WHO HAS WON.

THE POINTS WELL PUT.

New York Tribune forms an interesting commentary on the views of those critics who see Germany victorious in all her operations: “As between the British and the Germans, no one should mistake the advantage that rests with the former. The British have taken five prisoners to the Germans ’ one, and five gun® to the Germans ’ one. They have occupied more than a square miles of German colonial territory, whereas the Germans have not reached a foot of British territory. They have banished the German flag from the sea. j They have blockaded the German ports. They have destroyed the bases of German trade. By every sign and token that one can adduce, the British have triumphed over the Germans s o far as the war has been a struggle between those two nations. Were the war to end to-day, on the basis of things as they are, so far as the British and Gormans are concerned no one could. fail to concede the extent of the British victory. ”
