Russia never gave us any thanks for this, and it did us in- finite harm with Japan, She naturally could not understand what interest we had in weaken ing her position. The ultimatum handed to us by the Japanese government In Au- gust, 1914, is said to have corre- sponded word for word with our ultimatum of 1895, We spoke of that time of the restoration of Port Arthur; now Japan spoke of the restoration of Kiaochau.

In the autumn of 1914 and the winter of 191415 general headquar. ters had raised from 18 to 20 new divisions. out gf the Landwehr and Landsturm formations, We began by reducing the number of battalions in a di vision from twelve to nine, and form- ing fresh divixions out of the bat talions thus liberated, allotting special arma. tho in many directions we did not do enough AUSTRIA NOT UNDER CONTROL The Austrian army was not, at the beginning of the war, a first-class fighting instrument. Had we really entertained aggressive intentions be fore the war, we would have insisted on Austria-Hungary's improving her armaments, Her railway commun! cations, which were totally inade quate, would also have been extend ed. Our neglect in that reapect was, in any case, & great mistake. triple alliance wi only @ political union, while the Franco-Russian al lance was of a definitely military character, and this constituted a great advantage to our enemies. Even our arrangements with Aus. tria-Hungary in the event of a joint Jeneral Count von Schileffen always feared a breach of faith, which indeed actu ally occurred. A scheme of mutual operations existed only in the rough- eat outlines. Tho deployment of the Auntro- Hungarian armies on the further side of the river San was justified only if they felt themselves superior to the Russian army without out- side help, as many Austro-Hungar- fan officers believed, or tf we could cross the river Narew simultineous- ly with strong forces. But this we were not in a position to do, ax the last army bill had not granted us the three extra army corps for which the general staff had hoped. CONDEMNS ITALY'S: WAR ACTS Farther, we now had also to make up on the Western front for Italy's defaication, According to former military engagements with Italy, three Italian army corps and two cavalry divisions were to help in Al- sace, whilst the main body of the army, minus the coast defense forces, were to be assembled on the Franco-Italian frontier. Simultane- ously, the fleet was to endeavor to cut France off from her colonies in North Africa. These arrangements were in force for some time—but subsequently Then at the express wish of General Pollio, chief of the Italian general staff, these plans were once more worked at. General Pollio died in the summer of 1914—shortly before the outbreak of war. There was not the least ne- cessity for France to leave even a single soldier on her southeast frontier; she could employ every sol- dier against us, for she knew per- fectly well that Italy would not come into the war on our side. Our former ally thus did us untold harm Her attitude toward England was not to be misunderstood. Ant mosity certainly existed between Italy and Austria-Hungary, but al- tho this was of long standing, it did not prevent Italy entering into an alliance with us and Austria-Hun- wary. This alliance brought Italy many advantages, and we naturally expected that she would feel under an obligation to us, A healthy national egoism is easy to understand, and is found in every nation, But there are certain ethical laws which must not be violated, and that is precisely what Italy did, So she cannot complain of the ad- verse criticism we leveled at her during the four years of war. AUSTRIANS NEAR ANNI WATION The Eighth army at this time could quite easily have sent some corps to the Western front, I do not know whether the idea was ever consid- ered by general headquarters, or whether the situation of the Austro- Hungarian army made it out of the question. The latter, as IT now realized, was unfortunately retreating, completely defeated, across the San with terrible losses. The Russians were following them up. A Russian invasion of Mo- ravia and then Upper Silesia seemed possible. The Austro-Hungarian army would have to be supported if it were not to be annihilated. An advance of the Eighth army | traditions We formed new divisions | to} | tach its complement of artillery and} We did a great deal, The! | | | | details. ‘A Grouping of 33 SILK AND 115 CLOTH DRESSES SPECIALLY PRICED At $19.50 Formerly Priced Much Higher Consisting of odd dresses and discontinued models in which bet- ter workmanship and finish are salient features A fine quality of serge and jersey is used in developing the wool dresses, and soft, lustrous satin and taffeta fashion the silk models.

We were not able to reinforce the Western front. In the instructions which I re- ceived at Insterburg on the evening of the Ith it was stated that two corps of the Eighth army were to form the Southern army in Upper Silesia. This looked like nothing more than a defensive measure; at any rate, it would be quite inade- quate to restore the situation in Galicia, We had not merely to hold the enemy in check; we had to act. Accordingly, in a conversation over the telephone, I suggested, both to general headquarters and General von Moltke himself, that the whole of the Eighth army should be sent to Upper Silesia and Posen under General von Hindenburg, who had Just been put in command. INSISTED ON STRONGER FORTS In spite of the danger that Russia would bring up fresh forces in a further attempt to invade the unfor- tunate province of East Prussia, only weak forces should be left for ita protection. I certainly hoped that such an invasion was a long way off. Even during the operations arrange- ments had been made to strengthen and extend the defenses of Lotzen and the lakes. We not only insisted that a scheme should be drawn up, but that the work should be put in hand at once. The Angerapp line was also to be NAME “BAYER” ON GENUINE ASPIRIN Get relief without fear as told in “Bayer package” The “Bayer Cross” on Aspirin tablets has the same meaning as 14 Karat on gold. Both mean Gen- uine! “Bayer Tablets of Aspirin” should be taken according to the safe and proper directions in each “Bayer” package. Be sure the “Bayer Cross” is on package and on tablets. Then you are getting the genuine Aspirin prescribed by physiclans for over eighteen years for the relief of Colds, Pain, Head- ache, Toothache, Earache, Rheuma- tism, Lumbago, Neuritis. , For a few cents you can get a handy tin box containing twelve tablets, Druggists also sell larger “Bayer” packages. Aspirin is. the trade mark of Bayer Manufacture of Monoaceticacidester of Salicylic- acid, fortified. These measures were the effect of the altered situation, and subsequently proved to have been thoroly justified. General von Moltke promised that my suggestion should be considered, and gave me a short account of the sudden change in the situation on the Western front. Up to that time we had only heard rumors of it. General von Moltke was deeply moved by the state of affairs in the West, That was my last official conver- sation with this remarkable man. He had a keen grip of military affairs, and could handle a great plan of campaign with extraordinary mas- tery. But he lacked vigor and his inclinations were more pacifist than warlike. I can recall many of my interviews with him. At the ning of the war his health had mn seriously affected by two cures at Carlsbad, which he underwent within a period of a few months. At this time the war minister, General von Falkenhayn, began to direct operations. HINDENBURG USED HIS PLANS On the evening of September 14 1 took leave of General von Hinden- burg and of my comrades. I did not find it easy to leave the com- mander-in-chief and the staff after two victorious battles. General von Hindenburg had al- ways agreed to my suggestions, and gladly accepted the responsibility of consenting to them. A fine sense of confidence had grown up between us—the confi- dence of men who think alike. Among the staff there was complete unanimity of view in all military matters. I left Insterburg on the morning of September 15, traveling by car nd Thorn to Bres- ion. I knew abso- lutely nothing about my new sphere of action. It seemed to me more limited than my previous one, but I soon found that I had a great and important field for my activities. The journey to Breslau was not exactly cheerful. I went thru Allen- stein and had dinner at the same hotel in which I had lived. Life had already resumed its old course as in times of peace. I was in Graudenz by the afternoon, and traveled thru wind and rain, via Bromberg, to Posen, where I arrived in pitch darkness and spent the night. I was connected in many ways with the province and town of Posen. My father, who was descended from & family of Pomeranian merchants, lived there until after the Franco- Prussian war of 1870-1871. I myself had been stationed at Posen, and was glad to see it again. I was there from 1902 until 1904, as senior staff officer of the corps command of the Fifth corps. While holding this position (and also my previous one of senior staff officer of the Ninth division at Glo- gau) I had an opportunity of seeing the difficulties that-surround the ad- ministration of. this province. \I had heen in the district of Jarotchin and Pleschen for mancuvera, NTMI TTT MMM Me NSN Poland has shown us no gt for what we have done for Those who had repeatedly Germany against her p were quite right.
