CURRENT COMMENT
Why Britain Worries.

"If submarine freight traffic is so I'M
important" suggests one of our cores
pondents, 'why do the allies make such
a tremendous effort TO destroy that traf-
fic?"
The question has been asked num-
Der of times, and meantime the allies
effort has grown ever greater-almost
overwhelmingly great. But Germany's
submarine commerce still looks little to
anyone who has seen the docks piled high
with merchandise billed to England. The
physical feat of the Deutsehland's voy-
age-which would be exceeded by sue
cessful return to Germany-does not
grow less, but the submersible pitiably
small cargo capacity makes the Deutsch-
lands commercial accomplishment
mere trihe of export venture.
The reason why England and France
increase their patrol on the sea path 20
Germany is not that they fear Germany
NAV be fed and clothed by an undersea
route. but that they find it necessary to
destroy what is unquestionably a Ger
man triumph
The submarine trader is Germany's
supreme, and probably final. defiance Of
British sea power Germany has found
a means for wrecking the laws of ma
ture: it would never do to let Germany
nullifv the laws of man, the precious
laws that put merchant vessel at the
mercy of a war vessel
Ii Germany succeeds, the position Of
the moment is much strengthened NOR
ally. and the sea power of the future
a power now distinctively British-must
be Judged by new standards.
In that sense the merchant submarine
is weapon. indeed. And England knows
It.
What strength in guns and ships may
be lurking off our coast in search Of
German submarines we don't pretend 70
know But the use of a considerable
allied fleet seems justified. surely. Fun
Their. armed submarines may follow the
ones.

lions and men in such force over a limit
ed length of front that the onrush would
be irresistible. They chose Verdun be-
cause the position of the ancient fortress
was such that the defenders had their
backs to the river Meuse on two sides
and because success there would give the
greatest possible prestige with neutral
| powers and the maximum comfort to
their own people. 1t was also possible
| they knew what subsequent political
events in France disclosed-that the de-
| lenses of Verdun were not, in view of the
| field tactics of this war, as strong as
other parts of the front. II is the belief
of military experts that the Germans
hoped to break through the front there
and destroy the French armies. It was
! imperati that success be rapid accord
! ing TO this view, and when, after three
days, the advance was checked in the re-
gion Of Douaumont the project had failed.
General Petain, as an official citation lat.
er revealed, had time to "re-establish
delicate situation" There was no longer
hope OF breaking through the French
front.
Every yard Of ground gained by the
Germans before Verdun since February
"A has been at an extremely heavy san
culinary cost. The continuing Of so ex
pensive and fruitless an operation has
puzzled the critics. 1t has been advanced
that the Germans persisted with the OBJ
ject of exhausting the French forces and
preventing an offensive by the allies else
where, If that end was in view, the sue
cesses of the allies in the battle of the
Somme show it was not attained.
The battle of Verdun, if ordered with
the intention of interfering with the OF
fensive plans of the allies, in nowise di- |
minished the chances of carrying them
ont, whatever the fate of the discarded |
fortress, it having now no more signifi J
canoe apart from the prestige of the |
name than any other point along the |
front Local success there has long been |
discounted and. in military opinion, can
have no vital effect, while the attempting |
of wastage process by the central pow
ers at this stage OF the war is held to /
be illusory and certainly enormously
costly. The central empires have no
longer reserves in such numbers that
they can afford to launch them against
the allies in the mere hope of inficting
more damage than they suffer.
The heroic defense of Verdun, on the
other hand has been for the Allies one
Of the notable developments of the war.

the battle Of the Somme they were able
TO reply to the French and British guns
in the proportion of only one shot for
three.
The successful defense of Verdun and
the successful offensives OF the allies in
the north of France and on the western
front show at the end of the second year
of the war that the finally prepared war
map on which the German chancellor held
that the allies ought to accept negotia
tions Is undergoing singular modifica
tions, with the Russians occupying Buko-
wilma and part of Galicia; the Italians
recovering territory lost in the recent
Austrian offensive and still in possession
of the Isonzo region and with the French
and British in possession of more than
80 villages on the banks of the Somme
that had been occupied by the Germans
for 20 months and each of them trans
formed in the meantime into miniature
fortresses.
The allies have caught up with the ad-
vantages of the central powers in prep
aration, and any further notifications of
the respective positions of the contending
forces, it is believed, must be a recon
quest of invaded territory by the allies.
The destruction of adversary forces is
another and far more difficult matter.
In this war the end may be nearer than
many hope or may yet be far distant.
There are no bases on which to calculate
the progress of military operations or
the resistance of the belligerents, even
when apparently doomed to defeat. What
S clear is that the anticipated ascend
ency of the allies, arising from their
resources, appears to have
,een realized.

Kaiser Wilhelm is reported to have ex-
pressed his regret in a speech to German
soldiers that nature prevents him from
shouldering gun and going into the
trenches along with them. He is next
reported to have informed the gun bear
ing men that it were better for him TO
stay out of the range of the bullets so
that he might be spared to direct the
destinies of the nation given into his care
by divine direction. He is also reported
to have made some other remarks to the
soldiers, remarks which for pure bun
combe would be laughed out OF court in
the United States. Indeed, the state.
ments are so silly as to arouse the sus-
picion that no man with the least percep.
ton of human nature would care to put
them in words. We are forced to the
conclusion that the German emperor has
been incorrectly quoted, to use an Amer
lean phrase in his connection

THE WAR ANNIVERSARY

1t was two years ago the latter part OF
the present month that the present great
war developed in southeastern Europe
from dispute between Austria and Ser
bia. For those two years millions OF
men almost tens of millions of men, have
been engaged in bloody conflict. Hun
dreds of thousands of them in each of
the larger nations involved have gone to
their death and even more have been
wounded or taken prisoners, while the
industries of all those nations have either
been brought to standstill or have been
crippled in serious fashion. Thus far
nothing has been accomplished by the
war; and indeed, neutral people know
that nothing can be accomplished that
will be for the good of the human race,
of the fighting be established.
just when that lesson will be learned
by all of the nations involved is at pres
ent problematical. Certainly at the pres
ent time the end of the war cannot be
seen. 1t would appear almost that one
half of the war merely has been fought,
leaving long time more of bloodshed be-
fore the cessation of hostilities and the
signing of peace. During the first two
years the star of the Teutonic nations
has been in the ascendancy, their armies
having trampled upon the soil of practi-
cally every nation that opposed them.
barring, of course, England, which has
maintained her inviolabiity, thanks to-
her feet. German armies rest on the ter
ritory of at least four hostile nations
and now they are resisting desperately
the efforts of their 'rejuvenated foes to
thrust them out. But the third year of
the war opens with the enemies of Ger
many considerably more powerful, rela-
lively speaking, than they were two
years ago, while the strength Of Ger
many, together with her allies, has been
sorely drained in putting forth the pro
digious efforts OF the first two years
There is a conviction that Great Britain.

the upper hand, so to speak. and are in
