EUROPE WILL CATCH STEP.

One Of the chief economic difficult
ties in Europe has been the compare
tive slowness with which men re-
leased from military service have re-
turned to peaceful pursuits, In Eug-
land the government is still paying
enormous sums on account of unem-
ployment of discharged soldiers.
In Central Europe there has been
much unemployment, but for a differ
ent reason. In Germany and Austria
and Hungary unprecedented political
turmoil has prevailed. which was in
evitable in the formation of the new
governments. In Russia international
exchanges have been INSTRUCTED by
existing financial chaos resulting from
the new social regime.
At time when there was urgent
necessity for everybody to get to work
to repair the wastes of war, more par
ticularly as regards replenishment of
food supplies, production has contin-
ued far below normal. This has ag-
gravated the entire economic situa-
ton; but there is ground for the hope
that the worst is passed, and that
1920 will witness in Europe recupera-
ton from the effects of war. This
will tighten the burden upon the Uni
ted States in the matter of feeding the
world which in turn will greatly i'm
prove the domestic food situation.

by the war Prices are relatively
higher than in this country, and the
public debts are far greater, taxes
are crushing. Under the very best
conditions now possible, those people
have to bear an almost impossible
load.
The United States might deny food
TO these war-shocked people, but it
would be an act of hard heartedness.
In addition it would bring social rev
olution and create disaster, even in
this country. If the peoples Of Eu-
rope are going to settle down, go to
work, produce something to pay their
debts and support themselves, they
have to be helped until they readjust
and rebuild their shattered industries
Conditions ought to improve over
there within year. The United
States wheat director. who has been
Investigating food conditions in Eu-
rope, says that those countries will
raise q crop this year amounting to
10 per cent of normal. Considering
their exhausted position and lack of
man-power that is doing well. Next
year he hopes they will be far on the
road to self-support.
So the people of this country should
cheer up. bear their lighter troubles
with good spirit and share with the
peoples who are starving.

The American Federation of Labor
at its Atlantic City convention en-
dorsed James j. Forester for post
master general. He will not get the
position for two reasons-first, Bur-
Lesson, being democrat and from
Texas, isn't going to resign; and, sec
ond, Mr.. Forester, being president of
the Brotherhood of Railway Mail
clerks, would know something about
the business of the postoffice depart
ment, which disqualifies him from
acting as postmaster general. Cabinet
officers are chosen because of the no
litical prestige they can bring to the
administration and not because of
their familiarity with the duties of
office.

changed to our advantage. The 3rd
reserve division. and later the 37th
infantry division, too, won ground
west of Hohenstein; Won der Goltz's
Ldndwehr division entered Hohenstein
itself. The enemy front appeared to
be Wavering. General Won linden
burg wanted to go straight on to
Mullen.
We ran right into a momentary
panic, created by Russian prisoners
who We're being taken to the rear in
large numbers. This incident created
an unfavorable impression, as the dis
order spread far To the rear
In the evening we went to Osterode
(1S miles north of Tannenberg) Ow-
ing to an unfortunate mobilization
order the civil authorities had already
left the town, This must have consid-
erably increased the anxiety of the
civil population.
We were not at all clear as to how
things stood with the individual units /:
but there was no doubt that the battle
| was won. Whether or not 1t would
prove a real Cannae was uncertain.
The list army corps had orders to send
q force to Willenberg. whittier the
lIth army corps was also to proceed
The retreat of the Russians was to
be cut off
(This movement meant a junction
OF the west and east attacking forces
east OF Neidenburg across the only
gap left open to the Russians.)
During the night we learned further
details. The Russian 18th corps had
advanced from Allenstein on Hohen-
stein, and had pressed the LandwehI
severely, The list reserve corps had
come down southwest of Allenstein-
its further advance would close the
ring around the Russian 18th corps
and thus conclude the whole opera :
ton, whilst the fst and 18th army
corps cut off the retreat of the other
divisions.

On the morning of the 29th l decid-
ed to go to Hohenstein to try and dis
entangle the congestion caused by the
troops getting mixed up. Operations
against Rennenkampf's army had to
be initiated, whether he advanced or
stood where he was.
Still another incident occurred be-
fore we were certain of victory.
Early on the 29th we received a
message by airplane that hostile
army corps was marching on Neider-
burg from the south and was nearing
the town. 1t was therefore coming UP
In the rear of the LIST army corps,
which, with its front facing north, was
fighting the retreating Russians Al
most at the same moment we were
called M from Neidenburg and in
formed that hostile shrapnel was fall
ing on the town.
Then We were cut off All availa-
Bile troops were set marching in the
direction of Neidenburg, to support
the LIST army corps in the engagement
we anticipated, But General Won
Francois had saved himself already
by his own energy. and the enemy
displayed more hesitation than the
situation justified.
After giving these orders set out
for Hohenstein. and on the way went
over the battlefield. which made a
deep impression on me. Fast of Ho-
henstein our own columns were get
ting entangled with masses of Russian
prisoners. and 1t was no easy task to

and the 2Utn army corps were assem-
bled along the road from Allenstein
to Hohenstein, and the army COM
mand had thus again at least two
corps at its disposal.
Russians Press the Ring Hard.
The battle was drawing to con-
cluson. The 3rd reserve division had
broken through the enemy lines and
reached Muschaken. east of Neiden-
burg. The Russians, retiring through
the thick woods, tried to break
through the German ring at several
points, At Muschaken, in particular,
very heavy fighting took place on the
30th, but without in any way influ-.
encing the issue of the battle.
General Samsonoff shot himself
and was buried near Willenberg with
out being recognized. His widow, who.
was in Germany in connection with
matters concerning prisoners of war,
was able to trace his grave by locket
which had been taken for identified
ton purposes from the body of the
fallen general when he was buried
The Russian generals who were
taken prisoners arrived at Osterode
and reported to General Won linden
burg.
The number of prisoners taken and
the amount of booty captured are
already we'll known.
The enemy losses in killed and
wounded, too were extremely heavy.
The widely circulated report that
thousands of Russians were driven
| into the marshes and there persisted
Is a myth; no marsh was to be found
anywhere near,
Named IL For Old Battle
One of the most brilliant battles in
the history of the world had been
fought. 1t bad been the achievement
of troops which had been fighting for
weeks, sometimes unsuccessfully To
the training OF our army in peace
time, alone, did we owe this feat.
The battle was a glorious triumph for
the generals and their troops. indeed,
for every officer and man, and the
whole country

Nothing remained to be done on
August rs (l914) but to give orders
Tor the LIST army corps to occupy
Niedenburg. In the meantime the
corps had already made a turning
movement in that direction. I (This
army corps had broken through the
Russian lines from the west the day
before and advanced more than Is
miles Neidenburg was the principal
base of the large Russian forces oper-
ating around Allenstein, 80 miles to
the north.)
The goth army corps was to carry
out the attack which had been fixed
for the 9th and more especially to
push forward the 4lst infantry divi-
sion (The goth had been held up
the day before in an attempt to pro-
gress on the right of the LIST corps

The list reserve corps and 18th army
corps Operating against the eastern
flank of the Russians) were moved
up west, covered against attack from
Ortelsburg CTS miles southeast of
Allenstein) to positions on line
running from Allensten to Passen-
helm.
(These two corps taken from in

his huge army inactive 40 miles away,
had driven 20 miles on the right
flank of Samsonoffs army and SAM

Goes Close TO the Battle Lines;
Finds Troops I'm Grave Peril.
Early on the 2Sth we went to Froge-
nau Uess than three miles behind the
battle line at Tannenberg) and estab-
lished ourselves in the open at the
eastern end of the village. A very
ineffective field telephone connected
us with the list army corps GS miles
away, but no communication at all
was possible with the other forces.
Our first impressions were by no
means favorable. Neidenburg had
certainly been taken, but the 4lst in
fantry division had attacked 'Waplitz
c. miles east of Tannenberg) in a fog
and been driven back. This division,
which had suffered heavy casualties,
was now holding positions west OF
Waplitz and anticipating a hostile
counter-attack with the greatest anx-
iety. | sent an officer there by car to
give me a report on the condition of
the division. and his account was not
encouraging. The Landwehr near
Mullen Go miles west of Waplitz)
were not making progress.
If the enemy attacked the right
wing of the goth army corps In great
force, grave crisis might result, and,
at the best, the battle would be pro-
longed. Now there was Rennen-
kampf's chance to intervene. But the
enemy made no attack on the 41st
infantry division and the Niemen
army did not advance.
Captain Bartenwerffer, of the staff
of the 18th army corps, flew over the
enemy lines and brought good reports
of the progress of his corps in the
enemy's rear.
