GERMANY’S PROSPECTS
UNFITTED FOR LONG WAR
PRESSURE FROM NAVY (Elec. Tel. Copyright—United Press Assn.) (Rccd. Sept. 2, 1 mm.) LONDON, Sept. 1. The Daily Telegraph, in a leading article, discussing Germany’s prospects in :a_ fight, on two fronts, says: “In a military sense, Poland is no despidiabde »opponent, .'even against the embattled might of Germany, and Germany's belief that her western defences are impregnable would probably not survive the test of such an assault as t-ha-t which would be launched against them. From, the moment war is actually declared, German commerce would disappear from the seas, and the silent pressure of o'ur navies would be felt more speedily than in the last war in a country far less fitted in agricultural and financial resources for a long struggle. “The people of Germany can bo no longer deluded into believing that they would have to deaf in a war provoked by their rulers with an opponent who was weak and without friends.”
