GERMANS EXPECT A
VICTORY IN 1926
Evidence Gathered From Captured
Boches show This Was General
i
Agreement Beforehand.

Washington, May 15.--German SOL
diers do not expect to win the war be-
fore 1926. according to evidence laid
before the war department today by
prominent American army officer who
returned from France recently.
AN evidence which We have gath
cred from prisoners and from records
taken in raids shows that the Germans
believe the war will not end until
1925 said the officer. ITO my mind
the most striking evidence of the opin-
ION generally held by the private sol
der In the German ranks is an or
nate placard which our men captur-
ed in a raid on German trench. This
trench had been recently repaired and,
perfected by the Germans. The work
was skilifully and thoroughly carried
ont and apparently when the task was
finished. one of the soldiers decided
to put in a little extra time and CON
sfruct a monument or cornerstone.
This was crude In Its way, but the
most prominent feature was placard
which bore the inscription. For ser
vice t914-la25'
Prisoners agree that their fellows
arc generally agreed that Europe can
not he won for Germany before 1925.
They apparently are not being led for
ward TO death with the false hope
that this year will see the end Of the
war. They are being prepared for
long struggle
As one German officer said. grant
ing that our losses are 500 900 men
year. We are bringing 500. 600 new
men into our army every year. We
are sustaining net ioss of 900 600
men a year. but that loss Is more than
offset by the increased efficiency OF our
lighting forces. We never were strong
er than We are today
The Americans are well into the
thick of the fghting and I believe
they will he heard from when the
Germans renew their drive. This ma.
ton must prepare for a long struggle
and must neglect no step to strength .
