Of 1915 consisted, in essence, of the
furtherance of this scheme by con-

"By the winter of 1915 Germany
had gone long way toward realiza-
ton of its ambition and this point
represents to my mind the grand eli
macteric of Germany's offensive
power. All this time Great Britain
had been building up armies and with
the beginning OF 1915 we for the first
time had real army in the field
With the spring of 1916 Germany
had come to realize that the conquest
of Russia was impossible; Russia was
too massive to kill or crush. So the
German staff again turned on France
and the Verdun attack was the re-
suit.
Germans Lose at Verdun.
with the defeat of Germany at
Verdun came turning of the tide Of
which further manifestation was seen
in a successful British offensive. Pre-
vious British military efforts had
been, comparatively speaking, minor
operations or operations undertaken
in support of the French. At the
Somme we started our new work and
really great, important work it was,
although a great deal of the contem-
porarY effect Of the Verdun defeat and
Omaha daily bee., 1917-07-29

of the Somme victory was neutralized
by Germany's push into Rumania.
The Rumanian push, however, viewed
in true historical perspective, was
merely fash in the pan. The Ger
man military power already was on
the decline and its offensive strength
was nothing like what it had been
the year before.
The end of 1916 found the situation
between the two great groups OF con-
testants, about equally balanced, but
with the scales leaning slightly in
favor of the entente.
Third Year Situation.
"The year 1916 has presented a
still roster picture. During the whole
third year of the war Germany and
its allies have attempted nothing on
land. They everywhere have been
on the defensive. The Turks lost
Bagdad and the Sinai peninsula. On
Germany's eastern frontier, although
the Russian revolution enormously
weakened Russia's military power,
Germany was incapable of taking ad-
vantage OF the situation. On the
Austrian front the Italians got in
powerful blows. In the west the
British and French struck repeatedly
and the Germans have been powerless
to answer back.
This is the pitiful state to which
we have reduced the great power,
whose whole military gospel was
summed up in the phrase vigorous

out of the war before we get up mo-

"At present Germany is banking
on the U-boat. 1t hopes against hope
that the U-boat. will reduce the peo-
pie of the entente powers to the same
state of want, privation and suffering
which it has been enduring for months

be denuded of his whiskers will now
have TO endure the whiskers until
Monday or remove them himself. For

Cost Of Producing SUGAR

The cost of producing cane sugar in

In the United States is produced in
seven Of our western states, two Of
our southern states and our insular

WHY POPE FAILED
IN HIS PEACE PROPOSAL

The failure of the pope's peace pro
posal, and there can be no mistaking
the fact that it has failed, is not diff
cult to explain.
1t has failed because it sought to
prepare the way for discussion be-
tween two sets of nations which are
fighting a war on wholly different
bases.
1t failed, beyond all else, because
the alliance against Germany is pri
marily an alliance to prevent the de.
struction of civilization by force.
1t failed because, while the force to
destroy remained in existence and the
German will to use that force endured
mistaken, peace by negotiation was
necessarily impossible.
