ist Hs was “discovered” by Mr. made by him editor of this Weekly which was the exponent of Tariff Reform Mr. trenclient writing and Mr. Ghamber1sln’s brilliant

ful. Chamberlain and Garvin were'the Apostles 'of Tariff Reform, and it was only the 'sudden break down in the former’s health that deprived the movement of the early success it deserved. Mr. Garvin became editor of the Lon- don Ohserver, a Cunday Weekly, which immediately. un- der his direction sprang to the front rank of London journals. He was subsequently appointed Editor of The Pall Mall Gazette, the leading evening London newspaper, . and these dual positions he continues to hold. As a writ- er and reviewer of the war policy he holds the foremost place in Great Britain today. He enjoys the confidence of Mr. Asquith and Mr. Lloyd George, and it was through him that these two statesmen iirst communicated the startling news to the British public that the Liberal Gov- ernment was 'to give place to a coalition. Mr. Ga.rvin's war reviews are universally quoted and generally accepted as sane, reliable and authortative. In the following special re- view Mr. Garvin touches upon the .salient'points of the present and immediate course of the war and it should he - read and appreciated by all. ‘

A TURNING POINT IN THE WAR. _

In some ways the military situation is suitable for a

pause in the record. The_present signs are that the Rus- sian defence is already growing not less, but more formid- able, and that our Allies for months to come will be able to hold the invading armies in a fashion giving the enemy little chance to send large reinforcements elsewhere---In the Dardanelles the military blunders on our left which thwarted in mid-August the effect of fighting as glorious as any iii the history of war have since been somewhat re- trieved by the definite capture near Bijuk Anafarta of an important position commanding one of the two central roads gf the peninsula. A week hence we ought to know more of Serbia’s ordeal, Roumania’s resolve, the fateful choice of Bulgaria, the plans of M. Venizelous and Greece. Illlly is preparing for all contingencies in the Balkans. In every respect it is a turning point in the war, but whether for better or worse only the sequel can show.

On the Western front for the last twelve days there has

been a remarkable bombardment of the entire German front between the North Sea and the Vosges. Whether this is or is not the searching preliminary to more momen- tous action the disquieted enemy must be left to judge for itself. General Joffre is a. wary and patient commander, but by no means one who always plays for safety. He has the absolute confidence--of his Rusian, British and Italian colleagues as to the choice of times and seasons. By far the best moment for the Western Allies on one side, the Russian on the other, willcome when the enemy's fronts, owing to the German advance in the East, come near to being stretched most widely apart. Nothing must be pre- Sumelb but anything may happen. We have always pointed out that the allied armies in the West could not perman- ently maintainv a merely passive role, though it is for Gen- eral Jolfre alone to decide when and where and how to strike. We may he certain that he will choose the moment and the method most inconvenient to the enemy, whether the next great movement in France and Flanders is still further delayed, as it may be, or comes soon with the sud- denness of a thunderbolt. '

In his settled policy of wearing down the Germans,

General Joffre may be a modern Fabius. but today's an- niversary of his orders for the Battle ofthe Marne comes to remind us that he shrinks from no responsibility and has never been beaten since. with consolidated forces, he first turned to attack and vanquish the invaders after the great retreat. From West' to East much indeed may hap- pen before we write again, and in any case when we re- sume our record of the war week by week we shall begin practically a new series. Today we can afford to look he- yond the movements of the last few days or possibly hap- penings of the immediate future and to ask ourselves how we are to win the war as a. whole. '

THE FORCES OF THE CENTRAL EMPIRES.

It is a iirst principle in war riot' to underestimate an

enemy. lt would be not so much lqiprudent as insane 'to underestimate in any respect our present enemy. Many months ago we wrote that the Central Empires were not more deceived about the issue than were the~ Allies a.- bout the cost-that there would have to be a stru8g_le to stagger imagination for ever before Germany went down. That is the certainty of the truth, and to that truth all our thinking and efforts must be proportioned. Let us see, then, what we have to beat. For months the Central Em- pires have recovered imd held the full or partial initiative, except at the Dardaneliee. We have to deprive them on all sides of the initiative. Only when we have done that can

in Europe as a. whole, though in the Eastern theatre his strength has been in everv respect predominant.

It ls assured by most authorities that the Central. Em-

plres have about 5,000,000 men altogether in the fighting lines. This number is a maximum. It may remain at the same figure for six months. Extraordinary efforts

'But sooner or later that miximum will begin to diminish Then. -if Russia, as we have the most solid reason to ex- pect. has kept her present armies substantially intact until the vast reinforcements of recruits uf' prime lighting age which she is now training can join them. the certainty of victory for the Allies should begin to appear.

THE`ENEMY'S TEMPER AND BTAYING POWER.

To dwell solely upon the permanent losses on the side

of the Central Empires, without considering ‘the wasta8° on the side of the Allies, leads nowhere. So far these fac- tors have more or less cancelled each other. Counting prisoners. the permanent losses of the Allies have Dl`0b9blY been rather greater than those of the enemy. This is not for us a satisfactory process in a war of exhaustion, and we must obviously find means to change the nature of that process in the future. “Attri‘tiori" is a phrase far too much

parroted. We recognise that attrition must play a chief Dart if the Allies hold the upper hand in some other res- pects. Mere vague reliance on' some supposed automatic and ultimate result of attrition will never do our business.

In this connection we have to glance at the operation

of ses.~power and finance. Before the war we were amongst those who showed, from knowledge of the statistics, that Germany could not he starved out by the fleet alone. On the other hand, we anticipated that the supression of Ger- man, sea-trade and the stoppage of her imports of raw mat- erial would be disastrous for the enemy. Even there we were wrong like all others. The full effects of our sea- power are a serious and .slowly cumulative injury to the enemy, but there are not a searching disaster and cannot in ‘themselves be fatal.

We turn to finance. The German Stale and people are

practically living upon a huge system of I. 0. U’s, and will be threatened with bankruptcy is Prussian militarism is thoroughly vanquished. Butz the enemy- unless British sea-power should find a means to force its way into the Baltic-is pretty certain for a long time to come of his food and his war waging material. In the extremity of the struggle, and no matter what might be the reckoning after- wards, the German Government would have no regard to capital or the ordinary mechanism of borrowing and cre- dit. It would simply commandeer the stuff and pay in

paper.

Behind all this we must reckon with the temper of the

German people. They are intoxicated by a pride and con- fidence most cleverly sustained by it Press completely un- der the influence of the Government. They never were more united from the Baltic 'to the lower Alps then they are today. They hold Austria-Hungary absolutely in their grip and can drive that monarchy as they please. If the German people should now awaken from their present mood of over-confidence and should realize that they will have to face at the end of it all a. defensive struggle for life ami death, they will tight with utter desperation and will

“let everything go in" with it vengeance.

THE ALLIES AND “DIRECT BATTLE-POWER."

This is the truth about what we haveto beat. It is no

revelation. It is the ordinary and obvious truth. It ought to be present in the mind of every citizen as 'the matter of fact of the conditions. Now if what we have to beat is to be thoroughly beaten, we must come in clear sight of beat- ing it before another twelve months are out, no matter how long it may take afterwards to iinish~the job. We come to this, then, that the Allies must not; depend, as some people are apt to do, upon any indirect and contributory factors making the pressure of the war of attrition in various respects more severe on Germany. Against the enemy’s losses in men and money are to be set those of the Allies. If we depend only upon_a slowly increasing net balance in our favour in that respect the war would as- suredly drag on more than three years and would then come to an inconclusive result. Now, let us repeat, it yet again, must' we fail to reckon with the enterprise and abil- ity of German leadership, the completeness and excellence of German organisation, and the .stirring and stubborn .l phychology of the whole German people.

We protest with all the earnestness _in our power a- gainst every lulling theory which tends to assume that " the war of attrition must be ended in favour of 'the Allies by economic factors or by any indirect or automatic means. -When every other influence has contributed its ef- fect the"Central Empires-and Austria-Hungary and Tur-

key iirst-can only be overthrown, sign ally vanquished and reduced to- submit to due terms of peace by the organisa-

Allies and by the triumphant employment in the long run of the direct battle-power of the Allies by land and sea. The Allies have not only then to mobilise three or four million more men--for it would be a false and feeble pol- icy to depend on any narrow margin of superiority-but they have to mobilise every element of warfwaging
