LONDON. Aug. IT Conviction
that the balance of war now tends to

Iain's participation in the war. dating

"The fourth year of the war has

disintegration of Russia enabled the
j central powers to concentrate all their
I strength on a supreme effort to de
stroy the armed power of the western
allies. Last October, at Faporetto,
they sprung a surprise upon Italy end
succeeded in forcing hack her troops
from th<* frontier to the line of the
1'iave. On March L’l of this year they
opened an attack upon the allier ar
mies in France with the object of
driving a wedge between them and
ultimately occupying the channel
ports and the French capital.
“Thanks to their temporary super
iority both in numbers and in posi
tions. they won at the outset con
j spjcuous successes Hut as the spring!

the \usirians att.nked in Italy on a
front of nearly a hundred miles, only
to be driven hack with heavy losse ^
to their original line.
“In July, after a long pause for
preparation, the (banian crown prince
was let loose to capture Rheims and
to turn the flank of the defenses of
Faris. We are still witnessing the
developments of this ill managed ad
venture, and. without undue optimism.
! vv e may say the balance now leans to
•the side of the allies, who have mas

| whose strength, owing to the partici
pation of American troops, is daily
and steadily increasing.
"From a military point of view it,
would seem that (lermany has, in her
(ampaign on the west, staked every
thing upon the combined success of
• this series of operations on land and
of the submarine war at sea. She 1
i was promised by her high command
a complete and final victory before
the summer was over, provided her
j people would consent to a large fur
]ther expenditure of human life. The ,
Moll has been paid and perhaps ex !
teeded. hut it is now manifest that
the promise has not been and can not j
• be made good.

predominance, control the overseas

often been found and is likelv to be I
found again in economic pressure.'
When countries were self-supporting j
this was made effective by the defeat |
j of their armies, the oeeupation ot
I their territory and the consequent
j paralysis of their national life. To
day, under tilt; new conditions in the
modern world, the allied blockade is
working toward the same paralysis.
The aim of the allies from the lirst
day of the war lias been to destroy
Uermuny's power for evil. They were
defeating and discrediting those ele- ’
meats in her government and society
which have been responsible for her
outrages on civilization. Unhappily,
