a German Account of the Marne

The visit Of Marshal Joffre, the
military genius who wrought the
miracle of the Marne," invests with
timeliness the account of that bat
tie, and especially of how the Ger
mans lost it, which has recently been
published by General Won Hausen.
who commanded the German Third
Army from the beginning of the
war until just after the Marine, when
he was stricken with typhus and
compelled to retire.
His Third Army, it may be re-
called, was composed entirely of
Saxons, and General Won Hausen
seeks to vindicate it against some
dlsparaging rumors which - pre-
sumably from Prussian sources
have been circulated concerning its
responsibility for the retreat of the
German armies from the Marne.
This general retreat was, he saws,
ordered from the grand headouar
ters on the afternoon Of September
8. The order, of which he gives the
text, began with the blunt adrnis-
sion, 1.-The situation is unfavorable. :"
and continued: "The Fifth Army is
held before Nerdun, the Sixth and
Seventh are before Nancy and
Eplnal. and the Second is only rub
blsh. Retreat behind the Marne is
inevitable. The right wing of the
Second Army has not retired but
has been driven back. II is there
tore necessary TO withdraw the
armies all at once and to lead them
back; the Third to the north of
Chalons, the Fourth and Fifth past
Clermont-en-Argonne without los
lng touch with Nerdun. The First
Army must also draw back in the
direction Of Scissors, Fere-en-Tar-
denols, or, if it comes to the worst.
even to Laon-La Fere."
Inc next morning General Won
BuloW sent to grand Headquarters
q dispatch stating that, in accord
ance with the views Of Hentsch. the
mason officer, the First Army was
retreatlng behind the .Aisne, adding
that the Second Army must sup
port the First north Of the Marne.
otherwise the right wing of the
armies will be broken through and
rolled up
Orders from the high command
instantly followed, placing the First
and Second armies under a single
command and causing the three
others to retreat. Thus was the bat
lie lost and won.
Still more significant than these
details are General Won Hausen's
structures upon the faults of ORGAN
lzatlon and command in the German
armies which contributed to turning
the scale in favor of the Allies. The
high command was part of the
time at Coblenz and part in Luxem
burg, too far away to Judge the
situation, base its decisions upon
knowledge and give orders in time
to be effective, Each of the five Ger
man armies accordingly maneu-
vered on its own account, with en-

tirely insufficient connections with
the others and with the rear. Gross
misunderstanding daily occurred
among the various commanders. The
whole purport Of General Won Hau~
sens Souvenirs is. in brief, to sad
die the high command with blum
dering and inefficiency responsible
for the loss Of the battle.
If'this view be taken. IN order to
diminish in any degree the glory of
the French and British arms by
making it appear that not their valor
but German laundering should be
credited with the result of the battle,
it is obvious that it in a still greater

More Truth Than Poetry
By Jane, J. Montague
What Stopped the Chinese


The Chinese child has little ease
in studying his A B C's,
He pegs away the livelong day
Nor dares to rest minute.
Inside his head he has TO get the
copious Chinese alphabet,
Which has about--we've figured
out
Three thousand letters in it.
The Chinese poet who essays to
sing his pink-cheeked flap
per's praise,
And softly rhyme the thrill sub
lime
OF loves delightful fetters,
Gets wearied out before he's done,
for really hardly any one
Can we'll enthuse who has to use
Three thousand wriggly letters.
A Chinese printer has to sweat a
week to get q column set;
1t takes an age to set a page,
And there would be a riot
If, when the type was in the
chase. some clumsy bungler
round the place
Breczed through the room and
sealed his doom
By happening to pi it.
The Chinese have not got as far
rs almost all the nations are;
They had the start in wealth
and art,
But their great days have
faded.
And we'd be back as far as thew
If, in our nations younger
day,
Our chief concern had been to
learn
An alphabet like they did.

Grant as q Statesman

The qualities which made Grant a
successful soldier didn't servo him so
uhfailingly in politics. His two terms
as President almost wrecked him in
lopular esteem. The scandals which
clouded his second administration
brought the Democratic party back TO
power in tho House Of Repre- esentatives
for the first time since the war. This
reversal occurred in the election Of
1874. But it had been preceded in
1872 by the Liberal Republican seces-
slon--a protest on the part of the "in-
telligenzia" of the party, which failed
Of effect chiefly because Greeley and
his supporters were prematurely per-
suaded that for political purposes the
war was over"
In 1876 Samuel ]. Tilden had a
plurality Of the popular vote and tho
electoral vote was disputed. The
Electoral Commission gave Hayes a
majority Of one. But the moral effect
Of the 1875 election was indisputable.
1t was a Reputation Of Grants course
as politician, II not as statesman.
In December, 1875, the House Of Rep
resentatives had passed by an over
whelming vote. resolution declaring
againsS third term candidacy. In
1850, when Grant sought third no,ni-
natlon~-or WAS put in tho position Of
seeking one by the Stalwart leaders,
he failed because the more progress
slve and enlightened elements in the
Republican party, than referred to as
half Breeds, had turned irrevocablv
against him.
