GERM.WY SHAPING CAMPAIGN

man line has been disentangled from
Its costly lig ag ot entrenchments
to the straightened front which re
tires into the reeerre six thousand
soldiers for every shortened mile of
front entrenchments. The German
.lines from (Arras northward still re
tain their useless convolutions. The
Germans have feared to continue
the straightened process there be
cause of the presence of a great re
serve of British troops who might
break through the German line while
the retirement was In progress and
eompel a general' retreat The costly
holding of excess mUeage therefore
atlU exists for the Germans In the
west This means that many more
Germane are being killed than would
otherwise be the ease) and it la the
constantly killing of more and more
Germans, whether the western line
breaks or not, that Is the main mili
tary objective of the allies. Event
ually? the time must come when this
policy will mean German capitula
tion through exhaustion of man pow
er,; if the German government is al
lowed by the German people to carry
the war so far.
. The third year of the war was
half over when the German militar
ists decided upon the adoption of
ruthless submarining against all
ships at sea, neutral or belligerent.
This policy wns adopted, as a final
effort by the militarists to win the
war In a short time. It has failed
to do so. '
The internal situation In Germany
during the third year of the war has
been developing constantly increas
ing difficulties for the militarists.
The food problem has become worse,
because of the curtailment of exports
from contiguous neutral countries;
' and In particular, there has been an
Intensified suffering among the poor.
The Inability of the German govern
ment to solve the food problem has
been the principal cause of the great
progress democratic Ideas have made
In Germany during the past year.
The people have begun dimly to rea
lize that the Berlin autocracy is fall
ing in its domestic policies and is
halted in Its military policies. When
this realization becomes thoroughly
understood among the Germans, a
condition will be brought about that
, will make the world safe for dem-
ocracy and so end the war.
