BY Captain GEORGE L. KILr1ER.

TIME assassination on June %,
1914, of the Archduke Francis
Ferdinand, heir to the throne,
quickly resulted in the outbreak Of a
world war. When Austria-Hungary
pressed her demands upon Servia for
PREPARATION Russia championed the lit
tie Slav nation. Germany declared
that her Austro-Hungarian ally must
have a free hand in dealing with
Servia, and the storm broke.
The first two years of the war, from
August, 1914, to August, 1916, were
marked by the subjugation Of nearly
all of Belgium, part Of northern France,
all of Servia and the greater part of
Russian Poland by the German armies.
Russia conquered and then lost a large
slice of Austrian territory in Galicia.
Following the invasion Of Belgium in
AugUat, 1914, Great Britain and France
entered the war as the allies Of Russia.
The German march toward Paris.
through Belgium and France, was eff
f%ectually checked at the river Marine
early in September, 1914, and in the
weeks following the opposing lines i'll
France and Belgium were established
practically where they remained for the
next two years.
Italy entered the war in May, 1915,
and attacked Austria by land, east and
northeast of Venice. The first year of
the war saw the fall Of Warsaw and
the extension Of the German front to
the Dvina river, midway between War
saw and Petrograd. In 1916, the Sec
ond year Of the war, the Germans at
tackled with great force the French for
tress Of Verdun, but were unable to re-
duce it. This event was followed by a
concerted drive by the French and Brit
ish in northern France against the Ger
a lines along the Ancre and S0mme
rivers.
Throughout the first two years vari-
Gus local campaigns We're inaugurated
by the allies, notably for the capture
Of Constantinople the Turks having
joined the Teutonic powers late in
1914, with an expedition in MesQpo-
tamia to support it. The move against
the Turkish capital failed, and the
forces were transferred to Greece to
operate against the central powers in
the Balkans, where the Bulgarians
were fighting for Germany.
The greatest naval battle of the war,
fought off Jutland in May, 1917, was
6 draw, and the large vessels have not
taken decisive part in the progress of
the war. In 1915 Germany started a
system of drastic submarine warfare.
primarily intended to blockade the
ports of her foes. Belligerent and neu-
trail alike were made to suffer in the
submarine zones throughout 1915 and
1916, and an indirect result Of Ger
many's naval policy was the entrance
ofthe United States into the war.
Grounds For Allies Optimism.
Almost at the close of the second
year of the world wal the British
war minister, Lloyd George, speak
ing for the allies, said, Victory Is
beginning to flow in our direction"
1t had been flowing in all directions
whenever 1t flowed Mt all up to that
time. SO the third year of the conflict
opened with optimism ruling in the
camps of the allies. On the west front
at the end of July, 1916. 1t was as
sured that the French would hold on
Mt Verdun, that the German line on
the Somma and the Ancrc was not I'm

America In the War.

Two events of sudden development
in the third year Of the war may have
a deciding infuence-namely, the en-
trance Of the United States as an ally
Of the entente powers and the collapse
Of Russia's aggressiveness. During the
early months of the year the submarine
dispute between this co%untryaand Ger
many quieted down. A q boat brought
the. val into western Atlantic waters
by sinking neutral ships off Nantucket
shoals in October, but the German
pledge to safeguard neutral lives was
observed. On Dec. II Germany and
her allies, Austria, Bulgaria and Tur-
key, proposed peace negotiations, nam
Ing the United States as one of the
Intermediates. On the 18th President
Wilson sent II note to all belligerents
asking them to name their terms,
Meanwhile the allies replied to Ger.
