Washington. on.-Knowledge in posses.
sion Of officials here of conditions in
Germany during the war was so ac'
curate that the American General
Staff had computed, many weeks in
advance, almost the exact date on
which the breaking point would be
reached, A chart, which was hung in
Secretary Bakers office, shows the
fluctuations In the morale Of the
German nation" from August, 1914,
to the present month,
Assuming the German government
to have had 100 per cent support
from the people at the beginning of
the war, the chart shows how German
morale fell and rose under the in1u'
ence Of various factors.
The chart indicates that practical.
ly every major operation Of the Ger
man military forces was influenced by
the state Of public mind at home.
Thus, General Mackenzen's attack In
the Balkans, the declaration OF un'
limited submarine warfare, the second
Italian offensive and the advance on
the western front, which was met and
stopped by American 'm0rlnos at
Chateau Thiorry, all were ln0ugurNted
when the morale line showed danger
ous slumps, In each case, first sue

people, as portrayed by the dotted
