by such conditions Gas
would be the case with German manufactur-
ers), but this will not be the case, as other
countries lack the German system and Ger
man technical methods and governmental CO.
operation, and the individual manufacturers
left to themselves will become bankrupt where
the individual manufacturer in Germany Will
be able to call upon the government for such
assistance as he may need to see him through
any difficult period.
The condition of defeat, therefore, which
would only spur the German manufacturer
will prove disaster to the manufacturers OF
other countries.
In the event of German victory, the terri
tory which her military forces occupy will
undoubtedly remain permanently in her pos
session. This would include all of Belgium,
the richest manufacturing and mineral por-
tons of France, Poland and the western
plains of Russia, the most fertile part OF the
Russian Empire, which is, in fact, to-day largely
occupied by German population, and region
which also includes practically all of Russia's
manufacturing industries
And when the war is over, Germany will
return to the paths of peace, not to ind her

be improved rather than diminished Con-
fronted by necessities which would not other
wise arise, new inventions may reasonably be
expected to be thereby mothered and new
processes devised to balance the new disad-
vantages.
THE INTERPRETATION OF DEFEAT
IN GERMANY.
AS Germany's chief assets are in her utiliza-
ton of labor and transformation of low grade
raw materials into high grade products, the
loss of territory is not so important to her as
it is to countries more devoted to agriculture
The war thus will not deprive Germany OF
any material element Her population, which
is her chief asset, will remain the same and all
her inventions, processes and commercial trade
and industrial methods will remain undisturbed
and in full operation.
The value OF the indemnity to the other
countries, too, if they obtain it, will be some
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-04-11

what chimerical. German wealth is largely
produced by the profit between the import and
export values Of her manufactures. She i'm
ports cheap raw materials and exports highly
valuable products manufactured therefrom.
The indemnity in reality will only amount TO
more favorable discount on her goods.
The margin of profit to the German manu-
facturer will thus be decreased and this neces-
sty will force him to devise new methods Of
efficiency and new economies of manufacture
which when the indemnity is finally paid off
will leave him in a position to outdistance
competition in other countries The very bur-
dens, thus, which Germanys enemies may i'm
pose are certain to be the tool by which they
fashion their own destruction.
Thus it will be seen that Germany cannot
in reality be defeated in this war, whatever the
outcome Of the struggles in the field, for de.
feat and its consequences can only prove
spur to greater efforts.
On the other hand, victory, if German arms
are victorious, and to the German who knows
the resources and spirit of Germany this
seems a foregone conclusion, will not be for
Germany the empty triumph that it will be to
the Allies if they should win.
Victory to Germany will mean that not only
will no more OF her territory be overrun by
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1915-04-11

forces lose consistently, which even the most
sanguine of the Allies cannot expect.
Assuming that the German forces are grad
ually pushed back. with fluctuations in the
tide of battle, the Allies cannot hope at most
to gain parity with her by the end OF the
third year of the war.
The actual defeat of the Germans could
not, therefore, be expected short of four years
under the most favorable circumstances

formed of the Allies leaders, does not prom

STARVE OUT GERMANY 1T CAN'T
BE DONE.
1t is chimerical, however, to suppose that
Germany can be starved out either financially
or physically. The excellent system OF gov

efficient and respected officials, enables her to

industries ruined, her fields and farms devas-
tated, and her financial and economic systems
out OF operation, with every individual left
to his own impoverished devices, as did the
South, but rather she will return to speed up
again the merely slowed wheels of industry
and to pick up the tools where they were last
laid down, to start again the engines of prog
ress rather than to collect the debris of a
wreck
And Germany will recuperate not as one
who has suffered an organic malady, but as
one who has given his blood to save another,
and whose recuperation is prompt, healthfu
and rapid
REVIVAL OF INDUSTRY SCHEDULED
AS A POST-BELLUM SURPRISE.
And the post-bellum surprise OF the world
is going to be the rapid recuperation of Ger
many. Scarcely will the last echoes of the
field guns have died away when revival of
industry will begin which will be unparal-
lelled in history. The whole world will be
bare OF German products and tired of sub
stitutes and makeshifts. Particularly in her
chemical industries she will again supply the
world, and enable, for example, the million
American workmen now out of work through
lack of materials OF manufacture OF which

ance can gain nothing more for Germany II
she is to be defeated, time will come when
her leaders will realize that peace, even at the
cost of territory and indemnity will be in
Germany's interest. And the Allies will be
content with a slice of territory and the
money rather than TO continue their sacrifices.
Thus, peace will be more desirable than war
to both sides and then and not till then will
peace come.
If Germany is 10 be defeated, il will in all
probability be in such wise The result will
be, say the Rhine as a western boundary, the
loss of Heligoiand, Denmark down to the Kiel
Canal, Russia biting off East Prussia and an
indemnity to be paid More than this, the
most optimistic of the Allies can scarcely hope
for
But in what position will such an outcome
leave Germany?
THE BEGINNING OF REGENERATION
IN GERMANY.
Certainly in as good position relatively as
the Allies, as far as recuperaton goes Her
losses of men in the war will certainly not be
greater than the birthrate, and the population
OF the provinces which may be taken from her
will in all probability have been during the
course of the war driven into Germany to find
new homes, while the land taken from her will
have been made wilderness by the military
operations
France and Russia, with large portions Of
their own territory devastated will thus be
masters only of some additional stretches OF
wilderness, the restoration of which will re-
qure vast amounts Of capital and systematic
administration, both of which will be entirely
lacking.
The population of Germany will be practi-
cally the same as before the war, but will be
confined within smaller area. The burden
of the indemnity. however severe, will not
prove material block to German progress.
Indeed, with the pressure Of population in
creased, like steam confined in smaller
boiler, greater effort will result, and Ger
man trade and industry may be expected to
