Bolsheviki have killed any lingering

of Won Hindenburg's ability to conduct IA

the British and French lines along the

The immediate concern Of the German
General Staff has turned from the west
10 the east. This Il not because Won
IIindenburg fears q Russian offensive.
but because the Bolsheviki defeated at
Brcst-I.itovsk the Won 1Iindenburg peace

militaristic clidue that surrounds him
are now on the defensive before the
German people, as far as concerns the
Russian situation.
The spirit Gf nilitarism cannot thrive
on such a defensive. To he outman-

that Won IIindenburg is confused by de-

that he do something.
Dr.
persistcnt reports of high conferences

Of tentative decisions to resume a Ger

purposes of peace negotiations, Russia
cannot be beaten more completely than
she is now. The advance of the German

and the capture Of Petrograd might be
a positive disadvantage because OF the
additional German troops that would be
required later for holding the new line
The German people. too. would probably
