FABIAN TACTIC3 NECESSARY BERLIN, July II. Although the mala German and British floats have not been matchM In battle, the end ing of the tint year of the war finds that Germany has distinguished her self at sea, says Captain I. Perslua In a naval review prepared for the Associated Press. Captain Perslus, formerly an otlcer of the German navy, is a recognlteed authority on 'German naval affairs and is naval expert of the Berllnger Tageblatt. He states that Germany's policy has been to attempt to weaken her chief opponent at sea by using- submarines and mines, to a point where there will be some prospect of success of an attack on the main British fleet. Ills review follows "The German fleet may boast that the offensive spirit It has displayed has con stltuted the most prominent and decis ive feature of all the naval war theaters. War was declared against Russia oit August 1, and on. August 2 the orulser Augsburg bombarded the Russian war port of Ldbau. The declaration of war against France was Issued August 3, and on the following day the cruisers Ooeben and Breslau shelled the troop embarkation points of PhllllpevlUe and Bona, on the North African coast Fin ally England declared war on August 4 and on the 8th the minelayer Koenlgln Luiee- planted mines at the mouth of the Thames, one of which destroyed the orulser . Amphlon. Fiwht Superior Korcti, "tVe thus see that from the very be pinning German warships displayed a spirit of daring offensive. Not only In European waters, but In distant sea we and their combined armies originally out heard of victorious combats wherein our numbered those of the latter. The cen- cruisers were engaged. In a majority of cases the foreign cruisers, like the home units, fought against much super ior forces. "In Germany the gigantic task of our sea forces Is in no wise underestimated. We know that the British fleet alone, so far as material strength Is concerned, is considerably more than twice our superior, but we are certain that the same herolo spirit of determination to win exists in the fleet as In the army. and that we can depend upon the etfl- i clency of our material which, even though inferior in quantity, can brave I comparison with that of any other power j for excellence In construction of artillery i and machinery." "We do not forget that the British fleet, first In the world and of glorious history. 1 n opponent worthy of all respect. Nevertheless, at the close of the first year of the war, it may be said without exaggeration that Its) achieve ments do not measure up to our expecta tions. It has lacked. It seems, the iron determination and ability to conquer. Strategy of Cantlon. "The British admiralty has held strictly to 'the strategy of caution.' The Ger man submarine danger is, we realise, partly responsible, but It cannot ba ques tioned that, as a consequence of un deniably evident lack of initiative, the prestige of the British sea power no longer stands so unshaken throughout the world as formerly. British forces have been victorious only in engagements where they were overwhelmingly su perior, as at the Falkland Islands; and even this Is not claimed by the British press to be an unconditional success, be cause the battle was too costly In time snd sacrifice. "Our naval authorities followed gen erally the principle of keeping battleships in harbor while attempting to weaken the enemy through minor warfare, par ticularly with submarines and mines, to a point where an attack on the main fleet will offer some prospect of suo- i cess. How correct this strategy was Is proved by the lsst twelve months. Thanks I to the effectiveness of our submarines, which excited the justified admiration of the whole world, it has been possible sorely to wound the British fleet Merrhrnt Ships Also Destroyed. "In addition, our submarine arm has busied Rself since the beginning" of the ' year In an entirely unexpected way, as a destroyer of commerce. Views may differ as to the final outcome in this field, but It is undeniable that a nation like Germany, whose commerce has been I driven from the seas, but which can sub ' sist without imports, has an extraor ' dlnary advantage over a country depend ent almost entirely, like Britain, upon importations of food and raw materials . across the water. The submarine danger unquestionably weighs like a nightmare upon the inhabitants of the sea-washed 'land. The future results of the wide . extension, as we hope, of the fruitful ' activity of our submarines cannot be i predicted, but the expectation Is gen . erally cherished in Germany that the ; mibmarlne campaign will help to ao ' celerate the demand for peace in Eng i land. "Every type of warship has fallen. vlc 'tlm to German submarines ths battle ships Formidable, Triumph and Majestic, the armored cruisers Hoguo, Creasy and Abouklr, the Russian cruiser Fallaba, the cruisers Hawke and Pathfinder and the British destroyer Recruit for example and neither ths express steamer nor the slow fishing boat is safe from our deadly torpedoes. Aerial Arm Wlaa Laarels. "In addition, the aerial arm of the service has won many laurels. Zeppe lins crossed the North Sea safety, even to London and back, and German aero planes participated In the destruction of the i-nemles' war and merchant shlpa The question whether airships and aero planes could be used offensively at sea must in the light of the achievements of our aircraft, be answered affirma tively. "German aircraft have even fought suc cessfully against the dreaded submarines. A Russian submarine was destroyed in the Baltic by bombs from an aeroplane, and at least one British submarine met the same fate in the North Sea. "The general fear of submarines la re ponilble for the remarkable spectacle of 'the heavily armed and strongly armored 'battleships rarely venturing to nave istheltered harbors ships whtcj before the fwar were counted as decisive factors In rea power, but which find themselves swndemned to Inactive role Clashes of )ieavy battleships, like those In distant waters, have borne out the old rule that upertorlty In numbers, artillery and upeed make up the dectetva factor for (victory.

Weight and Armatnrat Ceant. "In warship duels also, weight and armament were decisive The Sydney, armed with etx-tm-h rune, was thus able to destroy the Krnden. with only 4 1-Inch cannon. "The lessons? which may be drawn from part events may be summed up briefly as follows: "Superiority of technical material plays, as In earlier naval battles, an Important role, perhaps to a greater extent now than before. Given crews) practloally equal In skill, the side which Is Inferior In artillery and speed Is at so heavy a disadvantage That victory is possible only under exceptionally favorable circum stances. "The submarine has proved Itself a thoroughly dangerous weapon, to which unsuspected Possibilities must be con ceded. .'All methods of defense hitherto employed have failed to fulfill their pur pose In requisite manner. "Dirigibles and aeroplanes have not only demonstrated their value In scout ing, but also, have been engaged effec tively upon the offensive. "The lessons learned even thus far will Tiae a marked influence upon the con struction of fleets, and I can understand. In the United States, efforts are being made to take advantage of them." Military Expert of Berlin Tageblatt Reviews Twelve Months' Operations BERLIN, July 81. Major Ernest Mo raht, the military correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt reviewing the twelve months of the war, for the Associated Press, says: "A year ago a coalition with a power ful numerical superiority declared war on Austria-Hungary and Germany. The hostile countries have a far larger pop ulation than have the two central powers, tral states, however, have known how to Improve this difficult situation by alter nately taking the offensive and defensive on the western and eastern fronts. "In the west the German armies in a rapid, triumphant advanoe carried their standards within fifty miles of Farls and have kept them flying there since mid September. Even though the right and left wings of our wide-flung battle front In France and Belgium have been bent back since then (because there was no other method for the time being of coun teractlng the numerical superiority of the British. French and Belgians) still we hold the positions fortified during the nine months firmly In our hands, so that almost all of Belgium and the north eastern departments of France have been occupied by the troops of Germany. 'fln the east the Austro-German armies first held up the Russian millions on the Gallclan frontiers and then were forced to retire before a manifold numerical superiority, . to Intrench themselves on the crest of the Carpathians and to beat back until May 1 the Russian assaults with heavy losses. " Meanwhile Field Marshal von Hlndenburg in East Prus sia was able to destroy several large Russian armies and free East Prussia: to occupy conjointly with Austrian troops Poland almost to the Vistula river and in the northeast to carry the war into ths Russian provinces. While the positions In the war In the west continue to surge to and fro and three great attempts made to break through our lines in the winter, spring and summer, were repulsed with awful losses to our enemies, the German and i Austro-Hungarlan armies on May 1 launched a great offensive against the Russian main armies In Oalicla. "In a series of battles and under con stant pursuit the Russians were hunted out of 43,470 square miles of Gallcla, their principal force was severed at several places and they were driven eastward and northward. "Ths west bank of the Vistula In Po land has been cleared of Russian armies. The siege of Warsaw is about to begin and Field Marshal von Hlndenburg In the northward has pressed forward against Riga and now has reached the vicinity of the city after numerous vlc torlea The successes of the Germans have cost the Russian army many mil lions In dead, wounded and prisoners. The Russian empire possesses only frag ments of its mighty armies and no longer can supply these adequately with arms and munition Their fate will be decided very shortly. The Russian forces will be destroyed or forced to flee deep Into the Interior to the eastward.

The British losses par ticularly those of officers, have been very heavy. The army of 3.000,000 men which j Lord Kitchener promised six months ago ! has not yet appeared and our opponents ; In the west never again will be able to raise superior forces to expel the Germans from the country. j "The action In the Dardanelles which j has been in progress for months against the Turks shows results for the British and French only In great losses of men, . ships and war supplies of all kinds The Turkish army steadily is improving In numbers and quality. The Turkish forti fications are quite as strong as they wsre at the outset. The prospects of the attackers reaching Constantinople, there fore, have vanished and since none of the Balkan states are willing to enter the Ani(lo-French service and since the Rus sian army which should have partici pated from Odessa has been destroyed In Gallcla. it la difficult to see any chances for France and Great Britain. "Should Italy send an army to the Dardanelles It will find a superior Turk ish army ready to receive it. Italy, after conduotlng mobilisation secretly for nine months, entered the field against Austria-Hungary at the end of May. An Italian army, 1.000,000 men strong, has been attempting for two months to sweep over the fortified Austrian passes and to cross the Isonso river, behind which the Austro-Hungarlan defensive army occupies strong positions. AH the attempts of the Italians up to the present have been unsuccessful. The cost of the attackers has been hundreds of thousands in dead and wounded. Aus tria Hungaria grows stronger day Wy day and, although Its valiant struggle Is a difficult one against Italian superiority la numbers. It will be able to bar the way to ths coastland and to Trieste and Tyrol.

Lloyd Sabine and com- parently Is about to declare war on Tur key. "The Serbian army, after great losses In the winter, has undertaken no mili tary operations, being content to guard the frontiers of its country on which there no longer is an Austro-Hungartan army, "The other Balkan states are about to decide which side they shall take in the war. Since Russia's forces have been driven back and badly beaten and a Ger man and Austro-Hungarlan army has been arrayed near the frontier of Rouma nla, Bulgaria has come to an under standing with Turkey, and Greece re mains the opponent of Italy, and an In crease In the number of our enemies un der control of the entente allies no longer is to be anticipated by AustMa- Hungary. "The Germans have every reason, therefore, at the end of the first year of the war to consider their sacrifloes in blood and treasure have been rewarded. We are well prepared for a continuance of the war. Our nation still possesses determination to conquer and to make the necessary sacrifices. Our supplies of war material are assured by efficient or ganizations. Our finances are far from exhausted and there is no lack of pro visions. Our fleet, despite a few losses among the cruisers, is ready to be thrown Into the struggle at the proper moment and In full strength and our submarines In all the seas are the dread or our enemies. Thus their offensive has Changed to a defensive and the prospects of eventual victory for the central powers is materially Increased." WHEELER iPEEVED AT SPEEDWAY AUTO DRIVERS Officer Lyman G. Wheeler, now sta tioned In Dundee with his motorcycle. Is put out at the motorists who fall to observe the rules of the road and other trafflo ordinances of Omaha, whloh now apply to Dundee.
