 BERLIN. Oct 13.-(By Wireless to Slyviue)-In answer to the views of Generals JOffre and Haig as to the re- suits of the Anglo French offensive on the Somme and also in reviewing the situation on other fronts, the military critic of the Overseas News Agency, a semi-official bureau, writes:
 Just as General Joffre did, General Haic now feels obliged tO strike a bal ance of the Somme battle. His review uf the result of the battle was published l few days ago. In it the British commander takes a view curiosly op- posite Co that taken by the French commander. who considers the gain of Terrain as the main result.
 The British general says: The un interrupted systematic pressure of the entente armies must finally exhaust The morale and material forces of the central powers, especially as to the eX- l~firg reserves of war material This s1-Called strategy of wearing out their opponents. through which a great de- ,isiou of the war was expected. how ever. has accomplished very little. as proved by the great successes of the central powers. Thus it is evident that their reserves cannot be exhausted but rather there must still exist a cOnsid- eHtle abundance of forces.
 -rhe glorious victories by these troops iu the Balkans and in Transyl- 1ua. after the heavy fighting on the Smme and in Galicia. further proves tl-t 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 r lf h4f la >ef-evdeut to every one who knows rHe extension of the fronts on which Germany fights today. While the Eng l-S1 front Is only l35 kilometers long and the French 530 kilometers, Ger many lEhts on a front of 1,700 kilo- meters iu length.
 -ISmauia which was expected to N-.-- a decision for the entente, is rather brake on their progress and of no acvantage. especially since the Rus sian armies at present. by reason of the complete failure of their offensive in I1lciI. in which they suffered enor- mpUs losses. are debilitated to such a ae-ree that they are obliged for the time being to leave Rumania to her fate.
 The entente repeats from time to time the assertion that Germany is eX- ilusted. but this claim is merely empty words and advertising to affect neu- trals and to stimulate their own na- lions and armies. The defense in the cast and the west and the energetic offensive of the central powers in Iunsvlvdnia and the Balkans proves more than words the forces and superi- ority of the central powers are un- shaken.
 England hoped to wear out the Ger man forces by the present offensive ou the Somme. but this can now be considered a failure. It is the aggres- sor who will be worn out more than the defender The sanguinary figures pub hshed recently by the London Daily Mall speak language that ought to be grave and impressive for Great Britain. Besides. these figures do not contain all the extraordinarily heavy losses suffered during the last three weeks by the British and French in a most terrific battle on the Somme. The wearing out of the regiments is q source Uf serious care, not only for France, which is bled to death all ready but also for England, which untl now, has boasted of it's mex haustihle resources. The Times raises the warning voice.
 How little the entente has sue ceeded in eNhausting the morale and material forces of Germany by 'unin- terrupted systematic pressure and how little German confidence in vic tory has been shaken, was proved also ty the splendid result of the last war loan. These 10,500. .OO0. 900 marks tell The whole world that Germany is fully decided and will carry out the war to cd victorious end"
