BY J. w. t. MASON,
Former European Manager Of the

NEW YORK, Aug. 14-11 a. m.)--
German defeats are becoming a little
too monOtOnous to be real. and it is
well to bear in mind that Germans
isolation AS a news center continues.
The fighting to the west of the Meuse
between Diest and Eghezee in no
sence Is made up of battles. No
battle in the modern military mean-
ing Of the word has yet heen fought.
Germany is trying TO discover the
distribution and weakness of the
allies along the Meusc and the af-
trays being reported are no more
than simply reconnaissance in force,
aS has been pointed out In this
column. The reports issued by the
allies that their own positions re-
main intact and that the German adj
tance was checked are true
Technically, but they can be easily
misunderstood. The allies probably
have several hundred Thousand men
In Belgium. That the disposition Of
these troops could be fOrcibIy altered
by five thousand or ten thousand
German skirmishers Is palpably
absurd; while the retreat Of the
Germans is not a victory for the al
lies unless these recOnnOitering ex-
petitions have learned nothing. The
very necessity for retreating may
give the German general stan exact
~ the information It desires. The
important fact to bear in mind is
Chat Germany wants 10 select her
cwn battlefield if she advances across
the Mouse and where that battle
field viii be depends largely upon
The -deieatsr now being administered

lntimations are contained in dis
patches from Brussels that the allies
are throwing up entertainments be-
tween Meuse and Brussels. If this
Is so we shall have an opportunity
of judging the effective nature of
Uermany's mass tactics under more
favorable conditions than has been
possible before the Liege forts. 1t is
a principle Of German strategy to ad-
vance along an entire front in field
operations, while the French authori-
ties believe an echelon formation is
better because it allows sudden
changes in direction to be ordered.
The allies are undoubtedly mining
part Of the territory the Germans
must cross, and as successful
planting Of a mine field before Liege
demonstrated, the havoc of mines on
massed formation is terrific.

The reports that the German COM
missariat has broken down are very
likely partly true. This branch Of
the Kaiser's army service has been
criticized for a number of years as
likely to reveal serious weakness in
actual warfare. The economic prob
lens OF the German army are in the
hands OF the same military caste that
directs the strategy of the army. 1t
has been pointed out by critics that
these military officials are inclined
10 hold aloof from industrial and
commercial matters, and in conse-
quencc do not possess the intimate
economic knowledge necessary to
maintain the commissariat for an
army of a million men.
The suggestion recently was made
tNat as soon as hostilities broke out,
tie Kaiser should form a council Of
trust magnates and place in the hands
OF Germany's chief captains of indus
try the economic problems Of the
army. II the maintenance difficulty
