Since antiq- uity it has always stimulated mechan- ical and technical invention more than combat in the field. Solnc l-‘roiicli thinkers believe that the Allies, for the purposes of land warfare, should seek to overwhelm Germany in the air-as a preliminary to other aims- by building hundreds and hundreds of aeroplanes, even thousands. Nothing will do so much to shorten the war as pushing our equipment of all kinds to the very maximum permitted by our inanufacturing capacity.

Oil all such points civilian experts

of proved practical mastery' ought to be called into counsel and listened to with u. receptive mind. Just a. battle- ship is not merely it snilor's construc- tion, but the outcome oi' the highest civil capacity, so soldiers in lhc new warfare. ought to widen their sphere of consultation and reinforce fthern- selves by all the aid that science and invention can lend. When- Lord Kit- chi-ner makes his next. statement, it will, no doubt, bc ciicoilruging on this head. The country, 'without dcniund- ing the faintest indication ot' details would especially appreciate an assur- ance that everything desirable in this way is already in sight.

Failed yet again they seemed in the

Mcnnwhilo olir itllics have tliemsel-

ves pursued their own operations in the "decisive direction" with decisive success. We doubt whether lioavcier blows have been inflicted upon the I-Inpsburg Armies since the beginning of the war than the new series of Russian victories, sweeping in Galicia along the wholc line of the (_‘nrputlii~ uns. On this front, more than a hun- zlred miles long, the Austro-Hungarian columns have been shattcrcd iii detail. They have been driven through thc;

mountains on the south or towar1l1~1` Cracow on the west. lt would be dif-

roreesrlgllt and left more complete illiln the Russian armies have agilill Won in the conquered province of the Hapsbnrg Empire. Nor is it probable that their hold uponthst region can asain be threatened. On the one hand, the 'l‘zar's troops have resumed their steady advance on Cracow itself -a movement which may only pro- gress gradually but has begun sooner than could have been anticipated. On the other hand. Russia is once more in entire and we think flnal‘command‘ of all the chief Carpathian passes from which the Grand Duke's strategy in due course will threaten. in conjunc- tion with other forces, the very heart of Hungary and the whole life of the Hapsburg dominlons. Well may we say that all which has gone before us was but a prelude. The real course and climax of the greatest war will only begin to be discerned in the spring.

_ ' o s a As we hope to show more fully dur-

ing` the next few weeks, it would be hard to overestimate the influence which may be exerted upon the whole course and issue of the struggle by the_ Russian conquest of Galicia and the consolidation during the next two months of Russian strength upon that great base. Even without the small western section round Cracow the portion already under the Tzar's Gov- ernment is far larger than Belgium and somewhat more populous. lt is not true. as the German Emperor would have us believe, that the war is being almost entirely fought within the territory of the Allies.

That plan, repeated under Hindeiiburg's direc- tion, llail failed no less completely than when attempted far more feebly, though under far more advantageous circumstances nl, the outset of the war.

A SHADOW OF DOOM.

The conimuniquo from Petrograd

shows that German attempts to out- flank on the north by advancing from East. Prussia into the llllniva. region have been flrnlly stopped like n dozen previous efforts to invade by the salne route. To us the Grand Duke'.-1 ai.- titude suggests n serene confidence in his nbility to bring up numbers against numbers to any extent in Wor- saw and the Vistula while elsewhere pursuing his aggressive strategy with independently operating armies ol' nt least uquul size. 'I‘o hold Gl~i'iilany with the right hand and to crush Aus- tria-lliingary with the left.-would be a plan of colossal simplicity, but prob- ably. lhe surest.

lt will not lic lloiic witliout further

cfforts on llindr-nhurg's part. Tho attack on Silesia, as we have so oi`i.cii shown, would be the shortest. way of assailing Germany. Tile alternative or simultaneous attack through l-Inn- gary may prove-iii view ol' ull the probabilities of the spring in the Mcd- iterralieuii and the Near East-in bc after all the speediest way of bringing Germany to the ground and shortening the war. Thisis in the wider sense u European struggle, and it is almost

hound to become wid*er still.

course of the war can bc trained ii' wo are hypnotiscd by contemplating Ger- many nlone. Austriu- Hungary helps her to maintain the war on two fronts, increases to n very iinportniit extent the predominant partner's supplies of

Germany in every respect-in num- bers anrl strategical positions no less than in wealth and supplies. The fut- ure ol' 1915 may be in some things as inc-nlculable as was the course of its predecessor twelve months ago. Many things are less likely than- that before next New Year's Day the Hapshurg and Ottoman Empires, as we know them. will have collapsed, and that Germany. in isolation. will have been sui'l'ounded and subdued. -
