The writer concludes: "In regar. the recent fighting on our left, i desirnble that the German often e should be viewed in its tru< rspective and that it should neitlie belittled nor exaggerated.

TH,E REAL MEANING. 'The true idea of the meaning ol > operations of the allies can b tied only by bearing in mind thai is their primary object to brilU tut the exhaustion of the enemy*! ources in men.

This is to achieve as earlj possible some success of sufhcienl gnitude to influence the neutrals discourage the allies, to tnak< >m weary of the struggle and t( luce the belief among people ig rant of war that nothing has beet lied by the past efforts of tin ies because the Germans have no been driven back. It is beinf ilertalcen with a political rathei in a strategical object. 'It is to that extent front a mill y standpoint a sign of weakness other sign of weakness is tin iption of illegal methods of fight ;, such as spreading poisonoui ses.
