Mason (TJnited Press' War Expert) New York, April 23. Every engage ment between German and American forces that results in no more than an even distribution of casualties is a de feat for Germany, because of ths al ready depleted condition of German manpower. The easualty results alone, therefora, of the fight at Seicheprey would mean Gorman defeat even if the Germans had retained permament possession of a sector of the American front.

This spirit of restlessness is the great eat fault of the German militarists and by its operation alone, means their ul timate undoing. The Germans are whol ly incapable of letting well enough alone. That is ths reason why they em barked on their submarine warfare which forced America into the war; that is why they started their present west front offensive which is proving to be be without adequate compensation for the terrible slaughter of German man power; that is why every major mistake of the German military faction has been committed. A kind of neurasthenic irresponsibil ity prevails at German headquarters. The higher command is thinking always in terms of the initiative. This is a dis astrous trait. It means Iiinduuburg and the llohenzollerns cannot restrain their mania for killing even more Germans as their sole moans of trying to win the war. Each German assault, therofore, that results in German deaths must be regarded as a German contribution to democracy's eventful triumph.

The war department has refused to give out officially the Pershing cable gram estimating the German losses at around uuU anit tlioymenenn casualties as heavy, though nrt exceeding the Teu ton numbers. Pershing is known to have under con sideration the issuance of a daily offi cinl communique to forestall the publi- ! l tiou of wild rumors based on Uernian official claims. The Seicheprey raid led to extreme stories of both defeat and victory. Tho truth was that the Ger mans made a considerable advance ana inflicted considerable losses, but were uiivcu out of possibly all they gained, while suffering heavy losses themselves.
