(From The Boston Herald.)
It is interesting to recall what the distinguished military strategist General Nogi said at the time of the siege of Port Arthur, and note how accurately he located the field on which the future of Europe would be fought out and determined. His words were:
"I believe that the world will witness a great war, which will have all Europe for its battle ground, and will settle the Franco-German question and the Anglo-German rivalry. France and Germany will meet in this last decisive conflict on the Belgian plains, probably near Waterloo, the only spot which will permit of the evolution of the immense armies which will face each other. At the present time the French and German frontiers are too strongly fortified for either people to force its way through. I have little doubt as to the result of this war. France will beat Germany on land, and England will crush Germany at sea.
"This war will be the last in Europe for many a day, perhaps forever; the German states will emerge from this war so exhausted and so terrified that they will have no other object than to form some sort of condition that may in the future obviate the recurrence of any such catastrophe."
