Into battle against almost impossible
orders. The worst had been passed on
the night of the HCtli. On the :8th the
llrst nrltlsh-French counter-attack was
made. Artillery und Infantry re-enforce-1
menis were accumulating; the First
army uas nble to detrain and form as
a whole, instead of In fragments, nnd
the enemy was nearly stopped. The first
phase of the offensive was over, and Its
alms had not been attained.
There arc many lessons to be drawn
from these events, and many respon
sibilities to examine, hut one conclusion
leapt to the eyes as of supremo Im
portance. The main aim of the German
grand staff was to destroy the Hrltl.-h
army as a preliminary to' the destruc
tion of the French.
The governing tdea of Its method was
to strike as swiftly and powerfully as
possible at tho Allied points of Junc
tion in other words, to tako full ad
vantage of tho weakness arising from
the separation of the Allied commands.
All of them havo been tried In turn
the Franco-Hrltlsh. the British-Portuguese,
tho Uelgo-IJrltlsh and there was
on Wednesday a blow at the point of
junction in Santcrre. between tho Frcm-h
nnd the llrrt American division to take
an active part In the. great battle.
Tho Germans have always nehl lack
of unity of comma ml to bo the most
egregious weakness of tho Allied armies,
and they have taken terrlblo toll of our
Insubordination. I know perfectly well
what could bo said in extenuation, and
now wo ull know the cost of our ex

the most extreme crisis In our modern

Germany promised to pay IOC marks a

IOHD UOBEIIT Cr.Clli discussed the
Jexpccted Oerman peace offensive, and
said that he looked for It as part of
their regular war plan.
"It will be meant mainly for Internal
consumption," he tald. "Of course. It
has proved futile to prophesy In this
war, but I believe that tho German gen
eral plan Is supposing that they can
not win a decisive victory over the Al
lies to go on fighting In the-west until
they havo acquired complete commercial
hold over tho cast. If they once really
establish themselves In Itussla there Is
no reason why they should not fight
tho whole world forever."
Asked If he Included1 In the German
plans the use of Itussla's man-power,
Lord llobert said that hi) did twv ex
pect that Immediately, hut It might come
later. Ho went on to say that these
grnndloso plans depended on many
things; and tho German Government's
great object In launching n peace of
fensive at this time was to induce Its
own people to carry on from week to
week and month to month, In the belief
bo directed very largely against Eng

they think will bo attractive to this
country."
Ho then explained bis Idea of the
Oerman tactics. First, thero w-as In the
German newspapers a great outburst of
Pan-Germanism, which was permitted,
It not encouraged, by the Government
Then, when tho German peace offers
ore made, perhaps to Kngland, they will
bo so much less than what the Pan
Germans havo claimed that the Govern
ment will bo ablo to appeal to Its people
to admire Its moderation. Meanwhile.
In case something might come of Its
move, it has permitted1 the circulation
of the I.lchnowsky memorandum and
has paid official tribute to the bravery
of tho British troops, to lessen the bit
terness of feeling against Kngland."

for bread-making, arranged so that
members of the audience will he per
mitted to take active part in the
demonstration, making bread them
selves under Mrs. Wilson's direction.
Slices of the bread atso will be sent
for inspection among members of the
audience and then another group 'of
women will be taught to bake. From
seven to ten kinds of bread will be
baked without the use of any wh,eat
flour.
"These are to be round table con
ferences," said Mrs. Wilson yesterday,
"at which bread troubles of house
wives will be clarified. They will not
be lectures, but actual demonstration!."
Bread, pie, cake, doughnuts, noodles
and even strawberry shortcake may bo
made as tastefully by using wheat sub
stitutes as they were before the war
with alt-wheat flour, according to Mrs.
Wilson, who will back up the assertion
by actual "teste. it. first" baking proofs
during the demonstration. Those who
have been experiencing some trouble
with flour substitutes, due to lack of
knowledge in proper handling of the
ingredients, will be shown the most
effective method of utilizing bran,
cornmeal, oatmeal and other staples
in the place of wheat.
