Great Britain has proved her capacity

sugar is cheaper to-day in Great

"Anxiety Shifted from France;
Russia Confident of Victory
Cars War Minister Says
Strategic Conditions Favor
Allies on All Fronts.

Petrograd, July 2a.-The present
strategic situation gives ground for the
conviction that complete victory IN
the European war will be won by the
Entente Allies, declares General d. S.
Chouviaeff, the Minister of War, in a
statement made 10 The Associated
Press on the military situation at the
close of the second year of the
struggle.
"Uninterruptedly preparing during
forty years for an attack upon neigh
boring countries, the Austro Germans
in the first period of the war; said
General Chouviaef, "were naturally
superior to their opponents in the
quantity of the means Of warfare pre-
pared by them. But desire to break
the enemy created a great spirit Of
enthusiasm among the people OF the
countries of the anti-German group,
which people. ardently taking up the
work of providing their armies with
the necessary supplies, built up within
a short time new military industrial
enterprises many times increasing the
former production.
THE end of the second year of the
war was marked by the results of this
patriotic upheaval among the Allies
which found expression in successful
adoption of the offensive by their
armies. now abundantly supplied with
war material and powerful artillery.
I'm complete unity with all the Allies:
the Russian army a month and half
ago dealt a destructive blow from ITS
left flank, and from that time has un-
interruptedly continued one blow after
another against the Austro- Hungarlans.
In the same way, our Caucasus troops
are persisting in driving the Turks from
supposedly impregnable heights IN
Asia Minor.
"Thus at the beginning Of the third
year of the war strategic conditions
which have now become favorable for
the Allies on all the fronts more than
ever give ground for the conviction
that complete victory will be gained
over the enemy"

Berlin. July 30 Reviewing the polit-
ical events Of the second year OF the
war the German Foreign Office has
given to the Associated Press the fol-
lowing statement:
unlike the military situation, it is
not easy to review briefly the develop
ments IN the confused paths Of polit-
ical events, but an attempt will be
made in the following 20 trace the
leading ideas connected with the polit-
ical problems Of the second year OF
the war.
"Thc world war was caused by Rus
sia's aggressive policy, supported by
Frances policy Of revenge. But it was
rendered possible solely by the fact
tina: England subordinated to her
economic ontagonism to Germany all
her Other interests.
"Whcreas Gcrmanys enemies regard

territorial ggrandizcments at the cost
Of others like Russia. who wants Con-
stantinoolc and Galicia; like France
who desires Alsacc- Lorraine and the

who seeks Austrian territory they
grudge Germany even that she strive

Germany must be destroyed. Ger
