In the American case Bull Run was
fought in 9uly, 1861, and there followed
the long series of defeats in the PENN
sula, at Second Bull Run, at Frederieks
burg. at Charlottesville, before We came
to Gettysburg in July, 1868, and superior
resources ard numbers at last began to
tell Now. nothing is clearer than that
the German success has not approx
mated Napoleon's and that Allied de-
feats have not compared with those of
the Northern armies in the first two
years of our conflict.
All that history can teach us points
to the fact that unless the smaller ma
tion, the country with fewer men and
smaller resources, can achieve its vic
tory while its superiority in preparation
is decisive, it is beaten. and the only
question is the length of time that the
war must run before exhaustion strikes
it down. In the case of Napoleon not
even the decisive victories of the earlier
years of the empire We're sufficient. Louis
XIV also failed, despite his enormous
advantage in preparation.
The real truth about the great war is
! that day by day and week by week the
nations which have every advantage in
resources, numbers and sea power are
: bringing up a greater part of their
/ strength and the nation which. with
smaller ultimate resources, was able to
bring greater strength up in the open
/ ing days. is falling behind. by reason of
/ approaching exhaustion. If Great Brit
ain or France should decide to stop, the
course of the war would be changed, but
aside from this there has never since the
Marine and the User been any real qucs-
tion of the outcome of the war.
Germany has already failed in her
main object: she planned to defeat
France completely and take from her a
! tremendous indemnity she planned to
turn her armies to the East and dispose
\ of Russia. She was then prepared 10
challenge Great Britain, her real rival
and her true enemy. She planned Ia
dominate not alone Europe. but the
world. Today She is fighting not Great
D Britain alone. but Europe. with only
weak allies. and on no side is there any
promise of victory

There is nothing more difficult than
to preserve a perspective in the midst
Of great war Again and again the
mind is distracted from the actual
value OF the event by some spectacu-
lar appeal that it has or by some
imaginary value attached to it by the
nation which hopes thereby to i'm
press its enemies and the neutrals.
To take the case Of Montenegro: If
you say that a nation with an area
about equal to that of Connecticut
and Rhode Island and a population
of half million has been conquered
and probably eliminated from the
war, it is plain that you are saying
that nothing Of real Importance has
happened. Montenegro never pos
sessed an army of the strength of a
regular corps; it began the war with
only a weak division. and it's re-
sources in men are exhausted
On the other hand. if you say that
Germany and her allies have con-
quered another nation, and that now
not less than three countries have
been swept by the victorious armies
of the two kaisers; if YOU dwell upon
the extent Of this victory as witness
ed by the submission of nations, you
can easily become the victim of your
own words and perceive a triumph
which does not exist and has never
existed
The real issue OF the war has de-
pended for many months. actually
from the start on the outcome Of tho
duel between Germany on the one
hand and France and Great Britain
on the other Austria's mission has
been to deal with Russia and the
Balkans, and Austria has never beer

power and gun-power Germany is now
and will remain for the period Of the
war at a disadvantage.
Taking now the case Of money. Be
fore the war the combined wealth of
France and Great Britain was not less
than twice that of Germany, and the
reserves of capital we're even greater
Germany was in the process Of ex-
tending and developing her plant and
was putting her earnings back into
her plant. France and Great Britain
had great investments all over the
world. from which they drew and con-
tinue to draw revenue. They are now
from time to time dispOsing Of them
to get new supplies to run the war
Against the S400 square miles OF
France that Germany has acquired
she must set the complete loss Of the
use of the sea and the loss OF the
whole colonial empire that she has
built mp in the last generation The
latter is a consideration for the fu-
ture. but the loss of the use Of the
sea amounts to a complete paralysis
of her industry. so far as the outside
world is concerned.
The population OF the portion OF
France occupied by Germany did moi
exceed 2.500,O00 before the war. Ger
man losses as tabulated by German
official reports show a greater cas-
ualty total than this. The population
of France and Great Britain before tho
war was S5.000.000 in Europe, plus
not far from 10000 900 whites in theil
colonies, and their combined casual
ties do not exceed the German.
What we have is the plain fact tina

and Great Britain i'm men, in money AM

If observers would remember the his
tory of the Civil War of the Napoleoni
wars and not fix their attention upo
the minor incidents as contrasted wit
the larger facts of the present war, the
would perceive that the conflict is pro
ceediug about as all similar conflict

SPIRIT OF THE
DELMARVIA PRESS
NO CHEAP ENGINEERS SHOULD BE
EMPLOYED.
From the SalisbnrY News.

From the Salisbury News.
The committee ma ed by the Mayor
and Council to look into the standing
and report to the Council their recon-
mendation for the employment of a firm
of engineers to make the sanitary sur
vey for the city of Salisbury, should be
most careful in their recommendation.
This is case where cheapness is not
desirable and the committee should go
thoroughly into its work and make the
most exhaustive study of the character
and fitness Of all the men who have
made bids to do the work and endeavor
not TO make any mistake in the recon-
mendation to the Council.
This is the most important piece of
engineering work which has ever been
attempted by the city Of Salisbury, and
the results Of this survey will have
very tremendous effect on the future de-
velopment of the city for the next
twenty-five years. For this reason and
for the reason that the health of the
people of Sail Jury as well as the COM
mercial growth OF the city will depend
/ largely on the manner in which this
survey is made and the thoroughness
and skill with which it is DONE should
be sufficient incentive to make the spe-
cial committee as we'll as the Mayor and
! Council study we'll the whole situation
] before making move in the employ
ment of anyone TO do the work.
Here is a case where cheapness is Ger
| tamly not desirable. The matter of a
! few hundred dollars should not be con-
/ sidcred in connection with getting the
proper engineers to do this Job. It is
clearly a scientific and professional piece
of work which should have the most ex-
pert trained minds to handle it, If. after
looking over the feld. the srecial COM
mittco aud the Mayor and Council finds
that We have in MARYLAND a competent
J firm of engineers whose ability aud skill
measures up satisfactory to these two
bodies, then by all means q Maryland
/ firm should be given the preference. pro-
vlded all else is equal. We do not be.
! lievc. however that the committee
should take any chances simply TO EN-.
