BY J. w. T. Mason
United Press War Expert.

The German government
has confessed in the reichstag
that Won Hindenburg cannot
win the war for the central
empire.
This is by Ear the most signifi-
cant declaration of Foreign Min
lister Won Kuehlmann's speech.
His statement that peace can
not be gained on the battlefield,
but must come by negotiation, Is
destined to have Ear reaching con-
sequences upon German morale.
The German people were led to
believe that the frightful slaugh-
ter of German man power during
the four western offensives this
spring would end the war with a
Teutonic victory. Now that Won
Kuehlmann has made the naive
admission that peace cannot be
gained by such means, there must
be a profound deaction.
Without naL,ihg the United
States, Won Kuehlmann pointedly
indicates that American troops are
the obstacle to Germans battle
field success.
This he does BY attributing the
impossibility of military decis-
ion to the number of powers en-
gagged, including the one from
overseas"
Germany is not yet beaten; but
the German government has gone
further than ever before in ad-
hitting that the German army
cannot win.
