had been at' his desk in the

se morning when he received the Asso* t

ul later. It was somewhat ditlieult at I
lu first to realize that this quiet man

_H1 was one of the half dozen leaders who

i?nrent, however, that lie is both a
111 thinker and a man of action, bearing
>.s. his tremendous responsibilities with'
??n calm and assurance.
"What are the reasons for my unis
.-shakeable eontidenee in victory?" rers
peaied the Minister of War. "They
it are those of every Frenchman. Our
'0- enemies have been powerless to atsu
tain the essential object ?f every war
is- ?the destruction of evety adversary's
e. forces. In September 11)11 when we
u- arrested and repulsed the German offensive
the gan^c was lost by the
is- enemy."
,s" "How do you deduee that the Teuur
tonic Empires failed from that mument?"
asked the correspondent.
' Ticca use that victory gave the
rs Allies the essential factor of time,"
replied General Gallient, that has
eunhled us to organize the effective
operations of our resources?resourcre
es that are superior in money to
Id those of the enemy and nearly unee
limited in material, thanks to our
mastery of the seas."
? Geueral Gallieni then outlined the
liosltlon of the Teutonic armies *s he
to views It.
"Caught In a vise," he said, "the
Central Fowers are struggling desper^
grip. The attack upon our froqtt
along the Yser, the offensive against
in the Russians and the campaign in the
;s. Rulkans have hrten tliel convulsions
ac of a boast at bay."
fl?
Alluding to the character of the
re
German efforts isr these campaigns
General Gnllini said:
_ "I recognize all their energy and
? vigor Init their importance is secondary.
"Even their recent success, made
possible by the treason of Bulgaria,
T - annot modify the strategic situation
r which lias been unalterable for many
months. The French .British, Russian
and Italian armies are intact.
IT hey are growing stronger each day
and better armed to vanquish/'
Referring to the effect upon the
I German armies of the frequent trans,
fer of troops from one front to anil
otlwr. the War Minister declared:
"Transported to the West, re-transported
to the East and then to the
South, the enemy's armies are exhausting
themselves and the quality
of the Germans soldier is rapidly deteriorating.
The opinions of nil those
who saw the prisoners taken during
the battle of Champagne in September
are well fixed upon that point.
"The issue is fatal for the Central
Empires: Nothing but lack of tenacity
on our part could save them. Shall
^ we have the necessary energy to go
on to the end? If you wish to fix
your opinion as to that eventually,
travel about France everywhere. At
the front as in Paris, in the towns as
in the country you will see in the
eyes of everyone the unchangeable
will to preserve to the very end, to
a complete victory."
