WHAT ENGLAND HAS DONE IN THE GREAT WAR

LONDON, Aug. 25 -- The Right Hon. Sir Gilbert Parker, Bart, NJ. F., whose services to the British cause have been notable in the field of pub licity in the United States, has made the following statement to the Asso- ciated Press on the European war:
 You ask me to make a statement upon the two years of war in which England, with her allies France, Rus sia, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro has been engaged.
 Three months ago the task would have been far more difficult than it is today. Since then Great Britain and France have moved forward on their fronts and with tremendous eff feet - but of that later. Also, dur ing that time Russia has moved heav- fly upon the troops of the central em- pire. and in the southeastern corner of the Russian front. has driven in. league upon league, the Austrian troops, has captured sector upon sec tor, city upon city. in the regions where Austria was dominant, and has made prisoners of 3O0,OO0 men.
 Over in Asia Minor, the field of conquest has been enlarged and de- veloped. Erzerum and Erzingan have been captured and other centers of Turkish authority have been taken. The renowned Von Hindenburg, up in the Riga district, has been driven back mile after mile, and Russian prowess has proved itself beyond question. Russian generals like Brusiloff and the Grand Duke Nicholas have estab- lished Russian positions weakened at the beginning of the war through lack of munitions.

They complained that France was left alone at Vcrdun and elsewhere. They did not realize that France knew she had at her disposal at any moment the British troops which were hold ing their own line of front and steadily extending it. They did not remember that al the beginning of the war Great Britain was armed on a basis of a mere handful of men; that all the ma chinery of equipment was upon basil of the handful, and that having men. men, men-a million or two millions she could not equip them because she had not factories or munitions except on the scale of d handful Men had to be recruited, fed, uniformed. ana equipped Artillery had to be devel oped and extended beyond all expert cnce of the past Rifles had to |. supplied And the one reason whs there was such delay in making . move on the western front by the British was lack of equipment Tn, push forward at Loos was not final and effective because there were moi sufficient munitions.
 But what is the condition of affairs today? There are enough munitions because big men have given their brains and skill to the task of organi. zation. Because the manual workers of England have reused themselves to a complete sense of duty; because they have given up trades union regu. lations for the period of the war; be cause without murmurng, they have thrown up their holidays; because hundreds and thousands of women have joined the munitions works and have entered into fields Of occupation formerly occupied by men, such as the

who can produce the most ore in each shift.
 With the limited amount of ground as yet opened up the mine is now pro ducing about 10 tons of this ore per shift, which is immediately sacked and sent down to the lower terminal of the tramway ready for transportation to the railway immediately snow falls and they are able to use the sleighs.
 The 100 foot level has also opened up a good body of ore between it and the 30 foot level. which ground they will commence to stope in the winter and from which it is expected to get some 15 cars of good shipping ore,
 The sinking of the vertical two com partment shaft will be carried on as fast as circumstances will permit, as when this reaches the lower ore bear ing zone at a depth of 600 feet the value of the mine should be enhanced to at least three times what it stands at today.
 From present appearances the com ing winter promises to be the banner year for the largest shipments of Mo. ther Lode ore and should the price of copper again go up or even main

wonder how Germany was stayed in her march of conquest. According to every rule she should have been in Paris at the time she herself appoint ed early in the autumn of 1914. She came very near it. What stopped her?
 She had left out of her calculations the strategical skill which belongs by nature to the French army, the French army from behind Paris and the con temptible little British army
 Tt is a remarkable thing that on the western front the only gains of Germany were achieved in the first few weeks of the war. These gains were of immediate strategical value to her. They included the mining and industrial districts of France and near ly the whole of Belgium, from which she has steadily drawn practical sup, port and again and again supplies The wonder is not that the allies have done so well, but that with all her preparations and her perfect arma ment, Germany and her obedient col leagues Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria have done so badly
 Apparently, at the beginning of the war everything was in their hands everything except one the British navy. If Germany could have mas tered her as she mastered Belgium and a goody portion of France, the war long since would have been over France would have been a third rate power under practical German con trol; Russia would have been driven back into her steppes and plains. once more the slave of German influence and control, and the British empire as we know it, would have become a

thing of the past. What the British navy did was to sweep German mer chant commerce from the seas. pre- vent Germany from trading with the rest of the world except by crooked methods, bottle up her fleet to use lessness, drive her south Atlantic fleet to the bottom of the sea and throttle and choke German export to an ex- tent that great cities like Hamburg have lost the hum of their activity, and outside the Baltic sea, there is no stir of Germany commerce. save in a freakish enterprise like that Of the Deutschland. Those. however, who count the work of the Deutschland as extraordinary should remember that it is not original since considerable number of British submarines have crossed the Atlantic during the last year safely and surely. It is not strange that the Deutschland accom-. plished its feat It will be very strange however if that feat is re. peated by many sister submarines.
 German foreign commerce cannot be rehabilitated by the activities of submarines Since the battle of Jut. land it can be safely and surely said that the seas are still controlled over. whelmingly by the British fleet The German fleet came out and then fled to cover again after a stiff fight.
 But now let us take the field of battle on the western front. For a while year or more. critics in the United States whose only idea of war. fare was that Of constant action, have continuously asked why was it Great Britain had recruited between 5000, 900 and 100000 men and should be doing nothing on the western front
