The situation in Europe gives no
signs of such exhaustion on either
side as holds within It a prospect of
peace in the near future.
When the war began and the kai
ser made his rush west, his thought
evidently was to reach and capture
Paris before France could gather her
forces to meet him, and then to turn
to the coast and assail England when
totally unprepared on land to meet
him.
But the unexpected check that he
received in Belgium dislocated his
plans, while the British fleet kept
guard on England's coasts. Another
disappointment was the Bwiftness
with which Russia hurled a mighty
army on Germany's eastern frontier
and the successes of the Russians ov
er the Austria-Hungarian armies,
compelling Germany to send an army
that way. For months the battling
has been on those two frontiers, and
it has been almost continuous. Up to
date the kaiser has been unable to
break through the allies' defenses,
but the allies have been unable to
hurl back the Invaders. In the mean
time men have been dying by hun
dreds of thousands.
Austria-Hungary seem9 to be
pretty well whipped and doubtless
would be glad to quit, for she has
close at home a fierce euemy in Ser
via and Roumania seems anxious to
join Servia.
Then Great Britain will soon have
a fresh army of one million soldiers,
and while there is no news from Rus
sia, it is natural to suppose that she
will have double that number of
fresh troops in the field in the early
spring.
Then while the Germans have
made some individual successes on
the sea, her fleet, on which she so
much depended, remains bottled in
the Baltic and cannot move out with
out facing a superior British fleet.
Then while thirty-five large Ger
man and Austrian ships are laid up
in our harbors, not daring to go to
sea, British and Frencti ships are go
ing and coming daily because the At
lantic is patroled by British and
French war ships.
We look to see Germany make
some desperate effort to hew a path
through to the coast on the west and
to crush the armies assailing her on
the east, for she knows that with the
opening of spring she will be assail
ed by fresh armies that will rush
upon her with instruments of de
struction equal to her best.
But suppose she is beaten back up
on her own territory, what then?
The allies will have to assume the
offensive and Germany is covered
with fortresses as strong as military
science can make them.
If, Germany with her magnificent
army made such slow progress thru
Belgium, how long, with Germany
on the defensive, will it require for
the allies from either direction to
reach Berlin? The manner with
which Germany has supplied her ar
mies so far from their base has been
most wonderful. Could the allies do
the same and fight offensive battles
every day? And what of the two
main fleets! When is their trial to
come?
To U3 there is not a rift in the
clouds of war that canopy Europe;
not a sign that peace is anywhere
near. Goodwin's Weekly.'
