CRISIS ON SOMME
PASSED, GERMAN
LEADERS BELIEVE
Allies Will Never Break
Teuton Lines, Warriors
Assert
"MURDER, NOT WAR"
By CARL W. ACKERMAN
fiunce mnm:cHTs headquaii-
Tfins ON THE WESTEUN FIIONT (via
Berlin and Sayvllle), Nov. 14.
Germany believes the Somme crisis linn
passed. The belief Is based on the un
shakable and unanimous opinion of the men
who have borne the hammerlnff blown thnt
the Entente Allies can never break throURh
these lines of steel and cement nbovo nnd
below ground.
Furthermore, It Is pointed out thnt success
In pushing the German lines out of France
and llelglum would make the occupied sec
tlons of these countries n shambles n "No
Man's Land"; mnde such by French, Urttlsh
and Iielglnn guns.
This confident belief thnt tho Allied of
fensive. Is wearing Itself out Is held In the
face of statements by llrltlsh prisoners
that tho month of November will be one of
surprises. The result of tho great Allli-d
offensive was decided In July, German olll
cers here declared, when Uie combined
French and Urittsh artillery and tho Eng
lish tanks failed to break tho Ocrman lines
In their daring Initial dash.
Here Is the opinion of a captain at Gen
eral von Garnler's headquarters, an Intel
ligence officer who Interviews nil prisoners,
reads all documents found on battle llcld.t,
whoso business also Is the study of strategy
and who spent a number of years In Eng
land and France:
"The Allied offensive was decided last
June, despite the fact that It has been kept
up four months longer. They cannot pro
gress further because battles today are de
cided by artillery, not Infantry Mats nt
tacks cannot gain what they did at the be
ginning "We have almost as much artillery now
as the French, nnd when we shortly shall
have as much ammunition they can make
no more progress. At some places the
French have fifty guns on a 160-yard line J
on an eight-mile line they have 1000 can
non. ''But ono must remember that this coun
try Is worth ten times more to the French
or BrlttBh than to us, for It Is tho French
man's home.
"Tho French realize this moro than the
English. Tho French destroy only what
military necessity requires. The English
destroy everything with their artillery.
"Here on the Somme Is Franco's great
est tragedy, for If tho Allien expect to re
deem the entire occupied territory In this
fashion they will make Franca and Belgium
territory a No Man's Land.
The Immediate objective of the Franco
British offensive was to reach Bapnumo
and Peronne through a break In our lines.
They figured this would cause our with
drawal to other positions. No matter how
deep their wedge goes we will not withdraw
and wo still havo Bapaume and Peronne."
The Impression here Is that Hindenburg
will force such a price from the Allies that
they cannot pay ft.
The battle of the Somme Is being fought
by young men. Fully olghty per cent of
the English and French prisoners are be
tween nineteen nnd thirty. Most of the
Germans are the sumo nge.
Another matter of deep Interest Is the
part p'geons are playing In this great series
of battles. They have proved Invaluable,
especially when artillery destroys tele
. phonic communications with hidden Ger
man, guns. There are e'ghty of them In one
hayloft on the Somme. They are helping
out'as the eyes of the defenders. When line
communications are cut they are sent back
to artillery stations with bulletins telling
where Infantry is approaching, when cav
alry Is seen nnd where tanks are lumbering
toward the lines. Within a few minutes ar
tillery hell Is loosed.
It Is a wonder there aro enough men left
to fight after one night of battle In which
artillery' fire Is ceaseless and gas attacks
seemingly enveloping. Watching a battle
one night from a height eight miles away
the gas used by attacking British forces
was so strong we could still get the fumes.
While watching I met a young man who
lived most of his life in Newark, N. J., who
had been released from active fighting to
act as Interpreter for prisoners.
"This Isn't war," he said ; "It's murder."

GERMANY STILL HAS 0,r)00,000
MEN, SAYS BRITISH WRITER
Allies Must Strain Every Ncrvo to Pro
paro for Next Ycnr's Strugglo
LONDON, Nov. 14. The military corre
spondent of the Times, writing on man
power, says!
"Germany's wise economy of her young
contingents, her constant re-cxamlnatlon
or the medically unfit, her refusal of tho
claims of conscientious objectors, and her
success In restoring to the colors a high
proportion of wounded men, while using
her prisoners In factories nnd on tho farms,
have enahled her to maintain In the field
a full strength for a longer period than nny
ono thought possible.
"Dy a well-organized system of substitu
tion, Germany has been able to build up
200 field divisions and cannot now have less
than 6.B00.OO0 men In her field armies, lines
of communication and reserves.
'The Allies aro faced with the necessity
of straining overy nerve to place In "tho field
next year every man, gurf nnd shell thnt
they can produce.
"Russia still has ample reserves and will
produce lnrgo nrnllcs each year that tho
wnr lasts. Italy monthly Increases nnd
Improves both tho quantity nnd qunllty of
her nrmles, while Frnnce has been most
successful In drawing more men from civil
employment nnd now excels In tho art of
accomplishing great things In the field with
relatively slight losses.
"In a parliamentary paper on Irish man
power It Is estimated that there are 161,000
men In Ireland now nvallablo for military
set vice."
