FIRMLY DENIES GERMAN
FORCES ARE EXHAUSTED
Effort to Wear Out Teutons on
Somme Failure, Says
Berlin Critic.

BERLIN October 14-In answer to
the views of Gems. Joffre and Haig as
to the results of the Anglo-French Of
fensive on the Somme, and also in re-
viewing the situation on other fronts
the military critic of the Overseas
News Agency. semi official bureau
writes:
Just as Gen. Joffre did. Gen. Haig
now feels obliged to strike a balance
of the Somme battle. His review of the
result of the battle, which already has
waged more than three months, was
published a few days ago. In it the
British commander takes view curl
ously opposite to that taken by the
French commander, who considers the
gain of terrain as the main result.
But Little Accomplished.
THE British general says: The un-
interrupted systematic pressure of the
entente armies must finally exhaust the
morale and material forces of the CEN
trail powers, especially as to the exist
ing reserves of war material This So
called strategy of wearing out their
opponents, through which a great de-
cision of the war was expected, how
ever has accomplished very little as
proved by the great successes gained
by the central powers, who still have
such forces at their disposal that they
are able to carry out gigantic often
sives Thus it is evident their reserves
cannot be exhausted, but rather there
must still exist considerable abun-
dance of forces.
THE glorious victories by these troops
in the Balkans and in Pennsylvania,
after the heavy fighting on the Somme
and in Galicia, further proves that their
morale cannot have been lowered by
systematic pressure but rather must
have been uplifted.
THAT German troops cannot take the
offensive when other troops take the
offensive in other war theaters stimuli
taneously must be self-evident to every
one who knows the extension of the
fronts on which Germany fights today.
While the English front is only 135
kilometers long and the French $50
kilometers. Germany fights on front
LOO kilometers in length.
Claim Held Empty Words.
The entente repeats from time to
time the asseveration that Germany is
exhausted. but this claim is merely
EMPTY words and advertising in order
to impress neutrals and to stimulate
their own nations and armies. The
vict orious defense in the east and west
and, the energetic offensive of the CEN
traI powers in Transylvania and the
Balkans prove better than words the
fact that the forces and military su-
periority of the central powers are un-
shaken.
England hoped to wear out the Ger
man forces by the present offensive on
the Somme, but this can now be consld-
cred a failure. 1t is the aggressor who
will be worn out more than the de-
fender.
How little the entente has succeeded
in exhausting the morale and material
forces of Germany by uninterrupted
systematic pressure and how little
German confidence in victory has been
shaken, was proved by the splendid re-
suit of the latest war loan. These 10
5CO. .OO0, 600 marks tell the whole world
that Germany is fully decided and Will
carry ont the war to a victorious end.
