In the prosecution of war, therefore,
relatively autocracy will be strongest
in the early stages, democracy In the
later stages and the time element will
favor the latter.
Therefore, we must expect the Teu-
tonic enemy to seek an early ending
of the war. This democracy must op.
pose, however harsh this prolonga-
ton policy may appear, unless autoc-
racy is uniformly successful in battle
and shows conquest and spoils COM

The forces of democracy working
within will gather strength with the
prolongation of the struggle. Count
Reventlow is quoted as saying with
out victory the German monarchy will

Foresecs Two Years of War.
Two years more of unconclusive
war would probably convert Prussia
and Germany into democracies 1t
will require at least that length Of
time for America and her democratic
allies to develop their full power for
use at the peace table as well as in
the field. Therefore as a basic policy
negotiated peace should not be con-
sidered before the winter of 1919.
OF course the Teutonic powers are
fully alive to the vital importance of
the time element. They sought a ne
gotiated peace last winter. They will
seek a negotiated peace at the end of
the season now opening and they VIII

This Is partly TO be expected, SO
the other factor Of allied counter

for separate peace free passage of the

Russia, Constantinople and posses

must now write her name across the
promise and make il a bond.

for much upon such assurances. The

visional government and might sacri-
flee the new democracy. whereas with
the restoration of peace the disasters
of the war would rest on the fallen
autocracy, and the provisional gov

it's position.
