GER7.1ANS LOSE HOPE
SUBMARINE PtT.VER
London, Aug. 11. Germany's un
restricted U-boat warfare can. neith
er keep the arm ot the United
States from taking part in battles on
tho fields of France nor break, tho
will of the allies to continue the war.
If the admission made by th Munich
Post, a copy of which has been re
ceived here, Is to be believed. In a
review of the situation at the be
ginning of the fifth year of the war,
the Post aays:
"Eighteen months of unrestricted
submarine warfare could not break
the enemy's will to war nor prevent
America' putting a well-equipped
army of a million men on the west
ern front. Hopes that after the con
clusion of peace in the east the final
struggle In the west would be decid
ed In favor of Germany and bring a
general peace have proven deceptive
and the eastern peace Itself is a dis
appointment" , .

could not believe their ' own eyes,
rode forward to Interrogate these
poachers and were shot. The tanks
then proceeded to deal with tho
transport, which began by upsetting
itsolf In a vain effort to wheel and
fly.
, "In the direction of Peronne, far
beyond our advanced posts, the cav
alry and tanks captured part ot a
Red Cross train and burned another
train meant for troops. In the same
village Framvilcrs they charared
down a street,, shooting through the
windows at officers sitting down to
their meals.
"The alarm produced by this dash
of tanks was such that soldiers and
transports fled belter skelter back
in the direction of Nestle.

seen to be Jammed with troops and
