Germany Tries to Sweeten
Its Bitter Military Pill

IF he did not do this it would be an
open admission of the failure OF his OF
tensive. We await the enemy there IN
a much more favorable position and
with strengthened troops. improved rear
communications and a shortened HANK
which make the enemy's fianking move

tack again probably will be beaten OF.
The enemy's losses in frontal attacks
will still be greater, while ours Will re-
main normal.
'It does not matter whether we carry
on the struggle extensively or defensive

shortening Of the Marine front extends
over such a narrow strip and the with
drawal relates to such small part OF
it that, 1t represents a purely tactical
movement for the purpose Of creating
favorable fighting conditions It has
only local significance
.'The strategical positions as a whole
are not in the least affected. 1t has
hitherto developed as the German COM
mand intended and is being developed
further also according to plans.
"Our command retains complAte free
dom of operations. and by shortening its
front it avoided allowing Itself to be
pinned down under locally unfavorable

What seems the most valuable strategic
result to the allies of the German re-
treat is the restoration to allied use of
the great is-Chateau-T Thierry Cha

which will be an important factor In

Turks Have Been Embittered
by Belief Germany Favored
BuIgars in SpoiIs Dispute

while the State Department has re-
ceived nothing confirmatory of the
rumor that Turkey has severed rela-
tfons with her Teutonic ally. the gov
ernment would not be surprised If a
rupture were to occur, as there Is
thought to exist a well founded basis
for the report of a break between
Turkey and Germany.
Government officials here have
known fc. some time that Turkey re-
sents the domineering attitude Of
Germany toward her allies. 1t Is un-
derstood that Turkey considers Ger
many to have failed to live up to an
to Turkey, and feels that all through
the war Germany has not played fair.
Therefore, officials express no sur
prise at the reports Of a break be-
tween the two nations - r
Quarreled Over Caucasus.
The attitude ON the part of Tur-
key, reported in the dispatch from
Amsterdam, may account in part Tor
the report received through Copen-
hagen that Turkey and Germany had
severed relations. Early this month
IL was reported in Washington that
Germany was becoming alarmed over
the aggressive territorial tendencies
of her allies, especially Turkey.
ported that Germany had ordered Tur-
key to stop her advance in the east
ern Caucasus. Almost simultaneously
announcement came from Berlin that
German troops had been landed at
Poti. on the Black sea coast, and an
