This is the conclusion drawn here

DISASTROUS DEFEAT COMING
FOR HOUSE OF 1OHENZOLLERN

ton Of trying to break through the
southern part of the British front
The combat across the Somme river
involves the most serious copse-
quences for the house of Hohenzol-
lern. 1t is this southern part of the
present battle front that has been
put under the nominal control of the
German crown prince. The loss of
prestige that the Hohenzollern heir
suffered at Verdun evidently must be
recovered now or not at all. The
crown prince Of a fighting house like
the Hohenzollerns might be fatally
handicapped as q ruler if a major
check at the Somme were to follow
his defeat at Verdon. All the more
