WAR ENTERING
PHASE OFF!
BLOOD LETTING
Faitis Authority on War Discusses
Present Situation Allied. Efforts
Bent to End Conflict by Attrition
Sheer Man-Slaying Power Ex
pectcd to Humble Kaiser.
BY J. r. T. MASON,
(Famous Authority on the Kuropean
4 War.)
NEW YORK, Nov. 28. The host
used word in the war vocabulary Bon
is "attrition. "
It means the Kuropean conflict Ss
passing out of the sta.se of novel
strategy, and tactical gnuius, and en
tering the phase of final blood
letting. The allies nro trying to put so
iiwJiy Teutons out of the fighting.
TO In the end, quite Irrespective of
inWund gained, the Hermans must
abandon all hope of a victorious peace
in order to save what remains of the
nation's fighting manhood.
Financial pressure is playing its
part toward bring the war to a close,
and so is the British blockade of Ger
many. But, these measures for the
present ure incidental. Destruction
of man power, without cessation is
now the major purpose of the allies.
By sheer man-slaying powor, the
allies expect to bring Prussian mili
tarism to its knees.
To Make Sncrlflce.
And unquestionably, the allies arc
going to make the sacrifice which the
uso of this power necessitates, unless
before the end, a new spirit of dem
ocracy arises to power in .Germany
and overrides the militarists.
The population of the allies from
Nvhieh thel rtroops are drawn, is
3110,000,0(10. This figure docs not
include India, although many thous
ausd of Indian soldiers are In the
Knglish army. Neither are the
French Turcos and other colonial
troops of France counted in the reck
oning. Nor is tlio 08,000,000 popula
tion of .lapan although Japan will
undoubtedly come in if the emergen
cy and necessity arise.
The strength or the nllicH therc
for.e, at liliO.OOO.OOO is very conserva
tively estimated. The population of
the central powers is 1 13,000,000. It
is customary to reckon ten per cent
of a country's population as its avail
able manhood, which can bo drafted
fdr war.
Hence the total possible troops r.f
the allies number ,'13,000,000, while
the available forces of the central em-'
A pires cannot exceed at most 15,000,-
ooo.-
. ' In potential fighting units, there
fore, the allies outnumber the cen
tral powers by more than two to one.
Tltls disproportion is far too great for
the Germans to overcome., It Is tho
answer to tho German declaration
that they will "fight to the last man."
War of Attrition.
The end would be quicker in ar
riving If the allle scould arm all of
their available men hr once. But
tills is beyond their capacity.
. i Even tho Germans, with their gen
ius for organization,, cannot equip
the total forces of the central powers,
hut must be content with utilizing
only a part of the available fighting
strength at one time.
This means that the war of attri
tion, or of nibbling, now in full oper
ation, must be won by reserve
strength.
At present, as men on both sides
are killed, their places can be taken
by troops in reserve. But, the lor:;cr
. lit I UK Urs Oil, lilt ll-nr. i i .
r'HH will the Germans have, with which
to. oppose the constantly full ranks
of the allies. The time, eventually
must come It the war continues long
enough, when all the German
serves will he exhausted, while the
allies will still be able to keep their
ranks as full as ever.
This is the reason why It Is not es
fential for the allies to continue gain
ing territory, constantly In order to
win the war. It also explains the un
diminished optimism which prevails
in Great Britain and Franco, despite
the meagre retirement of the Germans
in the west.
I.onijer tho Itetter.
Tho more the Germans stick to
their long western front, the better
will it be for the allies' policy of at
trition. If the Germans were to move
backward toward the Rhine, they
could conserve, perhaps 6000 men for
every mile that would be shortened
f of their front. By holding fast, the
Germans present a larger surface of
men for the allies to continue slay
ing. So thoroughly aware are the allies
of this vitally important factor In
the final result, that they are now

Gcrman line not for tho purposo of
breaking through, but in order to
change the contour of the front from
a straight line to a zigzag course.
A zigzag trench system requires
moro troops to hold than does a
straight trench, it is estimated that
possibly 50 miles can be added to
tho German "western front, by zig
zagging, which would demand 300,-
000 extra men to defend!
The allies no longer throw men
away with tho rashness required to
smash the enemy's line, as in the
earlier days of tho war. Their losses
are, therefore, lii,tle if. any greater
than the Germans, .

The allies' now program of attri

breaking of the German front. It
purpose Is to keep us many Germans
as possible within range of their

hope of ending the
of attrition is to per
to make a separate
peace. If that were done, the man
power of the belligerents would be
too nearly equal to permit attrition
to continue.
But the Germans seem to have
abandoned hope of inducing the czar
to desert his allies. Otherwise, it
would be very difficult to explain why
tho central powers have proclaimed
Poland an independent kingdom.

LONDON SNEERS AT
AMERICAN PEACE
LONDON, Nov. 2S. Iteports re
ceived from tho United Slates that an
organized effort is being made there
with peace the objectlvo has brought
several editorials in opposition to
such it move.
"if the allies arc even reduced to
an armistice b, . tho American in
trigues" says the Morning Post,
"they would regard the United States
a traitor to tho caeso of world free
dom. Therefore, we suggest to our
American cousins that, as they have
lecided to take no part in the war,
except to make money out of It, it
would be wisdom for them to leave
us to tight out what is, utter all their
battle."
The Morning Post argues that the
Germans are willing for penco imme
diately and would give the entente
everything they desire, but only on
one condition, namely, that Germnny
be allowed a free hand in Central
and South America.
"We understand," the newspaper
adds, "that the condition has been
put forward, of course, discreetly and
unofficially, by I he German govern
