GERMANY PREPARED |- T0- CONTINUE WAR HMajor Morabt Gives Reiew o First Year of Struggle Berlin, July = 81.—Major Moraht, the milisary correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt, reviewing the twelve months of the war, for the As- Sociated. Press, says: ‘A year ago a coalition with a pow- erful numerical superiority - declared war on Austro-Hungary and Gef- many. The hostile countries have a far larger population than have the two Central powers and their com- bined armies originally outnumbered those of the latter. The Central states, however, have Rnown how to improve this difficult situation by al- ternately taking the offensive and de- fensive on the western and eastern fronts. Germans Near Paris, “In the west the German armies in a rapid, trilumphant advance car- ried their standards within 50 miles of Paris and have kept them flying there since mid-September. Iven though the right and.left wings of our wide- flung battlefront in France and Bel- glum have been bent back since then (because there was no other method for the time being of counteracting the numerical = superiority of the British, French and Belgians) still we hold the positions fortified during the nine months, firmly in our hands, so that almost all of Belgium and the northwestern departments’ of France have 'been occupied by the troops ot Germany. “In‘the east ‘the Austro~Germm armies first held up the Russian mil- lions on the Galiciau frontiers and then were forced to retire before manifold numerical superiority, to entrench themselves on the crest ‘of the Carpathians and to beat back un- {il May 1 Russian assauits with heavy losses. Meanwhile Field Marshal von Hindenburg in East Prussia was able to destroy several large Russian armies and free East Prussia; to oc- cupy conjointly with Austrian troo Poland almost to the Vistula rivé and in the northeast to carry the war into the Russian provinces. 3 Offensive in Galicia, ‘“While the positions in 'the war in the west continue to surge to and fro and thrée great attempts made to break through our lines in the winter, spring and summer, were repulséd with awful losses to our enemies, the German and Austro-Hungarian at- mies on May 1 launched a great of- fensive ‘against the Russian main armies in Galicia. “In a series of battles and under constant pursuit the Russians were hunted out of 43,470 square miles of | Galicia, their principal force was seyv- ered at several places and they were driven eastward and northward. Cleared of Russians- “The west bank of the Vistula in Poland has been cleared of Russian armies. The siege of Warsaw is about to begin and Field Marshal von Hin- denburg,in the northward has pressed forward against Riga and now has reached the vicinity of the city after numerous victories. The successes of the Germans have cost the Rus~ian army many millions in dead, wound- ed and prisoners. The Russian em- pire possesses only fragments of its mighty armies and no.longer can sup- ply these adequately with arms and munitions. Their fate will be decided very shortly. The Russtan forces will be destroyed or forcea. to' flee deep into the interior to the eastward. ‘“The battles in the west have cut so deeply into the French strength that now 18-year-old lads must bear arms- has been destroyed and not only enough ‘substitutes can be raised to hold a 44-mile front in Belgium. The British losses, particularly those of officers, have been very heavy. The army of 3,000,0000 then which Lord Kitchener premised six months ago has not yet appeared and our oppon: ents in the west never again will be able to raise superior forces to expel the Germans from the country. ‘“The detion in tne Dardanellefl which has been 1In progress for! months against the Turks shows re- sults for the British und French only in great losses of men, ships and war supplies of all kinds.

Count de Montgbello, a recognized authority on military affairs, was one of the strongest advocates of the three year military service law, and its co-author with the former premier, Louis Bar- thou. He was formerly deputy from Rheims and vice-president of the committee on military affairs of the chamber of deputies. His grand- father was Marshal Lannes, at whose of Essling Napoleon is said to have wept. His review of the war follow. A “France was not expecting war, and her, preparations therefore were less complete than those of her adversar- ies who, knowing their intentions, had accumulated an immense supply of fighting material and disposed of their troops in such a manner as to strike the most powerful blow of which they were capable. German Forces Outfought. “Germany threw against Belgium and France fifty-two army corps, or almost her entire military force as mobolized in August. Under the im- pact of the German advance the French armies, with their British al- lies, suffered initial reverses and great losses, especially in the battle ot Charleroi. While the French armies were in retreat a national ministry was formed and the civil population of France organized for war. The French and British armies stood on the line of the Marne from a point near Paris to the eastern frontier of France. - They received the shock of more than 1,200,000 German troops and defeated them wth somewhat in- ferior forces, The Germans were out- led and outfought in a vast general action over a line of more than 120 miles. “The French troops were too exs ‘hausted by their fifteen days of marching and fighting to make their victory decisive. The Germans checked their retreat upon the line of the Aisne and had sufficient time to dig in. The battle of the Aisne de- veloped by the Germans endeavoring to turnour left and by the simultan- ‘\ eous French effort to turn the Ger- man right. Race For the Sea. “This contest resulted in a race for the sea in the obstinate two months battle along the Yser in Oc- tober and November. The Germans again failed and finally gave up that part of their offensive on account of their terrific losses. “Simultaneous with the battlt the Marne, though forming no of the battlefront of what has called the Battle of the Marne, wore the operations in the Argonne, ‘he ‘Woevre and the Grand Couronne u»n Nancy. The army of the German Crown. Prince, marching on Verdun, and the army of Crown Prince Rup- precht of Bavaria, marching on Nan- ¢y, both were defeated in some of the bloodiest engagements of the entire war. “Thé ultimate result of these des feats was the liberation of that part of the ancieat province of Lorraine left to France after 1870 from the oc- cupation of the German army. The German forces had penetrated fifteen or eighteen miles. They were not only driven out before the first of No- vember, but since then the French have invaded Upper Alsace, of which they now hold a considerable part. This country, taken from France 1iu the war of 1870-71, has been reorgan- ized and is under control of a' eivil government, which restored ithe of pary been {*school and judicial system of France. Soissons Only Victory. “From the battle of Charleroi. to the end of the first year of the war the Germans achieved no successes the slight advance at Soissons during the | floods of the river Aisne, the advance at Ypres, partially lost afterwards, at the time of the first attack, with the assistance of asphyxiating gas. “The successes of the allies since the Battle of the Marne are in the re- of Thann, Steinbach, Hart. mans-Weilerkopf, Metzeral, La Font- enelle, together with considerable ter- ritory, in the Alsation Vosges; the capture of Thann, Steinbach, Harts- | in the Forest of Le Pretre, along tie wedge the Germans are still holding in the French lines at St. Mihiel; an advance of a mile along a front of ten miles at Beausejour, in the Cham- pagne country; the capture of Neuve Chappelle by the British, the capture of Notre Dame de Lorette, Carency, and Neuville St. Vaast and an advance of two to three miles along a front about seven miles north from Arras by the French, and the clearing of the left bank of the Yser of the ene- my by the Belgian army. To Fight o End. ‘“Never since the war began has the French army been so fit to continue it to a triumphant conclusion as to- day. We have not only carried on the war with success -during the year but we have accumulated immense re- gerves of every necessity for continu- ing the war until it has been won. Our reserve troops In depots and un- der tralning are relatively greater than those of the Germans. The ar- my! is absolutely confident, The peo- ple, behind the army to a man, are equally so. “The French people, through no fault of theirs, have suffered and are suffering today, but they are equal to tvery hardship, every effort neces- cary to drive the war to a final vic- toripus conclusion.” 1 & ESTABLISHED 1886 & Globe Clothing House| Our Work Now Is to Sell Shirts at this Half Yearly Sale $1.00 Shirts $ .80 $1.50 Shirts $1.15 $2.00 Shirts $1.35 $3.00 and $2.50 Shirts $1.85 All Are From Our Regillar Stock ¥ and 1915 designs. ; SPECIAL One Lot of $1 Shirts now 60c ea.
