Sword OF Germans
Must Be Broken

LONDON, Aug 4--Some OF the re-
views Of the war published today by
morning papers to memorialire the con
clusion OF three years OF the struggle
are epigrammatic, for instance, that
from Robert Cecil which says the
path to freedom lies through the Ger
man lines" Sir Edward Carson, min
istcr without portfolio says
The Germans unsheathed the sword !;
they must not be allowed to put it back
unbroken"
The editorials and reviews, though
firmly maintaining that victory for the
allied democraces /, absolutely as.
sured, that their strength is growing
while that OF the German allies Ia
waning, recognize that Germany re-
mains from military standpoint
economically and politically strong and
formidable and her downfall is hin
dered by results OF the Russian revo-
luton. Against the unques,ioned dis
astrous effect OF the destruction oI
Russia's offensive power, Is hopefully
set the entrance OF America into the
war which is welcomed not only from
material point of view, but as an i'm.
mense moral Endorsement OF the aim.
