Empires have two million prisoners who are for the most part set work. Germany and Austria also employ labor in Belgium, Poland and elsewhere to release more of their males for military service. Owing to the excellence of German medical science 9 higher proportion of wounded return to the ranks than at first inclined to think possible. Austria mobizes the vigorous types of up to 1N ana oVer and carries out for political as well as military reasons, especially drastic levies among the Sav populations of the Hapsburg monarchy.
 It is very obvious, therefore. that Germany and Austria may be able keep their armies the present figure up to the end of three years war, though after next winter the strain n-power will become very grim and the allies great oppor tunties will heave into sight But that regards numbers the central empires stay the course for three nearly, and if we acted on any other reckoning would find ourselves in d fools paradise.
 Another delusion which encouraged popular com pacency-perhaps ministerial satisfaction-was the obstinate belief that Germany would somehow be starved out by naval operations alone. That deuson also must be dismissed once for all The blockade causes the most loss and difficulty Germany and is an invaluable collateral aid to the allies but by itself 1t never can bring the enemy submission The central empires would only begin to be starved if in addition to the naval blockade, their great land granaries Hungary for instance were oc- cupied by the allies armies The German people are suffering in way they detest but to the degree that would make them yield the allies before they had begun to. experience actual military defeat Every serious economist amongst us knows it to be doubtful whether the mass of the German emperor's subjects are enduring hardshps than were withstood by our poor during the Napoleonic wars
 The truth about this matter be stated in two sentences. There is in Germany painful and grow ing deficiency of nice food There is and there will be sufficiency of dull food Let no further self deceivins sophistry on that score be tolerated amongst
 Since the foregoing written however there have been signs of developments pointing dmly to peace. There have been German and British utter ances in which desire for peace is recognized. It has been disclosed that though the Germans are limited to dull food the masses France are suffer- ing even for that, and that the latter country the process of arition has brought tha country to the last of its reserves Russia Great Britain could easily endure fourteen months of war But France cannot without supplies of men and food It IS not likely that the will be fought bv any of the other nations the point exhaustion but is likely that will peace long before the war has run three years.
