, They have fought wei in open order Indeed, the great war machine, a model among scientific destructors, is content to learn from events and from the enemy not least from the British The theorists vanish.
 So much must be said, not in the de- sire of commenting the enemy. but for the sake of a clear view of the stua- tion. Germany has sufficient conf dcnce in her resources to face the pros pect of a long war, and the length can only be abbreviated by matching Ger man arrangements with at least equal preparations in men and in material and by acquiring as large confidence in the prospect of a continued war
 We have a new sort of enemy to fight an enemy that has learned it's own weaknesses and it's enemYs strength. and no longer, banks on the knockout blow. The German who hides himself in the boughs of a scrub oak and picks off careless Tommy in q trench 300 wards off is not the same sort of enemy as did the goosestep through Brussels in August. He has learned
 The difficulty of any prophecy as to the length of the war in any quarter of France or Belgium lies in the fact that q new military art is being daily perfected by all those engaged, and the most adaptable will best succeed
 In this war every one is a learner, and the Germans are certainly not the most backward learners It had never been proved how for trenches could hecome-may l say residential How far they could be made artillery proof. and how far impresnabe by wire en- tanglements A domestic point which no military authority had considered is how long they can remain sanitary
 Many of the trenches will strike a guest as almost charming When there k plenty of straw and the stove there ale always four to each Belgium bat tery burns freely, and the enemvs artillery is remote, and sayory soup is being distributed, the trenches seems to you an almost Arcadian home, even in

 But the worst of a trench apart from all questions of attack and de fense-is that the longer you live in ii the worse it becomes. The Germans have certainly retreated in some places because they had made their own trenches untenable; they were them selves their own fever and pain" One might imagine a state of war in which victory went not to the stoutest or cleverest. but to the cleanest Hitherto the Germans have certainly suffered most in their fight against in- sanitation of many sorts. The state If the wounded and prisoners proves it.
 But the Germans are people who learn. They have built and are build well regulated as their wonderful municipal flats. At some centers they now possess underground barracks. all most cities, which are perfectly proof against bombs, and as far as may he against the fevers that accompany dirt.
 In the British trenches there is now almost standardized system of "bac> offices" which are progressive. The kitchens are the most perfect architect ural feat of the whole establishment and are joined to the trenches by bomb proof corridors.
 1 would emphasize this not to suggest any great British superiority, but to impress the fact that this excellence | must be maintained
 A handy stove, a good digging tool. a
 waterproof boot, a washing essence may have as crucial an influence on this or that part of the campaign as d new mortar or cycle gun or canal boat The energy shown by the German na- ton into details of this sort. and other much minuter details, has become Ncr>

NORTH OF F'RANCE-We all know the Germans have been long preparing for war--at any rate. for thirty years They made their principal preparations with excess of theory, and to the end of a short sharp campaign.
 These intentions have to some extent gone by the board, but the mark of the campaign at the moment is not so much the partial failure of the past ali inns and ideas of the Germans as their amazing versatility in meeting and acknowledging conditions that had not been anticipated.
 It seems to me quite beyond question that the German staff is facing with deliberate determination d long war for which new methods and forces must be prepared.
 We know that special instruments are being continually invented and manu- faetured, from the new celluloid tents for the motor drivers to the special drainage spades for trenches or the cleaning essences" for the men
 In spite of doctrinaire militarists. who have sent thousands to their graves with quite useless generosity. the Germans give proof daily of that ready versatility which has proved a prime cause of their success in com merce
 \ few months ago infantry were re garded as slave squadrons, as a con- crete filling for trenches. as food for cannon. Today many of the German infantry have broken the shackles of generations of theory. They still chiefly rely, as well they may on the number of their machine guns. but the number of German sharpshooters is very large
