AMSTKIiDAM, I li.llsiml. Au. HI.
On the eve of the prenl Kriimo-Amcr-ienn
offensive on the Munie unit the
Frnneo-Britisli drive in I'icardv, the
(lennnn press opened a violent euni
pnijin njrninst Marshal Foch, nrc
Hiiinnhly to console nml ninuse the
German public while it awaited the
"(,'reat victory" I.mlemWi'f had
promised them.
General Von Anlenne in a threc
coluinn article in the licrlin Taeblatt
, -called "General Foch in tile Judge
ment of his Coantrynien and Contem
poraries," hejjins by denviii!; that
Foch is one of the "intellectual
Itiunts" of military history, or even
one of the dominating characters.
He declares Knglish critics have
declared Foch to lack initiative.
Then he nserts that Foch is mt the
head of a "coalition army," all the
parts of which represent ;.vnarati
interests, while the Finnish and
Americans in particular are in "con
stant rivalry."
falls Kocli Failure.
After ii Ions passage on tl.i. sup
posed iisin-r up of the allied reserve
army and an elaborate discussi-in
of Koch's alleged lack of an organ
ized staff, General Von Ardenne con
eludes as follows:
' Finally, when one considers that
General Foch tried to jrive effect to
the so-called unity of command by
liii.Ninjr up the separate contingents
that he is now-reproached perhaps
not entirely without reason with
having too jrreatly favored the Ital
ian front, and fresh regroupings are
now in preparation and partly car
ried out, one must admit that General
Foch has not (piite corcrsponded to
the ideal which the imagination of the
French and the Italians had made
of him. In any case, the li7-ycar-old
leader has not trot a bed of roses."
The Berlin Lokal Anzeier, in aa
atiele headed, "More Bloodletting,"
says:
Inspired Criticism
"It is evident from the simultan
eous and similar attacks of the
French on the Aisnc that it was not
of their own initiative Hint the Eiijt
lish on the Lys enframed in partial
attacks,, which were ton strone; for
mere reconnaissances and too weak
for an offensive, with even the slight
est prospect of success. Doubtless
both operations were the results of
Koch's deliberations, nnd it would not
be surprising if the fresh and bloody
losses were considerably to increase
the dissatisfaction about Foch's
achievement which can no loi;ci be
hushed up either in Paris or London.
It is true thutFoch has the stroni;
support of Clenienceau, who can
hardly drop the fjeneralissimo with
out exposing himself to the reproach
of having insisted upon bis appoint
ment." Hoth the articles uuoted are ob
viously inspired by the German gen
eral staff.

backing Tor the Ilrltlsh dye Industry
1o aid In lighting that vjf the Ger
mans after the war is promised.
, Sir Albert Stanley, president of the
board of trado, in an address recent
ly snid the government Is prepared
to make loans to dye manufacturers
and grant them appropriations out
right to meet the- Increased cost of
Li u ild In ks and equipment.
The government, he added, has
decided that the importation of all
dyes, except under ILense, should be
prohibited for at least ten years.
The development ot dye-making
has been hampered by the demand
on It for the supply of explosives.
Germany's pre-war monopoly of the
dye business has been of inestimable
value to It for this purpose. The gov
ernment has already granted a sub
sidy to a limited company around
which was to bo grouped the princi
pal dye-making concerns, hut the ob
ject has not yet been attained.
Therefore, said Sir Albert, a
change has hecome necesary if Crest
Britain is to be Independent of tier
many for dyes after the war. By co
operation and government assistance
this can be brought about.

LONDON. Aug. 10. It Is known
that pau-tiernian expansion plans of
the knfer call for the conquest of
Afghanistan as a step toward India,
but when the Germans reach that
little nation and start thojr steam
roller crushing process, they won't
find it easy.
Tho paramount factor In the lives
of the natives, say recent advices
from India, is their state of military
preparedness. Out of political chaos
a new Afghanistan was created l)y
Abdur Rahman, father of the present
Amir, or ruler, who fought his way
to the throne and luynediatcly reor
ganized the scattered army. - '
The Cermans helped him, it Is true
buflf they figure pn occupying the
nat'rai without a battle they will he
mhtuken. Huhiuuu introduced a sys
tem of compulsory military training,
translating the British military man
uals Into Persian and Pushtoo for his
army. Ho hired Turkish officers to
drill his men and built forts all over
his kingdom, especially along Its
frontiers.
lie established arsenals, bought
guns and munitions from the liritish
built storehouses for emergency stor
ing of foodstuffs, and built strategic
roads over the most passable parts of
his kingdom. His plan was to raise
an army of 1,0(10,000 men.
The present ruler has carried cn
this work, until now Afghanistan is
well fortified against Invasion of its
soil by any nation.

I.ONDOX, Anjr. 10. "ShyloeU,"
or usurious money lenders, have be
come so rapacious in the Uriti-h army
that a demand that they he suppress-,
ed is being hoard.
Tho'isands of imen drafted into
the amy have sources of income
inmrt from their army (my, and it is
from these that tho 'Sbylocks''
come. Many of tliein were money
lenders before thoy entered the armv.
Although it is against the army reu-1
lutious for nou-commissioned officers
to lend or to borrow from privates,
there is scarcely a battalion in the
army which observes .the rule.
Men who have been accustomed to
receiving lare salaries in private life
often spend (heir few schillings of
army pay the day after they receive
it. This is the money lender's op
portunity, lie has his "touts, ' and
the price of nn introduction to him
usually is a pint of beer at the can
teen. !
The Shylocks rharge a varying rate
of interest for their loans, hut they
average about ,"jU per cent, and the
loans must be paid wHhin a week.
Thev make loans as high as 2.1 to the
soldier who is "broke and get in
return about .fli?..1!.
And the money lenders take care
not to incur any "bad debts." They
make a friend of the sergeant or sergeant-major
of the company and
when the borrower gets in over his
bead, an official word from this of
ficer usually results in the distract
ed private writing limine for money to
pay the Sbylock.

AMSTKIIDAM, Aug. Hi. (By the
Associated Press.) The moral de
terioration of the (ierman nation in
eonseipience of wartime trials is
greatly troubling clear minded observ
ers of the Fatherland. The Lutheran
Synod of Merlin the other day called
u special meeting to discuss bow to
deal with the dissolute ways of the
thousands of young munition workers,
male nnd female, who habit nally
squander their high wages in riotous
living and immorality, h w as agreed
that most of the youth of the country
teemed lo be entirely beyond con
trol. Much has already been written
about the unsafety of the public
streets, ami the general callous in
difference lo the sufferings of oth
ers. This seems to apply to the whole
of (u'rmany;
'F.very man's hand seems to he
against his neighbor,' the Cologne
Gazette despairingly exclaims, and it
dexotes a whole article to the intense
if latent anger of the populace al the.
extortions to winch it is subjected by
ihe unscrupulous melhod of trades
men, who, in their turn are made the
victims of deficient government con
trol and the usurious practices of
producers.
The Xewly Itich Offend
i'opular discontent is' fanned by an
nouncements of extravagant profit
such as those made by a meat firm
which supplies the army. It operated
with a capital of a million marks and
in one year netted a profit of 7'J2,(iH;(
marks.
Sarcastic comment abounds in re
spect of the newly rich who flaunt
their recently acquired wealth in the
faces of (heir less-favored fellow
citizens. The vulgarian who at a res
taurant calls for "three limes a por
I nil of whatever is mot expensive'
Is u standing t pe.
Another I eat ire is (he phenome
nal tiomand lor real estate by war
pritlitcer whbse aim is to become
"ion! of. a ia.amr.'! The German
Tagozt iL0lg tile other day contained
no lower than ii't advertisements for
country estates wanted al once, from

All these tilings serve to embitter
the helpless poorer clashes to 11 de
gree the danger of which has not es
caped the attention of the powers
that be, as witness recent arrange
meuls made at Minister, Westphalia,
where the service of the clergy ha
been enlisted bv the official war food
department to keeping down the
growing popular discontent over the
food difficulties.
F.Yeii the Itbcnish Westphalian Ga
zette, which gives publicity to this in
teresting piece of news, expresses the
fear that the lat few months pre
ceding the harvest will he an exceed
ingly trying lime, am) for this mi-
son the war food department wishes
to remain 111 constant touch with the
minor clergy, so as to !i:r.c lac bene
fit of their observations among the
people.
With reference to this, the socialist
Vorwaerts prophetically exclaims.
"after tin; war there will be only two
camps war profitteers and out and
out socialists."
