nervous anxiety bordering on demon
alization. More editorial space is be-
ing given here recently to future
events than the retreat of the Ger
man army. The belief that something
like a panic has seized the German
populace is not based on stories from
neutral sources, which have raised
false hopes in the past, but on the
utterances of the leaders in the Ger
man nation and the appeals Of Ger
man newspapers to the public to
keep its head, while they themselves
admit the seriousness of the military
situation. :.
The emperor's bold vein Of assur
ance, Chancellor Won HertlinE's fran.
