V ` _ ri-iunsoAv, ocroasn 1. isis FORERUNNERS 0F FINAL Vl_CT0l;Y German comments naturally attempt to minimize' the great victories in the West. V It is now old history that none of the Allies were in the least pr_`epared___for such a gigantic war, whereas Gennany hadtbeen plan-t ning, equipping and training for many years with t_he one aim of dominating the world. The _first blow proved the nearly total unpreparedness of'.'ai_l of 'the Allies, as compared with their common enemy. For- cessfully competed with the German naval programme, so, when the war clouds so suddenly enveloped Europe the Allies immediately eliminated all danger from the German fleet. Then followed the anxious months of preparation. This enormous preparation had to be conducted thoroughly and systematically to meet and overcome-months, or even a year later-the same ‘gfeqb armies at that time marching with but little check to apparent victory through Belgium, France and into Russia. ' ` It required the ablest strategy and skill of all of the Allies, acting in concert, to turn the tide of the Ger- man advance and avoid disaster long enough to get together -their forces and equipment fbr"a.serioi_is_ offensive which must lead to final success to them and crushing defeat to the German forces. So, as the German forces rushed on towards Paris, the great hordes of the Russian army, hurriedly and not too well equipped came down upon them from the north driv- ing them back from their first dash into Russia and forcing steadily toward Berlin. The Russian forces seemed irresistable. They kept continually rolling the Germans back upon themselves. The Germans had then to draw from theirlwestern forces relieving the pressure on the French and British. just at this point, and while the Germans were at the very gates of Paris, the French army and small number of British were able to check the Germans. Then as the Rus- sians continued to hammer the Eas`tem` front and the French.__arid _British slowly but gradually increased their strength, the Germans were :forced back to the Aisne where they had prepared enormous fortifica- tions. Beyond this point, the Allies did not attempt to force them, the time had not yet arrived. While the Allies held the Germans tb thits line, in the west, the Germans turned their attention to the Russian steam roller, concentrating every effort on it and using every possible means to split the large`Russian army and destroy it. But, the brilliant victory of Grand Duke Nicholas not only saved the Russian Army but has gradually drawn the main German army into a very difficult position. The lack of ammunition which so badly handicapped the Russian Army in its retreat, is no longer felt. ` - ` In the pre_se_nt_position of the alrmies on the Fast- ern front* the circumstances are steadily being revers- ed in favor of the Russians. The Russians are close to base,_in familiar country, better supplied with am-' inunition, and ready for winter weather. The Germans arefar from base, their supplies of all kinds are get- ting slack, they are in very difiiciilt and unfamiliar groundjand the early winter weather will, admitteflly, be a severe handicap on them. Tim reversal of posi- tions is already telling. The Germain advance against Russia has not only been halted throiighout almost the entire eastern front within the past month, but the Russians have ,started 'an `ofi’ensive"which is steadily increasing and has already resulted'__in 'a_ `i’iiiiiiber _oil considerable captures and smaller victories. With the turn of the Russians against the Gerinzins. aftcndrawing them far into thc horthkrnhoast, has come thc long awaited opportunity for &_1e_Allies on the western front. During the long.`anx¢ious"'i'7etreat of the Russian Army, the Allies in the w have accumu- lated great stores of ammunition, gu' and' supplies" of all kinds, and recruited and trai _ _-aiparmy of three million men and more. So, e minute the Russianschecked the Germans and_stah-tcdfsucccssfiil' offensive movements,,the Allies iii. _tlne,.West were ready to strike, and have struck with, terrible force. The Germans have now two enon_'i1oiis'~armies very 'Widely separated-one in the East agaitist Russia, and distance between them, ‘and the terigic hammering: ftliey-ffare each getting, neither can apsist the other. There _.is no reason t_o believe that there will be any let-up on the western' front now.
