Editorial Comment
on Current Subjects
sTRATEGY AND FATE,


From the Pittsburgh Gazette Times.
That the German armies cannot hope
to win a victory on the west front is
something more than a mere patriotic
assumption; it is q belief founded on
fact. Indeed, If study Of the war in
France, compels any conclusion, 1t Is
that the Germans have not been in a
position to defeat their enemy since
the retreat from the Marne. The de.
struction Of armies or parts OF armies
is still necessary to a victory OF arms,
in spite of the changes in methods OF
fighting to this end, the occupation Of
territory is secondary. A deeper con-
sideration OF the case indicates that
the German strategists put the occupa-
ton Of land ahead Of the destruction Of
soldiers, but that Is beside the point;
we may be satisfied, however, that the
tactics of the Ally command aim at the
wiping out Of enemy units primarily.
The military critic Of the Berlin
Tageblatt was reported last week to
have warned the German leaders they
must find some way Of defeating Great
Britain on land II they hoped to bring
the war to an end honorable for tue
Empire. That was, of course, an ad.
mission of two things; that no way had
been found to whip the British army
and that the submarine warfare
(Which, we recall, was to starve Eng.
land by July u Is a failure, Won Ar.
denne, the critic, goes on to hope that
the strategists will find way to force
Great Britain, through a series Of
mighty battles, to seek peace. But, he
insinuates, tactics different from those
In vogue now will be necessary.
Give the German machine credit for
all 1t has accomplished as machine,
is 1t not apparent that it has gone too
far in one direction to be. saved by sud.
denly turning in another? Is 1t not too
late for a saving tactical change?
There may have been a time between
the Battle Of the Marine and now when
military genius could have handled
the German armies in such a way as to
compel series Of battles favorable to
his cause. Nobody can name that time.
Students and historians may delight
some day in trying to select the period
Of German opportunity; the present
generation is satisfied to know the
period is gone.

ins nun bers 10 defeat the enemy n q
few months. We know now that It
went wrong because It did not eonstd'
Of EnEiAnd's entry as probable and dis.
counted her power too much. The
school Of thought that evolved this
war plot failed to consider all the pos.
sIbllities. and even when 1t saw Its
cherished theories failing refused to
discard them. II went blindly on with
this doctrine Of force until it had not
only wasted the power OF Its splendid
army against the fortresses OF Verdun
and the trench lines of the Aisne, but
bad made the name Of Germany abhor'
rent through trightfulness on the seas
and had brought in against II all the
great nations Of the earth, Had Proyi'
dence permitted q ray Of light TO pene'
trate the Prussian brain, showing him
bis error and counseling moditica'
ton OF his beloved plan to meet unfore'
seen events. Germany might have come
OF undefeated, And that would have
been q calamity.
The wonder Of this never-ceasing
battle in France and Belglun\is that
the German leaders do not see the fu.
tilty Of the struggle. They keep send
ing in regiment after regiment in furi'
Gus counter attacks against lost posi-
tons with the certain knowledge they
are sending them down to death. Sac
ritICe Of lives must always be in pro-
portion to the value of the object to be
gained. That is a principle not to be
ignored without disaster, as reference
to several battles of the Civil War
will show. BY ignoring this principle
the Germans are making It possible
for the Allies to destroy their armies.
One may argue that, setting store by
captured terrain, the Teutons revolt
from relinQulshing 1t without a desper-
ate struggle, but since the big Push"
OF July, 1916, which developed into the
Bottle Of the Somme, they have been
forced to give up territory and lives by
the thousands, too. So there is little
Of reason in their tactics.
II fate has so far been been on the
side Of humanity, there is no reason to
suppose mere change Of method
could bring a German victory. Provt.
denCe is benign. The various forces
atwork in the world have been bring
Ing peace and safety through the de-.
feat of militaris nearer since the war
began. We have not been able to see
1t always and there is an ever.diminish.
Ing number who still refuse to; but
the triumph Of the right Is inevitable
and mere shifting Of Teutonic armies
cannot prevent it.
