ALLIES' STRATEGY IS
FAILURE, SAYS FOE
'Wearing-Out' Tactics Are De
clared Worse for Attacker .
Than for Defender.-
GERMANY HELD UNSHAKEN
"Systematic Pressure" Has Turted
Teuton Morale, Instead of Low- '
ering It, Says Critic Answer
ing Joffre and Halg.
BERLIN. Oct.. 13. (By wireless to
8ayville,N.-Y.) In answer to the views
of Generals Joffre and Haig as to the
result of the Anlo-French offensive
on the Somme and also in reviewing the
situation on other fronts, the military
critic of the Overseas News Agency, a
semi-official bureau, writes:
"Just as General Joffre did. General
Haig now feels obliged to strike a bal
ance of the Somme battle. In it the
British commander takes a view curi
ously opposite to that, taken by . the
Krench commander, who considers the
gain of terrain as the main result.
"The British General says: 'The un
interrupted systematic pressure of the
entente armies finally must exhaust
the morale and material forces of the
central powers, especially as to the ex
isting reserves of war material." This
so-called strategy of wearing out their
opponents, through which a great de
cision of the war was expected, how
ever, has accomplished very little, as
proved by the great successes of the
central powers, who still have such
forces at their disposal that" they are
able to carry out their offense. Thus
it is evident that their reserves cannot
be exhausted, but rather there must
still exist an abundance of forces.
Morale Declared Uplifted.
"The glorious victories by these
troops in the Balkans and in Transyl
vania after the heavy fighting on the
Somme and in Galicia, further proves
that their morale cannot have been
lowered by 'systematic pressure," but
rather must have been uplifted.
"That German troops cannot take the
offensive when other troops take the
offensive In other war theaters simul
taneously must be self-evident to every
one who knows the extension of the
fronts on which Germany fights today.
While the English front is only 13S
kilometers long and the ' French 630
kilometers. Germany fights on a front
of 1700 kilometers.
"But in the Balkans war theater,
where, according to the unanimous dec
laration of the entente, the decision
muse be reached, the central powers
victoriously have gained the initiative.
There they dictate the law of action
to their enemies. The plan of the en
tente in the Balkans failed completely,
in spite of Roumania's entrance into
the war.
"Roumania. which was expected to
bring a decision for the Entente, rather
is a brake on their progress and of no
advantage, especially since the Kusslai
armies at present, by reason of the
complete failure of their offensive in
Galicia. in which they suffered enor
mous losses, are debilitated to such a
degree that they are obliged for the
time being to leave Roumania to her
fate
Force Declared Unshaken.
"The entente repeats from time to
time the assertion that Germany Is
exhausted, but 'this claim is merely
empty words and advertising in order
to impress neutrals and to stimulate
their own nations and armies. The vic
torious defense in the east and west
and the energetic offensive of the cen
tral powers in Transylvania and the
Balkans prove better than words the
fact that the forces and military supe
riority of the central pevers are un
shaken. "England hoped to wear out the
German forces by the present offensive
on the Somme.. but this can now be
considered a failure. It Is the ag
gressor who will be worn out more
than the defender. .The sanguinary
figures published recently by the Lon
don Daily Mail speak a language that
ought to be grave and impressive for
Great Britain. Besides, these figures
do not contain all the extraordinarily
heavy losses suffered during the last
three weeks by the British and French
in a most terrific battle on the Eomroe.
The wearing out of regiments is a
source of serious care, not only for
France, which is bled to death al
. ready, but also for England, which un
til now has boasted of its inexhaustible
reserves. The Times raises a warning
voice:
" 'How little the entente has suc
ceeded in exhausting the morale and
material forces of Germany by "unin
terrupted systematic pressure" and
how little German confidence In vic
tory has been shaken was proved also
bv the splendid result of the last war
loan. These 10,500.000,000 marks tell
the whole world that Germanyi is fully
decided and will carry out the war to
a victorious end." "

MILLIONS SEEK GLI1UIER OF
PEACE.
LONDON. Oq,t. . 13. The most
interesting speech at Wednes
day's sitting of the Reichstag
was that of the Socialist. Herr
Scheldermann. who, according to
reports published in the Lokal
Anzeiger and the Tagesblatt and
forwarded here in another dis
patch from Amsterdam, said:
"We declare openly and clearly
that the nation wants peace. All
the nations have had enough of
being lured to destruction by
fresh and brilliant promises."
According to the Koelnische
Volks Zeitung, Hugo Haase, the
Radical Socialist, said:
"Millions are looking to the
Reichstag for a glimmer of
peace. We see everywhere an
undecided battle. Wa wish to
save what is possible from the
wreck of international law. Our
dream of domination In this war
will never be realized. An agree
ment must be sought without
hesitation In order to save tha
people from the worst." .
BERLIN, by wireless toSayvllle. Oct.
13. In his speech In tha Reichstag.
Wednesday. Dr. David, the Socialist
leader, said:
"The chances for peace at this mo
ment are small. Our enemies want an
'immature' peace before the annihila
tion of Germany. Unrestricted submar
ine warfare, however, will not hasten
the advent of peace, but will further
prolong the war.
"We understand German Indignation
against the British policy of starva
tion and against the British plan of
warfare after the conclusion of peace.
England invariably pretends that Ger
many was glad to go to war. Therefore
the events of the final 13 critical days
cannot be described too often.
Peace Thrones Understanding.
"On July 30, 1914. the world thought
that It again could breathe- in peace.
Sir Edward Grey and Prince Lich
nowskl, German Ambassador to Great
Britain. had. with tha assent of the
Russian Ambassador at London, found
the formula for an understanding thus:
'If the Austrian advance against Bel
grade is stopped the powers shall ex
amine in what manner Serbia can sat
isfy Austria's demand without compro
mising our foreign rights and ' inde
pendence.' "On the 'same day our Chancellor
telegraphed our Ambassador at Vienna,
advocating a direct conversation be
tween Vienna and St. Petersburg and
declaring that Germany would decline
to be drawn into the world war if her
suggestion were not heeded by Austro
Hungary. Vienna simultaneously ac
cepted the formula of the understand
ing. .
"This was the situation upon which
the news of the Russian mobilization
fell- England's guilt is thus an unsent
telegram to St. Petersburg similar to
that from Berlin to Vienna on July 30.
Russia was sure that England would
follow her."
"Inner Discord Impossible."
. Dr. David Insisted that peace would
come as soon as Germany's enemies
understood the impossibility of anni
hilating her. Pointing out that not all
Englishmen share the tfiews of Walter
Runciman. president pf the Board of
Trade, and others who, he said, preach
a war of annihilation and war after the
end of the war. Dr. David emphatic
ally repudiated the idea that Germany
could be conquered by inner discord and
indiscretion.
"Ours is a war of defense," he con
tinued. "This binds us all together.
We wish the re-establlshment of inde
pendent Belgium; that of a Belgium in
dependent from Great Britain and
France.
"We did not enter the war with In
tentions of conquest. We reassured
England that we would not attack the
north coast of France. It probably is
unknown in England that a telegram
went from the German Emperor to the
King of England which confirmed
Prince Liohnowsky s assurance. M.
Jaures (the late Socialist leader In the
French Chamber of Deputies) urged the
French ministers before the - outbreak
of the war to bring pressure upon
Russia in order to avoid hostilities.
I maintain the policy for which Jaures
died. Our enemies are guilty of con
tinulnar. the war.
"We hold that wr1i no adequate
means of deciding disputes between
nations,' continued Dr. David. W
are persuaded that legal forms must be
created In order to dispose of such dif
ferences. Slandering reports have
been circulated abroad, that Germany
declines such legal forms. We there
fore greeted with Joyful shouts the
Chancellor's Indorsement In his last
speech of the idea of arbitration. If
all civilized humanity shall adopt these
views, wars like the present one will
be avoided and we can say in truth
peace on earth .
REICHSTAG DISCUSSION HIGH
Best Speakers and Recognized Lead
ers Join in Debate on War.
BERLIN. Oct." 13. German newspaper
comment on the debate In the Reich
stag alludes to the faot that all the
parties put forward their recognized
leader and their best speakers, placing
tho discussion on a high level.
Summarizing the comment upon the
remarks of Herr Naumann. the Radical
leader, and Dr. David, tho Socialist
leader, regarding the origin of tha war,
the Overseas News Agency says:
Both these members recalled how. on July
80, 1914. the atmosphere seemed to be
cleared by the understanding- reached fln
London between Foreign Secretary Grey and
the German Ambassador, Prince Uehnowskl,
with the assent of the Russian Ambassador.
A further step toward the maintenance of
peace was taken when the German Chan
cellor obtained from Austria.Hungary an
acceptance of this programme. But tt is
pointed out all this work was undone by
the Russian mobilisation, which could have
been prevented with great ease. It Great
Britain had acted toward Russia In the
same manner as Germany did toward Austria-Hungary
then the world war would
have been avoided. Since Great Britain
undid thin work and alnce tha Russian war
party, therefore, felt Itself supported by
Eneland. war became unavoidable.
The newspapers unanimously agree that
th'j facta thus stated settle the question
of moral guilt.

LONDON. Oct. IS. The Times pub

by the Kins of Roumania, in which the
monarch appealea to the allies not to
permit his country to suffer the- fate
of Serbia and Belgium.
"The Roumanians will not falter."
the Kins said. "In their alleg-lance to

them from their faith in their allies.
Yet the Roumanians pray that. In spite
of their existing; exigencies and their
own huge problems, the allies will not

has staked her all In this conflict, to
pass Into the back of their minds and
to suffer to such an extent that she
may meet the fate of either Belgium
or Serbia."
