FROM THE GERMAN POINT OF VIEW.

FROM THE GERMAN POINT OF VIEW.
toRaAN1zAT1oN-Germany is the most
thoroughly organized country in the
world. Backed by an autocratic govern
ment every man, woman and child in
Germany has been given place and
taught or forced to fill it. This organi-
zation has extended to social, business
and military circles. All this organiza-
tion centers in the will-power of one
man. AS war machine the oreaniza-
tion is we'll nigh perfection.
PREPARAT1oN-For forty years through
the above indicated organization Ger
many has been preparing for this war.
Its people have been educated to believe
that Germany is superior to the rest OF
the world and It's destiny is only ques-
tion of the Survival of the fittest.
Such public sentiment ls in itself a
most potent preparation for war. In
later years Germany has been purposely
accumulating vast stores of food and
munitions, enlarging it's army and navy
to its greatest extent. providing manu.
facturies, and in every possible manner
preparing for the conquest of the world.
ARMY-As soldiers, both rank and Tile,
the Germans have proven the supsriors
OF all the eastern nations and at least
the equal of the British and French. A
long military experience and education
evolved commanders whose genius is
now acknowledged by the whole world.
In mere brute courage the German
soldier has proven himself the equal if
not the superior of the fighting men in
all history. While his allies, the Austrl-
ans, Turks and Bulgarians have not
measured up to the German standard,
yet with the help of German command
ing officers, and fighting alongside of
Germans, they have made helpful allies
and have had more or less success.
PEoPLE-In all national combats,,
there are two armies, one of fighting
men and the other Of the people at home
who must support the army in the field.
In this home army, Germany through
previous education, through it's wonder
full organization, has the full support Of
its own people. Practically every man,
woman and child IN Germany is doing
all possible to help win the war: The
young and old, without distinction of
sex, work in factory and field for
Germany.
sUccEss-So far after four years Of
war Germany can point to large material
successes. Its armies and allies have
overrun large territory in central Europe
and through the Generalization Of Rus.
sla, and have thus laid the foundation
for the construction of an empire far
greater than that of, any government
since the fall of Rome. Meantime on
the western front they have kept the
British and French fully occuplad in de-
Tending northern France. During the
last month they have overwhelmed the
British and French with superior forces
and put both the French and British
forces in critical condition.
REsERvEs-France and Britain cannot
increase their man power. The best
that they can do is to keep up the drain
from casualties Of war. It will be months
before America can send troops enough
to make material reinforcement. Mean.
time the Germans present assault will
overrun all Of western France, take the
seaports, provide new U-boat bases, and
thus prevent the landing of the Yankees.
u-BoATs Ts-Wlth increased nearby bases
the U-boats which already exact fear
ful toll on entente shipping, will bein-
creased until the food supply, which is
already short and precar!ous in France
Italy and Britain will be cut SO that
these countries will be starved out.
THE FINAL oBJEcT1oN- To reduce
Britain, Italy and France to subordinate
nations, to exploit Russian and Balkan
states as yassals and finally to conquer
America and from that rich country
recoup Germany by cash contribution
for expenses Of the war.
