GERMANY DEFEAT.

In the following article clipped from the Memphis Commercial Ap- peal on mistakes of the last Worlds war; every one knew for over four long bloody years except the Germans that they were making the Worlds Greatest Bonehead' and now they know it.
 The great victory in this war is the result of not making mistakes and the making of mistakes.
 Germany is defeated today through her mistakes. The first mis- stake was made in 1914, when the Ger man people thought that, in intellect. in material efficiency, in courage and the will to win. they were superior to all other people.
 "Their first colossal error, then, was in starting out to dominate the world. The first minor error was the invasion of Belgium, but along with that was a colossal error when they announced they had no regard for their written word or for their spoken word.
 ~The German prime minister damned the German people forever when he announced that a treaty was a mere scrap of paper.
 "Then Germany blundered in think ing that England was so lazy in its prosperity that it would not fight. Then Germany blundered when it be- gan to violate the rules of war and introduced gas.
 Germany blundered in it's estima- ton of the American people, A mis- take was in thinking that the United States would stand for the submarine outrages. Germany made a colossal mistake when it felt that the people of the United States would not fight for principle of honor or to main tain their self respect.
 Booming down to this year, the Germans blundered frightfully when, after failing to capture Amiens. and beat the British and reach the chan mel, they did not retreat to their border. The Germans made one more lunge at Paris and then when they desired to retreat they found out that they could not shake themselves loose from the allies.
 The allies made a few blunders themselves. They blundered for two or three years in not having a unity of command. They blundered last year in temporarily forgetting Italy. But for all these things they compensated themselves in their coordination and singleness of purpose under a single command during the last four months ID this hour of victory the allies will not be likely to blunder if England Franca, the United States and Italy hold firmly together and permit their
