MIUTARiSM IN
DEATH THROES
STATES (EXPERT
Mason Declares That Third Year of
War Ushers In Collapse of Prus
sian Militarism Which Will Be
Crushed, Though Germany Will Not
Be Civilian Influence Supreme.
Hy J. W. T. JfaMiii,
(Noted American Export on Huro-
poan War).
iNEW YORK, July 28. Militarism
Is In its death throes as tho second
year of tho war cIoscb, It la fighting
o tho dcfoiiulvc, and Is approaching
inovltablo mirrondor.
f Tho nlllos havo domonntrntcd that
Jhoy must contlnuo tho conflict In
definitely to defeat tho militarists of
Uormnny. Thoro aro signs that tho
Ciorman peoplo aro roallxlng this fact,
and, to savo tholr ornptro, eventually
will rcfuso to accept tho policies of
profcBslonal soldlors.
This Is tho main result of Europo'o
two years of warfare:
Gormnny will ilurvlvo tho wnr:
but Prussian militarism will not.
Tho second year of tho conflict
hns given tho contral empires a
strongor territorial hold on HubsIii.
and has soon tho complote conquest
of Serbia. It has also witnessed a
largo victory in Asia Minor by Russia,
and tho loss to Germany of almost
all that remained of her colonial
umpire.
.Militarism Cannot Surrlve.
nut tho siudy of military -mapa
hns no Iongor the Importance It had
earlier In ?ho war.
Tho Russians may gain Gallcln and
may outer northern and castorh Hun
gnry; tho British and French may
'compel a Inrgorctlroment of tho Oor
iVinns In the west; nevertheless, It Is
not essential and these victories bo
won In order to defeat Germany.
Prussian militarism cannot sur
vive sending men after mon to bo
exterminated, whilo tho Gorman
population at homo Is compelled to
livo on ovor ahortenlng rations.
The vital fact of tho second year
of tho war has been tho failure of
the central powers to break through
the British blookodo and provldo ado
quato food suppltoa for tho German
pooplo.
Prussian militarism foresaw an
nstoulshly largo number of things
that would happou In a world war;
but It has shown during tho past year
Hint It did not forosoo tho necessity
for providing for tho mnnts of tho
Gormnu civilian population during
a protracted struggto.
Civilian Influence Grows.
Aa tho conflict enters upon Its
third yoar, tho Gormuu elvlllaus are
assuming greater and greater Ini
portanco In tho German empire.
When this lofluouco becomes suf
ficiently dominant to overbear tho
militarists, the war will end.
Thus, the war in Its third year,
will take on an entirely now aspect.
Vlctorlo la tho old sonio, aro no
longer necoesury to suocoss.
At tho peaoe conference, tho con
trolling Influence will rest with that
sldo which can kill In larger nuiu
bora. Tho control, of course, must
bo oxorclsed within limits, but It
will make the actual aroaa of con
quered territory hold by either sldo
of secondary Importance.
rriireo groat nations are now at
work killing Germans. Tho Germans
Tho Herman are slaughtering In re
turn, but the lossoe of tho allies aro
divided among tho British, Fremiti
and RiiMlaus.
Tho losses Inflicted by tho thrco
allies fall upon the Gormans exclu
sively, oseept along a Hinall part of
the eastern front, wlioro tho Austro
Hungarians are making a stand.
