The Stratford Evening Post WITH WHICH IS INCORPORATED THE EGMONT SETTLER FRIDAY, JUNE 30, 1916. THE OUTLOOK.

The New York message referring to the internal state of Germany is, like many other Yankee statements, piobably a pure figment of imagination on the part of some brilliant journalist, but nevertheless, it is good imagining, andjis probably quite near the mark. We can well picture many unpainted scenes in which Hollneg, Hellfericli and other members of the German Cabinet weep and gnash their teeth, and we can guess at many heated but unpublished controversies in which the high notes are hatred and despair at the failure of Germany’s foul ambitions. Therefore the shot the New York cablegram makes is a fairly good one. Disaster and bankruptcy the Government of Germany knows to be inevitable, and the music of the British guns on the Western front is now beating those facts into the stolid brains of our enemies on all hands. The hour we have been waiting for and building up our reserves of men and munitions for, is surely at band. British artillery appears to be working havoc and desolation along the whole German front, the indications being that in so far as heavy guns and the supply of munitions is concerned, the Allies now have the advantage. Bo far as the Russian advance is concerned, even if General Brussiloff is unable to immediately} push the enemy back much further, he lias done a magnificent piece of work. The total Austrian losses on the Russian front in the last two or three weeks must bo at least half as groat as the French estimate of tbo Gorman losses in as many mouths in front of Verdun. At this latter groat centre of attack the Germans have gained nothing in reality. The splendid spirit of France’s soldiers still triumphs, and the simple but terrible object of the Allies’ military leaders—to kill the enemy as the shortest and most humanitarian road to a righteous peace—is being relentlessly pursued. The Huimish trail of brutality is such jin every place they have violated by their presence that no mercy can bo shown when the Allies’ day arrives.
