German leadership, General Ard

to direct the campaign into new
courses when stagnatlon threatened.
and he adds that the Germans are en-
tilted TO believe methods will be found
to force mighty England through bat
ties on land to seek peace. The mill

done by an attempt TO overwhelm the
French army, which. he assumes. Is
weakened and discouraged. before the
