logic of siege warfare. 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

Our readers will already have

Russian victories, sweeping in Galicia

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

Germany to maintain an inland trade.
Already the Hapsburg monarchy, prev.
ing as relatively weak in war as its
best friends and worst enemies 'alike
had always anticipated, is near the
point of financial exhaustion and pol-
itical rupture. The Msgyars fear for
themselves and hate Germany as the
author of their pending ruin. From'
Bohemia to Bosna the Slavs, forming
an absolute majority of the Dual State
have no desire to fight for Germany,
and under certain conditions would

tions are going to be created.

and Austrian design, fo overwhelm

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.
