AMSTERDAM Aug. lin the August
,,s,,. Of the Prtlssian Jdhrbuecher, Prof
Delbrueck utters another OF his periodi-
,al gentle complaints that the German
people are being sadly misinformed on
intrinsic truth about Americas partici-
nation In the war. He goes so far as to
.ay that the German people are being
led by the nose. and willingly So" by a
large section OF the press which is con-
tinually hammering on the fallacies that
America entered the war to save her in
yestments, or to arm against Japan. or
ynerely because blood Is Il ECKER than
water"
Pro, Delbruecl argues that America
and Germany are virtually agreed on
one OF the most important issues IN this
war, namely. the freedom of the seas, as
shown by Imperial Chancellor Hertling's
acceptance on February 25 of President
wilson's -four principles" enunciated
on February IL.
Blames German Policy.
-why, then" he asks, do we not have
p.ace negotiations?'' He supplies the
answer by saying Because the others do
not want peace True, but why don't
they? America Is far on the road toward
an agreement on principle with us. and
England realizes that. even IL the for
tunes Of war turn in her favor, the pre-
dominant sea power for which she Is
fghting is dwindling away"
He suggests. somewhat timidity Are
the others alone to blame or Is not our
own policy somewf at at fault for the
fact that we cannot get together to talk
about peace"
An editorial in the Dusseldorf Mach
richten says that nobody looking into
thu future can see an end to the war.
"For though II is true that the end
might come quickly" 1t adds. cit could
only be an end of terror. as in Russia"
Iortcderfs of Berlin says that events
OF recent days az last have shattered tho
illusion. created by inspired optimism,
that Germany Is invincible. 1t says
The German people at last realize the
colossal gravity of the situation. Let US
have courage to admit that as long as
tie war is not ended il Is not won and
can be lost"
Sees No Ray OF Hope.
The principal north German organ of
the majority Socialists. the BuerDer
Zernn0 of Bremen. says:
Black and dark is the hour. The
sacrifices made by the people are i'm
measurable and those OF the fifth year Of
the war will be gigantic. but no refresh
ing breath OF freedom and civic equality
blows through the oppressive night Of
our discomfort"
The German hope Of ending the war
by military decision before the ar
rival of the Americans was blasted by
the recent allied offensive. the Socialist
newspaper Arbetter Zeitun0 of Vienna
points out In concluding a recent article
on the military situarca.
"All the explanations and comments
cannot alter the patent fact that in this
double offensive the gain Of ground. and
consequently the only visible sign OF
success. is on the allied side" the news
paper says.
While It Is admitted that this victory
does not yet possess any decisive char
acter there Is one result which cannot
be called in questionable strong moral
effect produced by the three German Of
fensives against Amiens and Paris has
been completely destroyed. The Allies
to-day have chief whose name inspires
confidence and whose ability is in no way
inferior to that of Ludendorff or Won
Hindenburg Furthermore. the only
hope of the Germans to end the war In
nc
suit OF this last French OFFENSIVE.
New Offensive Predicted.
