This collapse has given Ge« many a obages to utilise in the West the troops that otherwies would have been retained and fally occupied in the East. I: has given her another year's supply of men for the Weat. Her condition at the end of this time, if she does not win victory or peace, will be far worse than be fore, but this is a future consider- ation. To-day she is better off, because she has new divisions to draw upon.

A complete collapse of Russia and, the signing of a separate Desce between Germany and Russia will only make the witos- tion worse. Then I firmly believe the outcome of the wat ́will depend upon the number of bundreds of thousands of men the United States can put on the western front by this time next year. Beyond next year the war cannot, go. Daring next year Germany will collapse economi- cally, all ways, if the struggle is prolonged. This is the common assertion of the Germans them.
