The German Explanation.
(From ths New York Timely

OF course, in retiring, the Germans
are disarranging the original British
plans to attack them in the positions
which they are evacuating. But to
seek, as the Germans are seeking, to
give the impression that that is the
object Of the retirement, that they
are accomplishing a great military
feat by doing it, is simply forlorn
whistling in graveyard. The Brit
ish plan was to capture, by costly
fighting, the very area which the Ger
mans are now evacuating. When the
Germans give it up without a fight,
of course they disarrange that plan;
they disarrange it by giving the
British what the British had planned
to fight for. Naturally, the British
will now have to plan for a new fight,
and, if it is such a great military
feat to disarrange your enemy's plans,
the Germans can disarrange these
new plans by retiring again when
they are made, and so on. According
to this theory, the Germans can dis
comft the British greatly by retiring
to Berlin. If this were not soberly
put forward by high German mil
itary authority" no one would think
of arguing about it without a smile.
Such a theory has never been put
forward with such solemnity since
John Phoenix related how he over
came his enemy by throwing himself
down on his back and pulling the
enemy down on top of him.
1--WE are now getting the enemy out
of their trenches" continues this
high German military authority"
The enemy have to get out of their
trenches if they are going to pursue
the Germans. Optimism can go no
further, it seems; but in the next
paragraph it is surpassed by this
sentence: Meanwhile the enemy is
left at the mercy of our plans"
This high authority goes on to
hearten the folks at home by explain
ing these plans, at the mercy of
which the helpless allies lie. 1t Is to
be the plan on which Hindenburg
operated in 1914 against Russia and
in 1916 against Rumania. at is the
only kind of strategy that can make
possible a decision on the western
front" This makes it certain that,
whatever else may happen, the Hin
denburg plan of 1914 and 1916 is not
going to be repeated. Generals do not
announce their plans to the enemy,
even when the enemy is "at their
mercy" Least of all does linden
burg announce his. He did not an
nounce them in 1914 or 1916, and if
his withdrawal today meant that he
intended to repeat that strategy he
would be the last man to say so.
In retiring, the Germans have, of
course, made the battlefield as diff
ficult as possible for the British, and
now they are trying to give the i'm
preston that that in itself is a great
feat one worth retiring for. But

simplihes Our Problem.
(chicago Heald)
American sympathy with the efforts to
establish constitutional government In
Russia Ii not at all diminished by the
conviction that the success Of the revolu-
tion will simplify one OF our problems.
With constitutional government based
on democratic principles. recognizing the
equality Of all citizens, there viii as
suredly be an end to the discrimination
against certain class of our own citi-
zens which has been the sole flaw in oui
wholly friendly relations for q number
Of years.
Negotiation Of q new treaty Of trade
and commerce and Of other treaties needed
to cement the friendly relations between
the two countries should follow as a mat
ter OF course. And a vast extension ot
American activities in this admittedly rich
and inviting field that offers special in
ducements to American business might
be confidently expected.
Thus democratic Russia should solve
problems for other nations as well as fol
herself-and all in the spirit that make.
| for peace and a lasting friendship among
the nations Of the earth.
