As HOPEIESSv

"Just as our great offensive was
brought TO stop on July Is. imme-
diately II was seen that its continu-
alton would involve undue sacrifice
OF life. so now We must make up our
minds to abandon the further prose
cution Of the war as hopeless. There
Ii still time for this. The German
army has still the strength TO keep
the enemy at bay for months. to
achieve local successes and TO cause
further losses to the entente. But
each new day brings the enemy
nearer TO his aim. and makes him tho
less ready to conclude n reasonable
peace with us.
I'VE must accordingly lose no time.
Every ~ hours that pass may make
our position worse and give the
enemy clearer view Of our present
weakness.
THAT might have the most disas-
trous consequences, both for the
prospects Of peace and for the mill
