THURSDAY, Ocronmz 28, 1915.

CAUSE F01! UPTIMISM

It has not been infrequently stated by thoughtful

people, that Germany’s present position is better than at the outbreak of the war, that the war has not yet reached her soil, that her enormous military supplies both in men and materials, have not been seriously depleted, that her food supplies still hold out wonder- fully well, and that the great mass of _her people is still in favor of the war and confidently exepct vic- tory. _

It is true that the Allies are yet a long way from

the boundaries of Germany. Not only that, but Ger- man armies overrun all but a few square miles of Bel- gium, all of Luxemburg, part of North-Eastern France, all of Galicia, all of Poland, and are crowding through to Riga on the North and pounding through Serbia toward the Dardanelles in the South. That is the most that can be said for Germany as to territorial gains. How about her territoial losses? All of her large and valuable colonies, outlying dominions and dependencies are gone. They are unquestionably and irretrievably in the hands of the Allies. What about the success of the invasions of her enormous armies in Europe? In the most essential features and at the most important strategic points she has consistently failed. Did Germany reach Paris or Calais? Has she been able to launch her hordes against England from Calais? She was enormously prepared, equipped beyond our wildest dreams, but she was merely a vast intricate but powerful machine with conquest and de- struction as her one aim. She was checked before Paris, and headed back from her drive toward Calais. And now, all along the Western front she is slowly but surely letting go her hold before the irresistible pounding of the Allies. We too, are completing an enormous war machine, every bit the equal of that of Germany. But, in addition, we have behind it the spirit of defence, protection, and justice, a powerful 'and lasting force in itself. On the Eastern front Rus- sia has for some time turned the tables and is now forcing Germany back through Galicia and retaking towns and country recently taken from her by .Ger- niany. Only in the North-West around Riga is Ger- many causing any serious trouble to Russia and even there it seems to be slowly turning in favor of Russia. The country, climate, and all natural elements are strongly favorable to -Russia and even more unfavor- able to Germany. She tried tremendously hard to I capture a large part of the Russian army but they al- ways just escaped. Now she finds herself in a very bad fix, far from supplies and reinforcements and in danger of being broken and captured by the Russian forces. I11 the South-West, Italy is having splendid success all along the line, continually pushing back the Austrians and daily taking more territory. In fact, the only weak spot in the whole war is Germany’s momentarily successful rush against Serbia, with the co-operation of Bulgaria. The Allies are sending a force by way of Saloniki to help Serbia and to inter- cept the German armies on their way to the Darda- nelles, whither they are supposed ~to be headed. It is said this is to be an expedition of 500,000 men, many of whom have already landed. It is probable that Germany will be headed off and quite possible that a large part of her armies will be destroyed in this last effort to break the ever-tightening ring of the Allies. She has tried Belgium, France and Russia and has failed in all. Now she is striking desperately at Ser- bia and is doomed to another failure, we may be sure.

And what of the German fleet? It is well pre-

served and harmless, as we all know. From the first check of the German armies before Paris there has been continual betterment and increasing strength and progress on the part of the Allies. Ultimate victory, of the only kind acceptable to the Allies, is daily be- coming more and more clear and tangible. Certainly, there has not been greater cause for optimism at any period of the war than at the present.

PRO0RESS 0F THE WAR

During the past few weeks the war news has been

a bewildering record'of kaleidoscopic changes. The treachery of Bulgaria and the declaration of war upon ' her by Russia and Italy; the reverses and successes in Serbia; the change of commanders at Gallipoli; the problematic action of Greece; the turning back of the German invasion of Russia; the unceasing struggle on. the Western front with so little gained, so many valu- able lives lost-these and more have thrown n sort of veil over the whole situation which it is impossible to

penetrate.\ ' '

One thing in the whole maze is evident. The Ger-

mans have lost the initiative with which they entered upon the struggle. They have found the road to Paris and Calais blocked effectually and hopelessly; they have found that the Rumian tide which they had turn- ed buck is again flooding down upon them an_d.th¢’

féiulted in a new atti¢ki6;iiTurkey and renewed pres- _SHN of the fonner ope‘ra'tions on Gallipoli peninsula. There will be no triurnphal procession through Serbia to Constantinople upon which the Gemians were counting. Events in this theatre are now at white heat and will be the centre of great interest during the next few weeks_and perhaps months.

The appointment of Major- General Munro to take

command of the British forces on the Gallipoli penin- sula follows a change also in the command of the _French forces. General Serrail, whotook so promi- nent a part in the defense of Verdun against the at- tacks by the armies under the German Crown Prince, is now in command of the_ French expedition to the Dardanelles. General Munro,"as is already known, succeeds General Sir Ian Hamilton who, though a military leader of surpassing ability, has not, perhaps,. conducted the Dardanelles campaign with the push and dash that might be expected of a younger commander. Together General Serrail and General Munro may be expected to start an offensive movement which will clear' the Turks from Gallipoli and open the way to Constantinople. It is quite possible that the next few weeks will bring surprises both in Serbia, where things aredark enough at present, and at the Darda- nelles. Winter is approaching and winter conditions on Gallipoli are not enviable. No doubt an effort will be made by the Entente to secure a firmer foothold here, but of the means or the measures none but the commanders know.

The great drive in the West, as was predicted

months ago, will notbegin before next spring, al- though many critics saw in the great battles of the past few weeks the beginning of the move that-was to drive the .Germans out of France and Belgium.

O GRECO-SERBIAN TREATY

'**"W°'°5"'

‘ Premier Zaimis of Greece is less ‘frank than Chan- cellor vop Bethmann-Hollweg. The latter admitted that in invading Belgium, Germany was violating a treaty and doing Belgium a great wrong; his plea of justification was that of military necessity. The new .Greek premier, with less sincerity, informs Serbia and her allies that the, treaty of alliance between Greece and Serbia, according to his interpretation of it, does not require Greece to go to the aid of her ally under present conditions. Doubtless that is the interpreta- tion of Kin`g Constantine, and Zaimis is in office be- cause he consents to be the king’s echo. It is also, no doubt,-the interpretation of Queen Sophia and of her brother, the Kaiser. The interpretation originated at Berlin, was accepted by the queen-consort at Athens, was received by the king and passed on to the new premier. That probably is the truth of the matter.

It is not Venizelos’ interpretation of the treaty;

and it was because he refused to accept it that the king asked for his resignation. We know how thc late premier interprets that treaty, for we have his own published statement with regard to it. In this state-. ment Venizelos scts forth plainly his country’s obliga- tions in the event of Serbia being attacked by Bulgaria. “Serbia,” he said, “would bc compelled to invoke our military participation in the war in defence of Serbia against the Bulgarian attack. If we refused such an appeal coming from Serbia, which we are bound to honor under the terms of our treaty with that nation -we would either have to tear up the treaty and stand confessed before thewhole world as guilty of flagrant- ly committing a breach of faith', or go to Serbia’s as- sistance under unfavorable conditions."

reconciled with that of the king and the king’s new minister. Of course the Cretan statesman is in the right. He is zealous for the honor of his country. King Constantine is less careful about the honor of Greece than he is about the friendship of his Imperial brother-in-law, and the new premier is simply the king’s mouthpiece. This, doubtless, is the real ex- planation of the conflicting' interpretations of the Greco-Serbian treaty.

5 NOTES

The World’s Evangelical Alliance has circulated

for signature by representatives of the Christian

Churches a manifesto recommending that people of all denominations should offer themselves for 'fthe service of united prayer in their country's cause, that public meetings should be arranged throughout the country, and that an effort be made to include the homes of those unable to attend. -
