: The conviction that the war will go at
leaat five years rests upon the change
-In the situation resulting- from the oom
plate disappearance of Russia from the
battle line. Allied victory In four'year
was conditioned upon the mutual efforts
f France,, Britain. Russia and Italy, all
; operating- at full power against the een
; tral powers. There was a remote pos
sibility that: a: decision. in favor of the
allies mirht have been foreshadowed In
.the military events of 1917 had Russia
.maintained this year the pace she set
last year. There was a possibility of a
. decision next year as Ions as Russian
armies were able and willing "to hold
their place and thus retain German and
Austrian forces before them, But now
' Russia has disappeared, Rourannia must
' disappear, and the war Becomes a con
test between two groups of powers, com
paratively equal in numbers, and will
remain so until the United States is able
'.to break the deadlock by supplying suf
v . Sclent numbers to give her allies the
.numerical superiority permanently.
; ' . Effect of Haitian Coilapte
: The first effect of the Russian defec
ation must ' be recognised In the events
which have ' taken place In Northern
: Italy and In Northern France. The Rus
sian collapse has provided Germany
with a statelier reserve which has been
lacking to. her ever since her failure
. before Verdun. This strategic reserve

the western campaign.
Tha nonulatlon or Stance.- Italy and
Great Britain, including the British
white colonies, is about equal to that of
the central powers, without Turkey,
while the native troops of British and
French colonies . about offset Turkish
a minor percentage "of . their numbers
on their present front, and are unlikely
now to consent to the transfer of Ital
ian troops to France, while the French
and British are handicapped .by" the
necessity of sending many of- their
troops to save Italy. .
On the IT tit Frost
AQ things considered, It seems to me
oertain that the next campaign will see
Germany on the offensive on the western
front, where all military authorities.
German and allied alike, agree the war
will be won and lost. British numbers
have not yet , begun, to decline abso
lutely. The British wfil be able to hold
their own front and to-take over a porn
The morale ef the Italian troops aa a
whole is plainly inferior to the German
ana perhaps equal to tne Austrian. B(
French and British numbers are not suf
ficient to bring a decision in the field
next year. They will never be "suffi
cient to do this. The real decisive thrust
of the war must come from the United
States, and can oeme only when the Uni
ted States has sufficient numbers at the
front to deliver a great blow. It took
Great Britain two years to train Its
citizen army and get It tar prance. It
will not take" us any leas.
We are entering a new phase ef the
war. The campaign of 1111 win begin
with a very clear perception en the part
of all general staffs snsmlea-aad allies
alike that the decision of the war will
rest with the nations aMiuss spirit en
dures most steadfast, and that the real
defeat may com not in a Waterloo or
a 'Sedan, but in a collapse behind the
lines, such as has destroyed the great
Russian leree during the present year.
