been so rapid and spectacular that it alarmed him
He sent out an inexperienced aid Lieutenant Colonel
Hentsch, to observe and report
dentsch went to the front, was shocked by the
sight of the dead and wounded spectacle he never
had witnessed-and advised ordering a retreat
Moltke followed Hentschs advice and gave the order
to withdraw when nothing remained except to walk
triunphantly into Paris The retreat was in process
before the much talked Of French offensive had begun
The latter was nothing more than following up
of the retiring Germans. 1t never could have saved
Paris if Moltke had been we'll advised There is not
the shadow of a doubt that if Nackensen, Falken-

shoes the war would have been by Oct. l, 1914.

Russian army at Tannenburg without nterruptng
the German offensive in the west--a stroke of good
fortune not in the German program.
It is probably futile to speculate on whether the
world would have been better today as the result of
a quick German victory like this 1t would have
saved tha four years Of horror which followed But
it would have strengthened enormously the military
clique in Germany, and probably would have made
Germany after 1914 something like what We were
taught to believe she was before that date.

who Saved Paris in 1914?

The death of Marshal Jofre affords good oppor-
tunity for looking into the actual facts behind the
great German withdrawal which saved Paris in Sep
TENDER 1914 These facts prove that the kaiser did
not start the war, at least he lost it. Xix
wilhelm lost the war because Of his loyalty to 3
man and name rather than to the principles of
sound military craftsmanship. The German chief of
staff was Helmuth Won Moltke nephew of the hero
of the Franco Prussian war. He was nice fellow,
but no military strategst Of high order. He had no
zeal or enthusiasm for European war.

an aggressive military leader.
Such was the man intrusted with the execution

that the chief cause Of our illogical
policy is more pig-headedness.
In the beginning, there may have
been a sincere belief that the whole
trouble could be cleared in a
short time. Even if this was war
it was such a little one that nobody
would notice.
The American public has been
fed upon official lies worthy of a
world war. SANDING and his lieu
