The question then is, why the allies turn the Germans out France and Belgium ? One reason is that the power of the defence is greater with modern weapons and entrenchments than the power of of- fence. There is probably no positio on the whole line that either army ould not take if it was determined to do so. It is simply a question ot concentrating sufficient forces on that wink and suffering the inevitable losses. Masses can take any position military masters affirm, © .only the price must be paid in losses. A posi tion is taken at a loss greater than has been inflicted and the winners apon advancing find themselves against another position, which also may be taken.
