A Great Military Expert Prognosticates Events at the Close of the War I Assuming that the German attatk on France absolutely fails, and that 38. Similar fat-e attends the actions of rule German fleet against ours, one Imust presuppose a, tremendous wave of enthusiasm sweeping over the armies invading Germany WhiCh must carry them over the different {frontiers well on the road to Ber- nin, writes a. great military expert in London Answers. Step by step the German arm’ies must be ima- gined as recoiLing, on the one hand, from the French forces, swelled by the British Expeditionary Army, ‘and, on the other hand, from the enormous Russian masses moving with slow but irresistible momentum towards the same goalâ€"Benlin. The Imperial family will be look- ed upon by Germans as was Napoâ€" leon 'III. during the sorrowful days of the disasters in the war of ’70â€" with feelings of the bitterest hatred. ‘If history teaches us any lesson at all, it is that. if a. victorious emper- or can ask nothing too much of his subjects, a, defeated emperor must, expect no mercy. When Napoleon was losing there were few to say a. good word for him. In Peaceful Solitude. Thus it, is safe to argue than the Kaiser, being regarded as persorn‘ ally responsible for the awful plight of the country, will precipitate a movement against, his dynasty that may become *too violent, to check. crowns, but I ha-rdly think the Kai~ set would feel comfortable living at -'I‘wickenham, where King Manuel evnsoles himself for the loss of his kingdom, or even Farnborough, where Napoleon III. made his home, and where his widow, the ex- Empress Eugenie, lives today. No; I think the Austrian 'I‘yrol, or somewhere in the Bay of Naples, more appropriately fits the picture. Such an ant-idynastic movement would probably be initiated by the commercial interests in Germany. I was going to mention England as a possible refuge for the Emper- or, noting its popularity as a. home of monarchs who have lost their The anti-dynastic movement may take two forms. There may be a. strong Socialistic movement to- ‘wards the establishment of a. repub- lic to replace the present autocratic form of government, or there may be an overwhelming feeling in the direction of breaking up the con- federacy. and resolving the Empire into a, series of strong, independent states again. The German fortresses are enorâ€" mously strong. but nothing can withstand the onslaught of a. wellâ€" direcited army with magnificent art tillery such as the French Army 18 equipped with. The forts of Gel- ogne, Strassburg, and Ehrenbreit- stein, much larger and mountlng heavier guns than those at Liege, must fall to the attack of deter- mined forces in sufficient strength, and able to bring to bear guns of the right calibre, and, once the plain of the German invasion of France has been thoroughly foiled, we must suppose the French Army sweeping everything before it. When Pa nie Threatens. With both France and Russia threatening the German capital, and her sea. commerce totally paw lyzed by the operations of our Fleet, the German armies must conâ€" tinue to give battle under the most disheartening conditions which pre- clude the idea. of any victory of sufficient importance to retrieve the 'bampaign. Panic will begin to spread through the Fatherland, and with panic will come disillusionment and a, terrific revulsion of feeling. The German people, who for years have been taught that German arms were invincible, will feel that they have been made the owtspaw of an unscrupulous set of»ga,mbzlers. If the Emperor survives all vicis- situdes. one might, having regard to all the pessibilities‘ fore-see him and his family exiled to some quiet spot where his power for mischief would be for ever gone. Whether Gemiany will sue for peace before the invadingammies acâ€" tuadb' reach Berlin is of little im- portance.

More important even than the be] ritorial changes will be the influenc lnn armaments. Europe will fin 'itself leatt in such a. terrible econc mic position that the_Powers will b compelled to meet and settle a, pla. for the reduction of armaments. They will insist on Germany re duci-ng her army to unformida-bl Denmark, in recognition of her good behavior during the war, may demand, and with every hope of sucâ€" cess, the restoration to her of Schleswig-Holetein. What Belgium’s reward would be is impossible to say. Possibly a monetary one. There is nothing terriboriwlly that could be offered this tight; little kingdom, for one has to have regard in all these frontier adjustmen¢s to the sentiments and race origin of the people whose land it is proposed to divert. Belgium would never ask to be loaded with such a thankless ‘gift as a, German province that might be a. canker to her as Alsace-Lorraine has been to Germany. ‘ How far Gemmny will sufler will depend largely on internal condiâ€" tions and her ability to bargain. armies will demand a. war indem- nity not 8(5 large as they might wish, because of the necessity for preServ- ing Germany from going into bank- ruptcy, but still heavy enough to cripple the Fatherland for years, and, more important still, will in- sist on huge territorial adjustments, everything being done to remove artificial frontiers between kindred races. Servia, who should have conquer- ed Bosniaâ€"Herzegovina from Ausâ€" tria, will be given authority to re- tain what is hens by right unchalâ€" lenged. I am prophesying that Italy will be strong enough to withstand the bullying of the other two members of the Triple Alliance. If she does so, her reward will be the restora- tion of the Italia. Irreden-ta, that little triangle, with Trieste at the extreme left-hand corner and Fiume at the extreme right-hand corner, which formed part of the Old Vene- tian Republic, and was filehed from her by rthe Ha-pvsburgs. Expelled From Turkey. for other Balkan states whose conduct has been beyond reproach there will also be territorial reâ€" wards. Turkey stands to lose most. If she controls her ambitions, all will be well with her. If she elects to make trouble during the war, the Powers of the Triple Entente may decide, for the sake of the future peace of Europe, to expel her en- tirely from Europe. Russia. then might, with some reaâ€" son, ask for rthe reward she has always coveted â€" Constantinople. Probably the arrangement that would be made would be to join the remainder of the Turkish European Empire to some Sllav state in symâ€" pathy with Russia, so that, even if Russia, didn’t actually get Constan- tinople, she would be the command- ing influence there. The absorpâ€" tion of all Poland into the Musco- vite Empire is certain. Roumzmia. would be terriboriadly enriched art the expense of Austria, in accordance with the line of race, and the Powers might decide to end the comic-opera. business of the A1- ba-nian monarchy by passing her on to one of the Balkan states. Generally, the efiect of the crush ing defeat of Germany and Austria Hungary will be to reduce consid erany the boundaries of the tw< empires. Whatever else happens, however, the loss of her colonies and Alsaceâ€" Lorraine are certain. Equally cer< min is the loss to Austria. of Bosnia and Herzegovina and almost as cerâ€" tain the loss of the Italia Irredenm. Arms and the Nations. The Whole of the budding Colonial Empire of Germany will disappear. I hope We shall not take any of her colonies, for we have enough and to spare already, and, in any case, Germany’s ovenseas possessions are not of much account. Possibly we may consent to them being pan-celled out equally between Russia. and Franqe, commuting ourselves with Togoland, and passing Kim-Chew over to Ja-pan. France o'ervtarin‘ly will insist on the slice taken from the French Congo being restored to her. 7 It is a. foregone conclusion that Alsace-Lorraine, which has always been a thorn in the side of Germany and a. sourCe of weakness to her, will be restored to France.

Col'onies Going Begging. The restoration of Alsace-Lor- ra-in-e will pave the way to better relations between the French and German peoples, whom the two pro- vinces have always kept apart; the loss of Germany’s colonies will cause her to concentrate on the de- velopment of her wonderful home resources, and build up her com- merce afresh, the proper safeguard- ing of which no one will wish to preâ€" vent.
