I CHAPTER X. THE BEGINNING OF THE END. Not satisfied with continuing his full support to the man he had picked out from the very first months of the war, M. Clemenceau continues his effort to increase this man's au- thority. On June 26 he decides that the right given at Beauvais to the allied commanders-in-chief to appeal to their governments shall be abol- ished as far as the French armies are concerned. and that their com- mander-in-chief shall be purely and lsixnply placed under the orders of Gen. Foch. On June 30, complying with a_desire frequently and force- fully expressed by the Jatter, he r- moves the chief of staff of the French arm and appoints Gen. Buat to this post.

Tardieu's intimate relatio 6f the fuside history of the w: brings him today to the point where he begins a disclosure of what actually took place be- hind the German lines just be- fore the request was made for an armistice. Thix is not hear- say. M. Tardleu quotes the very words of Ludendorft and H denburg and—the, kaiser him- self. The narrative yesterday led down to the remarkable de- fense of Marshal Fock by Clem- enceau during the dark days of May, 1918. The French premier, detying his critic: to demand an ex Foch, part of Germany. This was clear at the time it was signed, in the minds of those who imposed it and of those upon whom it was forced. It was the logical outcome of the military. and 1 history of the four preceding In the first week of July, 1918, Ad- | miral von Hintze—appointed by the kaiser-to be secretary of state in the imperial office of foreign affairs— wishing to be accurately informed as to the military situation before tak- ing up his duties, left for the front. At Avesnes he met Gen. Luden- dorft and asked him: n the present offensive are you certain to defeat the enemy com- pletely and decisively?” Gen. Ludendorff replied without hes- itatio | “My answer to ungualified ‘Yes.' At that moment everything seemed to justify the assurance of the first quartermaster general of the German army. In March a lightning stroke had broken Gen. Gough's army and thrown the allies back to the gates of Amiens. In May another push had broken the French line at the Chemin |des Dames and carried the enemy to the banks of the Marne. The bom- bardment of Paris was the visible sign_of German victory. Thousands of British and French prisoners, to isay nothing of enormous stores of !war material, had been captured. The German high command was busy cir- culating among its troops that this ‘was the final offensive, “the peace offensiv The enemy was power- fully equipped for it—1.436 battallon: more than in 1916—made up a total of 207 divisions. Of these 20 divisions 130 were in line and reserve. Of the latter, only t recently withdrawn from battle need ed refilling. Twenty-six had been re- inforced and thirty-one were fresh. The Reims Offen: Before dawn on July 15 the offen- sive was launched in the direction of Rheims. By the 17th it had been halted between our first and second lines. On the 18th the armies of Mangin and_Degoutte counter-attacked on German flank. On the 13th the en- ¢ recrossed the Marne. By August 4 had been thrust over the Vesle. On the §th, farther north near Amiens, three German divisions withdrew in disorder, almast routed before the al- lied attack began. Note well these ents. They mark the beginnings of victory and armistice. On August 13 a numerous company arrives at German general headquar- ters at Spa. Besides the kaiser, there are gathered there the crown prince, Field Marshal von Hindenburg and n. Ludendorff, Count von Hertling, chancellor of the empire, and Admiral von Hintze, minister for foreign af- fairs. On the following evening the Emperor of Austria and his mipister, Count Bufian, arrive. A crown coun- cil is to be held on the 14th. Late on the 13th von Hintze takes Gen. von Ludendorff aside and gquestions him as he had done a month before on the general situation. Lndendorft vour question is an 1y I told you that I was cer- tain by the present offensive of break- ing the enemy's will to fight and of forcing them to make peace. Now I am no longer certain of thi: 'War to Force Peace. “In that case,” asks the minister, how do vou imagine the war can be continued?” We are still able by defensive op- erations to paralyze the enemy's will to fight and thus bring them little by little to make peace. In a word, instead of the crushing triumph counted upon in July, the erman high command now pins its hope of success on the weariness of the allies. The crown council meets the next day and Gen. Ludendorff voices the same attenuated hope. major offensive,” he declares, “is no longer po: We must confine ourselves to “strategy The Hupmobile is counted on to save time, inconvenience and actual expense for its owners.
