Paris Some months later the Germans
endeavored to repair their error and &C.
cupied the coast, but at Ypres they
were defeated
YpreS was the direct consequence of
their initial error. The right wing was
too weak
As to whether the German retreat in
the first battle of the Marine was neceS-
sary or too hasty / consider that ii
was both. From the strategic point of
view con account of the faults which
have mentioned the German army
found itself before Paris in a rather
precarious position: for we had turned
its right wing. and gap had formed
between the first army (Kluck) and the
second army (Bulow).
Could Have Recovered.
On the other hand. the Germans
could still have recovered, instead Of
retreating with so much haste Today
one may clearly see that the intelli-
gence service Of our opponents was very
defective.
Only thus could be explained the part
played by Lieut. Col Hensch. whose
pesSimistic reports determined the
general retreat on the whole German
front.
A psychological explanation Is given
us by the letters Of Gen. Moltke, chief
Of the great staff. To his wife-letters

saries completely failed; 1t proved very
inferior to its task.
Ought the Germans To have followed

an overwhelming offensive against Rus

must point oft that the execution of a.
plan is more important than the plan
itself The German scheme against the
western front was good, but in the
execution it failed.

Spring Of 1918 the Germans could still
have won. II they had arrived at

TOR II years Uncle Sam has had
- silent partner" in the Ma
tional Capital about whom the
4 public has known little or MOTH
ing, who has .cO-ordinated the
zeal OF public spirited citizens Of
the best scientific knowledge and re-
search ard the use of private capital
TO cooperate in a non-partisan way
with the Federal Government to make
the structure and administration Of
public affairs more efficient and in the
best interest of public welfare
This partner is the Institute for Gov
eminent research. which was incorpor-
ated under the laws of the District Of
Columbia on March l6, 1915, and be-
gan active operations in the following
October The motive lying back OF
the creation of this institute was the
belief that the task of operating gov
ernments under modern conditions Is
so vast, so complicated and SO difficult
that there is an imperative need OF an
agency which, itself having no respon-
sibility for the conduct Of operations,
and being in position TO view the
matter effectively can subject the
whole problem to critical examination
with a view to determining the prin-
ciples and practices that should be en-
pioyed il this great task is TO be salts
factorily performed, and TO seek to
have these principles and practices
adopted by our governing bodies.
Aims Are Set Forth.
The manner in which this organiza

pose cannot be better set forth than as
stated in the predatory note that APP

follows

Some Important Work.
In many respects the most important.
work of the institute has been the d.
rect cooperation OF Its director and
members of the staff with members of
| Congress and administrative officers in
working out the improvements in the
| administrative practices and procedure
OF the National Government The in
stltute thus played very prominent
part, both in urging the adoption of
national budget system and In assisting
the select committees ON the budget OF
the two houses in framing the bill
which became the budget and account
ing act of 1921. On the enactment of
this bill the institute, on the request o.
the first director of the budget, Charles
c. Dawes. rendered valuable assistance
in working out the technical problems
involved III preparing the form OF
statements To be contained In ths
budget In like manner the institute
rendered valuable services To the Joint
committee on reorganization of the
administrative services. which reported
several years ago and to the committees
on civil service of the two houses IN
framing the bill which became the elias
sification act Of 1928 Its advice and
help has also been sought by the con-
troller general and officers of the Treas
ury Department in revising and improy-
ing the system of public accounting.
Its special studies on the statistical
work of the National Government and
the activities of the Government In
the field of public health have laid the
basis for improving these two features
Of public administration.
One Unusual Feature.

the institute of which the public
knows little is the preparation of serv-
