Criticizes Lack of Courage in
German Leaders,

Al the beginning Of the war. the
untounded prestige Of the British fleet
robbed the men then at the head IL
German affairs Of courage to allow our
fleet to strike for victory al a moment
when 1t had the best chance Of Sue
cess.
Thus England won a psychological
naval victory at the beginning Of the
war without firing a shot.
The sea fight off the coast of Jlt-
land, (battle OF the Skagerrak), might
have changed the face OF the worlds
history II 1t could have been fought
TO a finish. 1t was interrupted by
nightfall.
The bitterest fate which befell the
German neet and me was the fact that
was not permitted TO sail with the
fleet to take part in that battle.
The, battle Of the skagerTak was
the climax Of our belated efforts to
compete with England on the sea. our
endeavors were always concentrated in
developing the army, and the eyes OF
the German masses were for the first
time opened to the necessity for the
construction OF a fleet after the Jane
son. raid took place,
The telegram from the Boer presi-
dent, Kruger, following this raid, and
asking for German support, fell like
Il bolt from the blue. These estab-
llshed relations between the South Az
rican republics and Germany, revealed
by this telegram, resulted In q great
outburst Of hate, envy and rage against
Germany In England.
The German public opinion at this
time %applauded the Kruger telegram.
In the years following. this telegram
was a nucleus for repeated wordy wars
against England. / consider that this
telegram as well as all subsequent pro
vocatlons OF England were regrettable
part Of the German public betrayed
q complete lack Of comprehension OF
England, Of her power, and OF her
weaknesses. This still more lmperiled
our attempt to create an adequate
navy, In itself difficult because de
layed. However, this was an oppor-
tune time to use our best efforts to
/ develop sea power and build an AIDE.
quate navy since England, because OF
her isolated position and her own diff
ficulties with the Beers, then was 90

to observe our endeavors.
These Developments were all reflect

months OF the world war.
As In previous years my advice as tc
the conduct of the war was consistent
ly rejected. From the first | made every
effort to convince Bethmann Hollwes
that England was our principal enemy
and that land victories for Germany
were futile. unless England should bt

Advocated Concentration
Against England,

| agree with Treitske, In any war
there must be a definite paramount Pc
litical aim on the attainment Of which
all political and military aims must be
concentrated. The principal opponent
is the deciding factor In determining
this paramount aim, Partial victories
over secondary opponents are. at best,
only a ean to an end but are never
decisive In the ultimate result, Eyerv-
thing should have been concentrated
against England, She was our princi-
pal opponent and all our aims and
plans from the first should have been
directed against her.
Our leaders could not see that no
dividing up OF the cars empire for
which our German diplomacy and Ger
man democrats we're striving, could as

To this the chancellor replied:

ever our armies attain, and hold those
positions and then turn our forces to

In both 1911 and 1919 | recommended

German military leaders against under.

break OF the war | again took pains to
warn the chief of the general staff
against thinking too lightly OF these
British troops which army, so TO speak,
consisted entirely Of sergeants. He an
swered:
I'VE will arrest them"
| further insisted to Won Moltke in
1914 on the importance Of getting to
| Calais and severing British communica.
Of staff, thought otherwise, although
Won der Goltz Endorsed my opinion and
backed me up
This, in my opinion, could only have
been achieved by bringing out the high
seas fleet and not by a sweeping move
ment with light forces alone.
Following the stand made by our
enemies which defeated our thanking
movement and halted our operations,
Won Moltke was a doomed man, and
the reins of the German army were
trailing on the ground, This reverse

since our carefully laid plan for the
sudden invasion OF France was defeated.
Won Moltke's successor did not give the
impression Of being master OF the task
before him which, after the stand made
by the French in the first battle of the
Marne grew limitless, The operations
had nov developed into a war Of ex-
haustion. Up TO this time but ono thought
had dominated our army--that II could
not be stopped, The arrestinR OF ouf
forward movement at the Marine was
a terrible blow to the army leaders and
left them stunned and baffled as to the
future.
In a war Of exhaustion. thanks to the
naval supremacy OF Gun enemies, Their
superior numbers must become more an
more effective. In spite OF all our earl
victories on land, unparalleled for theil
completeness, the German army nov
found itself Ia a generally disadvantage
