WHAT FRANZ SIGEL SAYS.
If German Wedge Splits British Line
There Is America to Deal With.

Germany will win if she can reach
the channel ports So wrote the emil
nent military critic of the New York
Times in that paper last Saturday.
And. now comes Franz Sigel-name
honored in American memories as that
of the famous German-American gen.
eral in the war of the rebeilion-with
a letter to the Times that was prompt
ed by the sentence quoted. He is son
OF General Sigcl. lives in New York,
and is now president of the Friends Of
German Democracy. This IS what he
writes:
Il wonder whether the writer intend
ed to make so sweeping statement or
whether he omitted to state q, reserva-
ton made mentally that they would
win the campaign Germany's object
in the present campaign is obvious;
but | do not believe that she will win
ultimately, even if she does now sue
coed in separating the French and the
British.
up to a certain point there Is a
parallel between the present effort OF
Germany to capture the valley OF the
Somme to the coast-which she might
do if she succeeded in driving the
allies back of AbbeVille. twenty miles
west of Amiens-and the successful
campaigns OF Grant and Farragut for
the Mississippi valley in the war of the
rebellion. The latter divided the con-
federacy so that the forces west OF
the river could no longer combine with
those east Of it. so German Success
in the present campaign would sepa-
rate the French from the British.
But there is this great difference
froe, this point on: The confederacy
had no America and IT'S unlimited re-
sources TO come to its assistance, nor
did the confederacy by her navy con-
troll the sea. She needed help. but
