On August q. 1916. Rumania declared
war on Austria Hungary. The dual mon
archy thereby reaped he reward of Hun
sary's selfish policy and we the fruit or
our passive acquiescerce.
On the 18th, at o'clock in the forenoon.
The chief of the military cabinet. General
Won Lyncker, telephoned General Won
IIindenburg and myself that his majesty,
the Kaiser. comman led our presence in
Pless (the Kaiser's nea dquarters) al once.
That same day, at p. m, we left
Brest, never again 20 return 20 the east

General Won Lync;ser received us on
our arrival in PIess. about 10 O'clock in

me that Field Marsh4l Won Hindenblrs
had been appointed chief of the general
staff of the field army and that ] was
TO be second chief The title First Quar-
.termaster- General" seemed to me more
appropriate. In my opinion there could
only be one chief Of the general stan,
but in any case, / hal been expressly as
sured that | should have joint responss-
bility in all decisions and measures that
might be taken
When his majesty eeeived US. he ex-
pressed ne nope tha' the crisis at ne
lront would be overcome. and the inn
gerial chancellor, VINO was present u
Pless at the time, spoke TO the same eli
feet. The subject CT peace was not
touched on by him. The gravity OF she
situation must have often brought it T.
mind. The enemy's intentions prevented
any steps being taken.
My position was a thankless one, as
| fully realized. / entered on my duties
with a sacred desire to do and think OF
nothing that did not contribute to blinS
the war to a victorious end. For this
purpose alone had the field marshal an"

fectly enormous. The awful feeling OF
responsibility did not leave me for sin

many respects entirely ana uncom-

work involved was quite unprecedented.
Never has fate before suddenly placed
so heavy a burden on human shoulders.
With bowed head ! prayed God the ALI
knowing to give me strength for my new
office.
The circumstances in which the field
marshal and l had been summoned to
take the supreme command were eN-
tremely critical. Whereas we had hith-
erto been able to conduct our great
war of defense by that best means OF
waeine war-the offensive-we were
now reduced to a policy of pure de-
tense
The entente had gathered up all OF
their strength for mighty and, a s

our exposed right flank, or invade Bull

or other we were to receive our death
blow
We also had to reckon on increased
enemy activity in the Asiatic theatre.
We were engaged in q battle of Titians
unpara Aeled in history. Our nerves
and muscles braced themselves in
stinctively. for II was a question of
saving the fatherland from a position
of extreme peril, as we had done at
Tannenberg and in the operations
around LODI in less complicated but
no less serious circumstances.
NO RESPITE ON THE SOMME
ON the western front the Nerdun
battle was dying down, and in the
early days of July the battle on the
Somme had not brought the entente
the break-throush they hoped for.
The second battle of attention of the
year 1916 had since then been in full
swing on both banks of the Somme.

fury and without moments respite.
