On the other hand, if the Lloyd

How Participants Stand
After Three Years of War
As Correspondents See It
GERMANY.
By J. W. T. Mason.
(Written for The United Press.)
New York, Aug. 3. Germany's mil
itary situation at the close of the third
year of the war is being shaped to meet
the new offensive of American troops
on the Westicn Front next spring. The
kaiser must henceforth fight a defen
sive battle because of America's ent
rance into the war; and he must hus
band his soldiers for use against Ameri
ca 's new citizen armies.
No seriously designed offensive that
would risk bringing large casualty los-
ses to the Germans can henceforth be
attempted by the kaiser except at great
peril to his lines when the main forces
of the United states begin to hammer
the western fitmt. Germany must save
her soldiers to meet the American as
sault if there is to be any possible hope
of the Germans retaining part of their
hold on Belgium and Northern France
for trading purpose in the peace con-
terence.
This is the reason why during the
third year of the war, the German gen
eral staff has feared to attempt a ser
ious offensive against the armies of
the new Russian democracy, weakened
by dissensions and threatened with
mutinies. The Germans might have bro
ken through the Riga front and perhaps
captured Petrograd last spring, but the
attempt would have been a very eostly
cue, and Petrograd in the hands of the
kaiser would not bring to life the dead
German noldiers when the American
troops start pressing the Teutons to
ward the Rhine,

The Rufdan Revolution. -The
revolution in Russia occurred be
tween the breaking of German-American
diplomatic relations and the de
claration of war by the United States
upon Germany. The risk, therefore, of
moving deeper into Russia was too great
be undertaken. The offensive which
the Germans tees a to develop in cast
ern Galiria at close of the third year
of the war cannot be pressed far, un
less the Russian troops show complete
demoralization and practically invite
the Germans to move forward. Any ser
ious resistance by the Rosians will
quickly bring the Germans to a halt;

(United Press staff correspondent)
- With the British Armies in the Field,
Aug. 3. An eighteen year old "war
oauy making his first fiisht alone
over enemy territory, was awarded tho
"palm" today among England's air
men for sheer audacity in the amazing
list of aerial exploits heraldinv the
opening of the Flanders offensive.
The youngster swop far over the en
emy territory and th n swooped back,
flying within a few feet of tho ground.
He spied a detachment of German in
fantry crossing a bridge and promptly
let loose with his machine gun. Uttorly
disregarding the hail of rifle fire they
turned upon him, he circled back and
forth, barely over their heads, his ma
chine gun rattling away. He saw four
or five corpses before tho Germans
gave way and sought sheltor in nearby
ditches-
The airman swooped around a little
more, found Mb quarry too well covered
np and then winged blithely on his
way.
Next he swooped over an open motor
car on a wide road, letting loose his
machine gun fire, at an, .officer in the
tonneau. The machine turned Into a side
road, and' its" driver ""opehe" Wide "tBo

The "war baby" felt he would not
be so unsportsmanlike as to return the
otticcr's feeble pistol fire with his ma-
chino gun, so ho stopped the latter and
from the air staged a revolver duel
with the flying enemy. Suduenly tho
automobile was jammed to a stop. The
lintisn plane, mty leet above and
twenty feet behind, could not stop, but
(Continued on Page S.)
their troops must bo saved for the west
ern front against the time when Ameri
ca starts what will be the final offen
sive of the war. .
The third year of the conflict saw a
phenomenal German success in Ruman
ia. The first retreat of the Teutons
in Transylvania, followed by tho ovar
whclming victory against the too-confident
Rumanians formed a series of, cam
paigns that could have been conducted
only by military commanders of large
skill and daring. Nevertheless, the
German victories in Rumania will ev
entually prove to be one of the reasons
for the undoing of German militarism.
Rumania's complete collapse was the di
rcct cause of the Russian revolution.
If the Rumanian armies had been vic
torious and had retained their first hold
on Transylvania and had penetrated in
to Hungary, the Czar's prestigo would
have been ncreased and Czarism would
not have been overthrown. Hence, the
ultimate cause of democracy was better
served when the Rumanian armies were
annihilated than if the Rumanians had
won victories for the glory of the Czar.
The profound influence which the use
cess of democracy in Russia is having
on the democratic movement in Germ
any therefore means that Germany's
great military success of the third year
of the war will assist the allies in the
forthcoming overthrow of Prussian mil
itarism and th establishment of a res
ponsible imrliamentary government in
Germany.
Forced to Shorten Front. .
' On the western front, Germany was
compelled partly to shorten her de-1
fensive lines during the third year of
war, in order to economize ber man
power. This retirement wss not wholly
successful. Scarcely more than sixty
per cent of the German line has been
disengaged from its costly zig zag of en
entrenchments to the straightened front
which retires into the reserve six
thousand soldiers for every shortened
mile of front entrenchments. The Ger
man lines from Arras northward still
retain their useless convolutions. The
Germans have feared to continue the
straightened process there because of
the presence of a great reserve of the
British troops who might break through
