she can outlast them and maintain her
purpose. But she is ready TO offer rea-
sonable peace-regard being had merely to
the war map Of the hour and the proba-
bility Of the war map at this time next
year-to avoid the test.
II the response Of her foes to her peace
proffer is such as to enable the German
government to say 10 the German people
that the war must continue until Ger
many's safety is assured; if the Allied
response or the utterances OF the Allied
press give the German leaders chance
to say to the German people that the Al
lies are seeking TO destroy Germany, then
the net effect Of the peace prefer will be
TO still any demand at home for peace and
rally the people behind the government
And since the allies OF France have agreed
to support her claim to Alsace-Lorraine, it
seems likely that the opportunity to make
such declaration to their own people will
come to the German leaders.
AS have said elsewhere, do not be-
lieve the German offer of peace is a sure
sign Of weakness, that it is the first symp-
tom Of collapse, that it reveals German
realization that they have lost the war and
must conform 10 Allied Will. On the con-
trary, it seems to me, looked at from the
military standpoint, the prudent action OF
"a national leadership which has recog-
nized the limits Of possible profit and has
no desire TO incur great costs and grave
perils if they can be avoided by the re-
PROCESSION in advance Of what it is rec
ognized cannot now be held in any case
without endless war.
Examining the German military STRAIT
egy as il has unfolded in recent months, il
does not seem to me that it has been the
strategy of men who were expecting col
lapse. II has, particularly since the
Verdun blunder. more and more taken the
course Of strategy based on a realiza
tion that German and Central Power re
sources collectively were sufficient for tn,
performance Of a certain task and tina
this task was clearly outlined in the minds
OF the strategist.. All the German com
ment seems 70 me to mean now that Their,
is a realization that the period OF German
advance is over, bit that in this initial ne
Rod Of advance Germany has gained 81

the war into German and Austrian terri
tory by piercing these lines? And the
war must be carried far into Austrian
and German territory if the Allies are to
impose their will upon Germany; that is,
if thew are 10 reestablish Serbia and put
the Car in control of the Straits. The
German answer is that this cannot be
done within any time limit that 1t is pos
sible that the war can reach, or at any
cost in life that it is conceivable that her
enemies can pay.
The Germans. quite as well as their
opponents, recognize that there is every
possibility that the Allies will be able
next summer to push back the German
lines in France. They may even expel the
Germans from France and Belgium, west
Of q line from Antwerp. through Namur
TO the Verdun front. But this will not
bring the Allies into Germany, nor re
lease all Belgium. nor threaten the Central
European plan. At the close Of another
wear Of war. if the Allies stand at the
Meuse and the Scheldt, granted that there
is no German disaster, Germany will still
occupy strong lines far within enemy
territory and her retreat will have short
ened her lines.
II the Russians should make new ad-
vance in the east and take Lemberg and
the country east Of the Carpathians and
south Of the San, at cost equal to that
Of the last great offensive, Germany would
still hold Lithuania as counter balance
and could trade it against restoration
of Eastern Galicia and the Bukowina to
Austria.
The essence Of the German idea now
seem. TO be that the element Of time is
with the Central Powers and not with the
Allies. and in this they are in some de-
gree confirmed by the recent fall of a
British ministry. held responsible for
British delays. and the removal Of Joffre,
who has been the apostle Of Fabian tao
tics. 1t is now at last recognized by the
Allies that they have not all time and
eternity TO win the war in and that ques-
tons Of food and funds are becoming
pressing for them also. SO far. after two
years. every Allied effort TO break the
German lines on the Western front has
failed. a, had every German effort 20 brcss
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1916-12-24

the West front of the Allies. To-day the
Germans believe that France and Italy
will break before their own lines fail.
More than this, az a Hndenburg state
ment 10 an American correspondent the
other day indicated, the Germans believe
that the French will fight with less de-
termination hereafter when it is made
clear that Germany is prepared to return
all French territory when peace is made.
But, as Hindenburg said, if the French
care to continue fighting for what they
can have on application, Germany believes
that she can hold this at price that will
be prohibtive in French blood.
Satisfied that she has reached the maxi
mum or the approximate maximum Of her
military expansion, estimating her profits
in terms Of her resources, 1t would seem
from the military standpoint that German
peace terms would be based upon the as
sumption that exhaustion would oyertake
her foes before they were able either to
exhaust her or TO win military successes
sufficient to destroy the German plan and
impose their will upon Germany, TO the
extent of destroying the German concep-
ton Of a Central European State with
Western Asiatic dependencies.

Ccrmany's One Condition

The sole condition of peace that Ger
many now cares about is that condition
which permits her TO control Central Eu-
rope and to keep open the doorway to
Asia Minor, where she hopes to build
colonial empire comparable to those OF
France and Britain and hardly inferior to
that Of Russia. And il Germany can hold
approximately the lines she now occu-
MES If she can escape disaster and con-
quest. she will preserve this essential con-
dition.
Napoleon fell because he could put no
limit 10 his ambition. He conquered Eu-
rope. he extended the frontiers OF France
until they included the European seacoast
from the Vistula TO Cattaro; but there
was no point at which he would pause.
He exhausted France and aroused all
Europe against him. Yet even then ne
fell only because of his gigantic Russian
blunder. which destroyed his great army,
that army which he could not replace.
Germany is not undertaking to repeat
Napoleon's mistake. On the contrary. ner
peace move will eventually, il not imme-
diately, aim at separating the Allies who
are fighting her by making a peace that IS
,olerable and even favorable for all save
Russia and using the WEAKNESS OF war
and the possible suspicion Of Russia as
lever within France, Britain and italy

and the decision Of the Marine stood the

not think the Germans have any notion
now that they can destroy France or hold
any French or Belgian territory after the
war. and | am satisfied that they have

posals for peace are made at the outset,

Which Will Be Exhausted First?

And on the military side it seems TO
me that it is impossible longer to escape
the soundness Of German reasoning.
Granted that the French and British will
be able to clear France next summer,
save for the districts east Of the Meuse
between Verdun and Givet, together with
the woevre; granted that the half Of
Belgium may be freed In that time, con-
ceding that Russia take Lemberg, this may
modify German terms. as has been sug-
gested; but will il modify them so far a.

state she will necessarily be drawn back
to the German influence from which she
escaped only with the death of her old

Had In. troops that Britain sent 70

Greece would unouestionably have enlisted
for the Allies. Rumania would not nave
died IN vain when her moment 10 strlKe
came. and in due course Of time an over
wheming Allied army, such as rs now con-
tanned in Salonics and without any real
future use, could have taken the Straits.
And with the opening Of the Straits Rus

question Of the Allies would have been
solved. But, what is OF Importance now
there would have been final interruption

Victory Through Starvation

Tor the sake Of utter clarity further
limit my statement. Il seems to me that
Germany may he starved into submission.
| do not assert that this is possible or
impossible. because do rot have sufficient
evidence within my reach TO answer this
question. But if Germany is compelled TO
submit 10 Allied terms | believe It will be
lecausc of the blockade, with other eco
romic disturbances. In sense this would
represent a military triumph, and in this
sense | think an Allied military triumph
Is bv no means out of the question.
ON the other hand, am now convinced
that the Germans believe that they can
endure the strain of food and other short
ages until the time comes when WEAKNESS
and privation will force the Allies 70 make
peace Of negotiation and not Of conquest,
and that in this peace there will be as
sured to Germany and Austria supremacy
in the Balkans, predominance at the Oar
danelles and hegemony in Asia Minor. 10
nv mind. the Germans arc now stalking
everything on being able to hold out until
Inc Allies are willing TO abandon Serbia
70 her fate and thus leave open the Ger
nan road 10 the Near East.
Ever since the Gallipoli expedition ~
las been very clear 20 all military oh
eryers that the Balkans and the Straits
we're the real problems Of the future. il
las been clear that If the Allies could cut
the Belgrade -Constantinople railroad and
Isolate Turkey from her Central Power
allies they would win the war outright.
And the extreme Of Allied faulty Is found
in the fact that when the war opened this
ISOLATION existed and Serbia in two mag
nihcent campaigns repulsed the Austrian
effort 70 crush her and thus open the road
10 Turkey.
Thanks to the folly Of Winston Church
in. however. the Allies did not bend their
energies TO preserving this Serb barrier
until they could muster the necessary re-
sources to destroy the Turkish defences at
the Straits, but wasted their first reserves
Of troops, after the futile naval attack
upon the Gallipol peninsula, instead OF
sending them 10 the Danube TO hold the
Inc until the Allies were ready.

much enemy territory and such adyants-
