sive of the war.
The third year of the conflict saw a
phenomenal German success in Ruman-
ia. The first retreat Of the Teutons
in Transylvania, followed by the ovSr-
whelming victory against the too-confi-
dent Rumanians formed series of cam
paigns that could have been conducted
only by military commanders Of large
skill and daring. Nevertheless, the
German victories in Rumania will ev-
entually prove to be one of the reasons
for the undoing Of German militarism.
Rumania Is complete collapse was the di-
rect cause of the Russian revolution.
If the Rumanian armies had been vic
torious and had retained their first hold
on Transylvania and had penetrated in
to Hungary, the Cars prestige would
have been increased and Czarism would
not have been overthrow. Hence, the
ultimate cause of democracy was better
served when the Rumanian armies were
annihilated than if the Rumanians had
won victories for the glory Of the Car.

Forced 70 Shorten Front.
On the western front, Germany was
compelled partly 10 shorten her de-
fensive lines during the third year Of
war, in order to eeonomize her man
power. This retirement was not wholly
successful. Scarcely more than sixty
per cent Of the German line has been
from its costly zig gag of en-
entertainments TO the Strengthened front
which retires into the reserve six
thousand soldiers for every shortened
mile Of front entrenehments. The Ger
man lines from Arras northward still
retain their useless convolutions. The
Germans have feared 10 continue the
Strengthened process there because Of

GERMANY.
BY J. w. T. Mason.

(Written for The United Press.)
New York, Aug. 3.-Germany 3 mil
itary situation at the close of the third
| year of the war is being shaped to meet
the new offensive of American troops
on the Western Front next spring. The
kaiser must heneeforth fight defen-
sive battle because of America S ent-
rance into the war; and he must hus-
! band his soldiers for use against Ameri-
ca s new citizen armies.
No seriously designed offensive that
would risk bringing large casualty los
ses to the Germans can heneeforth be
attempted by the kaiser except at great
peril to his lines when the main forces
of the United States begin to hammer
the western front. Germany must save
her soldiers to meet the American as
sault if there is to be any possible hope
Of the Germans retaining part of their
hold ON Belgium and Northern France
for trading purpose in the peace con-
ference.
This is the reason why during the
third year Of the war, the German gen
eral staff has feared to attempt a ser
ious offensive against the armies of
the new Russian democracy, weakened
by dissensions and threatened with
mutinies. The Germans might have bro
ken through the Riga front and perhaps
captured Petrograd last spring, but the
attempt would have been very costly
one, and Petrograd in the hands of the
kaiser would mot bring to life the dead
German soldiers when the American
troops start pressing the Teutons to-
