Neither can conquer.

It would require a million more men than the Allies can command and a very long time to drive the Germans back across Belgium.

Presently, if the Russians succeed in driving the Germans back to German soil, there will be another trench stalemate there.

Thus the war wears a practically endless outlook so far as military operations are concerned.

Germany has plenty of men and plenty of food for a long struggle yet; and, if she use all the copper now in domestic use in the Empire, she will probably have also plenty of ammunition for a long struggle.
