secret order signed 'Ludendorif," lays
stress on the necessity Of eeonomiring

elements essential to the future conduct

The captured document was issued
late in June since which time have the
German forces been materially whitfield
down by the allied armies. but il the

tainly is not among the troops that have
been fighting at the Somme and the

the war cannot be won by a stubborn
defense, but only by further success
sion of vigorous attacks These at
tacks, however. cannot lead TO victory
unless we adhere to and improve on
the methods OF warfare adopted in the
