KERR’S FLAX-SEED | |l0NG WAR PREDICTED BY VON FALKENHAYN German Chief of Staif Says I Sheuld Last indefinite.y. | | | General Field Headquarters of the German Armies (in France), Jan. 16, via London, Jun. 19. More of such offensive’ (referring to the preseunt offensive operations in the campaign of the allies) *‘can only be welcome | to us “The British are good fighters, but an army without the necessary offi- cers and non-commissioned officers ly an army.” We are fully prepared for any tempt at a landing in Belgium; sooner it comes the better.” Full of Optimism. These are some of the phrases, full of quiet optimism, of Lieutenent General Erich von TFalkenhayn, the German minister of war and chief of staff of German armies in the fleld, who today received the Associated Press in the first interview given to any correspondent. The general talked frankly of the present military situation and the prospects of the war, which he e dently does not expect will be a short. one: at- the Responsible for Strategy. General von Falkenhayn is the man responsible under the emperor for the strategy in the great world war. He is a comparatively young man, as commanders go—the young- est of any of the leaders of the Euro- pean armies, with a tremendous ca- pacity for hard, concentrated work necessary for the control of the great apparatus of the German armies. He is at his desk in an old French gov- ernment building which houses the German general staff from dawn un- til late at night, and an unbroken stream of officers, with reports and plans calling for his decision flows in and out of the little, square confer- ence room, with its table loaded with maps, all day long. He performs the dual functions of minister of war and chief of the gen- eral staff, and has little time for ex- ercise or recreation. He sleeps at headquarters with his hand, as it were, on the throttle of the big ma- chine, and yét his slender flgure i§as erect, his manner almost as elastic and vigorous, as the day when he flashed into public notice with his defense of the German army in the Zabern debates in the Reichstag. No War of Aggression. “This war is not a war of aggres- sion.” said General Falkenhayn, tak- ing up the causes of the war; ‘“not a war brought about by a ‘military caste or military party’ in Germany, but one of self-defense. As a soldier I cannot talk, of course, on the politi- cal aspects or causes of the war, but can speak from a military stand- point. “It was forced upon us by the Rus- sian mobilization, in the face of which we could do nothing else but arm ourselves. Russia had been ad- vised and warned by his majesty and through our ambassador that if she mobilized we must, in self-defense, order a general mobilization and take to protect our Russia, never- ahead with its mobil continuing diplomatic national theless, went zation, while negotiations. “If a man comes into vour room for a discussion, with gun drawn, vou can scarcely be expected to wait for him to cock and level it at vou before reaching for vour own. to de- fend your life, Present Situation “Our present situation is excellent. We have no cause to complain. We have carried the war into the enemy’s country on both fronts; we are still there after five months of war. Our present lines are very strong; the ad- vantage is all on our side thus far. “If our first advance against Paris said the general in response to a ques tion, “had succeeded fully and in all respects, it would have been reckoned as a most brilllant achievement. As it stands, it is an admirable one. T can say so freely, because T had noth- ing to do with the conception of the plan of campaign. But one cannot expect to carry on war without some checks, and when we fell back, we swung over to the present line of ac- tion in which we have been thorough- ccessful, Allies’ Plan a Failure. s wrong to interpret the Excellent. ; 3 o (R O SR XIS < T ¥ eree DENONSTRATIONS ¥ | KING'S PUHEMALT Will be given all this week at | | | UREMALT The Perfect Tonlc ASK ANY DRUGGIST Flax-Seed !

On the contrary, that p of the campaign is the result of an attempt on the part of | the I'rench and British to force their way north to separate us from the sea and envelop our right flank and relieve Antwerp and oblige us to re- tire from Belgium. “Their plan was counter-stroke the operations in Flanders, not outflanked us, and there.” “What is heralded | Kitchener's | askea. 1se our the have still the failure, success, of They we are widely and | was your view of the general offensive new army?’ The Have Gained Ground, “The offensive man chief of cording to the day have its results.

We are fully prepared for any attempt in this direction; the sooner it comes, the better.” There was nothing of the boastful in General von Falkenhayn's manner. | These statements were made, instead, in a quiet tone and with assured con- | fidence in the preparedness of the German army and in ifs ability to meet the situation. Germany Has Food Enough. “What effect upon the German con- | duct of the war,’ General von Fal- kenhayn v asked “has the Brit-| ish blockade and contraband policy exercised ?"” “Practically none at all,” he replied. “Of food we have enough. Have you observed ady scarcity in German: We have have to husband certs things and be sparing with our wheat consumption, but our ‘war bread’ (re- | ferring to the bread made from the | prescribed admixture of rve and po-| tato meal to wheat flour) is quite as| tasty and nutritious as the regular | wheat bread. Presents Some Difliculties. “The problem of feeding the civil population of Belgium, Poland and the occupied narts of France, particular- 1y such cities as Lille or ILwodz, pre- sents same difficulties, but for our- selves we have enough. “As for thé embargo General [Falkenhayn laughted—“we have no copper underground, it is! true, but above ground we have mor(‘) than , enough for all military needs. | If our regular supplies become ex- hausted, we need anly draw on the enormous quantities of manufactured copper already in Germany. In our cables for transmitting high tension electricity, for instance, we have a couple of years’ supply. “British interference with shipments, it seems to me, is blow for America, but for nothing.” (General Falkenhayn orous south German “utter indifference.”) War Can Last Indefinitely. ‘“How long, your excellency, do yvou think the war may last?—Lord Kitch- ener’s three years?' “It can last,” said the German chief of staff, picking out that particular art of the question, “indefinitely far us. I see nothing that can force us to stop fighting. ““Food and materials—we are amply | supplied. Our strategic position good. Human material! Do vyau know that the recruits of the 1915 class are to be called to the colors? October 1, 1915, is the normal date. I was occupying myself with this question yesterday. Does that lock as if there is any lack of soldiers? ‘We have more troops in Berlin to- day than in peace times. They still need training, however. No men are sent to the front without ade. quate preparatian. Go On Indefinitely. “Enthusiasm ? You have been at the front and know that there is no slackening in the zeal of the men for their task.
