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

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.
