of the fatherland to the highest de-
gree.
GH.Q.'s demands on the imperial
government comprised man-power,
war material and moral resolution
We endeavored, as far as we could,
to influence our allies in the same
sense. Austria had already raised the
age limits of the Landsturm to SIS,
and Turkey raised the limit of liabil-
ity to service to so. So they made
the utmost use of their man-power--
at any rate. on paper
In such situation CHG must
devote more attention than ever to
the question of using the resources
of the occupied territories.
These were the definite changes
made BY G.H.Q. for the future
The chief of the naval staff advo-
Gated unrestricted submarine warfare,
which would apply to neutral ships

most effective assistance that the
navy could render the army in its
desperate struggle.
1t was doubtful whether the enc

battle; an attempt to bring it on had
been made in August, but without re-
suit. Enemy minefields progressive

Feared Small Neighbors.
The question of the unrestricted
U-boat war was discussed as early as
August 80, at the request of the i'm
perial chancellor

should simply lie idle in this contest
of nations. 1t was not enough help
for the army merely to keep the Bal
tic open, and contribute the naval
corps in Flanders, while the opera
tons of the entente received decisive
assistance from their navy.
Only with extreme regret could we
refuse to pronounce in favor of unre-
stricted submarine warfare. on the
ground that, in the opinion of the i'm
perial chancellor. it might possibly
lead to war with Denmark and Hol-
land.
We had not man to spare to pro-
tect ourselves against these states and
even if their armies were unaccus-
toned to war, they were in posi-
ton to invade Germany, and give us
our death blow. We should have been
defeated before the effects, promised
by the navy of an unrestricted Uboat
campaign, could have made them
selves felt.
The discussion, however, afforded
an opportunity of overhauling our
defensive arrangements on the Danish
and Dutch frontiers. The northern
command was instructed TO fortify
these frontier lines. The governors
general in Brussels was asked to
hurry on as much as aVaila BILE labor
permitted the construction of fortified
lines on the Belgian frontier with
which a beginning had already been
made.

How heavily Rumania weighed on
his mind when he took full command
of the German armies in 1916 is
shown by Ludendorff tomorrow. He
lacked troops to meet the great men,
ace of the Rumanian advance into
Pennsylvania and had to denude the
eastern front still further. He also
found Bulgaria was a very selfish
ally, who pursued her own aims with
out regard to the fortunes of Ger
many.
