IN EAST MEANS A RELIEF TO THE GERMANS German Writer Describes Won Hindenburg as "Pic-
 ture of Greatness" SAVING OF GERMAN
 BLOOD SACRED DUTY Without Battle Won Peace is Not Obtainable, Says
 German Leader.

New York, April 2S-Peace for Germany, according to Gen. Luden- dorf, chief quartermaster general, rests on the fighting on the western front and without severe battles fought to a finish Germany cannot ob- tain peace. These statements were made during an interview with Ger man newspaper correspondents at great headquarters on March 12 and reported in German newspapers of that date which have been received here.
 Field Marshal von Hindenburg was interviewed at the same time and the two German leaders were apparently convinced that for Germany force was needed to bring about peace. The chief quartermaster general said con- cerning the fighting which has since taken place in northern France:
 The final fighting in the west, of course, cannot be compared with the fighting in Galicia or in Italy. The enemy has powerful reserve army at hand which he may move on his splendidly laid out railroad system as he sees fit,
 But however heavy the fighting may be, the battle must be fought out because, without it, peace is not attainabIe"
 Wilhelm Hegeler, correspondent of the Berliner Tageblatt, in reporting the interview described Von Hinden- burg as "a picture of quiescent great ness" while Ludendorff gave the im- pression of having strength of vol canlc heat, but curbed by will. The correspondent says that when the conversation turned to events in the east, FSeld Marshal von Hindenburg referred to charges that in conclud- ing peace i've acted like men of vio- lence," said it was necessary to ob- tain frontier safeguards
 AS we wanted peace, we had to bring it about by force,'' was the in- terJection of Gen. Ludendorff.
 Peace in the east meant a tremen- dous relief for the Germans on the west Ludendorf said, adding: Now we are about to gain the as- tendency numerically. Of course the transportation of troops from the east because of the bad condition of the railroads cannot be effected by to- MOTION. But at any rate our posi- ton already is such that. we do not have to ask, looking up anMously: Where will the enemy attack?' We ourselves are in position to assume the offensive wherever we desire" Referring to France, Gen. Luden- | dorff said:
 We may well say, without exag- geration, that France has dug her own grave. She is about to bleed herself to death. Undoubtedly the French are brave soldiers" Lieut.. Gen Won Ardone, the mf1i- tary critic, in the Tageblatt on March 20, the day before the begin ming of the offensive, in an analysis l of the interview with the military leaders, wrote:
 "The German army leaders look | forward with grace concern to the final fighting. The saving of Ger man blood they have at all times considered as a sacred duty But the German people and their allies will have to accept the necessity that the final battle must be fought out .''

NO MARTIAL LAW
omission strange?

 The necessity for martial arises where the civil power the territory being conquered is with its legitimate civil authority. There why martial law exist a country which has arranged great and raised great with less friction than was known before
