opinion get into the war again, can pro-
pose to accept the Russian proposal and
thus insure the support Of her allies and
not at all improbably bring Russia to the
point of making separate peace. This
firmly believe to be the German pro-
gramme. For the summer the Russian
revolutionists are to be kept in play; the
German elements at home who desire
peace on Russian terms, the Austrian and
Turkish allies are to be kept in the fight
by the promise of assured victory, by
glowing accounts Of the achievements OF
the submarine. But if all these hopes
prove vain, then Germany will, as winter
comes and the campaigns end, boldly pro-
claim the Russian proposal of peace with
out annexation or indemnity; when she
does this the Allies will have to wrestle
with the gravest crisis they have yet had
to face.
Allies Fundamental Purposes
For there are certain of the Allied pur-
poses in this war that are fundamental.
France is resolved to retake that portion
of her own territory torn from her IN
1870 and those populations who are now
German by force, not by choice. Italy is
resolved to liberate the Italians Of the
Trentino and of Trieste. Great Britain's
colonies, having removed the deadly peril
of German colonies in Africa and in the
Pacific, are determined that these old
rerils shall not be restored. Australia
would leave the empire rather than con-
sent to return to Germany of the islands
once the Kaiser's. South Africa, having
conquered German West Africa, long a
headquarters of plotting, will in no case
return the lands taken by Boer and Briton
alike.
We touch here upon the basis Of future
peril. Having renowned CoDstantinople,
having turned her back to her Slav breth-
rem in the Balkans and in Galicia, Russia
may demand a similar course on the part
Of France toward the people Of the Pays
Messin, and of Italy toward the inhabitants
Of the Trentino and Trieste districts. If she
does, then Germany, having adopted the
Russian policy, perforce, may be able TO
negotiate a separate peace with Russia
and thus break the alliance of her enemies.
Obviously this Is her second line Of action,
if she does not win the war in the field or
on the sea this summer.
If Germany proposes peace without an
nexation or indemnity this winter, then
she will expect, not unreasonably, to be
aided by certain fraction Of the people
Of France, of Great Britain, Of Italy and
of the United States. The question that
will be raised then will be whether the
peoples Of these nations are willing and
ready to bear the burden Of another year
Of war to obtain fair settlement Of the
cid questions of Alsace-Lorraine, Of the
Italian Irredenta and for Great Britain a
permanent abolition of the German men

BY far the most likely outcome OF the
present situation, granted that there Is no
collapse on the part of Russia or OF the
Central Powers, granted that the war
goes on until the end of the campaign, is
: new peace proposal emanating from Rus
sra or from Austria, or coming from Dotn,
suggesting the creation of new Poland
10 consist OF Russian Poland and Austrian
Galicia, a state which will be guaranteed
by Austria and by Russia. and possibly by
Germany. Such proposal would at once
Eliminate all question Of victory or defeat
IN the war. Russia would lose 50,OOO
square miles and 100000 people, Aus
tria 10000 square miles and S,25O,OOO, or
$4,000 square miles and 100000 souls If
Bukovina were included, and Bukovina
might very we'll be assigned to Rumanla
IN exchange for that Bulgarian territory
taken at the time Of the Treaty Of Bucha-
rest and retaken by the Bulgars last year.
Such q solution would erect between
Austria and Russia Polish state OF at
least 100000. nearly three-quarters OF
whom would be Polish. 1t would, to be
sure, Join TO the Poles at least 100000
Ruthcnians of Eastern Galicia, who
would not welcome the change with enthu-
siasm. Yet they have been at all times
dominated by the Poles Of Western Galicia
and their ancestors were included in the
old Polish kingdom. Between Austria
sad the buffer state of Poland would stand

For it is clear that if the submarines do
not win the war or demonstrate that they
can win it before December, Germany will
have to face another year of war with
American troops coming up and American
resources Joined to those of the Allies.
She will have'to face great actual and
greater prospective superiority in num-
bers, guns and munitions on the part OF
her foes; she will have to face blood tax
upon her population greater than any ma
ton has had to bear or will have to bear;
for as the British are taking portion OF
the burden off the French this year we
shall take our part next year.
To me it seems very clear that next De-
cember we shall have new situation.
We shall have Austria ready to make
peace with Russia on the basis that have
indcated-no indemnities and no annexa-
tons. We shall have Turkey, and prob
ably Bulgaria, in the same state OF mind.
We shall have Serbia exhausted and aban-
doned by Russia, with little hopaof realiz-
ing her old dreams. In word, we shall
have a situation in which, by renouncing
their own ambitions, the Russians will
have removed all occasion for war be-
tween themselves and three of the Ger
man allies.
Will Germany then run the risk OF los
ing her allies by insisting that they stay
in the war with her to their cost and her
possible profit? If she does the Allies
may we'll welcome this situation as insur-
ing break between Austria and Germany
and the escape Of Turkey, and probably OF
Austria, from the German domination. A
truly independent Austria would be gain
for the Allies that would actually mean
winning the war, were nothing else at
tanned.
Peace with Russia In December
But it seems to me German policy will
be quite different. BY December, If she
has not won the war or laid her hands
upon the prize, if she is not able to show
her population inevitable instead OF pro-
spective victory, it seems to me that Ger
MANY will have to listen to the proposals
of Russia, Endorsed by Austria, and to
proclaim her own readiness to accept
peace without annexation. Moreover, If
she does this, she can, in turn, hope to
profit by the disarray this may cause
among her foes.
To-day Germany is embarrassed because
she is not prepared to accept the Russian
proposal; she still hopes for indemnity and
for annexation. She is thus unable to
meet Russia on the basis that would lead
Russia to make a separate peace, she runs
the risk of letting Russia get back into
the war, and she is conscious Of the grow
ing determination Of Austria to have
peace on basis that now assures her In
tegrity and is obtainable.
Tomorrow, when hope may have van
ished, Germany, IL she has kept Rus
STA in play and not let Russian public

the wall of the Carpathians, and the men
ace Of Russian attack would be removed
or at the least much reduced.
AS for the Serbian problem, on the basis
of no annexations, it would find easy So
luton: unsupported by the Russians, the
Serbian dreams of Greater Serbia
would not long survive to keep con-
quered people in the war. Granted that
Russia and Austria We're agreed to make
peace without conquests, 1t would not be
difficult to assign to Serbia that window
on the Adriatic at Durazzo which was
won at the time of the First Balkan War
and denied by the Conference of London.
With gateway on the sea, with practi-
cal union with Montenegro, Serbia would
emerge from the war with economic free
dom. And to balance her acquisitions she
could afford to make peace with Bulgaria
on the basis of the agreement which pre-
ceded the First Balkan War and assigned
Macedonia south Of Uskub and Prisrend
to the Bulgar.
The Way to an End
Bulgaria on her part would acquire the
Silistria strip, taken from her by Ru-
mania, the Macedonian area included IN
the agreement with Serbia and the Kavala
district, assigned to her in the arrange
ments after the First Balkan War and
lost by her venture into the Second.
do not mean to forecast that all these
things are likely to happen. What am
low endeavoring to indicate is that the
principle enunciated by the Russian Revo-
luton and tacitly accepted by the Aus
TRANS offers no great obstacle to general
pacifcation in the Balkans and on the
eastern frontiers Of war. Granted that
Austria and Russia are ready to make
peace on the basis of no annexations and
no indemnities; granted that each is ready
to meet the Polish situation in the sense
of the other, that is, of mutual surrender
of territory, then the way TO an end Is
easy.
A great deal has been said lately about
the disappearance OF ISuSSid iioh 'hO ""i ,
very little about the withdrawal of Aus
tria. This is, in the main, because there
is a profound conviction that Austria has
lost her freedom of decision and is now
German vassal. But much of this subor-
dination to Germany is Enthusiastically due
to the fact that the Allied programme
calls for the destruction of Austria, and
thus there is left to Austria no course
save that based upon German assistance.
AS long as German aid is necessary to
save Austria from destruction there Is
small chance that Austria will change
sides or make peace.
But if Russia, and Russia is the real
peril, offers peace on the terms Russian
Revoutionists propose, terms / have indi-
Gated, will Austria still care to go on with
the struggle, which is daily destroying all
hone of an early rehabilitation Of the Dual
Monarchy and steadily carrying II nearer TO

economic ruin and political anarchy? The
Hungarians are certain to fight as long as
il is a case of losing Pennsylvania, if they
quit, and as long as peace means bringing
the Slav neighbor to the Carpathians.
But assured of the integrity of their own
kingdom and of the creation Of buffer
Polish state between them and the Rus
slams, will they not insist upon peace be-
fore their country is totally ruined?
1t seems to me that the Russian Revolu-
ton has opened some very interesting
speculatons that are not all signposts to
German success. Probably the Allied pur-
pose to destroy Austria-Hungary, to lib
crate the oppressed nationalities and to
erect a number of, small free states has
been destroyed by the Russian Revolution
and by the adoption by the Russian Revo-
lutionists of the programme of no annexa-
tions. But to what extent was this a
wise or sound purpose? Hungary and
Bohemia without seacoasts, German Aus
tria left fragment with frontiers join
ing Germany--would these be foundations
On which to build permanent peace?
On the contrary, if Russian Revolution
lists, by renouncing Russian ambitions,
make separate peace possible for Austria
Hungary and by renouncing Balkan ambi-
tons leave the Turk with no reason to
continue in the war, will they not have
dealt fatal blow to that Mitteleuropa
scheme of the Germans, and is it not likely
that Austria herself will find way Of
escape from German chains? Once as
sured of the end of the threat to her own
existence, will Austria-Hungary care to
continue the war to aid the Germans to
realize ambitions which menace the future
independence of Austria and bring no
promise Of immediate or even remote
profit?
Austria's Weakness
We see that Russia is now become the
weak link in the Allied chain; but ought
we not quite as clearly to perceive that
Austria remains, as she has always been,
weak link in the Central Alliance, while
Turkey, assured Of her existence, of the
safety of her capital, by Russia's renun-
citation, resumes her freedom to bargain?
Like Austria, she is no longer bound to
the Central Alliance by considerations of
life and death; like Austria, she is now
bound only by the prospect Of eventual
profit, and where is this to be found?
In sum, a policy Of no annexation is
now quite as satisfactory to the Austrian
as to the Russian. An independent Po-
land may soon come to have for Austria
the same character that it has for RUSSIA,
erecting buffer state between Russia and
Austria, disposing thus of 100000 slavs
and thus restoring the ascendancy of the
Magyar and the German in the Dual Mon
archy. This might easily seem safe solu-
ton of the war problems, and on such a
basis Austria and Russia might easily
make peace and their peace might easily

TRAP SHOOT LEAGUES
ARE BEING ORGANIZED
Linking Together of Gun
Clubs for Competition Be-
coming Nation Wide.

Competition in one form or another
has done more to poularize sport than
any other one factor.
1t is the spirit of competition that
adds zest to a contest and makes it
more interesting to participants and
contests between individuals and
] teams.
| A college football squad at practice
attracts very little attention, except
/ from a few loyal students, but on the
day of the Yale-Harvard game it is
almost impossible to buy seat for
the scrimmage. 1t is the desire to see
the strength and strategy of one team
matched against that of the other
which attracts the crowd.
The same principle applies to base
ball. 1t is the big league games that
attract the most people, because in
them competition is the keenest The
result of one game places the club
nearer the coveted pennant or further
away from it. Atho the clubs in the
worlds series for some years have
been of the east, just as much interest
is evidenced in the result thruout the
west.
1t is the battle for supremacy that
has been the incentive of contestants
In every match of skill or strength,
since the time of the old gladiatorial
contests. Every sport since has owed
It's success to some form of competi-
ton, and because Of this competitive

bered on the fingers of two hands. but
