contemplating such a move are too
good to be true. Should increasing
unrest among the Germans at home,
or an insane hope that the Anglo
French lines are capable of being
shattered, drive the Germans into a
western offensive. the war will be
brought much nearer to the allies
winning point. If one fact has been
demonstrated conclusively since the
battle of the Marne. it Is that the An
glo-French battle front is impreg
nable to Teutonic assaults.
vERDUN NOT FoRGoTToN.
During the battles In Flanders and
at Verdun the Germans tested the al
lies western line with large super
iority in men and guns. They could
not pass. The German troops on
those occasions were superior in Wig
or and training to the present Teu-
tonic armies. They were the very
flower of the kaiser's empire. The en-
tire logic of the operations in Fland-
ers and at Verdun is against a sup
position that the Germans can now
break the western line to any i'm
portant extent. Inn Won Hindenburg
