 Germany Lost ut First Marnc.
 Asked what. in his op:n.on, was the turning point of the war, he said: T was convinced early in October, 1914, that we had lost the war. i considersd our position hopeless after tile battle of the Marne, which we should not have lost if the chiefs oi our General Staff had not suffered 6 case of nerves.
 T tried to persuade the Genera; Staff to seek peace then, even as. c great sacrifice, going SO far as to give up Alsace-Lorraine. But was told to mind my own business, ana confine my activities to commanding my armies. I have proof or thls.
 What finally brought about the downfall of the German military pow CT, he declared, was revolution in- duced by four years of hunger among the civilians and the troops in the rear, together with the overwhelming superiority in numbers attaaned by the entente powers since America s entry into the war, which had un- dermined the confidence of :ne Ger man fighting forces.
 My soldiers, whom loved ana with whom I lived continuously, ana who, if I may sey so. loved me, fought with the utmost courage to the end, even when the odds were 1mpos- sible to withstand. They had no rest and sometimes an entire division num- bered only 600 rifles. These were op- posed by fresh allied troops. among whom were American divisions con- taing 27,OOO men apiece"
