Major-Generals; to spur on the slack­
ers who failed to give instruction in
essential features of tactics. He
knew that his Job was not to com­
mand an Army ready made, but to
convert a stoma of raw material into
an Army, and that success hinged on
ding all officers strictly account­
able for results.
He'did not plan for war on any
small scale, for Major Palmer said
that "Hie project for our bases, our
and our lines of communi­
on tion was to provide for a million
men with expansion to two million.
His plan was to build a real Army,”
and "because we are building that
Army on sound lines” the German
staff takes it "very serious­
ly,” and the German staff’s hope is
that it may yet win a military deci­
sion before we are able to bring tull
force to beer.” Major Palmar has
no doubt that the Army will make
good, for he pronounces it "the best
most self-respecting and
orderly in conduct, the best trained
and best organised that our country
has ever had,” the improvement con­
tinues, and "our young reserve offi­
cers are making good.”

Hearty contempt is expressed for
the peesimista who my we are losing
the war, ang the Major would sen­
tence them all to "stevedoring for
Pershing in France.” "We are not
losing the war,” says he; "we are
winning the war.” The German gen­
eral staff hold power by bribing the
people with victory and by offering
"past performances as a guarantee
for the future.” He predicts that
“if Hindenburg piles up 600,000 casu
alities in another Verdun against the
western front, that trill be the ci.d
of him,” and “his fall trill be the fall
of a great idol and of the temple of
the German staff.” Knowing the
French and British armies, he has
“no doubt of the Jesuit," and he
tells us that we may be sure that
‘we shall play our part in due time.”
If the Army shall be provided with
ships and with the material which
hey carry, it trill win victory.
