How Mar Germany Came to

How near 20 success Germany
came and how fearful was tho

The allies escape from over
whelmlng disaster In the early days
OF the war was due rather to good
fortune than to foresight. II was
due primarily to the fortunate cir

withs,anding all her elaborate and
carefully prepared plans, overlooked
or failed TO reaiir. the deadly power
and immense possibilities OF tho

words, H. AZ the outbreak ot war.

service on tho ocean trade routes
which converge on tho British Isles.

Had our navy failed us at this criti-

would have gained that advantage.
