“=> | WAR’ EXPERT GERMAN NILITARISM HAS LOST WAR BY ITS RECKLESS SACRIFICE OF MEN Von Hindenburg Has Proved He Hasn’t Sensé Enough to Win; for Broken. at St. Quentin and He Didn't Follow MASON SAYS: He Had the Allied Line A MATTER OF Up His Advantage; No Reason for Pessemisni Now on Part ofthe Allies By the way, have you ‘noticed that the German communiques lately. aren’t saying, anything about’ the crown pririce, who com- mands th as if the his’suicidal fiasco at. Verdun. Written Especially for the Daily: Tri- bune by J. W..7. Mason, the Noted . American Military Critic German. militarism. has lost the war by its stupenduous mistake, in takt the initiative. in the destruction of man-power along the west front. ‘No more fatat error than this, has |: ever been committed by, abaolutist leaders holding in their power, contro} over the life and: death of a great na- tion’s manhood, ‘ & A reckless gambler with death ‘Von Hindenburg has proven himself to be, lke all his kind. His reputation © al- ready has begun to totter; it’s collapse is inevitable. ~ s This reputed. superman set forth to win the war for German autocracy p: breaking the allies’ line in Picardy. Had the line held, Von Hindenburg reputation might still be secure, for. it is_always legitimate for a general to take such risks as. this. But thé front ga¢e way, and yet Von Hindenburg lost. i : That is the most important event, in the world war since the Battle of the Marne. It far transcends any other,oc- currence since the present series of combats, began> The decline in Von Hinden- burg’s reputation must date: from the events that happened immed- iately after the battle of St. Quen- tin. % The allied line had broken! Here was the qolden opportuni- ty for which Germany's militar. ists had been planning during nearly four years of warfare. But the great German war ma- chine collapsed when confronted with the sudden test. During that fateful 24-hours, the history of the, world might have been changed if the German lead- ers had’ been: the’geniuses they. announce themselves to be. ‘ But it was demoncracy that won the victory, not autocracy. The allied line was restored and held fast. That ig the summing up of the whole Picardy offensive. Von Hindenbure’s: failure at — St. Quentin demonstrates. how: >madly conceived was his-entire plan of cam: paign. In sober truth, Von Hinden- burg’s:objectives: were secondary, pur- pokes with him, To:break the allied line; sto.seach. Amiens; ..to...capture; - Ypres; to advance: to Dunkirk, Calais and Bologie and <éminate the channel coast—all these were given as the|- dominant reasons for the costly offen- sive, and were believed ‘to be such by the German people. But they weren’t the ‘dominant reasons. . They: were: only one dominant reason. ‘Von Hindenburg started his western advance solely because he had thrust under hia’ entrol a sudden ‘abundance ot’ German ‘soldiers ue ie from:the:Russian front: IT. INTORICATION ‘OF THE GERMAN BLOOD LUST, due to the fresh can- non fodder that moved Von Hinden- iirg to order the butchery of the Pic- ardy plains. Every offengtve’ must have’ its for- mal objectives; but the appetite for slaughter that has dominated leaders of. the Von Hindenburg type through- out history, always ,finds self-decep- tive objectives when there are soldiers enough to be sacrificed: “Von Hindénburg: chose to challenge the allies to a test of sheer, slaying. The yest. was incidental. Of his ostensibly proclaimed ob- Jectives, Von Hindenburg won the first and by far the most irhport- | ‘ant at St. uentQin, but he didn’t know what to do with it.” He knew how. to siaughter.-his own troops, but not tow to take advantage of a break in the’ en. emy’s front. / c No more damning fact has ever. overwhelmed a military leader's reputation, If it so happens that Von Hinden- Wurg éaptures Ypres, or even Amiens, or. should his tactics’ of slaughter fin- ally carry him to the channel, he will be unable to use these successes to achieve victory. He has not’ the cap- acity for it. 7 That conclusion Von * Hindenburg Ss tieebate half of the:west front offensive? It looks, fohenzollerns don’t .want poor, precious Willie to: be associated with another stupendous defeat, following’so soon after “Since man, power. {s.to. prove, the ultimate source of Victory, it is far better for the allies that Von Hinden- the’ allies themselves, take .that: posi- tion before the American armies have received their full’ strength.in France. Non Hindenburg’s ‘incapactty.. to ‘make use of his advantages has been so. conclusively shown that continug- ition of his attacks means no‘ more at ‘most’ than the temporary relinquish: mént.of a. few additional’ miles French territory in exchange for still more appalling German casualties. It. is ‘an. exchange that Germany. should not -have started and cannot: afford to continue. If the- positions ‘were reversed, even France could not. make a similar exchange and. retain any assurance of preserving enough ‘of’her own virile manhood to start the French nation going again when the war is oven. ‘Most of. the German casualties in Picardy and Flanders this spring have the British casualties have also ‘been heavy; but Great! Britain has lost far Jess men in the war than has Germany Harden Defends Prince Lichnowsky Maximilian Harden has:come:to the defense of ‘Prince Lichnowsky Ger- man ambassador to Great Britain in 1914, who recently bared negotiations Justiprior to the outbreak of war show- ing), the German ‘responsibility and who said: “The German government; deliberately destroyed the’ possibility of a peaceful settlement.” ey Harden says: ‘To such 4 pass haz the German national conscieneé been reduced that today one hears not 2 ‘word-of homage to ‘the generous inten: tions of a prince (Lichnowsky) who entered the fists in defense of demo- crac; Ys he might “hold one’s ‘peace in: sf- lent contempt but:for the fact that af ter three and one half years of war the Reichstag, still turning a deaf ear to every appeal for a thorough and independent research into the origin of the’ war, continues. to’ believe through thick and thin in‘ the legend ofa perfidious aggression against Germany, and to bang the door in the fade of anybody’ who has the courage to throw doubt on it. “The august party leaders vent thir. spite on the author of memoirs which were indiscreetély published’and pass- ed as. catteaband to foreign countries, They treat “him (Lichnowcky) as though he were a maniac, an idiot, as their grandfathers treated Bismarck when he had not yet reached his fully demonstrated at St. Quentin. eye burg remain on the offensive than that |* of}: -| store away for. winter use.
