Every one who is a member OF the

one reason why Russia's influence in

for the enthusiasm Of the Russian peo-

Let us examine what the nature Of
this Polish State betw zen Russia and
Germany would be. In the first place
1t is perfectly clear that any State linz

its independence by its own unaidcd

The first gauge of the success at
Nerdun is the morale and the mas
terry of the high command. The physi-

at large. His rise has been SO rapid
that one judges him badly. You see
him suddenly in the full Hight as gem

the cannon still Numbered not far
away and we could even hear the
whistling of the shells the history OF
to-day seemed to repeat that OF yes
terday. an attack of unhcard of vio-
lcnce and an obstinate resistance
which we know will lot waver.
For this IL the deepest meaning OF
this double offensive. The enemy con
sidets Nerdun as the centre Of our
resistance. Nerdun for him is the
pivot of our force in the east, the
fortress whose fall would decide the
future of France. A geographical
truth perhaps. hut a colossal error In
the matter Of psychology.

My psychological impressions of

me, can apply to the whole war. This
formidable struggle is that of German
pride, swollen by ffty years of sue

never too much. The Germans are
