FRENCH, THE FAILURE IX war tlicro is oven less i!jtee tlism in petK'C for the man who fails. In war. human lives are at slake. In poaee, only dollars. .It is therefore imjierative that when the commander of an army fails to make good he make way for another. The failure of the allies on the west, front has been largely due to the failure of CI en era 1 French as a command ing general. Had he been under .J off re he would have been relieved of command after the battle of iMons. Hut not withstanding repeated failures, he was kept in command by the British cabinet, though his masterly inactivity and masterly retreats have needlessly and profitlessly sacri ficed thousands of valiant men. .Following the war council of the allied nations at Paris has come a general.shake-up in 'British commands. It is reported that this step was demanded by France and Bus sia as imperative to the retention of confidence. What the British failed to see, the foreigners early comprehended that Britain had the men, and the arms, but not the brains at the front to use them. (leneral French's failure began at the beginning. At the battle of jMons he delayed retreat twenty hours after being informed by Joffre that the French to the east were in retreat before overwhelming forces. In the retreat that followed his command was nearly destroyed, whereas the two French armies, retreating in time, checked their pursuit. But JolTi'c, on account of the British retreat, had to give up the line of the Champagne and the Sonnne and retire to the Marne. At the .Ala rue, French failed again. His inexcusable delay permitted Von Jvluck to draw back and attack the Paris army. In consequence the decision of the battle was not before Paris, as planned by .loffre, but obtained at La I'Vre Champeiiuise by Foch. Had French not failed, the battle of the Marue would have cleared France of Germans. The battle of Yprcs involved no tactics or strategy just a battle of grit a soldiers' battle. Hut even here the reserves were slow in being brought up. Neuve Chapelle was a failure after a brilliant charge and tremendous slaughter simply because, after the Ger man lines were broken, no reserves were hurled forward, the Germans had time to reform and bring up reinforce ments delay lost a great victory. French or Kitchener, or both, are to blame for the mun itions scandal. The liritish were unprepared for the great spring drive and Germany over-ran ttussia. The fall drive found the Hritish with plenty of muni tions and plenty of men. .loffre struck in Champagne, French in Arfols. Again the British broke the German lines and went, far forward. Again there were no sup ports. Troops were left forty-eight hours in their ad vanced positions without reinforcements. The Germans massed their reserves and came back and tin' French had to send reinforcements to hold part of the gains made. Loos was a second Xeuve Chapelle. French had failed again. Kitchener should be the next to go. He has not made good and there is no room for failures in war. The lirit ish should ndont .loffre 's tactics force the voiuur. ener- getie men who have proven the aged 1 allures. PSYCHOLOGICAL LOGIC ATRULV remarkable instance of hyphenated logic is tho indorsement in the last issue of "The Father land" of Itoosevelt as the Gorman-American presidential candidate by Hugo Muensterberg, professor of psychology at Harvard' university, and one of the mouthpieces of the German-American propaganda in the Tinted States. No one has been bitterer against Germany and the Ger mans than Roosevelt. His condemnation of the Wilson ad ministration has been principally because the president did not declare war upon Germany at the beginning on account of the violation of Belgian neutrality. Uoosevelt lias belittled and derided neutrality at every opportunity and emphatically and hoist rously advocated war. hi a recent letter Uoosevelt stated that he could never forgive the administration for not declaring war against Germany upon the sinking of the Lusitania, as he fully expected to organize and lead a brigade of troops across the seas, and the peaceful proclivities of the administra tion caused "the great disappointment of my life." Professor Aluenstcrhcrg evidently takes these anti German outbursts jis pure dcumgogisui, declares that Uotwevelt would have "resisted Knglaud's attack against American independence." as he describes the cutting of German cables, and proceeds to evolve the untaxing theory that "the psychological equation of his ( Uoosevelt 's) per sonality makes him a pro-German in all that is best in him, and only his temper and his perpetual desire to be with the mtiKses made him a pro-ally." Therefore German Anicricnus should favor Uoosevelt as against Wilson and the professor holds there is no other choice. In this connection, there can he little doubt that Uoose velt is an active candidate for the presidency, lie wants it as badly as he did in 10V- when he ruined his part j because it wa denied him. lie is threatening to repeat, tlio performance now, unlchs he is allowed to name the can fildntf preferably hinwelf.
