London. July 3i.--In spite of the
vigorous attempts made by the Ger
man press and propaganda agencies
to conceal the defeat on the Marine,
the significance of the recent military
operations is not overlooked by ncu-
trails
In Norway. for example, the mill
tary correspondent of the Morgen-
bladt, who has hitherto always dis
played a profound respect for Ger
man military might, says:
Though the retreat brings the
Germans certain advantages, it is
evident that they only do il because
Of necessity. Their offensive of July
Ia planned on n great scale, has end
ed in signal defeat and the allies can
register their first real victory this
year Especially significant is the
small degree ascrihed to the Ameri-
cans"
The Shipping Gazette points out
For the Germans and for the rep
utation OF their armies the retreat is
serious shock, especially when the
fact is borne in mind that this was
the greatest offensive y t planned on
the western 'front.'
The Social Demokraten says:
1t is evident that disappointment
in Germany is exceedingly great
