Germans Lose
Confidence in
War Leaders
Foch's Success Is Shaking
Nerves Of People in
Enemy's Country
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Cable to The Tribune }


Copyright. 1918. by 1hs Tribune Association)
LONDON, Aug. 14.-The stolid Ger
man, with his strong faith, his good
Kaiser and his fighting superiorities,
is in a quarrelsome mood. He is
shaken, he is worried, he is inclined
to quarrel with his neighbor, his mill
tary leaders and his war lord. Ger
many's idols are coming down to the
level Of the populace. Germany has
a bad case of the nerves and is de-
cidedly ratified. Germany's iron men
her sword-swinging, deep-voiced mill
tarists-are showing emotion.
The German people are students of
militarism. They know how to inter
pret communicates, and for four years
they have read the General Statf's re-
ports with the faith of Bible students.
The Germans can withstand reverses
and appointments, but since July
18 Ludendortf's published communicates
have shaken his countrymen more than
anything they have read since war
began.
These communicates tried to camou-
fage the serious reverses and were
successful only in causing a state Of
confusion and disorder in the highest
circles Of the military leaders. The
reverse but they can't excuse nerves
in their leaders. Hindenburg has long
since faded in the background, as have
Generals French, Joffre and Cadorna
and most others. Ludendorf has been
great military genius and now he
is rapidly losing prestige and power.
The German hopes of reaching Paris
and the Channel ports, which were sys-
tematically encouraged by their mill
tary leaders, vanished less than a
month ago. German expectations Of
finishing off Britain and France before
America arrived have not been realized.
German faith in the superiority of their
generalship has been rudely shaken.
German confidence of their ability to
obtain a military decision has gone.
kuehlmann, not Ludendorff, was vim
dicated last month. That is only one
phase Of the situation in Germany.
There arc no signs of a revolution
in Germany and none should be ex-
pected until the situation becomes
much worse and the German masses
are convinced that they are not jump
ing out Of the frying pan into the fire.
The situation will grow worse as Amer
lean power increases--German masses
will lose their faith in militarism as
Allied blows and Allied moderation in
crease. The German people, I think,
consider themselves able to sustain a
long defensive war. But / think thew
would like to make peace this fall. and
think the German leaders will offer
greatly modified terms before Christ
mas.
1t is natural to expect Foch to strike
other blows because now he has the
initiative, and probably Germany will
parry them with more or less success.
The Allies have not yet the numerical
superiority to win great decision
against the great German defensive
power To-day Germany is feeling de-
cidedly disappointed, but it would be
folly to read anything more than that
in accounts of her internal situation
