On the military side the defeat Of Ger

as anything in the future can be, if the
war is continued for another campaign.
The greatest German retreat since the
Marine has already been made practically
inescapable, either this fall or next spring.
with the date depending upon the weather
and not upon German efforts.
In the history Of the world war 1917
may not impossibly have the same value
that 1864 had in the history Of our Civil
War. On the map and in the mouths Of
disloyal Northerners the Civil War then
seemed deadlock. The Richmond news
papers trumpeted forth claims identical
with those that come from Berlin to-day.
Yet 1864 broke the back and the heart of
the Confederacy. The South had not the
men to replace its losses in the bloody
battles from the Rapidan to Cold Harbor
battles far less satisfactory TO Grant
than British struggles this year must be
to Haig. Germany shows equally clear
evidences of failing man-power and de-
caying material strength She has lost
much, won nothing and talks peace with
ever growing passion. This is her mill
tary history in 1917. If one could bring
ones self to read what the Germans fore
cast before the war for their armies, the
extent Of the disaster would not be hidden.

claim is being supported by many thought
less writer's upon the military situation OF
to-day. Just as the last ditch OF the Con-
federacy before Richmond was heraided
Nv Southern writer's and bytheir Northern
dupes as "impregnable" The same sort
of nonsense is being talked now, and Ger
many will turn it to her advantage little
later.
The truth is otherwise. Germany Will
have to retreat in the spring, If she
escapes the necessity this autumn because
of the onset of bad weather. When she
retreats the world will perceive that she
has lost the war. There will be no fur
Their possibility of concealing the fact, be-
cause the retreat will be so considerable.
But for the winter, if she can hold on,
Germany will have show OF an argu-
ment for her assertion that the war Is
homeless deadlock and useless slaughter
that can end only in stalemate. Actually
her appeal will be made to the paclfists,
the weakened and the disloyal in all
countries fighting her.
We are seeing one of the greatest cam
paigns of human history; we are seeing
the fight between two great races. What
the Germans hoped would come eventually,
but not until they had disposed of their
Continental rivals first, has happened;
Briton and German are fighting contest
surprising the Napoleonic drama, and in
this struggle the German, already weak
ened by his struggle with the French, is
losing surely, if slowly. The British army
has now taken over practically the whole
offensive task in the West. France did her
work at the Marine in 1914, at Verdun in
/ 1916. Britain began at the Somme last
year, still aided by the French, but now
she has arrived and is carrying on until
that hour when, if necessary, our millions
shall arrive to relieve her.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-21
British Superiority

Every comparison that one can make
between the achievement of Haig's army
this year and last demonstrates the enor-
nous improvement that has been made.
Last year the British began at the Somme
with green army; their artillery was but
little trained; they had men, munitions,
machinery, but they did not have ma
chine. When they finished this battle,
which was, in fact, training school, they
had the machine, although they had paid
dearly to assemble it. At the taking Of
Beaumont Hamel last November the Brit
ish demonstrated that they were superior
, in men, guns and aircraft; they had wrest-
ed the superiority from the Germans
hand; he has not regained 1t.
This year the British began where they
left off a year ago. The German had
abandoned his old style of defence. The
Somme had doomed the defence based
upon huge redoubts, deep dugouts and
similar works. The Somme had proved
that these could be destroyed at greater
cost to the defender than to the assailant.
Therefore the German had recourse to a
new system. He held his front by light
works, concreted shell craters, little ma
chine gun shelters; he put few troops in
the front line and counter attacked vigor-
ously when the British advance had slowed
down.
But this method has failed, too. To-day
the British are getting on more rapidly
than they ever did at the Somme. The
elastic" defence has gone the way Of last
years system. The British have got the
Messines- Passchendaele Ridge, as they took
Albert Ridge; they are approaching Rou-
lers, as they approached Bapaume. Only
the weather remains the sure Teutonic
ally; bad last autumn early,'it Is worse
this year even earlier.
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-21
Our Turn in 1919

The British army is at its best this
wear; it will be little weaker next year,
but thereafter its decline will be rela-
lively rapid, as its losses exceed its re-
serves. Next year the United States
can do little less than the British did in
1915, much less. But in 1919, if the war
reaches that year, we shall be able TO
deliver the knockout blow, replacing the
British as they have this year replaced
the French. Next year it will still be the
British who will have the heat of the day,
but our contingent will be growing, and its
aid to France, comparatively small though
it will be, will give the French a greater
reserve than the Germans can possibly
have in 1918.
Meantime no one should make the mis-
take of judging the results from the map
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1917-10-21
Confession of Failure

Now, as last year, the Germans are
plainly making a desperate effort to hold
on until bad weather ends the campaign.
To retreat now, to make such retreat as
they would have to make if they were
turned out of Lille, would be to let the cat
out of the bag; it would be to disclose their
defeat on that map Bethmann-Hollweg
once talked about This retreat would
abandon some six thousand square miles of
Northern France, three-quarters of what
they hold, together with three or four
thousand square miles Of Belgian terri
tory. Last spring they gave up only
thousand square miles, and were able to
explain this, after fashion, as strategic
retreat. No such explanation would do for
q retreat behind the Scheldt and the
Mouse; this would be confession pure
and simple.
Germany is planning a peace campaign
this winter. She hopes to be able to assert
that the war has become a deadlock and
that her lines cannot be pierced, although
at the cost Of great losses they may be
bent back here and there. Precisely this
