BERLIN, July 27.-The kaiser
will go down in history as VIII
liam the Great, If the events OF
the first year of the war appeal
as wildly to the imaginations OF
future Germans as they do to the
generation that is living through
the present world conflict.
Frederick the Great held Eu-
rope at bay, and saved Prussia
through seven years of strife.
His descendant, who now holds
the Hohenzollern throne, has more
than equaled Frederick's task, be-
cause Frederick had England
with him, and there was then no
United States to furnish Ger
many's enemies with munitions.
Had bad Beginning.
Nobody expects the present con-
flict to run seven years, but If the
allies can stand a war of that dur
alton, so can Germany with the
kaiser at the head OF affairs.
When the war started the En-
peror William had fallen into dis
favor with many of his people for
a number OF reasons.
Some believed he was too auto
cratic, others thought he was too
we'll disposed toward the English,
and still others thought he was
afraid of the military machine
Germany had developed and was
too prejudicej in favor of peace
at any price ever 20 permit the
machine to test itself The early
days of the var, when enemy aft
er enemy took the field against
Germany, people talked dispar-
agingly of the emperor, as an in
competent, who had played his
cards boldly and had overesti-
mated Germany's strength.
Now "The Great"
But when victories began to be
won, and when the enemy first
here and then there was rolled
back the popular opinion of the
kaiser began to change. People
confessed they had misjudged
him. The bitter criticism of Ger
many's enemies directed against
the kaiser, and the comments Of
neutral nations, added to his pop
ularity at home, until now, the
kaiser is the idol of his nation.
He is regarded as the embodiment
of German virtues, the represen-
tative of German might and
power.
The nation agrees he has not
abused the absolutely autocratic
power he has welded since last
August, but has used his authority
to meet every crisis confronting
Germany in a manner that wins
unanimous approval. If the war
ends under conditions substan-
TALLY as they are now, Germany
will have saved herself, and will
have demonstrated her powers so
convincingly thar the kaiser, who
is now responsible for all things
in the empire, must be given the
title Of THE Great"

PARIS, July 20. The
Great Doubt has been lifted
from the heart of France.
The accomplishment of
this was the grandest decd of
French arms I'm all the year
of Armageddon which began
year ago this week.
In history the feat will be
known as the victory of the
Battle of the Marne.
Not only did this victory prob
ably decide the fate of France
geographically, but its influence
upon the spirit of the country was,
and still is, incalculable.
For Notwithstanding the $50
lidarity" accomplished instantly
and spontaneously August /, the
day the general mobilization or
der was posted, a great doubt
weighed like lead on the hearts
of those who marched away sing
ing as we'll as those who stayed
behind and wept.
Everybody remembered 1870.
The old remembered the swift
defeat in the Franco-Prussian war
and the horrible nightmare Of
blunders. The young had heard
the story time and again. The
French, in 1870, were totally I'M
prepared for war, we're badly
equipped and badly led. Their
plans lacked cohesion. Generals
fought Independently, one of the
other.
Treason was laid at the door
of one and altogether it was ter
rible mess in which the poor SOL
diers never had the slightest
chance notwithstanding a courage
which wrung from even the Prus-
slams the exclamation: "Oh, what
brave fellows!"
Didn't Know JOffre.
All knew, those who remained
waiting as well as those who went
to war, that for A years Germany
had been living, eating. sleeping,
drinking, dreaming war and that
this had come. What about
France? Who was General Jof-
fire? Who were the other gen.
erals? Newspapers had but re-
Gently declared that France was
unprepared; was this true?
After vague news reached Paris
that General Joffre was in re-
treat from Charleroi, the 1870
bugaboo doomed bigger and big
ger. Maubeuge was invested;
Lille was occupied. Then there
came silent, tense days, without
any real news.
The people could not know that
General Joffre was later to be
called a genius. They could only
wonder II his retreat was strategy
or incompetency. They did not
know the Battle of the Marine was
being fought, nor that Joffre had
performed. by winning victory

the world. Yet this was true,
General Bonnal said Of this bat
tie:
Ghost Of 1870 Laid.
This is the first time to my
knowledge that great army, re-
treating and fighting at the same
time and for eight days in success
sion, was able to furnish the eff
fort by itself to transform in
stantly its long and painful re-
treat into an irresistible often
sive."
Yet that Is what the French
army was able to do. Through
this victory new France was
born. The Great Doubt was lifted,
the 1870 bugaboo banished. The
people were given confidence in
the army, the army in itself.
Henceforth, whatever may hap
pen to the French soldier, he will
refuse TO be discouraged. He can
advance, retreat or doggedly hold
what he has won, with any or all,
with tenacity and good cheer. He

LONDON, July 27.-After a
year at war, the Britith empire
has somewhat less than three
quarters of a million troops in the
field; its allies have approximate
ly 10 million.
The British front in the west
ern theater is about 40 miles in
length; the lines of the other al
lies east and west, including Ser
bia and Montenegro, cover 1900
miles.
AS the ratio of troops employed
Is one to IA and the ratio of mile
age Is one to 40, there appears to
be some justification for the com
plants recently made-quite I'M
officially, of course-both in
France and Russia that England
is not doing her share of the
work.
Fulfills Her Argument.
But the question as to whether
England is fulfilling her obliga-
tions should be considered in the
light of her promises. On this
basis, she has delivered more than
was specified in the contract.
There were two clauses in the sec
ret agreement made with France
long before the war started:
England would take care of the
seas.
She would send an expedition
airy force to France of 10000
men.
That's all there was to It. She
has carried out the first clause to
the letter; she has sent nearly six
times as many men to the firing
line as she bargained for, and she
Is still sending them as fast as
they can be trained.
Saved Calais.
There. probably always will be
some difference of opinion as to
whether it was British valor OF
German laundering that saved
Paris in the early days of the war.
Perhaps 1t was the two. Anyhow,
Paris was saved, and Britishers
at least always will give the lion S
share of the credit to Field Mar
shall French, his generals and his
soldiers.
But even II the salvation of
Paris was not due to the British,
there is no question that they and
they alone saved Calais and the
other channel ports. OF course in
accomplishing this, England has
done herself a greater service
than she has the French.
All idea of the "big spring
drive upon which the military
writer's had fed the imagination
of the British public for months
was abandoned at Neuve Chapelle,
when at the cost of 1900 men,
the British barely made a dent in
the German line of highly forti-
fled trenches.
Then after the second battle of
Ypres, in which the Germans first
used asphyxiating gases, came the
battle of La Bassee.
Cabinet Disrupted.
A newspaperman witnessed this
battle. He told the public through
the medium of the London Times
the reason why the British had
failed, starting the scandal that
disrupted the British liberal CAL
met, caused the formation OF a
coalition ministry sheared Lord
Kitchener's wings and created the
new department Of munitions,
with Lloyd-George at its head.
Somebody had blundered. Lord
Northciiffe's newspapers fastened
responsibility on Kitchener.
While giving him due credit for
his magnificent work in raising,
organizing and training the larg-
sest volunteer army the world has
ever seen. they charged him with
