It is too early to look forward to what may be aooom- plished. and tho task of looking backward svor\the campaigns of tho last four years is by no moans easy. For years historians will be engaged tn wordy battles over the oonfllctntln _tho field and therefore only the brlefellt'visw,` limited to facts and fig- urse. can be'glven now. ~ Looking broadly at the military opera- tions one may 'classify them as western. tr Franco- Belgian; doutbern, or Italian: -eastern. or Russlan:` the -Balkan.

African and naval cambl-ilfls, The entry of the United States in the war on all fronts was a major influence in the final .ieoision and this country will undoubtedly have a large share in framing the condi- tions of peace. The western front from lbs beginning has been the vital field of the struggle. although the original' im- pulse to war arose in the east, ln a Balkan question, lrowing out of Pan-German alti- sitirfn ln the direction of the Orient.

Rather drestfsllea. but still determined the Germans recognised that their drive had not been wide enourh to compass the vital poiata of the British front and began in April a new offensive in the north to rnmedy this omission. striking west of Lille from the canal sf La Bosses in the neighborhood of Ypros. ; So they halted for a month to think ii* over. and in May decided that, after all. the Channel ports were sour grapes and Paris was the preferable objective. Thi.- acdounted for the Alsne-Bdarns drive.; which in many respects was their most; powerful offensive, although its extent was mach less than tint of the Somme. In a day they swept up from the Aiiette_ Valley, over- the Chemin des Dames on the 3 hellhts north of the Alone, and crossed th» i river in a rush. Next they took Solaiom. and reached the Voale with the point of' their thrust at Piomes.
