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. The billionaire dinuer gien
