WAR CORRESPONDENT
DESCRIBES TRENCHES
Oswald F. Schuette Speaks on
Great Conflict At National
Press Club.

A description Of the battle lines Of the
EmropesSn war and life In the German
trenches was furnished members OF the
National Press Club last night by Os-
wald F. Schuette. a former Washington
newspaper man. who has spent several
months At the front as the correspon-
dent OF the Chicago Daily News. Mr..
schuette's lecture was given on the roof
garden Of the club.
That Germany Is confident OF winning
was asserted bv Mr.. schuette. who Is
soon to return to Berlin.
Each nation fears to come out and
say that it wants peace" he said. be
cause such u statement will be Mt cnce
accepted as an announcement Of Its own
defeat. From a military standpoint. 1t
seems Germany cannot be beaten. She
has been doing practically all Of her
lighting on foreign soil. But can she
beat the enormous coalition Of power
that stands against her? No one can
measure the resources Of the allies
when the war will end nobody
knows. Having been in Berlin and in
the trenches, having seen the activi-
ties of the Gerr an people both at war
and at horc l know the Germans be-
iieve they cannot lose. 1t would take
millions OF men to ever. make dent
in their lines in northern France; they
have food supplies enough to last until
December and they have an abundance
faith In their own ability and
power"
From q military standpoint. the
speaker said, there is no end Of the
war in sight. although politically It
could be ended by fall. The general
that the United States wants to fight
Germany-this impression having been
created by editorials IN q few rabid
American newspapers which have been
cabled abroad.
