A Prophecy.
Charleston American.
After these two years of deep con
sideration, Germany would not have
launched her submarine campalgiT'uh
less, as Bernstorff says, she hac
weighed every possible development
She is sure of success.
Illusive equations about this war
and about every war, are the superfici
al elements of numbers and resources
Measured by these, unquestionably
the allies have the advantage. Bui
one has only to read history it
see that neither numbers nor resourc?
es are the determinants of battle.
Since this war broke out, we have
heard many people refer, and espec
ially in the beginning, to the analog*
of the north and south, whereon thev
based the prediction that while tin
south fought valiantly always ana
victoriously for a while, we were tu
the end overborne by the weight 01
or?/^ uoolfVi qtiH that Rllfh WOllTfl
be the fate of Germany, however, foi
a time, it might appear she was win
ning the war. But like all analogies
there is danger of inexactness In
them. The south was not a nation,
but a confederacy, loosely united dui
ing hasty moments preceding the war
the very object of which was her to
tal destruction. The constitution ol
the confederacy expressly granted tc

cession whenever they willed. The>
were indeed but a rope of sand. Tht
principle upon which they were basec
was the principle of national irrespon
sibility. Hence they had no credit tt
begin with, and the fugitive credii
which they established on the field 01
battle ebbed and flowed with the for
tunes of war. Printing presses were
not enough to give stability to the
value of confederate money.
The north was a nation, of giam
credit and inexfiaustiDie resources, u
had from the beginning every attri
-v bute of solidarity and power, an arm>
and navy, and an established diplom
acy. It was never necessary for hei
ambassadors to cool their heels in the
chancellories of Europe until admis
sion was granted by favor. From the
beginning to the end of the war, the
Confederate government was never
recognized by any respectaoie power
Germany, on the other hand, and het
three allies, were not only established
throughout the world when the wai
broke out, but the House of Austr's
was the oldest dynasty in Europe.
Germany had an immense navy, stu^
irhile not the largest, easily the most
efficient, army on earth. Austria wae
supposed to be lacking somewhat in
these elements, but she has revealed
under the stress of war inmmens*
strength. Bulgaria has justified hei
record of marvelous efficiency in tn*
Balkan wars, and Turkey, under the
leadership of German generals, ha*
redeemed her ancient military fame.
The four central powers are conti
guous, and by the absorption of Ser
bia, Belgium and Rumania and the
industrial section of France, together
with the only valuable part of Russia,
including also her industrial section,
they are fighting on a united, highly
organized front, served by the best
strategic railways in the world, easi
ly multiplying two or three fold theii
men and munitions'and m^kins: th^n:
available for the moment at any de
cisive point; wheresis, the enemies
of Germany are scattered, heterogen
eous and totally unable through dif
ference fo language and lac? of com
mon purpose, to unite their paper su
periority. Besides, there is grea
truth in the Shakespearean adage;
"Thrice armed is he who hath his
ntiarrol inst "
The answer of the allies to the
president's anpeal for reace has re
vealed their predatory intent:ons. II
anything were needed in Germany tc
awaken the last spark of unity, ii
would be supplied by this latest dis
closure which strips from the face ol
England the mask of democracy, t<
reveal her ugly* leer of empire.
it is at this juncture that Germany
weigning me couscqucutco, iauuv,u?
her submarine war. We shall not re
peat her justification. We shall con
tent ourselves now with making some
concrete predictions. Heretofore
England has boasted of her "splen
