By Wilbur N. Forrest. Ixindoii, June 17. (II. P.) "Ger many miscalculated India's loyalty to Oriat Britain. The wish was father to the thought. India Is loyal to the backbone. "India's regiments have fought In tvery Hrltish theatre of war. Her BoldlprB have won five Victoria crosses, Z5 military crosses and many other distinctions. Many of her princes snd nobles have offered their wealth arid Services. A record of these gifts would form a budget of papers 10 Ir.ches thick. India. Is a strength and not a weakness." Joseph Austen Chamberlain, secre tary of state for India, and son of the late famous Joseph Chamberlain, made this statement to the I'niled Press today. "The population of Iiyila Is 320,000, 000. Among that enormous number there are naturally some, who are dis contented and even a few who are vio lently Inimical to government. "Directly the war broke out. the rulers of the Indian native states took the lead In asserting their en thusiastic loyalty to the king-em- peror. "Numbering nearly TOO altogether, they, with one accord, rallied to the defence of the empire and offered their personal services and the re sources of their states. "England solicited nothing. The gifts were voluntary. Among many princes and nobles who volunteered for service was the veteran Sir Per tah Singh, who despite his 70 years, spent many months in t tie trenches in Flanders. "Twenty-seven of the large states, which maintain properly trained and equipped troops for imperial service, placed these at the disposal of the government. Other chiefs offered large sums of money. "Three states offered camels and drivers. One chief, in addition to his troops, Offered his private jewelry. Lrge contributions were made to the patriotic, funds. "Outside India altogether, the Ne pal government placed the whole of . Its military resources at the disposal of th.e British government. The Dalai Lama, of Tibet, offered 1000 troops and states that Innumerable Tyatnas, all over Tibet, were offering up prayers for the success of the Brit ish arms. "The viceroy received thousands of tflegrams and letters from every quarter expressing loyalty and a. de nlre to assist. They came from all manner of different associations, re ligious and political; all different creeds and countless numbers of in dividuals offering their resources or personal services. "India, Instead of being a cause for anxiety, lias been a substantial help to the empire In time of need. She srnt troops to the battle of Ypres In those critical days when the Gcr inHns were striving to reach Calais. "She has also sent troops to Kgypt, Galllpoli, last Africa. Mesopotamia. Persia and China. No less than 21 regiments, of Indian cavalry and Sfi battalions of Indian Infantry, in ad dition In the troops placed at the dispone! of tlie government by the THK German attack upon the Ver dun sector of the French front has already lasted longer than the whole period of the second Napoleonic episode, from the departure from Elba to the final abdication after Water loo. Notwithstanding this fact, it must he said that from the military point of view the purpose of the German at tack remains hidden. It has not been possible at any time since the first phase of tne attack ended with the cnecklng of the Ger mans on the Pouaumont Plateau and before Le Mort Homme and Hill 304 to find any satisfactory military rea Bon l'or Its continuation. Conceivably, probably, the German losses have been less than the reports have made them out to be, the reports from i'arls and London; probably the French losses have been greater than the same reports have conceded, but It 1 a practical certainty that the German losses havo much exceeded the French and that the proportion has been not less than 3Tto 2: that is, if the Germans have lost 200,000 men in their attacks, and this is a moderate estimate, the French loss is not less than 200.000. Bu. for the 300,000 men the Germans havj next to nothing to show, and there is nothing In the positions that they are now attacking which explains their persistence. If the Germans were able to sweep the French back across thn Meuse. if they were able, to occupy all me hills of the Meuse east of the liver, they would still have made no real progress toward Paris, and they would' be confronted by a task even more difficult than that which has held them for more than three months and rost them great and unprofitable losses. We are then forced to believe, and to this belief practically every writer on military affairs in France, In Brit ain and In the United States has come, that the GermaiiB are either endeav oring to achieve through their attack upon the Verdun sector a military ob ject which lies outside the present field of operations or else that they aro operating for reasons that affect the political situation either In Ger many or in France. The Military Aspect. Nearly two months ago, on my re turn from Paris, I outlined the polit ical reasons which are baaed on the Gorman belief that France " Is ex . hausted and almost ready to accept a ceparate peace. But the military aspect is even more . Interesting. We have all assumed that some lime this year the Allies were : ' to break out In a general offensive, a ooBoantrio attack upon tha Central VER ?" rAj.

The comparative quiet on the battle fronts In Asia Minor reports that a complete reorganization of the. Turkish forces has taken place and that all lines have been strengthened. Three new army corps nave been sent to the Caucasus and the general stuff has taken extensive measures to protect fiagdad against a Russian drive from the north and northeast. Among the Turkish forces on this front are several German and Austro-Hungarlan artillery regiments. On the front in Armenia the Turks are .about to begin an offensive of large dimensions and it Is expected that the Russian, whose progress has been stopped, will soon be driven be hind Erzerum again. The "Tanln." one of the organs of the government, claims that Turkey now has 1.200,000 men on the Caucasus front.

DUN AMD THE ALLIED OFFENSIVE IN ANALYSIS Frank h. sim0nd8 Powers, mads on all fronts simul taneously. The conferences of the Allies In Paris have all been reported as discussions of a combined military effort. Such an effort must recall to Americans the straegy of Grant, when at last he took con:;nand of all the northern armies. Until Grant came the south, enjoying Interior lines, precisely as the Central Powers do, had been ablS to move troops, notably Longstreet s corps, from one front to the other, because' the northern attacks were never com bined and there was generally a lull along the Potomac when there was ac tivity on the Mississippi or the Ten nessee. But Grant resolved to attack on all fronts, and with Sherman and Thomas he launched the. general of fensive under which the south first staggered and then collapsed. Now we have been informed by the allied press from time to time that the next attack of the allies will be on ;ill fronts, that Russia will strike in the east. France and Great Britain in tho west, Italy in the routh, and that. In addition, there will be an attack by the allied army that has been assem bled in Saloniki. It is possible that Germany with her allies would be able to repulse such a . ombined attack, but it is equally clear that to do It she would have to assemble great armies on nil fronts, because she would be unable to move troops from one front to the other. But It is certain that the Central Powers now have fewer troops in the field than their opponents; It la also certain that they have smaller re serves behind them. It is not necessary to accept ths extreme estimates of German attrition, but It la fair to ac cept the fact that superior population, wealth and reserves have long ago given to the allies the permanent ad vantage in numbers in the field. It is doubtful if Austria can now put more troops in the field than Italy; It is cer tain that Germany can no longer match man for man with Britain, Russia and France combined, even with the Turk ish aid, which is not considerable, derma Strategy. Such a concentric attack as the allies have planned would then be fraught with very real danger for the Central Powers. It might fail, but if it could be prevented such prevention would ba wise strategy. Now, it will be noted in all that their critics say in the recent days that the Germans assert they have prevented this general and simul taneous offensive. Not only this, but they assert that they have prevented it by their Verdun operation. This as sertion tha allies meet with a general denial. Above, left to right French forces hauling heary field pieces into armies. The British cruiser Hampshire, sunk off the Orkney Below, left to right Sir William Robertson, chief of the British ess de T'Serclaes, the baron lance service, being known Prince Henry of Prussia unveiled he monument which has been erected in Kiel to the memory of Admiral Count von Spee, commander of the German squadron destroyed by the British fleet near the Falkland islands. The kaiser sent the following telegram to the widow of the admiral, who was killed In the battle with two of his sons: "I cannot let the unveiling of the monument dedicated to the memory of your heroic husband pass without as suring you again' that the brave ad miral and his sons will until death, be before my eyes as shining examples of devotion to duty. The loved ones lost by you. dear countess, belong to his tory and they will live forever In the hearts of the German people and the members of my navy. May this thought be your proud consolation." But it is clear that the real purpose of German strategy, if the signs have been correctly read, is to prevent the general attack not by so great a blow of their own like last year's attack on Russia as to make art attack im possible (for they have attempted no such blow) but rather by exerting such great pressure on one section of the front as to provoke the allies at other points into a premature attack, which shall not be general, but local, and can be defeated in detail. For example, suppose that the conse quence of the first and very successful drive of the Germans in the Verdun sector had resulted in a demonstration, a counter-offensive, by the British in Arotls and Flanders, such an attack would have used up much of the ac cumulation of ammunition. It would hp.ve resulted In great casualties, and it would very probably have removed Britain from the line for the rest of the year that Is, for offensive pur poses. Apparently, moreover, this Is exactly what the Germans expected to do, be cause we have the very complete state ment made by British observers that at the moment when the Verdun attack began the Germans had concentrated huge reserves opposite the British lines, reserves out of all relation to the situation as It existed. If no allied attack was to be expected. The Ger mans were ready for a British offen sive when they attacked Verdun, but they began their attack on Verdun at precisely the time when Russia could not move because Archangel was closed, the supply of munitions the allies were to send In the spring had not come and there was no chance that Russia would be a serious menace. If by attacking the French the Brit ish could be drawn Into an offensive while the Russians were out of the game. Germany had the maximum chance of repulsing the British and breaking up the whole, allied plan, and ahe could temporarily transfer from the Russian to the western front many divisions of troops. Prance Oeollaea. So far we are on fairly safe ground, because It la a fact that when the Ger man attack on Verdun began- the Brit ish did offer to counter-attack, If the French desired: Instead Joffre asked Hals; to take over the Arru sector of the French front, thus releasibg a whole French army, which could be put in reserve behind Verdun. This the British, of course, promptly did. Mean time the French took Petaln's army, which was In reserve, and put it in the Verdun sector.

Colonel Finds Out About German Gas Zeal of Americas Military Attache Cost Him His Voice for Three Days After Smelling1 Battle. Parl, June 17. The zeal of Colonel Spencer Cosby, American military at tache. In Taris as a military observer, cost him his voice for three days. He received orders from Washington to make a trip to certain prison camps to Investigate complaints made by Ger many, but on the same day he succeed ed In obtaining a sample of German aphxylatlng gas, whieh he had. been after for a long time. Colonel Cosby opened the bottle and brought to a dead halt in the early days of March, there was a gradual dying down of the activity over a con siderable period. Then came a new and still more violent phase In the early days of April. This was without any profit whatever and entailed some loss, although nothing like the loss of the last days of the previous fighting iii the Vaux district. Still there was no sign of British activity. As for the Russians, they were still without am munition, for Archangel was not yet open, also the weather conditions made operations In the east almost impos sible. Since that time we. have had two more violent phases. That in May was without any real value, but In the re cent days there has been what the French describe as the most violent ot all the attacks, and there has been an Immaterial but noticeable recession on the part of the French lines west of the Meuse, followed by new assaults in the Vaux district. Meantime there has broken out a very severe Austrian attack upon the Italians, which closely resembles the attack upon Verdun, has resulted In even more considerable gains to the assailant and does not seem to have been brought to a permanent halt as yet. So far as one can Judge exactly, the same purpose underlies this at tack; Italy Is to be subjected to pres sure, conceivably with the hopa of deal ing her a decisive blow, but mbre like ly to drive her to appeal to her allies for aid and thus induce a partial and premature attack on the western front. Despite the fact that Russia has now been able to use the port of Archangel for some weeks, it is a certainty that she has not yet been able to receive and bring up to the frost most of the munitions which she needs and which her allies have sent her. The Political Maneuver. But France has been .compelled to endure a very rough attack. Italy is enduring another, which has threat ened to carry the war into the Vene tian plain and at one point has actually passed the Italian frontier. 1 We are then approaching a crisis In German strategy. Within a month at the out side It Is fair to assume that Russia will be Able to make gome sort of an effort approximating; what waa ex pected of her when the plans for a general offensive were made in Paris last winter. As for the British, they have had no serious fighting since last October, and they may be reckoned to be as ready -as they promised to be when the plans were made. It Is clear that France particularly. but Italy also, will-not-be as-well off place for the fortification of their position in Saloniki in anticipation Islands June 5, with Lord Kitchener and members of his staff aboard. staff, whose responsibilities become the greater because of the death in London after 19 months at the took a .sniff at the gas to see if it was a3 really powerful as reported. As a result, he was unable to speak for three lays, except in a very hoarse whisper. V All Inhabitants Qf Poland Photographed Warsaw, June 17. (I. N. S.) A Ger man photographer of Rreslau some time ago received an order to pho tograph the entire population of Po land, as the photographs are necessary for the passports granted to the in habitants of the occupied dlst?icts. The gigantic work Is now well un der way and already more than 3,000, 000 negatives have been made. Sev eral hundred assistants of the photog as they could have hoped to be, be cause they have had to use reserves of men and munitions In the present fighting. But the Germans and Aus trians have in the same way exhausted their reserves to an even greater ex tent, and the situation, if It endures for another month, will not be greatly dif ferent from that which the allies had hoped to see. But it Is still possible that the French may weary of their part of the bargain. I say it Is possible, al though everything that I saw In France contradicts any such notion. It Is possible that the French people or the French politicians may demand that a portion of the burden be shifted to British soldiers. If this happens then there may still be a premature offensive, although noth ing like as weak an offensive as would have come had the British moved last February. It is possible that the attack may come on one fror.t before all fronts are prepared. On the other hand it Is equally clear that the time is not far distant whtn the allies can carry out their plan as they had Intended to carry it cut. So far the German and Aus trian efforts to provoke an attack on one or two fronts have failed. If the French people and the politicians stand up under the attack of Verdun for a few weeks more, then the main purpose of German strategy, so far as German strategy is now intelligible to observers outside of Germany, will have, completely failed. The Verdun Illusion. It cannot too frequently ' be said that Verdun itself is an illusion. The Germans may get Verdun a month hence, and at their present rate of progress a year would be a fairer measure, and unless they destroy the French troops before them and break through the lines behind Verdun be fore any reserves can be brought up, they will have achieved nothing of military value, save only as they may have killed more French soldiers than they have lost themselves, and so far it is a perfectly conservative estimate that they have lost 100,000 more than the French More than a. year ago the French, after a brief success, were driven south of the AJsne east of Soissons, but there never was the smallest chance that the Germans could push their success further, and at this point they were 80 miles nearer Paris than they will be in Verdun, and there were fewer obstacles in their way.

You may take the simple explanation that the Germans be lieve the French are almost exhausted, runing short of men and of courage, and will presently abanon the war, if they continue to lose without re gaining French territory. You may take the. less simple, but not less appealing, explanation, that the Ger mans have tried at Verdun to exert so much pressure as to provoke the allies Into a premature offensive, thus destroying the chance of a combined attack later; there may be some other political consideration that no one knows, a desire to give the German people a victory or a fear to abandon the atjack, having sacrificed so many lives In making It; hut the military advantage of a success that takes the Germans to the Meuse at Verdun, takes them Into the city Itself, la Just nil. To believe that the Germans are wasting their men on an Idle and fool ish military venture Is absurd. It is the fact that no profit worth the price has been disclosed In the Ver dun operation Itself that has puzzled not merely ordinary observers but soldiers and military critics alike. Verdun has come to have a value In the minds of the world that no for tress has had for a generation; hut this Is a mere Illusion, for Verdun is no longer a fortress and has no value. Itself. i A Spring- Offensive, Very frequently one hears in Ger man quarters that the allied spring drive has been prevented by the Ver dun attack There never was any in tention on the part of the allies to attack In the spring for the reason that Russia could not Ha munitioned. A year ago Germany attacked Russln in the spring, and Russian lack of munitions partly contributed to the great Russian defeat. Nowhere In Europe did I hear a suggestion that the allied attack would come before July, and it was often postponed, even to next year. We have lately seen the Serbian army, now reorganized, moved to Sa loniki. There have been signs ot activ ity along ' this front, and the forecast of an allied attack here baa led the Germans and Bulgarians to sleze Greek forts, with the alleged purpose of forestalling an attack. There has be. a slight resumption of activity at points on the Russian front, hut nothing of real moment. As for the British, they have been practically quiescent during the whole winter and spring. - Only in recent days have there been printed rather crude hints that the British are ready to attack when Joxfra glYtu the word.

But it Is wel! to remember that the British have been willing, if not wholly ready, to. attack at any mo ment they were asked by the French to attack ever since the Verdun at tack began. They have supplied a new army to occupy the Arras sector, there are many hints afloat that they will presently take over the Roye sec tor and thus hold the line from the Oise to the Year. All talk about Brit ish unwillingness to share in the con flict or bear their share of the losses la moonshine. Much of It Is malicious gossip Intended to Influence French opinion and thus help the German fcame, which is to provoke a prema ture offensive. It Is entirely likely that there wi'l be no attark until August; It is more than conceivable that the attack will not be made until September, although this would shorten very materially the period In which a successful offensive could be pushed home, but it Is also plain that within a month new the allies will be able to move aa they planned, unless In this time the Ger mans rinally break the French nervo or drive the French politicians into de manding British action In advance of the agreed time. German Failure. Unless there is some explanation so far successfully hidden from all observers., this German attack upon France must now be reckoned as a failure wholly analogous to that at Yser and Ypres. It has gained no ground of arty value or any consid erable extent, it has not inflicted losses on the French at all equal to those borne by the Germans, and it has neither broken French nerve nor pro.oked a premature allied attack. Its sole result to date has been the acquisition of a few square miles ot Fr-nch territory, the capture of som French prisoners, perhaps 40.000 wounded and unwounded, and a num ber of guns. The total French loss may be 200,000 it is not more nd the German is not less than SOO.O0O. On this basis France can afford to sell the Germans mora aquare miles of French territory for another month or two until the great attack comes. When this attack does come. If it comes, the British will have to bear a share of the cost baaed upon the French sacrifices now. They will have to do more than was originally planned before th Verdun operatlcn; leas will be asked of the French. But British reserves in men are far greater than French, and while France haa ; seen her reserves reduced with the German, there has been no re duction tn British' and,1 RaMtaa ' re Zionr Tar Ar Zzpctd to Tatar Ttne Befor rine Building's At Sestorad.

The only explanation I ran find for' the persistence of the Germans in the Verdun affair Is their conviction that the French are about done, that the allies are still far from ready for" a general attack, and that they can still precipitate one under conditions, most favorable to themselves. I do not believe even the fear of the effect at home of a failure would lead the German high command to continue it terrible sacrifices.
