Me German General Staff
Il Has Always Been Wrong

We on the Allied side have often
permitted ourselves to be hypnotized by
the magic Of the very name of the Ger
man Great and General Staff. We have
accepted it altogether too often at it's
own valuation. It's strength is impos-
ing; all that preparation could DO in the
way Of machinery, discipline, organiza-
ton has been done; has been done over
and over again. 1t was done for forty
years before the First Marine, and it was
done for many, many months before the
recent offensive Of this year Bat de-
spite its power for organization, for
preparation, for all the smaller things
that make the great and wellnigh per
fect machine, the German General Staff
has always been wrong in it's big deci-
slons, and its mistakes have lost the war
every time that it was within the grasp
OF It's armies to achieve victory.
The more one studies the Marnc the
more one sees that it epitomizes the
strength and exposes the weakness Of
the German military idea. In August
Germany took the world by surprise; as
consequence there was the lone list
OF opening victories, Morhange, Neuf
chateau, Charleroi; Napoleon never
opened q campaign better; but what a
pitlful result when the campaign was
over. 1t was the same at Verdun, the
same IN Picardy in March; the first rush
passed over Fort Douaumont in Febru-
airy, 1916; it reached the environs of
Amiens in March, 1918, just as it ap-
preached the forts of Paris in 1914. Bv
all the laws Of military science each Of
the three opening moves should have
won the campaign, but instead the Ger
man was driven from Paris 10 Scissors
IN 1914; Fort Douaumont was retalen
by the French in 1916; the Germans are
to-day retreating many miles east of
Annlens. Three great chances and three
dismal failures; this is the German rec
ord in the West, this is the outcome Of
three dues with the French military
genius.

Ne Marine Was the Key
Il to Victory

Even When the events upon the actual
battlefield are of such transcendent in
terest. it is therefore worth while now
on this anniversary to look backward
four years. If the Germans had pre-
vailed on this day, or the next, four years
ago, Paris I'rance-would have fallen.
We know now Russia would have gone
swiftly instead of slowly to ruin. Brit
ain within her islands would have been
safe from invasion, but the Continent
would have lain at the kaiser's feet and
all the grandlcse plans of Mitteleuropa
would have been worked out, while there
was left on the mainland Of Europe not

ened until too late. Britain would have

pre at Suez and on The Persian Gulf

RUSSIA stood fast the aid Britain brought
IN 1916 and 1917 would have been

New Frontiers Against an

France saved US at the Marine, hut
France herself remains in part in the
enemy's hands. The German still holds

in 1871. Without both France is incon.

to FLANDERS and to Champagne is no
stronger than her moral title to Alsace
and Lorraine. We are to erect new
frontiers against an old barbarisra, and
we must erect them in such fashion AZ

NE est Between
L. Two Civilizations

At the very bottom of things the First
Battle Of the Marnc was the test be-
tween two civilizations-be between the
civilization Of the savage heart and the
scientific brain and the civilization which
IS the common heritage of the Western
and democratic nations. The contrast
was as great the issue as unmistakable
at the Marine as at Marathon, the Ger
man idea as deadly to Western civiliza-
ton as was the Persian, the victory in
France and within the hearing Of Paris
as significant in human history as that
other triumph the news of which was
according to legend, brought to Athens
by messenger who could run the short
distance in a few hours.
And, By comparison with the Marine
all the other battles of this war have
been lesser events. Even the enic Of
Nerdun compares only in its human
qualities. The reason is simple: at no
time since the First Marine has there
been the same obvious menace of Sill
preme disaster following defeat. For
forty-four years the German planned
and prepared-the sum total of his

And to this very day the German ex-
PLANTATION Of the Marnc remains un-
made. Ior three years. indeed, the Ger
mans denied that there had been Bat
tie Of the Marine Their official state
ments went dumb in the very first days
of September, when the fight was be-
ginning. The battle itself, the Battle
for Paris was covered by the reports
OF Hlnden5urgs triumph at Tannenberg.
Only after the retreat to the Aisne was
over did the official utterances begin
again to take up the fortunes of the
army which had reached the very en-
virons of Paris And this return to the
western campaign for brief hour was
only because for that space of time
the Germans were convinced, the Cen
eral Staff was convinced, that they had
repaired their mistakes and were now
about to resume their offensive. which
had been interrupted at the Marine.
But it was too late. Joffre had al
ready begun that turning movement on
fields which in recent days have seen an
other mighty struggle and new victory

devotion. The race to the sea" had be-

such that it is beyond question that
France would have been incapable of
that mighty reorganization which made
1T possible for the French army to con-
tlnue it's resistance over four more
years
The proof of this is on the map; had
the Germans never been able to advance
beyond the Marine they would still have
necessarily taken the eastern fortresses,
already almost .enveoped; they would
have taken the last Of French iron fields
IN Lorraine. Nancy and its surrounding
Industrial regions would have passed
like the coal regions of the north to
German hands. Seated at the edge Of
the Channel, too, the Germans would
nave been able, without the loss Of
man, to do those things for the chance
to do which they sacrificed masses Of
men a few weeks later in the final act of
the Marine campaign, which was the
Battle of Ypres. Never was there q bet
