in the exlcltement of the national holl
nay and attendant events Paris has not
overlooked the deep significance of the
speech of the German Chancellor, , Von
HCrtllng. but has hnn .. . l.
--- .... w, puinc Linn;
making up Us mind as to the real slg-
nlflcnnce of the speech The conclusion
I now come to Is that th speech was de-
Iliered for the benefit of the German
PPlc. just as Von Kuehlmann's was for
the benefit of the outside world
In view of the fact that the resigna
tion of i on Kuehlmann and the nomina
tlon of on Hlntze as his successor un
doubtedly caused some uneasiness among
the German public. It is felt here that
j i on Hertllng's sole object was to regain
! the confidence of the people and tessure
them This wis the reason for the ..
ment that Von Hintze's nppolntn.ent
meant no change of policy, and that he
had agreed to fellow In every way the
Chancellor's lead
Von Hertllng's declaration is looked
upon here as a characteristically eleior
stroke, such as might he expected from
m Jm?! 1s mp" lino"'n for tactfulness
and ability to pacify and conciliate The
Allies, therefore, must not entertain any
Illusion as to his statements The out
standing fact Is that Von Hlntze has been
nominated as Foreign Secretary, and
ion Hlntze Is the man of the Pan-Germans
and belongs to the military parts
He Is known as possessing a violent and
obstinate character, and. In spite of nil
Von Hertllng's assurances, the chances
are that he and his policy will lead and
not be led.
The second part of Von Hertllng's
speech, which concerned Russia, Is con
sidered In ofTlclnl circles here as of eien
greater Importance. It is eildent that
the German Goiernment realizes that Its
eastern policy since the Brcst-Litoisk
treaty has been a failure, and that the
anti-German demerits In Russia are get
ting stronger eiery day
Von Hertllng's words. II is believed
here, are a clear admission that a new
policy Is being considered, which may
be the exact reverse of that "followed up
to the present; that Is to i-ay, that an
effort to suhstituto order for anaichy will
replace the policy hitherto followed
Meanwhile the Allies, like the Germans,
are watching the situation and expecting
new German moves In Russia

Seldom has Maxlmlflan Harden laid
about him with such cutting and widely
distributed hlows as he does In Die
Zukunft of this week. From the talkative
belllcoso Kaiser to tho dismissed Kuehl
mann, all come under the stroke of the!
sword. It is a pogrom against Potsdam
and all It stands for. It is a telling and
daring onslaught on the German Govern
ment and Its policy
He begins by quoting from the first
French yellow book to show how. In
1913, the war feeling was rising In Ger-
rtiany. and then he says:
yi
Wo have done everything to make It
easy for the French and British to show
that every Impression of 1913 Is a real

middle of June, only one thing had been
wanting, namely, proof that the Kaiser
had long regarded the war as Inevitable
and desired something like world rule
"The speech delivered on the thirtieth
anniversary of his ascension and a wise
Chancellor would have suggested an in
spiring message of thanks to the nation,
a far-reaching amnesty or generous gifts
to the army, as more appropriate has

RAISER MAY USE NAVY
TO CUT OFF BRITISH
German Strategy Believed
Aimed at Destruction of
English Army
Special Cable to Ei ening Public Ledger
Copyright, llf. by yr York Tiwei Co
I.pnilnn, July 16
No surprises were reiealcd In the
German method of attack In yesterday's
drlie, the enemy relying on his usual
plan of heavy bombardment and massed
onslaughts with storm troops
It Is now permissible to state that
definite Information reached London last
week not only as to the imminence of
the German attack on the western front,
but as to the localllv In which the first
blows would be struck It is therefore
deducted that German headquarters
railed to take neneral Koch by surprise
and that the Allied generalissimo's plans I jector
for countering the German blow will Muring the second Liberty Loan cam
work out effectively inlgn he leferred to Liberty Loan pa
It Is Interesting to note tint one ride a "ilaierv loan parades." much
theory strongly held here Is that the j lo the disgust of those with whom he
main German strategy Is goierned bv,as associated, and he was reported
the Idea less of forcing a wav to Paris Later It was proved that he said he
than by drawing the Allied iesereo I Heard the Liberty Loan campaign was

point In the line where uccecs would I "as also nroien at his trial that he
seriously endanger the British forces re
stricted to cramped maneuvering ground
on the narrow front north of a line
drawn from Amiens to Dieppe
An Integral part of this theory is that
simultaneously the German high com
mand would send out the fleet In the
hope of cutting or Interrupting cross
channel communlcitlons and thereby
possibly compelling the destruction or
surrender of a great British army.
Nevy Hopes Tills Is rlnn
Naval men here hope this Is the Ger
man plan, for they are confident that
the German high sea fleet could never
accomplish its allotted part In the
scheme, but In the view of those who
hold this theory the German high com
mand will not hesitate to hazard the
fleet If It sees any chance of winning a
grand-scale victory which, although it
would not be decisive, would give Prus
sian militarism a further lease of life
While It Is, of course, too early to de
termine whether or not the simulta
neous onslaughts are the main offensive
of tho German plan of operations, there
Is some tendency to believe that the
concentrations which the Germans are
known to have made at other parts of
the line point to the latter alternative
and that the German stroke toward
Paris may be the prelude to anothei nt
lack further to the north, possibly In
the neighborhood of Albert an 1 Arras
Speculation on this point will bo fWed
when It has become possible to arrive
by identification of divisions at the
number of troops employed on the pres
ent battlefront.
The Germans usually attack on a
frontage of one mile to a division, and
If their past methods have been retained
In the present assault, they aro imply
ing some thirty divisions For the mi
ment the Impression here is that lhe
measure of success achieve! by the
enemy Is not commensurate with .ii'.v
such great expenditure of effort.
The news received in London. Indeed,
Is considered to be very satisfactory on
tho whole, but several hours of fighting
have Intervened since the tlmo of Its

the Prussian and German conception of
the world was consistent with right
freedom, 'honor and morality; that tho
war was not a mere strategic campaign,
but that It could iot be ended until this
conception triumphed absolutely over the
Anglo-Saxon pagan worship of money.
And yet, with that as our aim, we hear
sneers from all quarters at the repetition
of Moltke's warning that the next war
might last thirty years was an exaggera
tion. "How," asked others, "does this
fatalistic view fit In with the official
legend of the attack which took a peace
ful people by surprise? And what will
the attitude of the German people be to
the call to fight and starve until the
Anglo.Saxondoni of England and Amer
ica Is annihilated or forced to adopt the
manner of thought prescribed by Ger
man KUUUP7
Harden appears to agree with Sem
bat. who in L'Humanlte, said the
Kaiser's Intention In making his speech
was to show himself the head of the
Pan-German movement; and he goes
on:
"Five continents now see In the Ger
man Kaiser a man who Is determined to
carry out the Pan-German program.
Important will be the effect on Austria
Hungary's parliaments, which will not
be long silent, and on our other Allies
who. In more cautious voices, will protest
against the idea that they are fighting
for the triumph of the Prussian-German
conception of the world."
Harden holds triat the Chancellor or
his deputy or iCujhlmaiin ought to ha
had the courage at least to "h.iy (oud
that expressions of opinion given wing
by festivity should not be tal'en a's a
program or as binding political utter

missioned Thus the step from the
ranks to a commission was accomplish
ed In less than a year, and it is quite '
piobable that some of them will be first I
lieutenants and even captains before
the lapse of another six months .
Organizing New Division
Steps toward the organization of the
new division here will .be started In a
few days It Is understood that it will
be a regular army division, or at least
a division with a numeral such as Is
given the divisions of the regular army.
Several regiments of regulars may he
used as n nucleus In forming the new
division. No announcement as to the
plans of the organization have been
made. In fact, the cam'p authorities
say they have no knowledge of the In
tentions of the Vv'ar Department witn
regard , to the organization of the I
division' I
Much Interest Is being centered in the '
new German drive oi the west front,
particularly because or the participation
of so many troops. The dispatches are
being watched for eagerly by the com
manding officers here It is quite
probable that a number of men who were
in training here last fall are now In the
thick of the fray "over there " Many
lads were drawn from this cantonmenv
and sent to other camps to fill gaps in
units which it is known are in the front
line trenches.

War Correspondents' Headquarters on
tho Western Front, July 16.
The new phase of the German of
fensive that opened on a wide front
against the French was not unex
pected by them. For some little time
there have been signs pointing to this
likelihood.
The long delay of tho enemy In be
ginning a new battle, when to win a
big success on the old ground of at
tack demanded extreme rapldltv of
action In order to get in advance ot
the new- defensive power of the
French. British and American armies,
was an obvious warning that the Ger
man high command was massing else
where Direct and absolute evidence
of this was procured recently and
it is good to know that the Allies
have not been surprised and made
preparations to resist this new on
slaught It is possible th:it after waiting a
few davs to watch the effect of the
fierce attack on both sides of liheims,
Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria will
be ordered to make a number of hold
ing attacks against the British He
has enough men to do so nt least
to strike n number of short hanimen
blows with the object of keeping the
British troops heavily encaged, but
It seems probable that now that thp
main German thrust has been directed
aualnst the French in Champagne,
there will be no German divisions to
spare for large adventures with the
purpose of gaining the coast by way
of Hazelirourk or Abbeville
Philosophy of I.ast Stakes
The very best they can hope to do
now Is to attack with limited ob
jectives In order to keep the British
engaged while they develop their
operations against the French Even
that Is the philosophy of men who plav
their last stakes In thp dieadful game
Thev have taken an immense haz
ard, for if things go badly with them
they will he utterly lost Since that
day of March 21, when they hoped
to break the British, .vast numbers
of American soldiers have come to
Fiance and thev stand armed nnd
waiting, gieat legions which arc but
the vanguard of oven mightier armies,
and with something to say some very
striking things to sav nnd to show
when tho Germans have laid them
selves open to their weapons
Today, when tho flags of July 14
arc still fluttering on many cottages
and many villages and roads behind
tho war zone are being promenaded
by women and children and old peo
ple in their holiday clothes, the Ger
mans are striking another blow at '
tho heait of France, but the heart
of Fiance which has boon long bleed-

An affair at Rldgewood, wher '.
British have taken many prisoners1 taA .
machine guns In a surprise attack of
a local kind. Is of small Interest com-',
pared with the battie raging along a '
wide front In Champagne, but It Is
good as a sign that the soldiers here
are strong and ready and a match for
Rupprecht's men when the odds art
fair
In the war zone there Is no holiday
nor any truce, but Sunday was cele
brated at Amiens by a little banquet
below ground at Amiens which Is un
der fire from German guns so that the
life one knew In its streets has gone'
and the Old World beauty of its houses
has been scarred and stricken with many v
wounds by Innumerable shells flung lntot,
the city since the last days of March,,
by an enemy angry at being kept be
yond Its walls
That little banquet, where I happened,
to be one of the guxsts, was spiritual
ized by a sense of romance and emo
tion stirring those who rat at the table
In the cellar, men wnp love old Amiens
because they were its citizens and guar
dians In peace, as well as In war, who
have in their hearts its thousand years,
of history, and to whom every stone"
of its cathedral and every old carved
beam In Its s'xteen'h-ccntury houses ll
a part ot the treasure which made Ami
ens one of the glories of France.
