ATTITUDE OF RUSSIA Asserts Tlia nula and Other Conn trie Had Bern Preparing for War for Years, Washington. Aug. 2t. The AHBtro Hungarian Embassy gave out for publication a review of the first year of the war from the standpoint of tha Teutonic and Turkish Allies. The matter as Issued by the Embassy wss described as "A Summary of the Net Jtesulta of tha Conflict to Date," and it tim to the conclusion that "the position of Austria-Hungary and Ger many Is mot encouraging from a mil tray. economic and financial point ef view." and that the second year of the conflict had begun under "the most promising auspices for the Allies of Central Europe." The full text of the matter given out la as follows: A survey of the most Important event of the war at the end of the first 11 months of Its widespread op erations leads Inevl'ably to the con clusion that Great ITritain and her Allies were the victims of an sstound Ingly gross miscalculation when they embarked upon an adventurous un dertaking In the belief that an easy victory would be theirs.

As far back as 1812 the military party in the French Republic openly Inaugurated aggressive preparations, including the projects for bringing the colored troops of the French colonies Into line against Germany and for the in crease of the standing army by the bill known as the "three-year service law." which waa enacted by the French Parliament In 11S. The aggressive attitude of Russia waa apparent even to the casual ob server for many month before the firing of the first gun. The subver slve agliatlon carried on by Russia in Austria-Hungary, and especially In Oallcla; the tariff war Inaugurated against Germany in 1913; the thinly veiled military preparations dating as far buck as 1909, under the guise of the so-called "trial mobilisation" and Anally-the conclusion of a loan of two billion francs for the sole pur pose of the construction of a network of strategic rail fays directed against Germany and . Auitrla-Hungary, gave the lie to' the official assurances from 8t. Petersburg that the Russian Em pire was bent upon preserving tha peace of Europe In the face of Ger man provocations. In anticipation of the conflairratlon the resources of the Triple Entente: had been employed to their utmost in an endeavor to secure the co-operation of other countries against Ger many: to tamper with established loyalties and disrupt traditional friendships. Diplomacy, press cam paigns and the lever of the powerful Kranco-Ttrltlsh financial group were applied to the task of encircling the rls'ng German Empire with a ring or enmities. The late King Edward spared no efforts to entice Austria Hungary from her treaty alliances with her Western neighbor. With French support financial, political and other advantages were offered to the Dual Monarchy as unavailing In ducements to an act of International treachery which finally has been com mitted by Italy. In the light of these facts, now recalled by tragic events. It would be futile to deny that a plot to crush Germany had been carefully and tenaciously prepared by . the Triple Entente, and the protestations of the British. French and Russian Governments that tha war had been forced upon them will not bear scrutiny. In August. 1914, Germany and Austria-Hungary found themselves face to face with the most powerful coalition In history. The military achievements of the two central Pow ers are, therefore, all the more re markable. With the sole exception of a strip of the eastern part of Galicla. which is being evacuated by the Russians, the territory of Austrla- enemy. The raids end Incursions of the huge Russian armies on the east ern front, like those of the French In Alsace, have proved disastrous to the Invaders. These two striking fail ures illustrate the negative results of the mlifh'y offensive launched slmul High educational standard. Vlger. lile. Wholesnma athletics. RavMd Arts ami Scmta.

The new sixteen Inch rifle will exceed in power the two guns of the same bore recently constructed for the Panama Canal defenses, one of which is shown In the illustration." The lat ter have a total length each of forty five feet, whereas the guns now plan ned will have & length of sixty-four feet and will be .capable of hurling a projectile a ton almost twenty-five miles, . taneously In the Eat and the West against the Dual Alliaace. ' The. part played by the Attstro Hungarlan Army In the Initial phase of the operations deserves a special honorable mention. Though out numbered; and with a numerically In ferior artillery.1 th Austro-Hun-g.irians effectively undertook. In Au gust, 1914. the ' surprising drive against Krasnlk and Lublin., across the plains of Russian Poland. This movement succeeded In Its aim-- to caue,a strong diversion which com pelled the Russians to withdraw a considerable part of their forces from the North. This determined, though short-lived, offensive frustrated the sweep which the Russian had Inau gurated toward Berlin. But ' tha Austro-Hungarlan' advance. Into cen tral Poland was greatly Impeded by the mny forests nd by' the absence of roada and railways. -The. propor tion of , the Russian forces at that time concentrated against the Austro Hungarian, was approximately three or four to one. Eastern Galicla, where the numerical superiority of ' the enemy was even greater, had to be abandoned. This vast advantage In numbers en tha part of the Russians la to be explained solely by the "trial mobilization," which practically had brought the Russian Army up to its full fighting strength long before war had been declared. The Austro-Hun-garlan retirement before the over whelming Russian armies waa misin terpreted by the Triple Entente aa a collapse of the military power of the Dual Monarchy. More recent even; have served to correct this erroneous Impression, The Gorman advance In the Went, with Paris as Its objective, failed of the desired swift realization because of the resistance offered by Belgium and the Intervention of England. The failure to reach the French Capital at the first drive caused keen disap pointment In -Germany. From the German point of view the Western campaign was not brought to a suc cessful end; but It Is most unreason able to talk of a defeat of the Ger mans or of a victory for the Triple Entente on the Marne, in the sense that the operations In that region have accomplished results which can be regarded as In any way decisive-. The Germans fell berk on the line of the Atsne, where they had prepared formidable Intrenchments. Notwith standing the frequent assaults carried on with great violence by the Anglo- Franco-Belgian armies, the Germane have never budged from the positions which they had so wisely chosen. The result of the military operations in Western Europe can be defined as a German victory which has yet to be completed. A brief glance at the ac tual situation In the West 'will fur nish ample proof of this estimate of values. . No one conversant with the facta can deny the military importance of Antwerp and of the port on the Channel such aa Zeebrugge and Oa tende, held by- the Germans. The commercial and Industrial signif icance of the territory taken from the enemy Is no less Impressive. Belgium and the wealthiest part of Northern France are occupied by the German. In Belgium the coal mines, the re nowned arms factories of IJege, tha spelter works of La Vlellle Montague, the steel works of John Cockerlll In Beralng. tha Fabrlque Natlntiale d' Armea In Herstal. with the affiliated Industries, are operated by and for the Germans. In the same manner the Northern departments of France, which are the chief centers of the French Iron and textile Industry, have hPn maria avallnhla tn n.rmi. n wit- dttcHve-enterprie. Tha hortaM nt ammlinttlnn and other war materials from which the Triple Entente Allies are admittedly suffering Is the result, to a great ex tent, of Germany's conaueMs In the West The tremendous stocks of raw material of every description which wra stored In Belgium and Northern France have augmented the economic power of Germany and correspond ingly weakened that of the Allies. It Is estimated that the wool and raw materials eelied by Germany in this region are likely to keep Germsn fac- ; torles busy for a long time. Similar results. It msy be said Incidentally, have been achieved by the Dual Allies to some extent In Russian Poland, wher coal and other mines are hen by them. The cotton stored In LoJi snd other Polish textile Venters h been removed partly to Germany and partly to Austria-Hungary, for use in the mills of those countries. In the F.Hxtern thia'er of operation the Dust A'iles have practical) rU n d out the Russian armies.

Whether the bulk of the Russian armies or a conwldrable part of them will be able So fall hack upon the sec ond line of BreKt-LItovsk Is atlll an open Question. , But In any event it Is Dure nonsense to eneak of the Rus sian forces as intact and unbroken after the heavy lossea inflicted upon them In the last three monvns., j.5 number ,of Russians captured since May 4 certainly mounts up to a total Wf between 760.000 and 800.000 artd several hundreds of thousands in ad dition, have been wounded or otner- wlse incapacited. Even admitting thai the Russian armies who forced the Austro-Oermans at the beginning of May had a fighting etrengtn of 000 men a figure which is rather too hleh those armies i lost in three months between' 25 and 80 per ceni, Of their effective resources in men. Besides, iftere are hardly any officers left, a fact indicated by the extra or dinary dlsorocortlon of officer to men among the prisoners captured. The ratio often amounts to four or five offi cers to a thousand men, whereas tne normal proportion would be 30 to, a 1.000. ' The loss of more than one- third of Russia's guns, and the known lack of ammunition, are factory of VI"-' tal value. whOch. taken with ihe otner losses, leave no doubt that the of fensive power of Russia is broken. A least for the time being. It is not likelv that she will he able to resume an active part In the operations before the beginning of next year, or, pos sible not until next Spring. , w , A situation of advantage for the Dual Allies la presented In the Turk- ishnheater of events, as in the West ern and Eastern regions. The Otto man Entplrer Joined, the Austro-Ger-mans on vital consldeartlons of self preservation. The Turks knew that Russia and her Allies were ben I upon driving her out of Europe; that a Russian, or a British victory would mean the end of Turkey. The Otto mans, therefore, did not hesitate to attack themselves to their na'.lural Al lies, the Germans and the Ausiro Hungariana How effective from the military standpoint has proved this combination of forces can be seen by a brief glance a tha situation at the Dardanelles. The historic straits have proved a common grave for the Allies of the Triple Entente: powerful bat tleships have been sunk In Turkish water; British and French regiments have been decimated, all to no Pur pose, as the' Dardanelles have been made well-ntght Impregnable even to the a Hacks of such formidable ships as the Queen Elizabeth. .The, glorious firaditlona of the gallant Turkish sol diers, this time reinforced by German efficiency, are being confirmed anew by their heroic resistance to tha des perate onslaughts of the Allies. Italy, forgetful of her pledge and repudiating her National honor, has been misled into perpetrating -the most shocking act of treachery, under circumstances which soon will be ex plained in detail in this country.. From a military point of view the Italians are making wha must be ad mitted to be a poor showing, despite the preparations which they had been carrying on for many months before their Intervention in behalf of the Triple Entente. Austria-Hungary was forced however reluctantly the realisation that she had been faithful for more than 0 years to an ally who was ready to Ignore all her own ob ligations when the first occasion arose whereby she might benefit by dis loyalty. The superior leadership and fighting qualities of the AusTo-Hun-garian troops, however, are once more asserting themselves against the Ital ian naval and military forces. The political consequences of Italy's un precedented treachery will ba far reaching. . ; . Greece and other Balkan States which' might have been induced 1o align themselves with the Triple En tente are now more than ever inclined to maintain their neutrality The tut look for the Dual Alliance In the Bal kans has Improved decidedly since the first stage of 'Ihe war. Bulgaria has reached an understanding with Tur key, and Rumania Is freely selling her grain and her mineral oil to the Cen tral Powers. It has now become conclusively evi dent that the attempt of the Allies to starve he civilian population of Ger many, Austria-Hungary and Turkey has ended In complete failure. It may be conceded that the arbitrary Interference with neutral trade In non-contraband goods on the part of Great Britain has caused much In-, convenience and some suffering 'to In- j nocent civilians of the new Triple A1-1 Dance;' but the ultimate aim of this hlRh-handed policy tias been frustrat- j ed, snd Germany and Austria-Hungary as well aa Turkey have convinced the world that they are self-supporting and cannot be starved. The Brlt tsh tniratar-tdea that the British viary can effectively blockade the coast of the enemy countries, and thus ruin those countries, dates back to the Napoleonic struggle and ttTlh Civil War In this country. It Is an antl filiated oonceptlon of the obsolete British Admiralty. This yssr's her. vest has been gathered, and the crop are so plentiful that Germany and Austria-Hungary are amply assured of food supplies on II the next har vest. The temporary dlMContlnuance e rtne use of copper fr electro technical purposes has made the ex isting stock of the metal available for the manufacture of ammunition and other war materials. Should the sup ply run short, the chemists and en gineers of Austria-Hungary snd Ger many have demonstrated their ability to produce substitutes. Prices of all commodities In the countries of the new Triple Alliance have not rUen td a higher level than they have attain ed In proud Albion, which claims to rule the oceaa-ways. Germany's sub. marine warfare ha ru"1 a conNunt rln In prices In the p.ritNh market: and this economic feature hsseontrib. uted greatly to the unpopularity of the war among 'lie . laboring ci.fis f Britain.

By contract, in Ger many and Austria-Hungary all 'Jhe money spent for war supplies remains at home and amlntalns the home in dustries. , .,' ; ., The war loans of the' various coun tries involved In the conflict furnish a significant commentary upon the rel ative position of the opposing groups of Powers. - The magnificant success of the loans floa led In' Germany and Austria-Hungary compared favorably with the financial opeartlons of their enemies. France has proved wholly unprepared for the heavy financial burden ' which she has 1 undertaken, and the French middle classes have shown no signs of a willingness to give up their savings for war bonds of doubtful value. In Italy the war loan has been a splendid failure, or, use the Italian word., a fiasco. 1 Russia finds itself In a most dis tressing financial condition. Russian paper money Is subject to a discount of 40 per cent, and a Russian loan is practically an Impossibility. ' " Great Britain's financial resources, however great, are not inexhaustible, and the consequences of the terrific strain, already, are being felt-in -4fte United Kingdom. England will bo unable to continue Indefinitely in her role of bapker to the Allies. Despite the announcements of the success of the 4 1-2 per cent British loan, bv news agencies and official reports ii Is epparent that transaction has proved a Ml luxe. Considerable depreciation Is shown In the value of stocks rated at many billions of dollars, now forc ed down to a 3 and 1-2 per cent basis under the depressing effects of tho conversion of British Consols! uum a w to i-j per cent., Indica tions are hot lacking that Great Brit ain's wealth will be exhausted if the war lasts another yearand Kitch ener's fanciful . prediction is that it will last considerably longer than that. , , ,., . .,. i ' , . . To sum up the situation. It can be asserted confldentaly that the posl'don of Austria-Hungary and Germany Is most encouraging frm a military, economic and financial point of view. These countries have suffered from the war, but their enemies have suit fered far more than they. The sec ond year of the conflict has begun un der the most nromlslng auspices for the Allies of Central Europe. , " ; Chain Armor for Battleships. . (From The Providence Journal.) The Idea of torpedo nets, with which the Navy Department Is said to be conducting experiments. Is about as old , as the torpedo, against which they are supposed to protect a war ship. Our wooden fleet used to carry them" and drill . with them. There were no sea-going torpedo boats In those days, surface or submersible.

The danger of submarine at tack Is not so extreme when a ship is In .motion as a feat of torpedo practice the sinking of the Lusltania was regarded as phenomenal, by the experts and, at any rate, a com mander, engaging the enemy on she surface, would not sacrifice speed, or ability to maneuver, to this doubtful expedient for torpedo . defense.
