their opponents; it is also certain that
they have smaller reserves behind them
1t is not necessary to accept the extreme
estimates of German attrition, but 1t Is
fair to accept the fact that superior popu-
lation. wealth and reserves have long ago
given to the Allies the permanent advantage
in numbers in the field. 1t is doubtful if
Austria can now put more troops in the
field than Italy; it is certain that Germany
can no longer match man for man WIN

The Political Maneuvre.

But France has been compelled to en-
dure very rough attack. Italy IS endur-
ing another, which has threatened to carry
the war into the Venetian plain and at one
point has actually passed the Italian from
tier. We are. then, approaching a crisis in
German strategy. Within a month at the
outside it is fair TO assume that Russia
will be able to make some sort OF ef-
fort annroximating what was expected
Of her when the plans for general Of
fensive were made in Paris last winter. As
for the British, they have had no serious
lighting since last October, and they may
te reckoned to be as ready as they prom
lsed to be when the plans were made.
New-York tribune., 1916-06-11

Yerdun is no longer a fortress and has
no value itself.
Very frequently one hears in German
quarters that the Allied spring drive has
been prevented by the Verdun attack.
There never was any intention on the part
of the Allies to attack in the spring, for
the simple reason that Russia could not he
munitioned. A year ago Germany at
tackled Russia in the spring, and Russian
lack Of munitions partly contributed to
the great Russian defeat. Nowhere in
Europe did hear a suggestion that the
Allied attack would come before July, and
it was often postponed. even to next year.
New-York tribune., 1916-06-11
The Military Aspect.

Nearly two months ago, on my return
from Paris, l outlined the political rea-
sons which are based on the German belief
that France is exhausted and almost ready
TO accept a separate peace.
But the military aspect is even more In
teresting. We have all assumed that some
time this wear the Allies were to break out
in q general offensive, a concentric attack
upon the Central Powers, made on all
fronts simultaneously. The conferences Of
the Allies in Paris have all been reported
as discussions of a combined military ef-
fort Such an effort must recall to Ameri-
cans the strategy Of Grant, when at last
he took command of all the Northern ar
mics

German Strategy.
cradle.

Such a concentric attack as the Allies
have planned would then be fraught with
very real danger for the Central Powers
It might fail, but if it could be prevented
such prevention would be wise strategy
Now. it will be noted in all that their
critics say in the recent days that the Ger
mans assert they have prevented this gen.
eral and simultaneous offensive. Not only
this. but they assert that they have pre-
vented it by their Verdun operation ms
assertion the Allies meet with general
denial.
But it is clear that the real purpose oil
German strategy, if the signs have been
correctly read, is to prevent the general
attack not by so great blow Of their own
like last years attack on Russia-as 10
make an attack impossible (for they have
no such Blow but rather by ok
erting such great pressure on one section
New-York tribune., 1916-06-11
German Failure.

Unless there is some explanation so far
successfully hidden from all observers,
this German attack upon France must now
be reckoned as a failure wholly analogous
to that at the User and Ypres. 1t has
gained no ground Of any value or any con-
siderable extent; it has not inflicted losses
on the French at all equal to those borne
by the Germans, and it has neither broken
French nerve nor provoked a premature
Allied attack. It's sole result to date has
been the purchase of few square miles
of French territory, the capture of some
French prisoners, perhaps 10000 wounded
and unwounded, and a number Of guns.
The total French loss may be 100000
It is not more-and the German is not
less than 100000. On this basis France
can afford to sell the Germans more square
miles of French territory for another
month or two, until the great attack comes.
When this attack does come, if II comes,
the British will have to bear a share OF
the cost based upon the French sacrifices
now. They will have TO do more than was
originally planned before the Verdun op-
Grafton; less will be asked of the French.
Rut British reserves in men are far greater
than French, and. while France has seen
her reserves reduced with the German,
there has been no reduction in British and
Russian reserves, and the balance is
against the Germans.
New-York tribune., 1916-06-11

would be fairer measure, and unless
they destroy the French troops before
them and break through the lines behind
Verdun before any reserves can be brought
up they will have achieved nothing OF
military value, save only as they may
have killed more French soldiers than they
have lost themselves, and so far 1t is
perfectly conservative estimate that they
have lost 100000 more than the French
More than year ago the French, after
a brief success, were driven south of the
Aisne east of Scissors, but there never
was the smallest chance that the Germans
could push their success further, and at
this point they were eighty miles nearer
Paris than they will be in Verdun and
there were fewer obstacles in their way
You cannot find any military reason to
support the German strategy in the Yer
dun campaign, after the first attack, which
is not, in fact, political. You may take the
simple explanation that the Germans be-
lieve the French are almost exhausted,
running short of men and Of courage, and
will presently abandon the war II they
continue to lose without reganing French
territory. You may take the less simple,
but not less appealing, explanation that
the Germans have tried at Verdun to exert
so much pressure as to provoke the Allies
into a premature offensive, thus destroy
ing the chance Of combined attack later;
there NAV be some other political con-
sideration that no one knows, a desire TO
give the German people a victory or
fear to abandon the attack, having sacrl-
