Of the German Defenders.

LONDON, Aug. 10.-The vigorous
offensive of the entente allies on the
French, Galician and Italian fronts, is
!Still being rewarded with important
successes. In Austria the Italians
have captured the city of Gorilla, "a
miles northwest of Triest; in Galicia
the Russians, in quest of Lemberg,
Nhave further carried out their endeav.
0rs toward the capture of Stanislau
/ from the Austro-Germans, while In
IFrance the French and British forces
lin the Somme region have attacked
and won additional points Of vantage
from the Germans.
| The capture of Gorilla by the Ital-
ians seemingly is as important a gain
by the entente allies as has yet been
attained in their present synchronous
offensive, the city being the door
through which the Italians may now
pass in an endeavor to carry out their
long cherished idea of capturing
Trieste, Austria's big seaport at the
head of the Adriatic sea.
y In the fall of Gorilla, in which Rome
says the Austrians were completely
routed, the Italians inflicted heavy
casualties on its defenders, took more
! than 10000 prisoners and captured
considerable quantities of war requi.
sites.
The Russian general, Letchitzky has
driven his wedge further into the Aus
trian-German line near Stanislau,
capturing eight miles east of that inn

And the submarine as weapon In the

men abandoned Napoleon for peace.
History Repeating Itself
Now. no one can mistake the fact that
history is already repeating itself. To-
Jay Germany cannot make peace, cannot
rest from her labors or harvest the fruits
of her victories, because there is no power
in her hands TO compel, 70 persuade, the
British to make peace. She has provinces
Of France, Of Russia-these she might
evacuate-she has the resources TO pur-
chase peace from her land foes, but what
shall she offer Britain7
Above all, what shall she offer the only
nation which has actually gained by the
present war, for Britain has already swept
up German colonies and abolished her only
rival in the sea-borne commerce Of the
world? Some day Germany must return
10 peace. but she cannot return TO normal
life while Hamburg and Bremen are sealed
I'd. while the seas are closed to her for
that export and import trade by which, as
an industrial nation, she must live.
Casualties.
The war has cost her seven casualties TO
che British, and she has only slightly
larger white population than Britain and
British colonies. In money It Is costing
Germany and Great Britain about dollar
for dollar, but Germany has no such &C
cumulation Of capital as Britain. And
some portion Of British trade and COM
merce is still going forward.
4 war of exhaustion is terribly expen-
sive for Great Britain, but in men Great
Britain is now better off because Of Ger
nan losses; in money she is even more
advantageously placed. She Is living on
her accumulated capital-her past; Ger
Teny Is mortgaging her future. In hu-

man capital Germany's loss has already
been staggering, Britain's relatively
slight, and then British capacity for re-
covery is vastly greater than Germany's.
Present Problems.
But the present problems are OF more
Importance to Germany than any future
contingency. We're it not for the British
navy she could obtain a satisfactory
peace to-day. a peace that would assure
ter eastern frontier and give her ally the
hegemony of the Balkans. She could even
expect TO hold Belgium and possibly por-
ton of France
AS it is, she cannot obtain peace on
terms that In the smallest degree recog-
nize her great victories and conquests, be-
cause she has failed TO take single foot
Of British territory and has so far failed
10 find any weapon which would disturb
british safety or menace British imports.
To-day Germany could talk peace with
France. with Russia, with the foe Of her
Austrian ally, Italy. But she cannot talk
peace with Great Britain because at far
smaller cost in lives. Britain has won
practically all Of Germany's colonies and
now holds the gate TO Germany, the sea
gate by which Germany's manufactures
must reach the world, by which Germany's
food and raw materials must enter. How
shall Germany persuade the British 70
permit them TO use the gate? II she can
not persuade them by force, she must meet
British terms.
The Terms
These terms have been forecast: the first
provision in any British treaty of peace
must be the restoration by Germany Of all
the provinces and regions conquered. She
must give up the profits Of the war and
bear the terrible burdens incident 10 her
losses Of men and TO her accumulation OF
debt, not merely without reward, but with
the actual loss Of her colonies. Such, .
