 As result of this interview, Lon don is asking: What is Von Hin denburg's gamer"
 Briefly, it is to win a victory this year, or something he can make his people believe is victory If he can cripple Great Britain economi- cally fand reduce her to the point where she is not as well prepared as Germany to enter the great commer- cial competition after hostilities. then Hindenburg has won a victory
 When, in the twentieth round pugilist falls and is counted out, and the other tumbles over exhausted as the referee awards him the decision, the latter is hailed as the victor. Germany is willing to accept that kind of verdict relying on her in dustrial and commercial recupera. tive powers.
 Part of Offensive
 Germany's submarine campaign is as much of an offensive as the one hurled against the Russians in 1915, or against Verdun in 1916 If Ger many wins on the sea, she wins the war, provided her own supplies hold out. Her submarine campaign is in fititely more vital and powerful than anything she has done on land
 Upon America the Allies depend largely not only for food but for mu- nitions and material. while Germany are able to cut off America, Ger many will come close to winning. That is as sure as fate and putting it mildly

tian Science Monitor says: "Corn
bread has gone out OF use in the
United States, in the last quarter of
