GERMANS GOT EARLY START England Had to Organize and Equip Army Before It Could Do Land Fighting. NAVY IS BIGGEST FACTOR London, July 29. The Right Hon orable Sir Gilbert Parker, member of Parliament, whose services to the British cause have been notable in the field of publicity in the United States, has made the following state ment to The Associated Press on the European war: "You ask me to make a statement on the two ytara of war in which England, with its allies, France, Rus sia, Italy, Belgium, Portugal, Serbia and Montenegro, has been engaged, "Three months ago the task would have been far more difficult than it is today. Since then Great Britain and France have moved forward on their fronts and with tremendous effect, but on that later. Also during that time Russia has moved heavily upon the trooos of the central empire, and in the southeastern corner of the Rus sian front has driven in, league upon league, the Austrian troops, has cap tured sector uoon sector, city upon city in the regions where Austria was dominant, and has made prisoners of 300,000 men. Hindenburg Driven" Back "Over in Asia Minor the field of conquest has been enlarged and de veloped, t-rzerum and crzingan nave been captured and other centers of Turkish authority have been taken. The renowned von Hindenburg, up in the Riga district, has been driven back mile after mile and Russian prowess has proved itself beyond question. Russian generals like Brussifoff and Grand Duke Nicholas have estab lished Russian Dositions. weakened at the beginning of the war through lack of munitions. Looking back one is forced to wonder how Germany was stayed in its march of conquest. According to every rule it should nave oeen whole year or more critics in the United States, whose only idea of warfare is that of constant action have continually asked why was it Great Britain, which had recruited between 3.000,000 and 4,000,000 men. should be doing nothing on the west em front. They complained that France was left alone at Verdun and elsewhere. They did not realize that France knew it had at its disposal at any moment the British troops which were holding their own line of front and steadily extending it. They did not remember that at the beginning of the war Great Britain was armed on a basis of a mere handful of men that all the machinery and equipment was upon a basis of the handful, and that having men 1,000.000 or 2,000. 000 it still could not equip them be cause it had no factories or muni tions except upon the scale of the nandtul. "Men had to be recruited, uni formed, equipped; artillery had to be developed and extended beyond all expectations of the past. All had to De supplied. And the one reason why there was such delay in makinar a move on the western front by the British was lack of equipment. The push forward at Loos was not final and effective because there was not sufficient munitions. Paris at the time it itself appointed early in the autumn of 1914. It came very near it. What stopped it? "She had lett out ot her calculations the strategical skill given by nature to the French army, the new French army from behind Paris, and 'the con temptible little British I' "It is a remarkable thing that on the western front the only gains of Germany were achieved in the first few weeks of the war. Those gains were of immense strategical value to it. They included the mining and in dustrial district of France and nearly the whole of Belgium, from which it has steadily drawn practical support and. advantages and supplies. The wonder is not that the allies have done so well, but that, with all its prepara tions and its perfect armament, Ger many and her obedient colleagues, Austria and ' Turkey and Bulgaria, have done so badly. British Navy Biggest Factor. "Apparently at the beginning of the war, everything was in their hands everything except one the British navy. If Germany could have mas tered it as it mastered Belgium and a goodly portion of France, the war long since would have been over; France would have become a third rate power under practical German control; Russia would have been driven back into its steppes and plains, once more the slave of Ger man influence and control, and the British empire as we know it would have become a thing of the past What the British navy did was to sweep German merchant commerce from the seas, prevent Germany from trading with the rest ot the world, except by crooked methods, bottle up its fleet to uselessness, drive its South Atlantic fleet to the bottom of the sea, and throttle and choke Ger man exports to an extent that great cities ukc rzamourg nave iosi ine hum of their activity, and outside the Baltic sea there is no stir of German commerce save in a freakish enter prise like that of the Deutschland. Those, however, who count the work of the Deutschland as extraordinary should remember that it is not original, since considerable numbers of British submarines have crossed the Atlantic during the last year safely and surely. It is not strange that the Deutsch land accomplished its feat. It would be very strange, however, if that feat is duplicated by any sister ships. "German foreign commerce cannot be rehabilitated by the activities of suomannes. Since the battle off Jut land it can be safely and surely said that the seas are still controlled over whelmingly by the British fleet. The Uerman tleet came out and then fled to cover again after a stiff fight. Britons Had to Make Army.

There are enough muni tions because big men have given their brains and skill to the task of organization; because the manual workers of England have trusted themselves to a complete sense of duty; because they have given up trade organizations for a period of war; because without murmuring they have thrown up their holidays; be cause hundreds and thousands of women have joined the munitions works or have entered into fields of occupation formerly monopolized by men, such as the conduction of cars on tram lines, driving vans, working upon farms, clerking in offices, doing men's work in scores of small trades; because all England, in every corner of it, is alive to the terrible signifi cance of the world fight and has given its best blood, mind, strength and craft to the nation's cause. "In spite of criticism and complaint. England would not and did not move on the western front until it was ready, though it was willing to help at Verdun if needed and said so. and it was not ready until it could dominate, as it has done, the German artillery over the whole of its line, with France moving torward on the whole of its line, they both could make good their successes, mile by mile and steadily and surely diminish the capacity of resistance upon the part of Oermany. i nis tney nave done. Allies Moving Everywhere. "What is the oosition todav? Every one ot the allies has moved torward and at the same time and every one has succeeded as it has moved. Italy, like Kussia. trance and fcngland else where, has succeeded in its field against Austria. Germany cannot put torward its men to help Austria. Aus tria is harrassed by Italy and Kussia. Oermany is harrassed and hammered by England, Russia, France and Bel gium. there is no rest for Germany any where. It cannot shift its troops from tront to tront, as it did in the early days of the war. smashing one enemy here and then whisking its troops over to smasn anotner enemy. "The allies no doubt have made mistakes; but no such mistakes as Germany has made. England was ex pected to furnish 150.000 men for the protection of Belgium in case of an European war and that was all. It has, in fact, provided an army and navy personnel of nearly 5,000,000 men and has trebled the personnel of its fleet. Could any other nation in the world furnish over 4,000,000 men on a voluntary basis, as Great Britain has doner Civil Porees Organized. "Americans should understand that it is not alone in the field of battle that Great Britain has Droved its ca pacity for organization. It has proved i in me civil iiciu. it nas naiiunai ized the railways of the country and has protected the regular dividends; it secured the sugar crop of the world at the very beginning of the war, through which sugar is cheaper to day in Great Britain than it is in the United States and at the same time has got out of it a revenue of nearly SJ4.000.0UU. It rescued the British people from being done by meat trusts by seizing all ships which could carry chilled meat, and, having the snips, It could get its meat on fair terms, and has done so 50.000 tons a month for Great Britain and France and 10,000 tons for Italy; it has also supplied France with steel, boots, shoes and uniforms. It has made coal trade a public military service and by act of Parliament has fixed the profit of the coal mines and it supplies the British, French and Italian navies with coal. "It has organized the purchase of wheat by a small committee which also buys and ships wheat and oats, fodder, etc., for Italy. It has bought up the fish supply of Norway and very lately bought up against Ger man intrigue the great bulk of food exports of Holland. It has put on a 5 shilling income tax which has been paid without pro test by the mass of British people. It has drawn on its financial resources until it has loaned to its allies and its overseas domains 450,000,000 and it has taken as high as 80 per cent of the war profits of the great manufacturing firms. "The organization is not ornate and spectacular, but there never was a time when all the people of the coun try were so occupied in national things, when so many nave given themselves up, without pay or reward, to doing national work. Its power of organization is proved most thor oughly by the work of the ministry of munitions, which under the indefati gable Mr. Lloyd George has increased the three government munition fac tories before the war to 4,000 and with 2,000,000 workers and has changed canteens for 500.000 people and has erected twenty national workshops within one case, a population ot SU.UOO people. As tor manufactures in a tort- night as many heavy shells can be made as were made in the first year of the war.

FIGHT IS FOR LIBERTY Berlin, July 29. Reviewing the po litical events of the second year of the war, the German Foreign office has given to the Associated Press the following statement; "Unlike the military situation, it is not easy to review brieflv the devel opments in the confused paths of po litical events, but an attempt will be made in the following statement to trace the leading ideas connected with the political problems of the second year of the war. "The world war was caused by Rus sia's aggressive policy, supported by France's policy of revenge. But it was rendered possible solely by the fact that England subordinated to its economic antagonism to Germany all its other interests. "Whereas Germany! enemies re aard it auite in order that they de mand territorial aggrandisements at the cost of others like Russia, who wants Constantinople and Gslicis; like r ranee, who desires Alsace-Lor raine and the left bank of the Rhine, and like Italy, who seeks Austrian territory thev srrudse Germany even that it strive to develop itself eco nomically in peaceable competition and they pronounce this an unpardon able sin against the world's order of things. Would Destroy Oermany Thev are unwilling that Germany should become great and strong, be cause the other powers wsnt to be the economic masters ot the woria Territorial and economic aggrandize ment has united Germany's foes in a war of destruction against us. The second war year, whose end is now approaching, has brought these true aims of our opponents into clearer light. In Russia this is openly admitted, they having an underatand- sc with bngland. and want lonstan tinople as their war goal. In France there is a war-mad cry tor Alsace Lorraine. "In England, too. the mask has been dropped. It ts openly admitted that Belgium was only a pretext to jusuiy .ngianu a parncipuui! m mc war, which was undertaken only from self-interest. "Germany must be destroyed. Ger many shall never more raise its hesd economically nor militarily. In this way is the goal of our enemy more clearly enunciated during the second year of the war. "It is equally clear that the talk of a struggle of democracy against militarism is only a catchword, used by our enemies to create sentiment and to cloak outwardly their real purpose of destruction. Assuredly there can be no talk of a struggle for the maintenance of democratic principles when one side sets out to destroy the enemy completely, in cluding the civilian population. England Not Democratic "And is England really the land of democratcy it pretends to be? Has not the entire development of Eng land during the war shown that Eng land is drawing further than ever away from democracy? "Moreover if England had really resorted to war in defense of the rights of the smaller nations, as it fondly announces to the world, it could without damage to its position have answered otherwise than with the threat of destroying Germany. "Chancellor Von Bethmann's re marks, made in the course of the year, outlined German aims with sufficient clearness. England, therefore, wants a war of destruction, a war to the knife, which, according to the plans of our enemies, shall continue even after the cannon is silenced; for their former talk about the permanent peace that they wished to establish has been drowned under the shout that Germany's enemies are raising over the Paris economic conference. It is not enough that the world must be shaken by a protracted bloody war. The world must not even thereafter enjoy a settled peace if the will of the entente powers pre vails, for the decisions of the eco- nomic conference do not signify an economic peace, but a permanent economic warfare which never will permit the world to come to rest upon .L 1 I. .A . ..... r inc uasis ox peacciui competition. Rights of Smaller Nations. This shows st the same time that the great words of the entente sowers about lighting for the rights of small er nations and international order are empty sounds, for when Germany's enemies seek to control neutral trade they simply ignore the rights of other countries and base not on the princi ples of right but uoon Dure micrh precisely what they alleged they want io apuusn. The second vear of the wir hirr. fore shows that our enemira ar n. cisely what they all along wrongly repruaencu uermany witn pemg' namely, disturbers of the near R...I sia. through its unbridled passion for extending its borders. England, through uncontrolab e An ire W dominating alone the economic world, and France, through its passion for revenge. The second year ot the war further proved that it is our enemies who follow the principle of might before risrht. They show this in the more and more reckless violations of arenerallv recognized principles of international law by the entente pow ers, not only in the struggle against the central powers, but still more in their treatment of neutrals. American Trade. Damaged. "The American citizen knows what damage has been inflicted on his trade brought by the illegal block ade through violations of the postal convention and other measures of England like that of blacklisting firms. In spite of his own power he has borne hitherto many humiliations with surprising patience and perhaps (n silent admiration for foreign power. Neutral states, yielding to might. had to submit to many illegal meas ures of the entente powers, con trary to their own Interests. But it is not enough. With the throttling of neutral trade our enemies try also tn nlace political fetters uoon neu. tral countries. Portugal, aa England's vassal, even permitted Itselt to be dragged into the war at the begin ning of the year. Other states, like Holland, on the other hand, by ener getic precautions against England : maneuvers, have been able to preserve tneir neutrality. One observes therefore in the second war year increasing violations ot tne rights ot neutrals in the in terests of Ens-land and its allien These violations will also continue through the third war year, and even increase unless all signs prove false. "Stands ior Freedom of Sea, "Whether on the neutral side any factors are to be thrown into the scale against this, Germany is continuing wun tenacity tne struggle which wil also in the long run prove advantair eous to the neutrals, as shown by their experiences with England; for the ultimate goal of Germany's struggle ts the freedom of the seas. Ger many's sea power, which undoubtedly ; iimc unpleasant to our enemies, is a counter weight to England's ar hitrary domination of the seas, and it will be to the advantage of the world. "Evety human power requires a counter weight if it is not sooner or later todegenerate into arrogance and encroachments. Probably many peraons have seen this most clearly during the second war year. "Germany proved in the past year, contrary to England's example, that in attaining its end it seeks so far as possible to avoid violating the just rights of neutrals. It even went far toward meeting the wishes of the United States in its conduct of auh. marine warfare in spite of the fact tnat the enemy was trying to subdue Germany through an illegal war upon its peaceable population. "Out of regard for the interest! nf neutrals, Germany relinquished for tne present one ot Its most eftective weapons against the enemy, although it was compelled to wage s life and oeatn struggle. Way to Bagdsd Opened. At the ooeninc of the third vnp of the war, Germany is able to look back to its splendid military successes on wicr ana on iana, wnicn are not without political importance. "Germany and its allies remained firmly united during the last vear in oonos ot friendship and common in terests. Bulgaria, as the fourth mem ber, entered the alliance in October, 1915, after having satisfactorily ar ranged matters with Turkey. Through tne accession ot Bulgaria, which re sulted in the subjugation of Serbia. the way was opened for the central powers from Berlin to Constantinople and to Bagdad, an event ot tar reach ing importance. The alliance of the central pow ers rests upon a community ot politi cal and economic interests. It is an intrinsic necessity for sll four states and it guarantees to them among themselves the greatest avantagea without in any way threatening the tntereats of the others. Building upon what it already has achieved, Oermany treads the thresh- hold of the third year of the war with unshaken confidence. But the goal has not yet been reached, for the enemy has not yet come to see the impossibility ot subjugating iier- msny.

England has decided that unless the shipment ot cotton by Dutch merchants to neu tral countries is discontinued, no further supplies of cotton will be permitted to Holland. Announce ment to this effect by the British le gation has caused some stir through out Holland. It is generally believed that no room is left for doubting the success of Germany in receiving sup plies of cotton in a roundabout way from Holland through neutral coun tries.

SOCIALISTS ABE LOYAL (CrrMPndnes 6t Th AwoetaUS Ptvm.) Berlin, July 4. The Reichstag ses sion recently closed was marked by interesting developments in the rela tions between the government and the various political parties. One result waa to bring out more sharply than hitherto the opposition of the con servatives to Chancellor Bethmann Hollweg. The conservatives represent the old aristocratic traditions of Prussia, and their social and political influence is so great that they usually succeeded under previous chancellors in snap ing the course of the government They have ever taken the lead in opposing ail socialist ana democratic tendences in the state; and before the war one of their chief lines of pol irv was war upon the socialists as an element dangerous to the monarchy and the present order Of society Since the war has been in progress however, the government has quite changed its attitude toward the so cialists. The chancellor has steadily acted in the spirit of the emperor's declaration, made just as the war was about to begin, that henceforth he Knew no parlies, out oniy uermana. The loyalty with which the social ists have stood by the government and helped to tight the country s Pat tlea has been more than once rceog nized by Bethmann Hollweg in his speeches in the Reichstag, and he has clearly admitted this fact must lead to some politicsl readjustments sfter the war is over. This has never pleased the conservatives. But the chancellor has gone on his way mak ing friends of the socialists and tn viting their support for government measures. The conservatives looked on coldly at sll this, for they ssw thst their best argument for keeping the government rigidly conservative was being wrested from their hands. The Big Problem. Besides this, the conservatives have taken offense st the government's tax' ation policy. Thev are tully commit ted to the view that the empire must collect its revenue tax through indi rect taxaiton, like customs duties snd internal revenue taxes of. various kinds. Especially do they urgently insist that direct taxes income, gen eral property and inheritance taxes should be reserved for , the federal states.
