NAVY IS BIGGEST FACTOR TIRES London, July 29.—The Right Hon- orable Sir Gilbert Parker, member of Parliament, whose services to the British cause have been notable in | the field of publicity in the United States, has made the following state- i ment to The Associated Press on the | European war: “You ask me to make a statement |on the two years of war in which England, with its allies, France, Rus- | sia, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Serbia |and Montenegro, has been engaged. “Three months ago the task would have been far more difficult than it is today. Since then Great Britain and France have moved forward on their fronts and with tremendous effect, but on that later. Also during that time Russia has moved heavily upon | the troops of the central empire, and |in the southeastern corner of the Rus- | sian front has driven in, league upon league, the Austrian troops, has cap- tured sector upon sector, city upon | city in the regions where Austria was dominant, and has made prisoners of | 300,000 men. Hindenburg Driven Back. “Over in Asia Minor the field of conquest has been enlarged and de- veloped. Erzerum and Erzingan have been captured and other centers of Turkish authority have been taken. | The renowned von Hindenburg, up in | the Riga district, has been driven back | mile after mile and Russian prowess has proved itself beyond question. Russian generals like Brussiloff and Grand Duke Nicholas have estab- lished Russian positions, weakened at | the beginning of the war through lack of munitions. “Looking back one is forced to wonder how Germany was stayed in its march of conquest. According to |every rule it should have been in | Paris at the time it itself apIpomted | early in the autumn of 1914. It came | very near it. What stopped it? “She had left out of her calculations | the strategical skill given by nature to the French army, the new French army from behind Paris, and ‘the con- temptible little British!” | “It is a remarkable thing that on | the western front the only gains of | Germany were sachieved in the first few weeks of the war. Those gains were of immense strategical value to |it. They included the mining and in- dustrial district of France and nearly i the whole of Belgium, from which it has steadily drawn (fuctical support | and, advantages and supplies. The | wonder is not that the allies have done | so well, but that, with all its prepara- tions and its perfect armament, Ger- many and her obedient colleagues, Austria and “Turkey and Bulgaria, have done so badly.

It is reasonable to suppose that all the above people have supplied their wants—therefore did not call for the balance of their answers. Bee Want-Ads Are Sure Getting Results | empire, including the causes of whole year or more critics in the United States, whose only idea of warfare is that of constant action, have continually asked why was it Great Britain, which had recruited between 3,000,000 and 4,000,000 men, should be doing nothing on the west ern front. They complained that France was left alone at Verdun and elsewhere. They did not realize that France knew it had at its disposal at any moment the British troops which were holding their own line of front and steadily extending it. They did not remember that at the beginning of the war Great Britain was armed on a basis of a mere handful of men. that all the machinery and equipment was upon a basis of the handful, and that having men—1,000,000 or 2,000, 000—it still could not equip them be- cause it had no factories or muni tions except upon the scale of the handful. : “Men had to be recruited, uni formed, equipped; artillery had to be developed and extended beyond all expectations of the past. All had to be supplied. And the one reason why there was such delay in making a move on the western front by the British was lack of equipment.” The push forward at Loos was not final and cffective because there was not suffigient munitions. Army Is Now Effective. “But what is the condition of af fairs today? There are enough muni- tions because big men have given their brains and skill to the task of organization; because the manual workers of England have trusted themselves to a complete sense of dutg'; because they have given up trade organizations for a period of war; because without murmuring they have thrown up their holidays; be- cause hundreds and thousands of women have joined - the munitions works or have entered into fields of occupation formerly monopolized by men, such as the conduction of cars on tram lines, driving vans, working upon farms, clerking in offices, doing men’s work in scores of small trades; because all England, in every corner of it, is alive to the terrible signifi- cance of the world fight and has given its best blood, mind, strength and craft to the nation’s cause. “In spite of criticism and complaint, England would not and did not move on the western front until it was ready, though it was willing to help at Verdun if needed and said so, and it was not ready until it could dominate, as it has done, the German artillery over the whole of its line, with France moving forward on the whole of its line, they both could make good their successes, mile by mile and steadily and surely diminish the capacity of resistance upon the part of Germany. This they have done. Allies Moving Everywhere. “What is the position today? Every one of the allies has moved forward and at the same time and every one has succeeded as it has moved. Ttaly, like Russia, France and England else- where, has succeeded in its field against Austria. Germany cannot put forward its men to help Austria, Aus- tria is harrassed by Italy and Russia. Germany is harrassed and hammered by Engf;nd, Russia, France and Bel- gium, “There is no rest for Germany any- where. It cannot shift its troops from front to front, as it did in the early days of the war, smashing one enemy here and then whisking its troops over to smash another enemy. “The allies no doubt have made mistakes; but no such mistakes as Germany has made. England was ex- pected to furnish 150,000 men for the Erotection of Belgium in case of an uropean war—and that was all. It has, in fact, provided an army and navy personnel of nearly 5,000,000 men and has trebled the personnel of its fleet. Could any other nation in the world furnish over 4,000,000 men on a voluntary basis, as Great Britain has done? Civil Porces Organized. “Americans should understand that it is not alone in the field of battle that Great Britain has proved its ca- pacity for organization. It has proved it in the civil field. It has national- ized the railways of the country and has protected the regular dividends; it secured the sugar crop of the world at the very beginning of the war, through which sugar is cheaper to- day in Great Britain than it is in the United States and at the same time has got out of it a revenue of nearly ,000,000. “It rescued the British people from being done by meat trusts by seizing all ships which could carry chilled meat, and, having the ships, it could get its meat on fair terms, and has done 80—50,000 tons a month for Great Britain and France and 10,000 tons for Italy; it has also supplied France with steel, boots, shoes and uniforms. It has made coal trade a ublic military service and by act of ;’nrlinment has fixed the profit of the coal mines and it supplies the British, French and Italian navies with coal. “It has organized the purchase of wheat by a small committee which also buys and ships wheat and oats, fodder, etc., for Italy. It has bought up the fish supply of Norway and very lately bought up against Ger- man intrigue the great bulk of food exports of Holland. ‘It has put on a 5 shilling income tax which ias been paid without pro- test by the mass of gritish people. Tt has drawn on its financial resources until it has loaned to its allies and its overseas domains £450,000,000 and it has taken as high as 80 per cent of the war profits of the great manufacturing firms, “The organization is not ornate and spectacular, but there never was a time when all the people of the coun- try were so occupied in national things, when so many have given themselves up, without pay or reward, to doing national work. Its power of organization is proved most thor- oughly by the work of the ministry of munitions, which under the indefati- gable Mr. Lloyd George has increased the three government munition fac- tories before the war to 4,000 and with 2,000,000 workers and has changed canteens for 500,000 people and has erected twenty national workshops within one case, a population of 50,000 people. “As for manufactures—in a fort- night as many heavy shells can be made as were made in the first year of the war.

But it was rendered possible solely by the fact that England subordinated to its economic antagonism to Germany all its other interests. : “Whereas Germany's enemies re- gard it quite in order that they de- mand territorial aggrandizements at the cost of others—like Russia, who wants Constantinople and Galicia; like France, who desires Alsace-Lor- raine and the left bank of the Rhine, and like Italy, who seeks Austrian territory—they grudge Germany even that it strive to develop itself eco- nomically in peaceable competition, and they pronounce this an unpardon- able sin against the world’s order of things. Would Destroy Germany “They are unwilling that Germany should become great and strong, be- cause the other powers want to be the economic masters of the world. Territorial and economic andize- ment has united Germany’s foes in a war of destruction against us. “The second war year, whose end is now approaching, has brought these true aims of our opponents into clearer light. In Russia this is opcn'l! admitted, they having an understand- ing with England, and want Constan- tinople as their war goal. In France there is a war-mad cry for Alsace- Lorraine, “In England, too, the mask has been dropped. It is openly admitted that Belgium was only a pretext to justify England's participation in the war, which was undertaken only from self-interest. “Germany must be destroyed. Ger- many shall never more raise its head economically nor militarily. In this way is the goal of our enemy more clearly enunciated during the second year of the war. “It is equally clear that the talk of a struggle of democracy against militarism is only a catchword, used by our enemies to create sentiment and to cloak outwardly their real purpose of destruction. Assuredly there can be no talk of a struggle for the maintenance, of democratic principles when one side sets out to destroy the enemy completely, in- cluding the civilian population. England Not Democratic. “And is England really the land of democratcy it pretends to be? Has not the entire development of Eng- land during the war shown that Eng- land is drawing further than ever away from democracy? “Moreover if England had really resorted to war 'in defense of the rights of the smaller nations, as it fondly announces to the world, it could without damage to its position have answered otherwise than with the threat of destroying Germany. “Chancellor Von Bethmann's re- marks, made in the course of the year, outlined German aims with sufficient clearness, England, therefore, wants a war of destruction, a war to the knife, which, according to the plans of our enemies, shall continue even after the cannon is silenced; for their former talk about the permanent fieace that they wished to establish as been drowned under the shout that Germany's enemies are raising over the Paris economic conference. “It is not enough that the world must be shaken by a protracted bloody war. The world must not even thereafter enjoy a settled peace if the will of the entente powers pre- vails, for the decisions of the eco- nomic conference do not signify an economic peace, but a permanent economic warfare which never will permit the world to come to rest upon the basis of peaceful competition. Rights of Smaller Nations. “This shows at the same time that the great words of the entente powers about fighting for the rights of small- er nations and international order are empty sounds, for when Germany's enemies seek to control neutral trade they simply ignore the rights of other countries and base not on the princi- ples of right, but upon pure might, precisely what they alleged they want to abolish. “The second year of the war there- fore shows that our enemies are pre- cisely what they all along wrongly reproached Germany wit being; namely, disturbers of the peace—Rus- sia, through its unbridled passion for extending its borders. England, through ~uncontrolable desire for dominating alone the economic world, and France, through its passion for revenge. “The further second year of the war roved that it is our enemies who fofiow the principle of might before right. They show this in the more and more reckless violations of generally recognized principles of international law by the entente pow- ers, not only in the struggle against the central powers, but still more in their treatment of neutrals. American Trade. Damaged. “The American citizen knows what damage has been inflicted on his trade—brought by the illegal block- ade through violations of the postal convention and other measures of England like that of blacklisting firms. In spite of his own power he has borne hitherto many humiliations with surprising patience and perhaps in silent admiration for foreign power. “Neutral states, yielding to might, had to submit to many illegal meas- ures of the entente powers, con- trary to their own interests, But it is not enough. With the throttling of neutral trade our enemies try also to place political fetters upon neu- tral countries. Portugal, as England’s vassal, even permitted itself to be dragged into the war at the begin- 5—D OPPOSEDTO HOLLWEG ninf of the year.

A Conservatives Make Their ne observes eretore in the second war year increasing violations Presence Felt in the of the rights of neutrals in the in- Reichstag. terests of England and its allies. These violations will also continue through the third war year, and even increase unless all signs prove false. “Stands for Freedom of Sea.” “Whether on the neutral side any factors are to be thrown into the scale against this, Germany is continuing with _lcnarnr the struggle which will also in the long run prove advantag- cous to the neutrals, as shown by their experiences with England; for the ultimate goal of Germany's struggle is the freedom of the seas. Ger- many's sea power, which undoubtedly s quite unpleasant to our enemies, is a counter weight to England's ar- bitrary domination of the seas, and it will be to the advantage of the world. “Evety human power requires a counter weight if it is not sooner or later to\ degenerate into arrogance and encroachments, Probably many persons have seen this most clearly during the second war year. “Germany Eroved in the past year, contrary to England's example, that in attaining its end it seeks so far as possible to avoid violating the just rights of neutrals. It even went far toward meeting the wishes of the United States in its conduct of sub- marine warfare in spite of the fact that the enemy was trying to subdue Germany through an iflegal war upon its Sucelbl: population. / “Out of regard for the interests of neutrals, Germany relinquished for the present one of its most effective weapons against the enemy, although it was compelled to wage a life and death struggle. Way to Bagdad Opened. “At the opening of the third of the war, Germany is able to back to its splendid military successes on water and on land, which are not without political importance. “Germany and its allies remained firmly united during the last year in bonds of friendship and common in- terests. Bulgaria, as the fourth mem- ber, entered the alliance in October, 1915, after having satisfactorily ar- ranged matters with Turkey. Through the accession of Bulgaria, which re- sulted in the subjugation of Serbia, the way was opened for the central powers from Berlin to Constantinople and to Bagdad, an event of far reach- ing_importance. “The alliance of the central pow- ers rests upon a community of politi: cal and economic interests, It intrinsic necessity for all four states and it guarantees to them among themselves the greatest avantages without in any way threatening the interests of the others. "Buildina upon what it already has achieved, Germany treads the thresh- hold of the third year of the war with unshaken confidence. But the goal has not yet been reached, for the enemy has not yet come to see the impossibility of subjugating Ger- many.” Impossible to Enforce the Bundesrath’s Castiron Rules (Correspondence of The Assoclated Press.)

England Issues YJltimatum In Holland Cotton Situation (Correspondence of The Associated P The Hague, July 24.—England has decided that unless the shipment of cotton by Dutch merchants to neu- tral countries is discontinued, no further supplies of cotton will be permitted to Holland. Announce- ment to this effect by the British le- gation has caused some stir through- out Holland. It is generally believed that no room is left for doubting the success of Germany in receiving sup- plies of cotton in a roundabout way from Holland through neutral coun- tries.

Berlin, July 4—The Reichstag ses- ion recently closed was marked by interesting developments in the rela- tions between the government and the various political parties. One result was to bring out more sharply than hitherto the opposition of the con- servatives to Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg. The conservatives represent the old aristocratic traditions of Prussia, and their social and political influence is so great that thc{l usually succeeded under previous chancellors in shap- ing the course of the government. They have cver taken the lead in opposing all socialist and democratic tendences in the state; and before the war one of their chief lines of pol- icy was war upon the socialists as an element dangerous to the monarchy and the present order of society, Sifice the war has been in progress, however, the government has quite changed its attitude toward the so- cialists, The chancellor has steadily acted in the spirit of the emperor's declaration, made just as the war was about to begin, that henceforth he knew no parties, but only Germans. The loyalty with which the social- s have stood by the government | and helped to fight the country’s bat- tles has been more than once rceog- nized by Bethmann Hollweg in his treeches in the Reichstag, and he has clearly admitted this fact must to some political readjustments after the war is over. This has_never pleased the conservatives. But the chancellor has gone on his way mak- ing friends of the socialists and in- viting their support for government measutes. The conservatives looked on coldly at all this, for they saw that their best argument for keeping the government rigidly conservative was being wrested from their hands. The Big Problem. Besides this, the conservatives ha taken offense at the government's ta3 ation policy. They are fully commit- ted to the view that the empire must collect its revenue tax through indi- rect taxaiton, like customs duti internal revenue taxes of various kinds. Especially do they urgently insist that direct taxes—income, gen- eral property and inheritance taxes— should reserved for the federal sta The huge problem, however, of raising revenues to pay interest on the war debt, to pay pensions, and meet other expenses growing out of the war, cannot be solved without re- | sorting to direct taxation—there are not enough indirect taxes in reach to. meet the requirements of the situa- tion. Hence along with the various indirect taxes proposed this spring | was a direct tax on war profits. In. working out the details of collecting this tax, however, it was found by | the budget committee that it would be practically impossible to distin-' guish between profits due to the war | and profits not due to it. Hence an | all-'round property tax of one mill on the dollar was proposed by the com- mittee and accepted by the govern- ment. Some of the conservati finally voted for the tax; but their two leaders, Count Westarp and von | Heydebrand, voted against it to the | bitter end, In this, curiously ¢uou&hfl’ they found themselves alone with the | small group of socialists who split off from the main body of the so- cialists last March. i , Views of Conservative. In the debates on these tax meas- ures and on the press censorship the | conservatives were very severe in their criticisms of the _l'overmneut_ and of the chancellor.
