Abstract

The Week

The article presents information on the political developments around the world during the late 1910's. From every point of view this German victory is utterly deplorable. It can only have the effect of hampering the reform movement in Germany, of stiffening the Junker and therefore, of prolonging the war. The article also focuses on Paris, France. The condition of unstable equilibrium at Paris has been terminated with the departure of statesman Alexandre Ribot from the Foreign Office. The Painleve Cabinet may now be expected to hold out for some time to come, since it is not to be supposed that, after resigning, it would proceed to buckle on the harness again without assurances that the steadfast opposition it has encountered from the first will quiet down.
