German Writer Says Mill
tary Situation Alone
Brought Defeat.

London. Eng. Feb. (via Mon
treal) any idea that the Germans
final collapse was due to revolution
or solely to blockade is secuted in
an article in the Frankfort Zeitung
by the military writer, MAI. Paulus.
Gen. Ludendorff was beaten" says
Paulus, when he commenced to re-
treat to the Antwerp-Metz line. for
this line could not have been held.
Neither flank was secure. In the
north, the Dutch frontier left no room
for retreat In the center, Verdun
provided an invitation TO the enemy
10 break through. The line from Die
den 10 Metz was already outftanked
when the St 1lihiel salient was lost
Paulus- therefore. maintains that
Ludendorff was right when he an
nounced It was impossible TO continue
the var any longer. This was not
due, says Paulus, TO anything that
had occurred in Germany, but be-
cause OF the military situation.
