it would indeed be a lamentable
tui the western allies it at the
• -'•nclusibo of the great war, they
should find that they have been pour
,r.g out torrent* of blood and d.ssipa
t.ng mountain* of treasure to destroy
th' Teuton* only to pave the way for
.Slavic conquest of Europe.
However much one may scout the
<dea that. Russia may take ad Van -
g* of the debilitated slate of the
w« stem nations at the end of the
-truggic to b‘< ire for herself universal1
ci lor. over th< whole European 1
• or.’ cer • it will lie readily appreciat
ed that eventuality of this character
is not without the bound* of possibil
ity. The prospect that such a condi
tion might ultimately develop has been
a popuL r theme with the pro-German
write. almost since the start of the
w; t Eu’, although it is a very big
rid v* ry vital possibility, it lias gen
ii.illy been laughed at or scorned as a
German < ffort to enlist sympathy for
the Teutonic cause.
R happens, however, that, unless we
deliberately close our eyes to the facts,
wi must appreciate that the Russians,
in the event of the Teutonic nations
being over whelmed, will hold the rnas
ii i li. nd in the settlement of Euro
pean affair and must, therefore, be
i.urtfiilly appraised in this relation
before we make up our minds that the
German "Joke" of a .Slavic Europe is
truly a Joke.
Statisticians have long ago disclosed
Unit will the remainder of the en
te/iiu contender* emasculated to an
extreme degree by the long and san
guinary struggle, Russia, with her
teeming million* of raw military ma
terial, may still Ire able to muster
forces equal id, if not greater, than the
cornbinent remnants of the mighty
hosts that are now facing each other
on the battle line.
Tb'-y further point out that at the
pri <nt time England, France and
Rely re Jr .*vir;g upon their be*t
manhood to wag' the war against the
in. r,i. flower of the Teuton nations.
With the p r-.-ILd' exception of Eng
lari'J, they it-, ail commencing to draw
upon their Lest resources of men.
In a general sense It may be said
that they havi already attained the
maximum 'f their military powers and
must inevitably decline in strength In
the event of the war being prolonged
lieyond the present year. They will
still he able to place many million
men In the field hut of a far differ
ent quality than those who are at
present facing the enemy. The strength
and virility, the capacity to endure
ihr* utmost of privation and exertion
will he lacking.
Compared to the m<*n that are now
in service the larger j ortlon will be
little short of weaklings, practically
[incapable of doing what their prede
J censors hm done It may be safely
said that never agan w.thin the pres
I < nt decade will the Germanic, Anglo
! Saxon and I-atin contenders be able
| *o place in the Held such men as those
who are or have faced the shock of
| battle during the two years of strug
g.e that have passed. Each year of
the war's continuance must witness
1 a steady decline it the cumber of ful
| iy capable fighting units that can be
mustered by the Germans and their
western opponents and the day is not
far away that the inability to draw
upon a fiesh and vigorous m; nbooJ
will commence to display itself in a
great decline in res.stive powers.
Experts on military affairs univer
sally concede that all of the nations
last mentioned must suffer a serious
decline in military strength after the
present year. on the other hand
Kussia, the Colossus of the Occidental
nations, still posies sis millions of
m*-n strong, hardy and c gorous men. !
many of whom, so « are told, arc not (
yet fully aware that their motherland ’
re engages in the greatest human con - j
test of ■ ' , • .

already swept > in the whirl at

debilitated states of Europe w tier. Ger- :

and the allies are vtiU weak from their

ed beyond another year or two it is
plain that, with ail her vast resources
of men, Kussia will hold the ha net of
power and may v dominate the sit
uation that not all of the remainder of

■Such an eventuality is improbable |
but it is nevertheless a prospect that
must be considered unless one is blind
to the ultima!* possibilities of the!
war.
Try as one may to disguise the fact,
it is plainly possible that western al
