Germany. U-eoat Policy.

FROM the New Republic.
Lack of tonnage in any quarter Of the
world serves the purposes Of Germany.
One of the serious consequences to Ger

ment of German trade in neutral countries

the present this organization has remained
practically intact. It han had a diminish

organization Of Germany's competitors.
Through lack of tonnage and exorbitant
freights allied salesmen aye been pre-
the blockade of Germany. This il a point
that should not be overlooked when we

that can be quickly constructed without
reducing the amount of energy available
for other types should prove unable to

services IN other trade than that. Of the

1t is o early to forecast either 2
great disaster or a Russian rally. but
1t should be clearly recognized that II
Germany now possesses the troops n
the transport to press her great advan-
tage, which has come as the result OF
the Russian collapse. we may see all
Rumania occupied and German n
Austrian troops reach the Black sea
ports Of Russia.
Still Hope For Russia.
On the contrary. we may see a Rus
sian rally, either al the frontier or be-
hand it. which will restore the continue
ity Of the whole line from the Gulf OF
Rig to the Black sea- This may be
due entirely to a Russian rally, or It
may be due to the fact that Germany
n Austria now lack the reserves for
a sustained offensive necessary to
reach kiev or Odessa. We can only
recognize that n of the greatest dis
asters in military history has been
made possible by the collapse of the
Russian army in Austrian Galicia, and
it will probably be some weeks before
it will be safe to forecast the outcome.
My judgment is that there is lack
ing to the Germans n Austrians suf-
ficient reserves and material for such
a sustained offensive as is now called
for if they are to profit to the limit
from the Galician collapse. So far on
~ one Russian army has really broken
down. North and south the armies seem
to be retaining theic organization. Fur
Their south The Rumanian army, sup
ported by a Russian army, has actually
reconquered the Pennsylvania frontier
and won material victories. Whether
these will be sufficient to relieve the
pressure to the north or not is impos-
sible to say, but it seems hardly likely.
Henceforth the most that can be eX-
pected on the Austrian front by the
allies is that the Russian armies will
rally in time to preserve the continuity
Of their whole line and prevent the
complete conquest OF Rumania. If they
do this the Russian collapse may prove
of no great permanent effect. because
the Germans and Austrians had already
reduced their effectives ON the eastern
front to the minimum, and very few
troops are available to transfer to the
western front. unless Russia makes a
separate peace or utterly collapses.
l nave very often cautioned my
readers against false hopes rs to Rus
STA. We shall doubtless have man
more optimistic reports like those of
recent months. but the fac seems to be
that the Russian army has been totally
demoralized by the revolutionists and
the German agents, and that as a mill
tary element in the situation it canno
be counted upon for a long time-cer.

In my Judgment. We shall see an

clear demonstration of the superiority
now possessed by the British over the
Germans In every detail OF modern
warfare. But I do not think there will
be another French offensive until tho

AS to q German offensive in the west,
the defeat OF the recent effort Of the
