THE WEAVER.
ON THE ROAD TO VICTORY

n ORMER Ambassador Ger
ard, who should know
closely of conditions in
Germany, saws we cannot rea-
sonably hope for revolution
in that country. Nor can we
rely on Germany's being starv-
ed out. The war in his opinion
must be fought to conclusion
and it will be no easy task be-
cause the kaiser has IL million
men under arms.
What Mr.. Gerard says is
doubtless true. Yet even at
that there is no reason why 2
courageous people should feel
pessimistic over the outlook
England and France together
have more men under arms
than has the kaiser. England
alone claims more than seven
million. Thus on land the Ger
man autocracy is checkmated
without giving consideration to
the Russian, Italian or Balkan
forces-not to mention the
United States.
But the war is not going to
be won by man power alone.
The real vital factor that vii.
turn the tide hard against Ber-
lin will cosist in the superior
equipment of the allies, in food,
In munitions, ships and air
craft.
The fighting in FlanderG
again shows that the allies
have the ascendency in artil-
Iery and munitions. As time
goes on this condition is certain
to become more and more
marked. The ships we are con-
structing will offset submarine
losses and keep the allied natl
ons supplied with foodstuffa'
and war material. The 22.000
aeroplanes we are building
will be a mighty factor in end
ing the war. They will help
blind the enemy and will be
able to do offensive fighting OF
q most effective sort.
The cold truth is that diff
cult though the task may be
the allies are on the path to vic
tory. The kaiser is slipping
and he cannot stop the foe.
If he does not have to withdraW
from France and Belgium tlir
summer he will have to do 50
later. If he does not withdraw
his men will be buried under
the hail of allied shells.
The cause Of autocracy is
doomed and victory is but a
matter of time, of adequate
preparation and courageous
persistence. But there can be
no stopping until the job is
done. Peace now would be a
new lease of life for German
autocracy and further fighting
later. The only way is to clean
the slate and make the world
safe for democracy. That
time can only come when the
kaiser's power is shattered and
