Germany Now asees' u.

. Germany is beginning to change tao
ties in respect to the strength Of the
Americans in France. Hitherto deny
ing and ridiculing all claims to the
transport Of largo force over seas.
it is now admitted by the government
at Berlin, through obviously official an
nouncsments to the press, that secre-
tsry Bakers figures regarding the size
Of our force in the war zone are about
correct. These announcements are
identieally worded, leaving no doubt
Of the source. Ono or two Of the pa
pers add that they wsre not actually
concealing the strength Of the Ameri-
cans, saying that their former figures
were based on the situation prior to
Nay and that the really big shipments
Of men began since then. But they
have begun. that is the point. And
they have been continued, the subma-
rines notwithstanding, and no apollo
gies will account for the fact that dur

spired by the German high command,
strove to prove that the American

Hindenburg's Admission.

Field Marshal Hindenburg is quoted
by the Tages Zeitung Of Berlin as say
ing recently to the Sd Regiment Of
Guards:
@Iet us look into the future. Our
position Is favorable, aithough-and we
may frankly admit tive lately have
happened to have been set back. But
this is a fortune Of war with which
we must reckon"
This admission sof q setback Is
doubtless q bit Of diplomacy on Hin
denburg's part. He is stating what
presumably the entire German army
knows and his acknowledgment Of it
is far more tactful than any attempt
to conceal it. And naturally he would
call the German military position fa-
vorable. He could not be expected to
60 further than he did in expressing
a reverse.
But is the German position fsvora-
blea Territorially the German army
stands in slightly better position
than it did before the offensive Of
March q. But the mere territorial
situation does not govern. Much has
happened since the March drive be-
gan. More than a million American
troops have been placed in France
since then, for one thing, and Of. these
at least half have been made ready
for front line work. The allied COM
mand has been unified. The German
armies have suffered tremendous cas-
ualties, possibly as high as million
men, of whom at least . third have
been put absolutely out Of action by
capture; or death. German man power
has been greatly weakened and Ger
man morale has been seriously shaken.
If, with the German lines being
steadily pressed back, with the allies
taking prisoners daily by the thou
sand-100,000 it is stated have been
taken since July 1S-with the Ameri-
can forces augmenting weekly by ono
or more divisions, with the submarine
warfare effectuaaly discounted by the
allied navies and by a rapidly increas-
ing shipbuilding program, with the
food problem Of the allied peoples
solved through American cooperation
and anti-submarine measures-if with
all these clements in force Field Mar
shall Hindenburg honestly believes that
the German position is favorable he is
indeed the prince Of optimists.

Navy moving about in home or for

war require. The problem as to the
cantonments is. of course, less din.
cult than that as to either the trenches
or the sea service.
Difficult as they may prove, how
ever, these problems should be taken
in hand. At any rate they should be
discussed by state authorities as we'll
as by the military authorities. If only
in part, they should be solved to the
end of keeping the figures Of the elec-
torate as high as possible. We want
competent men in charge behind as
well as on the firing lines, and want
them selected by as large percentage
of qualified selectors as can possibly
