New York. Aug. s.--Germany's
military situation at the close OF the
third year OF the war is being shap.
cd to meet the new offensive Of Am
erican troops ON the western front
next spring. The kaiser must hence
forth fight defensive battle because
Of Americas entrance into the war;
and he must husband his soldiers
for use against Americas new citi-
zen armies.
No seriously designed offensive
that would risk bringing large casu-
atty losses to the Germans can
henceforth be attempted by the kais-
er except at great peril to his lines
when the main forces OF the United
States begin to hammer at the west
ern front. gy ~
This Is the reason why during the
third year OF the war. the German
general stan has feared to attempt
serious offensive against the ar
niles OF the new Russian democracy.
weakened by dissensions and threat
ened by mutinles, The Germans
might have broken through the Riga
front and perhaps captured Petro-
grad last spring, but the attempt
would have been very costly one,
and Petrograd In the hands Of the
kalser would not bring to life the
dead German soldiers when the
American troops start pressing the
Teutons toward the Rhine.

sricsn diplomatic relations and the

therefore. Of moving deeper into
Russia was too great to os under

Galicia at the close Of the third year
Of the war cannot be pressed far.
unless the Russian troops show COM
plete Generalization and practically
invite the Germans to move forward.
Any serious resistance by the Rus
SLAMS will quickly bring the Germans
to a halt; their troops must be saw
ed for the western front against the
time when America starts what will
be the final offensive Of the war.
The third year Of the conflict saw
phenomenal German success in
Roumania. Roumania's complete
collapse was the direct cause of the
Russian revolution. II the Rouman-
Ian armies had been victorious and
had retained their hrst hold on
,Transylvania and had penetrated to
Hungary. the cxar's prestige would
have been increased and csarism
would not have been overthrown
Hence. the ultimate cause Of dem-
ocracy was better served when the
Roumanian armies we're annihilated
than II the Roumanians had won
victories for the glory Of the czar.
ON the western front, Germany
was compelled partly to shorten her
