A PROBLEMATICAL MENACE.
What will be tile effect on the Ku
ropean situation in the event of the
entrance of Italy into the great con
flict is somewhat of a problem although
the Italian military and naval strength
ranks among the highest developed in
Kurope. With an army of nearly one
and a fourth million ami at least an
equal number of unorganized units
available for military duty, to say
nothing of a fleet numbering nearly
two hundred vessels of all classes. Italy
would appear a most formidable an
tagonist whose entrance into the war
on the side of the Allies would seem «
subject for considerable concern, even
dismay to her former allies, Austria
and Germany. Yet, in spite of this
monumental display of strength, the
evident intention of Austria to brave
the possibilities of contest rather than
yield unreservedly to Italy's exorbitant
demands for territorial concessions,
seems to indicate either an utter dis
regard for the consequences of refusal
nr that the ultimate development of
Italy’s offensive power is considered by’
the Dual Alliance far less to he derailed
than would appear. Indeed, when it
is considered that in all probability
there are nearly twenty- million men
engaged in the contest, nearly half of
which are embraced in the armies of
her prospective opponents. Italy's ap
parently enormous military power, by
comparison, rapidly assumes a less
formidable aspect. The developments
of the war have shown that the mere]
grouping of vast masses of men is not
a solution of prosent day war problems.,
We have already witnessed the spec
tacle of the slender army of J’.elgium
holding off, for a by no means ineon-1
siderable period, the advance of an
army of at least twied their number,
during tiie earlier periods of the war,
and again, we have also witnessed up
proximtcly one half of Germany’s re
markable army sweeping backward in
confusion, the apparently overwhelm
ing numbers of the best trained troops
of the Russian Czar.
While numbers are admittedly tiie
deciding factors, it also seems that
when the enormous hosts of the op
posing contenders are considered, the
addition of a million men more or less
is not a matter of especially grave con
cern. There is little doubt that from
almost the beginning both Germany
and Austria have been otunumhered
on every side by the constantly- in
creasing armies of the allies, and yet
withal, they appear in but little more
danger of suffering ultimate defeat
I
than at the beginning of the war, near
ly a year ago. Even with the recent
vast uugumentation of the allied
armies, through the addition of at
least a million British troops they have
as yet been unable to make decisive
headway against the enemy
While the advent of Italy is tin
questionably a matter of grave itn
port to Austria it is l>v no means clear
that that nation views the possibility
[of conflict with even so powerful a foe
as Italy, with the concern that the
number of fighting units composing
the Italian forces would seem to Itts
t Ify.
UNHAPPY POLAND1
Henryk Slenkiewlcz. eloquently <)•■
scribing the sufferings of Ills country
men, hits emphasized the most tragic
aspect of their fate. We in this coun
try know the bitterness of civil war.
Itut how doubly, trebly hitter must he
the fratricidal strike which forces mu
tual destruction upon the Poles of Ger
many. Russia and Austro-Hungarv in
a war that Is not for Poland or the
Poles! When north fought south in
IStil each fought for its own cause, for
great principles and for interests per
taining to each Hut the Poles of
Posen, Silesia and Galicia tight for
Germatlc kultur. ambition op defense,
the Poles of Russia for the Czar.
The only political consolation lies in
such hope as may he derived from the
promise of the Czar that he will unite
the Polish people in case he is vic
torious and grant them autonomy, and
in the reported willingness of the Aus
trian emperor to set up > Polish king
dom within his empire.
Rut the Poles are not so forgetful
of Hie past nor so naive as to the pre
sent that they greeet these enforced
bids for loyalty with great enthusiasm.
There is a horrible certainty in their
(sufferings. their devastated towns,
their ravaged fields, their streams of
: Polish blood running to turn the mill
wheels of their conquerors
The world has wept for Relgiurn and
j hastened to give, such succor as is
I possible to her unhappy people Rut
' Poland's case is worse, morally and
materially No Belgian is destroying
bis brother, and as for material loss,
what must be left to Poland after wave
upon wave of invaders and defenders
have passed over her!
Wretched indeed is the fate of the
buffer states and the marginal peoples
of Europe when empires and alliances
wrestle for the world Ex.
