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. 'But this certainty will only be conlillnsirstsd-

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
chaps who hold down divers
kinds of snaps; we hand
them all the wealth - they
want, and pay their mileage
when they jaunt, and all
they give us in return is elo-
quence and wind to burn.
