and varied experiences who has just
apen' several weeks in Germany. What
he says discounts greatly tho Dutch
and Danish newspaper stories o the
effect that Germany is seriously feeling
the pinch OF war.
The writer. who. according to the
TiHtcS. knows Germany extremely well
and possesses careful Judgment, says No
saw no sign OF German straits In any
irnportan; respect. There Is an un-
shaken determination TO continue the
war. The people. he says. are extremely
hopeful and are making prodigious ef-
forts to cconOmize their staying power.
The Times say the whole series OF
articles give "A picture Of wonderful.
machinelike organization moving with
great srnothness. and contends that the
Niles mus. press forward their prepa-
at'ons with the utmost energy without
specializing on the prospect OF no ma
