TILLAMOOK HEADLIGHT. DFCEMBEK 20, 1017. What the Editors Say. The German forces in East Africa were small, but thoroughly trained and fully equipped, and they were commanded by a most able and re sourceful general. Von Lettow, who time and time again when he appear ed to be completely cornered by British, Belgians and Portugese col- i umns, managed to break through and ' resume guerrilla warfare. The British South African troops and the Euro pean soldiers suffered severely from tropical diseases and from the hard ships of trailing the elusive German detachments, composed mostly of Arabs and natives, through the jung les. The subjugation of the last Ger man province took vastly more time than any of the English leaders had anticipated. Still, it was a necessary task, So long as the Germans could keep mo- bile forces in the field, they could harrass the neighboring colonies of England, Belgium and Portugal, and could divert from the fields of Europe large number of entente soldiers. On ly by making a clean sweep could the allied forces hope to keep this part of Africa from continuing to be a sore spot . German East Africa was the largest and most valuable of Germany’s over seas possessions. It is larger by 180- ooo square miles than German " in Eu- rope, and its natural resources are very large and very remunerative. It will be an important asset to the en- tente allies in case peace negotiations are based to any extent on territorial bargaining.—Spokesman Review. SEALING IN STOCKS.
