respondent writes to the Paris Constitu-
TONED: ''The necessity of doing quickly
is part of the political constitution of
mobiIzed Prussia. She is an armed ma
ton. We are nation which has an
army: We can carry on a war for six
months, year, two years, as vas nee
essary at Sebastapol. Prussia cannot do
this, because her resources are all drain
ed whereas, ours are only commencing.
1t Is we who will yet dictate conditions
of peace. This is the opinion of foreign
politicians, notably those of Austria. 1t
is also that of Bismarck, although the
Journals IN his pay sing on every key
that Prussia Is prepared to carry on the
war to any length.
Another letter, of late date, remarks:
The strategy of the Prussian Generals
Is exclusively directed to pitched battles,
which they look upon as the only decis-
I've efforts, to the complete neglect of
artillery and siege tactics. For the last
fifty years they have only provided them
selves for open wars and not in view of
sieges, which they pretend to be useless,
thanks to the success which their organ
izatlon permits them to achieve in short
campaign"
