An offi cial di.ipatch from France says: Before making th-?Ir lat trip to rerlin. Hind-rburg and L.udendorff trade certain statements to the news- psper correspondents attached to great headquarter. fills interview probably had a dmble purpose that of encouraging public opinion and of bringing; pressure to bear upon the adversary by the urual Crman bluff." Tha dispatch comment says of tha Interviews: 'Beneath the apparent confidence that their words convey ona can de tect anxiety on the part of these two ral heads of the Uerman nation. They know that on the West they will come up against tha victorious will of the gteat democracies of the world, more formidably armed and determined than eter. Hindenburg could never achieve auccesa except on Ihe east front. He haa always bad great fear of the dis illusion which the west haa In reserve for him. However, tt Is possible that tha Germans are carefully concealing their Mans In tba hope of deceiving their adversaries and unsettlng public opin ion, but whatever happens tha alllra are prepared and nothing can surprise mem. klldlah Vanity Appareat.

"Placusaing the events In the Kast. Hindenburg declared: The chain which waa to bind us is from henceforth broken. We can now employ all our forces In the west. It is bsolutely necessary for ua o procure security on our frontiers so that we hall not see repeated the lamentable vents which marked the beginning of the Autumn of ISM.' "It la to be noted that German opin ion does not realise the exact extent he success obtained In the east, be- cauno the people are looking today owards the west. Hindenburg said regsrdtng this: Things are always the same, peo ple never appreciate at their Just value he resullsalready obtained.' Then they proceeded to speak of events that are imminent in the west. With ths Insolence of a Uerman troop er, tho commander of the German armlea, who. alnce the battle of the Marne, haa met with defeat in every encounter with the French, said: 'France has dug her own grave. She is entirely under the rule of Kngland. If tha French treated less harshly our poor war prisoners ona would have more pity for tba unhappy fate of their country.' Severe Off east ve Predicted. " "Ludendorff added: "'We can now pass to the offensive In the west. If this offensive Is made it will be very severe. It must be taken Into account that tha enemy haa at Its disposal a strong reserve of many divisions, and that It possesses a fine network of railways for trans porting renerveo at a point where they tre considered necessary. But one must not overlook the moral factor. We are full of confidence, and we re main persuaded that the fight In which we are to engage will end happily for ua.' "Lundendorff added that It was of Inestimable value to Germany to pos sess such a General as Hindenburg. The Marshal Interrupted him and ob served Srhat la essential Is the good morale of the German soldiers. It Is to them thst we owe our victory.
