atrocities that have been visited upon these
countries The Allies all along have asserted that
they were not fighting merely for the destruc-
ton of Germany but for the eradication of the
false principle upon which the German state
rests, and that they look upon themselves as
agencies for the vindication of justice and the
establishment of righteousness. The Allies,
without arrogating to themselves power which is
not theirs, constitute tribunal which will ad-
minister justice for Germany's crimes
Germany has been hard and relentless in her
punishment of the nations that crossed her path.
She has been vindictive and cruel. Never has
she exhibited mercy and loving kindness AL
ways have force and retribution been the prin-
ciples of her conduct. She has set these up as
her own statements.
Fichte says: ITO compel men to state of
right, to put them under the yoke of right by
force, is not only the right but the sacred duty
of every man who has the knowledge of power"
Karl A. Kuhn asserts: ''The might of the con-
queror is the highest law before which the con-
quered must bow"
X. +. Wolff argues: Conquest in particular
is always function of the dominant race. The
principal thing for the conqueror is the out
spoken will to rule
These are only few citations from 'Con-
quest and Kultur," but they indicate plainly that
the Germans believe in the right of the victor to
impose conditions that will safeguard his inter
ests. If this is the belief and theory of the Ger
mans, why should they complain if the Allies
remove forever the danger of mtarism, bar
barism, and the Hohenzoern house, factors that
are inlmical not only to the peace of Europe but
to the safety of civilization?

arrival OF the American reinforce
ments.
we know how nearly successful this
new phase of the besieged-one due
ultimately to his new suoerioritv in
numbers-proved The new instru-
ment first came into play against the
Italian sector at Caporetto. 1t came
within an ace of breaking that front
altogether and raising the siege. The
great sortie only just failed to accom-
plish its purpose. It was checked at
last upon the uncertain lines of the
Piave
The next use of the new instrument
was even more formidable, 1t struck
on March q, of this year, between
Arras and st. Quentin against the
British army with the object of sep
arating it from the French and break
ing the siege wall here for good.
Once more it all but succeeded. On
March % there was clear Break
through and rapid retirement, in
volving the loss of over 100000 pris-
oners, 1000 guns and the destruction
of the whole army to the left of the
gap between the French and British
which was closed only at the very
ie~St ny TIC rival OI lEtSu
reserves, and on April 4, the action in
which the Germans failed showed
that their line had rejoined. This was
by far the most critical moment of
the war.
When the full breakdown OF the
last German attack came on July IS,
and Fochs counter attack on July IS,
the face of the war numbers changed,
but they are not yet equal in the
west. But the Americans are arriv-
ing with extraordinary and quite I'M
expected rapidity, and the tide will
turn briefly. What remained to be
seen was whether the allied armies,
when this superiority of numbers
should be theirs once more, would be
able to do what the enemy had tried
while he had the advantage and failed
to do.
He had never quite broken the
siege wall in his great sorties, not
even on March %. Would the allied
armies in the west prove more cap
able and succeed in effecting the
break in his works? That was the
problem of this late summer and au-
tumn. 1t has been solved. The breach
was made Tuesday. Oct. 8, by the
British armies with the American con-
tingents between Cambria and ST
Quentin, and rather nearer the for
mer than the latter town. The eff
fort took two days 1t was complete
Iy successful by the evening OF the
second day, Wednesday, and by
Thursday the magnitude of the event
appeared.
The whole German line was COM
oelled to a general retreat, which ex-
ended from the sector in front of
oouai right down to the Argonne.
Where that retreat is to end neither
xe nor the enemy can tell. He can
lot retire indefinitely for this reason:

MEMBER OF THE Associated PREss


Germany certainly does not believe that the
kAllies will treat her as if she were some head
strong child guilty of an insignificant infraction
of household rule. Her leaders and people as
suredly do not entertain the delusion that her
bloody crimes against civilization will be con-
doned and overlooked.
Her own treatment of the peoples she con-
quered is a strong argument against soft mercy
and easy terms. She not only assessed heavy
fines against conquered towns and districts, but
also looted the palaces of the rich and the cot
tages of the poor. Frightful brutalities were
visited upon the residents of the conquered dis
tricts for petty offenses against the military re-
gime or for fancied resentment against the Ger
man invasion.
In reply to every protest of the nations from
the violation of the Belgian treaty to the sack
ing and burning of French and Belgian cities in
the present retreat, Germany has had one ans
wer, military necessity" She condoned her
aerial bombardments of London and Paris, her
torpedoing of hospital ships, and her Smelling of
plainly marked Red Cross hospitals with the
same excuse. 1t is interesting to note, however,
that she asked for the cessation of aerial bonn
bardments just as soon as allied aviators began
TO shower bombs the Rhine district cities
One taste of her own medicine was all she could
stand
And now, when her whole military establish
ment is going to pieces, and the occupation of
German territory is imminent, she is making an
eleventh hour deathbed effort to stave off the
inevitable consequences of her moral delinquent
ces. She reminds one of knave and rascal who,
after cheating, browbeating and assauting people
all his life, asks for cessation of punishment
when his former victims finally catch him.
Germany cannot expect England, France and
Belgium to forget and forgive the frightful

II T is characteristic Of all siege op-
erations that their course is mo-
notonous save for a few crisises,
that seem interminable and suddenly
there comes to issue things which
surprise the principal actors in the
drama, let alone the spectator. 1t is
another characteristic in such opera
tons that the conclusion, when it
does come, is tremendous on the mill
tary side. The end of the siege
nearly always brings either triumph
of the garrison expressed In raising
the siege, or in favorable terms Of
compromise, or 1t means the complete
elimination Of the garrison as a fight
ing force.
This great war has been essentially
one long siege. 1t has consisted in
continuous defense of special works
and alternate advances by besiegers.
Above all, 1t has the supreme char
acteristic Of the siege of a war Of at
triton. The campaign depended upon
the moment when it was turned into
a siege during the autumn of 1914,
upon the calculation of numbers. The
enemy had allowed himself to be con-
tanned when he lost the battle of the
Marine, and when subsequently he
failed to get out by the gap against
the channel. Once so contained, the
issue was question OF numbers, the
number OF trained men available and
the material number For two years
he steadily was worn down, although
he had started with great numerical
superiority The attack on Verdun-
4 vastly extensive onefailed him, and
the great battle of the Somme exhaust
ed his strength relatively to the Allies,
when in December, 1916, he asked for
peace.
He was not yet beaten, but the fu-
ture seemed hopeless. He was an
xious In the extreme. He proposed,
as as tho besieged always propose
at a certain stage of exhaustion, to
parley. His proposal was rejected.
In this crisis his fortunes turned, and
he shared luck almost unparalleled
in the history OF sieges, large or small.
One-half of the beleaguering ring
around him collapsed from within
the Russian army, which broke up
through the break up of the Russian
state. The capture of the capital by
a gang of international adventures
and the rapid dissolution of all au-
thority put Russia out of the war.
Tho situation had entirely changed
The numbers We're and always would

per the full quota, excluding those
who will have to be put back on ac-
count of immaturity, is $50 900 "men,
yet in practice the amount one can
draft into the combatant units is very
much less. The experience of all the
other belligerents in this regard is
most significant.
Great Britain at one critical moment
was sending out boys rather over eigh-
teen and one-half years old. 1t was
thought doubtful expedient and was
discontinued the moment the worst
crisis had passed. No one thought OF
sending out boys younger than eigh-
teen. The further total fit for service
is not large.
France has always refused to send
any one into the field under nineteen

where near active service yet. There
IS another extremely important point
IN this connection. When your young
est classes are drafted in in small
amounts they are, so to speak, di-
gested by the mass of the army. But
when you send bad material of this
KIND in on great scale it works the
other way round. It is not they who
are digested, but they who lower the
value of the whole
The classical instance is that of
Napoleon in 1S14-'15. Napoleon was
also defeated by exhaustion in recruit
ment, and the poor material on which
he had to fall back poured in in such
numbers that the whole texture of the
army suffered.
Now, supposing this German class
OF 1920 should count in electives not
more than 100000, that is more than
a third of the infantry actually fight
ing on the western front and is quite
"a quarter of the total forces in the
western war zone of the Germans
The proportions are far too high You
cannot use such material on such a
scale, and it is this penury in recruit
ment, this absolutely memorable con-
dition, that is dominating the whole
near future of the war, which is COM
pelling Germany to surrender.
These words will be printed, per-
haps, after the political decisions
have been taken, at any rate, many
days after they are written. But
there may still be time for one out of
SO many ephemeral writer's upon this
war to point out the extreme gravity
attaching to any misjudgment of the
situation.
Prussia has brought herself to a
condition where she must inevitab bly,
suffer total defeat unless there is a
political blunder on the part of the
allies. 1t is absolutely inevitable,
short of such blunder, that the Prus-
sian military machine, the curse of
Europe and the world, will be destroy
ed, not weakened, but destroyed, put
out of action altogether. The only
cause that could possibly lead to its
salvation would be a misunderstand-
ing of the complete breakdown which
the machine has already suffered.
Only too great dependence upon the
memory of the immediate past and
consequent eXaggeration of Prussia's
present power could make any civil
ian politician so foolish as to advise
a compromise. For such a comprom-
Use there is no military ground what
soeyer. The defeat is absolute al
ready in substance and it will appear
even to the most superficial in very
brief time.
