War of 1894-95 and as she, in re- taliation, had formed an alliance with England, Japan, for re- venge, declared war on Germany August 23, 1914. Will she do the same now for the same reason? The German-Russian economic pact recently signed was a direct slap in the face to the Japanese. On November 5, after two Ger- | man warships had taken refuge} ed a Russian seaport on the | Black Sea, France and England declared war no Turkey, Two of the Balkan States went | with the Allies—Roumania on; April 28, 1916 and Greece on| July 2, 1917.

War Plans Before War As many military observers be- lieve today of the present con- flict, a European war had been | mapped out long before the World| War began. Germany, Austria- Hungary and Italy as a_- Triple Alliance and France and Russia as a Dual Alliance had drawn up plans for the shuffling of the European map. Triple Alliance plans called for an invasion of} France through Belgium and Hol- land, in which practically all of the German forces were to be used. Dual Alliance ideas were to advance the entire French army on the west and the Rus- sian army on the east, causing the German forces to split up and in so doing become outnumbered by the Dual Alliance forces. However, both Alliances’ plans were practically useless after actual warfare began. Russians made great advances on the east but the Germans call- ed in Hindenburg from retire- ment and his strategy drove the invaders back and almost annihi- lated them. French army began, an offensive along, the entire German-French frontier, but the Germans drove them deep into; French soil until they were south of the Marne, when the Germans were halted. No decisive battles were fought in the first year of the conflict but both sides lost many men. Fighting in 1915} opened new fronts but relatively | little was accomplished on either side, and the same was practic- | ally true of 1916. | Allies Superior By the end of 1916, the British war machine had reached its; peak, and for the first time the Allies were superior to the Cen- trat-Powers in artillery and air- Preparations for 1917} were made with the hopes of end- ingethe war that year. However, | Germany retreated in t posi- |tions, destroying everything of value while doing so. Then Eng-| lish soldiers began attacking from the north and French on the | east. English army met with lit- tle success and the French were repulsed. Italians sustained heavy | losses and operations practically | closed on their front..

American soldiers were ready by that time, and the Al- lies began counteroffensive at- back and in August of 1918 a British army broke through the |Hindenburg line. American drive cut off communications of the \Germans at St. Mihiel and at the Meuse-Argonne. Reorganized Bel- many from the west, and = with the Allies’ assault on all fronts. the German defense collapsed and an armistice was signed. War On The Seas At the end of May, 1916, the| Battle of Jutland was fought. on the high seas, and when it was| ef the waters and the German fleet was bottled up in Helgoland ; Bight for the rest of the war. On; April 20, 1917 another battle onj the high seas with only destroy- ; ers ended successfully for Britain. | During February, 1915, the French and British battleships be- gan to push up the Dardanelles and Black Sea but on May 12 the attempt was termed a, failure. The German raiding squadrons provided the excitement on the! sea. Most outstanding was the} Emden, which captured. or sunk ;more than 30 crafts and desiroy- ed $25,000,000 of property in 94 days. H Submarines and mine planting also played a major part in the} World War. Many ships went to the bottom because of the mines and many harbors were protect- ed by their use. German sub- marine operations are well known land they did their part in ridding the sca of numerous enemy ves- sels. j Great Loss Of Life Germans were first to use the airplane as a military aid, but none of the raids or battles in the | air were of great importance to! | \either side. The Allies lost 4,669,087 men in the war, 12,826,778 were wound- ed and 4,121,116 were missing or taken prisoners. Central Powers lost 2,750,000 men, 8,388,448 were wounded and 3,629,829 missing or | prisoners of war. Germany and} Russia suffered the greatest but in proportion to population France | was the biggest loser. | Will such catastrophes happen in the present war? Will Ger- many be wiped out this time? Will it eventually result in an- other World War? Time alone will tell.
