WHO SHOULD ENLIST

The wisdom of Aaskans enlisting for the war IS a subject for general discussion these days. It is conceded that there are no more men in the territory now than are needed for the various development projects under way Also that the copper fish, coal and gold mined in the ter ltory comprise war supplies of mestmaoe value to the nation
 With this situation in view it is self evident that those actively engaged in Alaskan development are oI more val ne to the country here than in the army.
 Young men not engaged in vacations of particular value to the territory however, cannot do better than to answer their couutyy's call

New-York tribune., 1917-07-29

We have here. then, the measure of the
year of war. First of all, grand concen-
trio attack upon the Central Powers, begun
hv the Russians in Volhyrfia and Galicia,
taken up by the British and French at the
Somme, carried on by Italy at Gorlzla,
and brought to a final climax by new
Russian efforts in Galicia and the Ru-
manian invasion OF Pennsylvania. Then
followed the shining triumph of the Ger
mans in Rumania. Not only had they es-
capped deadly peril on all fronts, but in the
moment of their greatest danger the Ger
mans had levelled fatal stroke against
a new foe.
The Allied offensive Of 1917 was
changed in its character, if not prevented,
by Russias collapse. We have not vet
seen and we may not see such a general
attack as came last year. We may see
a perpetuation of the calm until the new
campaign of 1918, when newly organized
American armies and reorganized Russian
troops may be available. Or we may see
one OF more iihS -hi "S
and the third Ypres. But despite Russia's
return to the charge, it seems to me un-
likely that there will be repeated the ef-
forts of last summer to beat upon every
front at the same time. 1t must be rec
ognized that were peace to come to-day
on the map of Europe the German victory
would be unmistakable. Provinces, prin-
cipalities, cities, swept into the German
lap in the campaign of 1914 and 1915,
remain there still. Even the British Of
fensive which rewon Bagdad and wiped
out the mess of Kut-el-Amara has only
touched the fringe OF Germany's Nit
teleuropa. Another British army, at the
door of the Holy Land, is still but a re-
mote threat. From Antwerp and Brussels

A Military Victory Still Possible if the United States
and Russia Play Their Parts-Prospects
of the Coming Year

and Bremen to the marches Of Jerusalem
and to the upper reaches of the Euphrates,
the German will prevails.
The campaign of 1916 was an effort
to break down the walls of the great Cen
trail European empire which Germany
and her allies had constructed. As such
it was a failure. AS such the campaigns
since have been failures. The edifce still
stands, and if the submarine threat, which
was to bring Britain to her knees in three
months, has failed too, one must at least
confess that the hope of starving Ger
many has again been postponed another
year, and whatever the extent Of the new
harvest Germany has at least lasted to it.
Possibilities Of the Future
There remains the question whether the
Germans will now content themselves to
evacuate the conquered lines-to return
to the conditions of 1914-or whether they
will insist upon preserving their Middle
Europe. With Germany in possession
of what Germany now holds the Allies
cannot make peace. Any peace would
be but a preparation for a world domina-
ton by Germany. The military problem
of the campaign of 1918 is unmistak-
able. 1t must be to break in the dikes
erected about this Central European en-
pire. Failing this, it must be to apply
steadily and increasingly such pressure
on the outside that the demands for peace
within shall rise until they can no longer
be silenced. That Germany is war weary
no one can doubt. That Germany is so war
weary that she is prepared now to sur
render her conquered lands and that she
il also prepared to surrender Alsace-Lor-
raine, indemnify Belgium, give over Ger
man Poland seems to me unlikely in the
extreme.
Actually, the German General Staff set
forth for itself in July and August, 1916,
the task of holding through, and one is
obliged to recognize that, however terrible
the strain, on August /, 1917, the Ger
man is still holding through. Nor can
one mistake the gravity of the new sub
marine war. Germany has been wrong
in believing that after three months OF
unrestricted submarine warfare England
would be brought to her knees, but there
are few naval experts who believe that
if the submarine ravages continue unre-
stricted England can fight much after
October, 1918, or fail to make peace by
negotiation within a brief period after
that date.
For myself, am satisfied that we are
entering into the last year of the war;
We may have military decision between

a minor effort on the part of Sarralr
army from Salonica, which did, in fact,
reach and pass Monastir, but there 1t
stood and still stands. All hope and possl-
bility that the Balkans had held out for
the Allies in 1914 and 1915, and hnaliy
in 1916, when Rumania came in, had
now vanished. Rumania and Serbia,
which had allied themselves with the enc
mics of Germany, were in ruins, Serbia
totally in the hands of the enemy, Ru-
mania for the greater part, and little Mon
tenegro shared the Serbian ruin. Bull
paria had decided for the Central Powers,
and her armies now occupied provinces
torn from her at Bucharest, and, in addi-
ton. lands long coveted. In Greece all
that the King could do was done for Ger
many. A Greek garrison surrendered
Greek cities and Greek provinces to the
Bulgar, and King Constantine contemplat-
ed a blow in the rear against Sarrails
army at Monastir.
It was at this time that Germany,
choosing her moment with supreme skill,
proposed that there should be peace, open
ing the way to an end of the conflict
which should not be improbable for her.
But this German offer was rejected. The
Allies returned to the war, having clearly
foreshadowed a determination to fight on
until the Mitteleuropa that Germany had
created from Berlin TO Bagdad and from
the Meuse TO the Dwna was destroyed.
Failing thus to achieve her end by ne
Rotiation, Germany had recourse to her
last remaining weapon, the submarine.
She was now outnumbered In Europe on
every front. She was outgunned in the
West. Her material resources were

of the Spanish Succession Louis XIV faced
the great coalition under equal disadvan-
tages and managed to avoid the partition
of his country and to achieve peace with
cut indemnity or annexation. II the Ger

autumn they may be able to do the same
thing. Whether they will be able to do
this or not depends very largely upon the

And in June we had new British OIL

success. retaking all the heights vital
70 the defence of the German lines as they
existed and necessary to the Allies as the
basis for a new offensive. Seven thousand
prisoners and many guns-a quick, smash
inc triumph accomplished with the accu-
racy of an engineering experiment. Ihls
was the third Battle of Ypres and this was
the final demonstration of British supe
riority over the German-a superiority no
longer questioned, but not yet sufficient
to overcome the advantages Of the defen-
sive in the endless lines of trenches and
the enormous amount Of machine guns
which the Germans had prepared.
On the French Front
Turning to the battle between the
French and the Germans, the picture Is
not the same. When the present war year
opened the French before Verdun were
standing almost in their last ditch. Vaux
had fallen in June, and the Germans had
reached the ditch of Souville. A little
further gain, and it seemed as if, after all,
Verdun would terminate in German
victory.
The Allied offensive at the Somme In
July prevented this, but it was not until
August that German pressure at Verdun
began to fall off, and in October and No
yember two French offensives retook
Douaumont and Vaux, cleared the circle
81 hills and regained the vital ground
lost in February and March Of 1916. De-
cember saw the finish of the Verdun cpl
sode. A great victory had been won.

After the revolution Russia long lin
gered in the throes of social agitation and
domestic disorder. 1t was not until July
that there was sudden righting, and a
Russian offensive, first north and then
south of the Dniester, revived part
but only a part-of the glory of 1916.
The Allies, who had expected nothing, re-
ioiced at a Russian victory, but even as
it perceived the greatness and the moral
value of the Russian offensive, the entire
opinion of the world recognized the diff

$4,000 prisoners and many guns, and the
victory brought the victor, General Nivelle,
to the attention of the world. Joffre was
visibly weary, and in due course of time
he took the role of Marshal of France,
and Nivelle succeeded him as commander
in chief. Nivelle's success at Nerdun
raised hopes that he would be able to ex-
pand this success on wider front
France, so long weary, looked forward
to the campaign of 1917 with much ex-
pectation.
This expectation was not realized. The
French offensive, beginning on the 10th
of April, was one of the most cruel dis
appointments of all to the French people.
Important ground was brilliantly taken.
Nearly 10000 prisoners, more than 100
guns of one sort or another, were captured.
But the casualties were terrific, and the
impossibility of sweeping advance was
soon recognized. Nivele and Mangin had
expected to enter Laon, but nine miles
from Laon their advance was checked.

Brimont still holds out. They had planned
to disblock Rheims, but thousands of shells
are falling each week into the martyred
city.
The result was another staff change.
Petan came back to command the French
army. The French army passed from ;he
offensive to the defensive, and the French
people sat down grimly to endure another
disappointment and another winter Of
war. BY the first of July the French
dead numbered million; the dead and
those permanently eliminated from the
firing line passed two millions, and one
could say that upward of third OF the
man power of France had been used up.

shrinking at home. Her future economic
prosperity was being doomed as one ma
tion after another entered the coalition
against her and became participants
equally in arrangements that would last
after the war. On February l Ger
many announced that she purposed to
sink all ships, with exceptions that were
only ilusory and, for the United States
humilating. The German decision meant
one thing. 1t meant that the Germans
believed that only by one method could
thew win the war. They could no longer
win it by military decisions, although
they might be able to hold their lines for
long months, perhaps for years. 1t meant
that, the power of the offensive on land
having passed away from them, they
would have recourse to an offensive on
the seas.
Hardly had the German decision been
made when Russia was temporarily elm
mated from the war by an internal revo-
luton which shook to the very bottom all
her social and military organizations, and
the entrance of the United States into
the war on April 6 could not seem to
the Germans to be counterpoise for the
retirement Of Russia.
German Hopes
In April of this year Germany could
again expect, if not the triumph looked
for at the beginning of the war, il not
the decision expected at Verdun, still
substantial victory following a separate
reace with Russia and preceding the time
when the United States could arrive with

timism, in the midst of misery, based up
on the hope held out by the submarine
programme and by the prospect of sepa-
rate peace with Russia.
What has happened since we all know.
AS the campaigning season approached
and the German army was forced to re-
tire from Arras to Scissors, giving over
the ground threatened by the British and
the French offensive at the Somme-
threatened primarily by the expansion Of
the British lines and by the never ending
intensity of British artillery pounding
we saw at last an actual and considerable
change on the Western front. Nearly
a thousand square miles of French terri
tory were evacuated, and there was

since the Marne.
