Conviction that the balance of war now tends to the side of the entente allies was expressed to day In a statement by ex-Premier Herbert H. Asquith, reviewing the four years of Great Britain's participation in the war dating from August 4. 1914. The beginning of the fifth year, Mr. Asquith pointed out, reveals Germany still Impenitent, and in full pursuit of a policy of territorial and economlo ag grandizement, with which, he said, "we can make no terms." Declaring that America, promised to become a predominating factor In the war, Mr. Asquith said the allied na tions of Western Europe owe to her a double debt of gratitude. "In July, after a long pause for prep aratlon," said Mr. Asquith "the German Grown Prince was let loose to capture RheLms and to turn the flank of the defenders of Paris. 'We are still wit nesslng the developments of this ill managed adventure, and without undue optimism we may say the balance now leans to the side of the allies, who have mastered the new German methods, and whose strength owing to the presence of American troops is dally and stead lly increasing; Hindenburg'a Promises Broken. "From a military point of view. It would seem Germany has in her cam paign ln the West staked everything on the combined success of this series of operations on land and of the sub marine war at sea. She was promised by her high command a complete and final victory before the Summer was over, provided her people would consent to a large lurtner expenditure ot Hu man life. The toll has been paid and perhaps exceeded, but it is now man! fest that the promise has not been and cannot be made good. "The struggle is not only in the field. The allies ln virtue of their predomi nance control the overseas trade routes of the world and all the world's chief supply grounds of raw materials. The German fleet la sealed up in practical impotence, and the empire's naval ef fort after 20 years of ambitions and costly preparation is confined to the sporadic activity of its submarines. The declsivo weapon ln war has of ten been found and is likely to be found again ln economlo pressure. The so-called peace made with Rus sia at Brest-Litovsk and the treatment of the Ukraine and of Roumania reveal a Germany wholly impenitent and still in full pursuit of a policy of territorial and economic aggrandizement. The ut terances of her press and of her spokes men since the opening of the offensive ln March are permeated with the same spirit. With that policy, and the spirit which animates it, we can make no terms. America Saves the Dny. The allies are fighting, as I have said before, for a clean peace. In the forces at their disposal, the manhood of America, which has so gallantly helped to hold the fort during the crit ical hours, supplies a constantly grow ing and what promises to become a pre dominating factor. The allied nations' of Western Europe owe to the great re public a double debt of gratitude. First, because of the fullest extent of her re sources wita money, ships, food and men she has ranged herself by their side ln the cause of right at a supreme crisis in the world's destiny. Next, and not least, for the moral weight of her whole hearted and unselfish co-opera tion. From her detached position she haa surveyed the struggle ln Its broad est lines. She cannot be suspected of having any interest in secondary or j ulterior aims, xier single oojeci is seen to be that sinister and perverted ideals of which German policy and Ger man teaching has become the potent and aggressive vehicles should be root ed out of the world. Atove all, she has emphasized and brought into the fore ground the one method for the full at talnment of the allied purpose. "The great mass of thoughtful opin ion ln Europe as in America is now convinced that we shall have fought In vain unless before we lay down our arms we have achieved at least the be ginning of a great international part nership to be built upon the lines of a practical policy for establishing and enforcing the world-wide reign of Jus tice and for making wars to cease to the end of the earth."
