The War Situation
The Russiain defeat• of the Germans
in the east `arid'" the holding o£ the
Germans in the west means' but one
thing and that ,is that the German
offensive is now only a bluff„ ;Incl• to
sage themselves they must soon put
defence first. But that defence will
be stubborn and obstinate, and have
a tendency to cause greater losses to
the allies than to the; Germans, Food
and money must be always; a greater
consideration to Germany than to
the Allies aid as time goes on these
must beau anincreasingly large in-
fluence an the war.
Itis obvious events in thewestern
theater ofwar have readied' a crisis
.grave, perhaps as that which cul-
miipated in the rush of the German
armies to the very gates, Qf .PPris.
The German effort on the present
occasiom is even more treemerolous
than before, The military instrumeat
which it is employing is im ch'"'less
perfect than 'it was. Its working
parts have been greatly damaged by
three months' hard wear and rough
usage. It has' been patched up with

I It is officially announced that the
,rebel Lieutenant-Colonel &taritz and
his force; have been completely de-
feated at Kakarnas, in the Gordonia
'District of Bechuanaland, by Union
of South Africa troops. Lieutenant-
' Calane! Moritz was wounded in the
;engagement and fled too German ler-
sitory, according to the statement. '
Thus far in the war! Zeppelins and
airships have rather notably failed to

has been no raid on England though

but the killing of innocent . women
andchin • d
ren has done more moral
damage to the German cause than to
any other. At Ostend the Zeppelins
killed no one and did not even seem
to frighten the inhabitants very much:
It is asscouting agient& that- airships
have proven their worth in this -war.
It is now said thatt the Zeppelins will
make. a joint attackwith the ' German
fleet an the British fleet and Britain,
but the question is when?
