And everywhere under that steady pressure by superior forces with su- perior artillery the weaker are falling back slowly on the west, where trench warfare is most highly perfected and rapidly in the east, where the war is fought on longer lines and more in the open. But always the Teutons grow weaker and always the strength of their cnemy increases as new fac- tories are built and new armies formed There may be one more German offensive on the eastern front at a moment that seems propitious to the gereral staff but that will be the end. From that time on, unless all signs fail, there will be a hopeless fight that means, if long continued, national weakness in man power grown to an alarming degree. an Herr Professor (From the New York Evening Post.) Another German professor comes pat to the front to show that the ideas with which the war began are not extinot in German universities. Tt | is Prof. von Stengel, of the chalr of international law in the University of Munich, who has made a reply to a letter of inquiry from the Dutch Pacifist league which is in the fine old style. “The nations, and es- ally the neutral nations,” he ites, “have only one means of lead- ing a profitable existence. It is to sub- mit to our guidance, which is super- ior from every point of view.” And as if to make his attitude as offen- sive as possible, Prof. von Stengel adds: “The whole of the war up | to the present has shown that we Ger- mans have been chosen by Provi- dence from among all the other peoples to march at the head of all civilized nations and lead them under our protection toward assured For we not only have the power and force necessary for this mission, but Redivivus, course to the highest degree, and in all crea- tion it is we who constitute the crown of civilization.” The absurb self-complacency this beats the most ridiculous Amer- ican highfalutin out of sight.
