A Ocrufcn oRlcer of high RtandlnK told me JiiMt tM-fore I left Berlin that America had mude the great mlntiike of wndliiR ammunition, icuna and up Iillea to HuxhIh, via Jiipuo, bwaune jnpHo had Just retained the finely mude Amerliun artlclM and bad dumped on Ruaala a lot of good-for-notlilnK miiterlul of her own In their place. "My advice to America," be de clared, "I to cut the throat of every Jnpnneae In America and Ret rid of the Internal dunger." He did not ug KeHt cutting the throat of all the un desirable German who were la Amer ica and who had already demonatrated that they were fur more dangerous than the Jupanexe had ever been. CHAPTER VIII. The Klr Confidence of Victory. 'About twelve year ago I attended the German military maneuver at Llegnltz, In HlleBla, having been In vited by aome journnllHtlc friend of mine to accompany them in the motor allowed the pre. The military repre aentutlvea of England, France, Amer ica and other countries were there with the k iilner's stuff to wltneH the diNplay of Germany' military power. Apparently they were very much lm pressed, for I heard afterward that one of the French olllt'er who had been prexent hud written a book In which he said : "With such an army, Germany could annex Frunce In sis month I" I happened to mention this fact to the kaiser shortly afterwards and bl significant comment was: "Hlz months I I should hope so. It wouldn't take that longl" The confident belief that when "Der Tag" "the day" finally arrived, Gei muny would crush her enemies and ac complish ber object within a few months at the outside was held not only by the kaiser but by the people generally and their conduct when the war broke out cleurly disclosed it. When Germany' mun power wa mobilized, no one In Germany believed It would be very long before they would all be back and every effort was made to make their few week of ac tive service a little Irksome a pos sible. "Llebesgaben," gifts of love, consisting of clothing and food of every description, were forwarded to them by their relatives and friends In the most lavish manner, although, of course, at that time the German com missary was able to satisfy all the sol diers' requirement. One of my patient told me that she had sent seventeen hundred pounds of sausages to one regiment within a week, ond when I asked her why she bad been so generous she replied that her chauffeur was a member of the regiment 1 The extent to which the country' resources were squandered In those early months 1 evidenced by the fact that the soldiers had such an excess of 111-Qttlng woolen wearing apparel that they used many of the knitted ar ticles as earpieces and covers for their horses. No one bad the slightest Idea that the time might come when the whole nation would be clothed in pa perl At this late day It can hardly be necessary to establish how thoroughly prepared the Germans were for the war. but an incident which occurred In the early days of the conflict may not be out of place to show the self-satisfied and confident attitude which all the Germans assumed. Two officers sitting at a table In an out-of-door cafe shortly after the war began overheard one of several ladles who were passing remark: "Look at those officers sitting there drinking. Why are they not at the front fight lngr One of the officers got up and, approaching the ladles, sold : "Our work was completed months ago. We worked from early morning till lute at night on pluns which our armies are! now carrying out It Is our time to rest" The resistance that France would be able to put up was always very lightly estimated, and If the Intervention of England was at all taken Into consid eration, the comparatively small army she could place In the field was re garded as but a drop In the bucket com pared with the well-trained German horde that was ready to sweep across the border. How could England's 80,000 men cope with Von Kluck' 500,000 or the hastily mobilized French armies re sist the thoroughly prepared, equipped and well-dlsclpltned German warriors? It Is really not to be wondered at that the Germans firmly believed that they would bring the allies to their knees within a comparatively few weeks and that the conquering Ger man armies would celebrate Sedan day, September 2, In Paris. What ac tually happened Is, of course, too well known here to require recital, but I know that the Germuns were kept In absolute Ignorance of the marvelous resistance the allies were able to put up in those critical days of August and September, 1914, and to this day the majority of Germans have not heard of the battle of the Marne 1 Just after the. English E2ssdthejx II BIG I conscription law I was called to see the kaiser at the great army headquar ters, which at that time were at l'less. Although the war had then lasted two or three time a long a the German had expected, the kaiser masked tb depression be must have felt by put ting on a bold front "How foolish for England to start conscription now," be declared. "She think she can accomplish In a few month what it ha taken Germany hundred years to attain. Armies and officers cannot be developed over night We have never stopped preparing sine the day of Frederick the Great I" "Ye, your majesty, but the North ern state In our Civil war put In con crlptlon two year after the begin ning of the war," I suggested. "But just look how long your war lasted," the kaiser replied quickly. "This war won't last that long. Tb allies will feel what the power of Ger many Is long before English conscrip tion can avail them anything r "And while England is slowly build-1 Ing up ber Insignificant army," the kaiser went on, "she will see America's navy and merchant marine constantly growing and the dollar replacing the pound a the unit of the world' finance. No, Davis, England will soon be sick of the war and will look with fear upon America' growing power V The French army, too, was generally belittled, and the Russians were be lieved to be absolutely negligible. The French army was so poorly equipped. It was pointed out, that the officer had to go to the field In patent-leather boots, and on the Russian front, only the first-line men had guns, the others being armed with clubs! Eventuully, officer and soldier re turning from the western front on fur lough or passing through the country en route from one front to the other brought the report of the defeat before Purls. Soldier who participated In that disastrous retreat wrote from the new trenches to their friends and rel ative telling of the terrible experi ence they bad undergone, when they went for days with nothing to eat but raw potatoes and turnip which they picked from the field. When these report finally spread through Germany the people began to realise that their generals in the west were not meeting with the same success that Von Hlndenburg bad had in the east and Von Hlndenburg became the Idol of the people Immediately, a fact that was very distasteful to the high command. The kaiser's dislike of Von Hlnden burg was of long standing. He had never forgiven that general for the mis take be made during military maneuv ers In peace time when by a brilliant stroke of strategy he had succeeded in capturing the kaiser's forces. Including the kaiser and his whole staff I I have referred In a previous chapter to the kaiser's unbounded confidence after the Italian collapse In 1917. "Now, we've got the allies!" he ex claimed, with an air of conclusiveness which emphasized the optimism he displayed. After the capture of Roumania, be exhibited a similar degree of exulta tion. He believed that in that achieve ment he had successfully solved the food problem the one cloud which constantly darkened the kaiser's hori zon. "Now the aUles will never succeed In starving us," he said to me in my or- flee shortly after the Roumanian drive, i "With Roumania In our pockets and Servla already ours, their wonderful agricultural possibilities will supply our food needs and foil our enemies' efforts to starve us. Indeed, they had better look out for themselves. Don't Jforget we have a monopoly on the potash mines of the world. Without proper fertilization, American crops will go on decreasing and decreasing and they won't get any potash until we get ready to let them have It I" The failure of the Zeppelins from a military standpoint was undoubtedly a , great disappointment to the German people at large, who had counted so I much upon them to bring disaster to England, but it cannot be said that the kulser shared their chagrin. On tha contrary, I have reason to believe that he never expected very much from that ; arm of his military force except as it might be useful to terrorize the civil population. A day or two after Zeppelin's death, In 1917, a patient of mine, a lady, hap pened to remark that it was too bad. that the count had not lived to see tne triumph of his Invention, and when I saw the kaiser shortly afterwards I repeated her remark to see what he would say. "I am convinced that tho count lived long enough to see all that the Zep pelins were capable of accomplishing," was his only comment. It recalled the answer he had given me some years before when both Zeppelins and air planes were In their Infancy and I had asked him which held the greater promise. "We do not know. Time alone will tell," was his reply. The last time I conversed with the kaiser was on November 26, 1917. Up to that time we had sent over 169,000 troops, according to the figures which hjjxe, since been, revealed, by. ScrsLtary (To be continued) - Open for Business.
