Vienna, May 5.--The Neue Fre:e
! presse discusses the peace prospects
! from all angles and comes to the con-
clusIon that the war could be ended
az once II England, supported by the
United States could be brought TO
her knees.
"As long as Great Britain is able
To continue the struggle peace will
nCi come" the paper says. Russia
may drop out and Italy also, but the
hght will go on, because France will
not dare to conclude separate peace
and England is more firmly resolved
20 crush Germany than ever Counting
OF the inexhaustible resources Of
america, the British statesmen and
army leaders believe themselves an
'su!u;cly sure OF victory.
England would actually feel re-
lievtd If Russia, Ruman'a, Serbia ahn
Italy would quit. because these ex-
h6lstcd countries l-vc become
heavy burden for h and can give
'itilt or no military I'd for a long

THE Central Powers knew this,
but military necessity was the de-
Gliding factor. Whether the step
taken was wise or not the future
must show. If England can be
brought to the verge of starvation
before the United States is able to
take part in the war on a large scale
the Central Powers will dictate the
peace terms. Many months will GER
tainly pass before America can do
more for England than she has been
doing during the last thirty months,
and in the meantime the submarine
war must be continued with undim-
inished energy.
Great Britain will be ready for
peace If her shipping during the next
three or four months can be reduced
so that it will not even be sufficient
for her own needs.
LAS far as southern and eastern
Europe is concerned the end of the
war is insight. The Russian revo-
luton is working for peace, altho ii
was brought by England for jnst the
opposite purpose. When the badly
crippled Russian clossus quits. Ser
bia and Rumania will also try to get
the best conditions possible. and
there is reasonable hope that Italy
may do likewise, but We have to
reckon with the possibility that the
submarine war will not prove as sue
cessful as expected, and that England
can not be starved out.
Anglo-Saxon Rule.
rim this case the world war will
develop into fight to a finish be-
tween England and America on one
side and the Central Powers on the
other. How this struggle would end
it is impossible TO say. but one thing |
is certain, if England and America |
should win out it would mean Anglo |
Saxon rule over the whole world. |
Every country on the globe would !
become vasal of the
alliance, despite ali |
the high-sounding talk Of the rights
Of the small nations. This Anglo
Saxon hegemony would probably last
for a very long time, and certainly
until Japan with the aid of Russia
md China, felt herself strong enough
