WASHINGTON. Aug. 22.-The Aus Hungarian embassy today gave out for publication a review of the first year of the war from the stand point of the Teutonic and Turkish Allies The matter as issued by the embassy was described as "A sum mary of the net results of the con- flict to date,' and it came to the conclusion that the position of Aus tria- Hungary and Germany is most encouraging from a military, econom- lc, and financial point of view and that the second year of the conflict had begun under the most promis- ing auspices for the Allies of Central Europe"
 The full text of the matter given cut is as follows:
 A survey of the most important events of the war at the end of the first twelve months of it's wide spread operations leads inevitably to the conclusion that Great Britain and her Allies were the victims of an astoundingly gross miscalculation when they embarked upon an ad- venturous undertaking in the belief that an easy victory would be theirs. The position of France today is es- lf*GAdllN III NltW or InH fact that the craving for revenge in that country had subsided with the advent of a generation free from per sonal memories of 1870: but the ef- forts of the German government to establish closer relations with the westerly neighbor were frustrated by the growing influence of the English and the Russian jingoes. As far back as 1912 the military party in the French Republic openly inaug- Crated aggressive preparations, in cluding the projects for bringing the Colored troops of the French colonies into line against Germany and for the increase of the standing army by the bill known as the 'three-year service law" which was enacted by the French Parliament in 1913.
 The aggressive attitude of Russia was apparent even to the casual ob- server for many months before the firing of the first gun. The sub- Versive agitation carried on by Rus sia in Austria Hungary, and espec- ially in Galicia, the tariff war in augurated against Germany in 1913; the thinly yelled military prepara- tions eating as far back as 1909, un- der the guise of the so-called trial mobilization" and finally the conclu- sion of a loan of two billion francs for the sole purpose of the consIruc- ton of a network of strategic rail- ways directed against Germany and Austria Hungary, gave the lie to the afficial assurances from St Peters burg that the Russian Empire was bent upon preserving the peace of Europe in the face of German provo cations.
 Employ Resources to Utmost
 In anticipation of the confla grafton, the resources of the Triple Entente had been employed to their utmost in an endeavor to secure the co-opera- tion of other countries against Ger many, to tamper with established royalties and disrupt traditional friendships. Diplomacy, press cam raigns and the lever of the powerful Franco British financial groups were applied to the task of encircling the rising German Empire with a ring of enmities. The late King Edward spared no efforts to entice Austria Hungary from her treaty alliance with her western neighbor. With French support. financial, political and other advantages were offered to the Dual Monarchy as unavailing inducements to an act of information al treachery which finally has been committed by Italy. In the light of these facts. now recalled by traglc events, it would be futile to deny a plot to crush Germany had been carefully and tenaciously prepared by the Triple Entente. and the protes- tations of the British, French and Russian governments that the war had been forced upon them will not bear scrutiny.
