The German military critics occa-

dicating not only an unwi1lingness to
take the official bulletins and the dis
patches of the war correspondents at their
face value, but also that the number of
doubling Thomases is large.
A few weeks ago. as is evident from
articles by Capt. Saizmann in the Vos-

iously replying to a flood of critical let
ters, there was displayed an inability to
see great victory in Won Hindenburg' S
