A layman is privileged to doubt it. Experience so far indicates —the German attack on Verdun, for instance —that where there is anything like equality of terms in the personnel of the army and the supply of munitions mere attrition in mass push against mass is a poor reliance. It seems more probable that the end of the war will develope in a manner as unexpected as its beginning. It may be in the air, or at sea, or just physchologically, like that upheave! which suddenly paralyzed Russia’s fighting force. As the war stands after three years the only certainty is a purely psychologic one. Tolstoy said —in a generalization no doubt too broad —that every battle was won by the leader who was most determiped to win it. Given the Teuton situation, with a decided strategic advantage, and the ally situation, with a decided advantage in resources, there is no doubt this war will be won by the side that is most determined to win it—when or how nobody can pretend to say. The best evidence that the federal control of the situation will bring a lower price on coal, is that so many are trying to take from Senator Pomerene, the credit he deserves for the coal amendment.
