The daily Gate City. [volume] (Keokuk, Iowa) 1855-1916, 1915-07-21

The fact that England and France
must be content to sit idly by and
watch Russia now being overrun, will
unquestionably form one of the major
criticisms that history will pass on
the present campaign. When Russia
is crippled, the Anglo-French armies
may be in a position to develop a
combined offensive Of their own. but
by that time, they in turn, can expect
no help from the Slavs.
The Germans are especially capable
of taking advantage Of their enemies
lack of military unity, because SINH
lar condition permitted Frederick the
Great to win Prussia's seven year war
against France, Austria and Russia
The triple powers allied against Fred
erick could no more attack In concert
than England, France and Russia are
able to do now. Frederick thus was
given opportunities to throw his
armies against them in turn; while at
critical moments for Prussia, Fred
erick's opponents would suddenly halt
their offensives just as France and
England are doing now. History is
repeating itself, in fact, for Germany's
immense and perhaps decisive bene-
fit. Discord may be an inevitable
weakness even OF coalitions fighting
for their lives and the present allies
NAV never be able to work in unison
though this war too, lasts seven years.
