hampered the continuance of their of
fensive operations.
“It ‘s the wastage of the enemy
Yorces, the slow yet relentless, sapping
»f his man power by continued and
sudden offensive thrusts, which mustl
eventually result in the softening of
his line in the west,
“This is the ultimate objective of
the series of intensive offensives so
successfully pursued by the Allies in
the past six months, and is even more
important than the gain of terrain.
“The military situation is dominated
by the spectacular suceess gained by
the British forces in their thrust to
ward Cambral
“By adopting new tactical methods,
by evolving a strategy daringly con
ceived and brilliantly executed, the
British forces have been able to record
a greater success, when measured by
captured terrain, than any hitherto
achieved by either belligerent in the
same space of time along the western
front.
Haig's Success.
“While seemingly continuing his
joffensive engagementg in Flanders by
intensive artillery bombardment in
the sector stretching from Ypres to
the North Sea, Field Marshal Haig
was able to mask successfully his
‘plang for an offensive thrust between
the Scarpe River and St. Quentin.
“The usual preliminary artillery
preparation was dispensed with, The
lelements of surprise so essential to
victory placed a large part in the
isuccesses gained.
“The British, by a preponderant
jnumerical superiority in men and ma
'terial, by improvising the skillful
tactical maneuvering of an unusual
number of tanks, and by co-ordinat
ing with precision the deployment of
rcavalry, made use of these two arms
to bear the brunt of the encounter.
Infantry then was called upon to hold
and consolidate the terrain gained.
Thus the British were able to record
a decided success with very great
(economy of ammunitions, and slight
casualties.
“Three successive lines of German
defenses on a frontage of six miles
astride the Cambrai-Bapaume road
were captured and the Scheldt canal
in front of Cambrai was crossed.
“The first day of the battle dry
weather greatly facilitated operations,
which began at dawn November 20,

snow, he'd up the attack.
. Capture of Villages.
“The capture of the village of Fon
taine Notre Dame, two and three
quarter miles west of Cambrai, marks
the present limit of the advance.
“The British forces, while press
ing forward, are meeting with in
creased resistance.
; “Severe fighting continues, and we
‘may expect desperate attempts on the
part of the enemy not merely to pre- |
vent any further British advance, but
to regain, if possible, some of the
lost ground.
“Cambrai, the center of very im
portant rail, road and canal lines of
‘communication, now comes under the
immediate fire of the British. fleldi

GERMANY, THE NEXT REPUBLIC?
Germany Presented Ten ‘Flagrant
Violations’ by England of Au
thorized Warfare Under Inter
national Law as Justification
for the Institution of Unre
stricted Submarine Attacks by
the Teuton Powers.
N THE chapter entitled “The
I Opponent,” on page 27, the
author says:
“Before there is a discussion
of our legal right to the subma
rine warfare a brief review of the
general policies of our opponents
during the war will be given.
This account shall serve the pur
pose of fortifying the living feel
ing within us of our natural right
and of our duty to use all weap
ons ruthlessly, ,
“If we did not know before the
publication of the Entente note
(the Aliles’ peace reply Zo Ger
many) what we were up Against,
now we know. The mask fell.
Now we have confirmation of the
intentions to rob and conquer us
which caused the individual En
tente nations to league together
and conduct thg war. The neu
trals will now see the situation
more clearly. For us it is war,
literally, to be or not to be a
German nation. Never did such
an appeal (the Entente note)
find such a fruitful echo in Ger
man hearts,
“l 1 begin with ?ngland, our
worst enemy.”
On page 31 Admiral Hollweg
speaks of the fact that at the
beginning of the war many Ger
mans, especlally those in bank
ing and business circles, felt that
Germany was so indispensabls to
England in peace time tllat Eng
land would not conduct & war to
“knock out” Germany. But
Hollweg says the situation has
now changed.
On pages 122 to 126 he justi
fles the ruihleu submarine war
fare in the following way:
Enqlnnd'l “Ten Gross Violations.”
“It is known that England and
her allies declared at the begin
ning of the war that they would
e2dhere to the Declaration of Lon
don. It is just as well known that
England and the Allies changed
this declaration through the or
ders In council and other lawless
statements of authority until the
declaration was unrecognizable
and worthless—eéspecially the
spirit and purpose of the agree
ment were flatly pushed aside un
til practically nothing more re
mains of the marine laws as codi
fled in 1909, The following col
lection of flagrant breaches of
international law will show who
first broke marine laws during
the war:
“Ten gross violations of marine
enemy trenches and the taking of nu
merous prisoners.
“Ldively artillery duels took place
north of the Chenin Des Dames and
in the Verdun sector, where, as for
several weeks past, the enemy contin
ued to bombard the French positions
in Chaume wood,
“In the sector where our troops
are training increased artillery activ
ity is noted. Small detachments,
while on patrol duty, have gained
some useful experience.
“The Itallan armies, now complet
ing their reorganization, have been
able to withstand the assaults of the
numerically superior forces of the
Austro-German dlvisions engaged
against them. They have hitherto
prevented any further invasion of
the Italian plain.
“The enemy is continuing his ef
forts to break through. The line of
the Piave has held firm. Alcmtg the
lower Piave, where hostile forces
gained a temporary foothold on the
right bandk of the river, they were
driven off with great loss, thus ren
dering the Italian positions more se
cure,
Foe Held in Check. i
“Along the plateau of the Zette
commune heavy fighting i{s going on.
The enem yhas been successfully re
strained. '
“In the mountain regions between
the headwaters of the Brenta and the
Piave defensive operations have been |
well conducted, and the enemy has
‘been unable to make any further
progress.
“Strategic reserves, strengthened by
Allied contingents, have been consti
tuted,
“The morale of the Italian forces
is improving daily, and while the situ
ation i{s not wholly free from critical
aspects, the defensive measures ap
pear adequate to meet the situation.
“In Palestine the British forces un
der General Allenby are advancin
rapidly on Jerusalem. They hu'x
now reached a point on the Ramaleh
road approximately seven miles west
of the city, while another force is
bearing down from the north.” \

law in wartime by England:
“First. Violation of Article IV
of the Maritime Declaration of
April 18, 1855. Blockading of
neutral harbors in violation of in
ternational law,
“Second. Violation of Article
II of the same declaration by
the confiscation of enemy prop
ety aboard neutral ships. BSee
order in council, March 11, 1915.
“Third, Declaration of the
North Sea as a war zone. Brit
ish Admiralty Declaration, No
vember 3, 1914,
“Fourth. England regarded
food as contraband since the be
ginming of the war. The starva
tion war. England confiscated
neutral food en route to neutral
States whenever there was a pos
sibility that it would reach the
enemy, This violated the recog
nized fundamental principles of
the freedom of the seas.
“Fifth, Attempt to prevent all
communications between Ger
many and neutral countries
through the violation of interna
tional law and the seizing of mail.
“Sixth. Imprisonment of Ger
man reservists aboard neutral
ships.
“Seventh. (a) Violation of
Article I of The Hague conven
tion by the confiscation of the
German hospital ship Ophelia. (b)
Murdering of submarine crew
upon command of British auxili
ary cruiser Baralong. (c¢) Viola
tion of Article XXIX, No. 1, of
lL.ondon declaration by preventing
American Red Cross from gending

“Eighth. (a) Destruction of
German cruiser Kaiser Wilhelm

in Norwegian waters.
“Ninth. England armed her
merchant ships for attack.
“Tenth, Use of neutral flags
and signs by British merchant
men in violation of Articles II and
111 of the Paris declaration.”
On page 134, after discussing
the question of whether the Eng
lish blockade has been effective
and arguing that England by
seizing neutral ships with food on
the supposition that the food was
going to Germany, has violated
the principles of the freedom of
the seas, he says:
“We may conclude from these
acts that we Germans can now
consider ourselves freed from the
uncomfortable conditions of the
London declaration and may con
duct the war as our own interests
prescribe. We have already par
tially done this inasmuch as we
follow the English example of ex
tending the lists of war contra
band. This has been inconvenient
for the neutrals affected and they
have grotuted against Lt We

will henceforth respect our pro

past accepted English interestsy
England demanded from them
that they assist her because Eng
land was fighting for the future
of neutrals and of justice. We
will take this principle also as
basis for what we do and even
expect thereby that we will com
pel England to grant us the kind
of peace which can lay new
féundations for sea warfare and
that for the future the military
acts of belligerents against neu
trals will not be carried to the
extremes they have been for cen
turies because of England's su
perior sea power. This new era
of civilized warfare we bring
under the term ‘freedom of the
seas.’"”
Hollweg’s next justification of
the unlimited submarine warfare
1s that Secretary of State Lans
ing in a note to Count von Bern
storff at first said merchant ships
could not be armed and then
changed his mind.
On page 160 Hollweg says:
“And now in discussing the ques
tion of the legal position of the
submarine as a warship, I cite
here the statements of the Ger
man authority on international
law, Professor Doctor Niemeyer,
who said: ‘There can be abso
lutely no question but that the
submarine is permitted. It is a
means of war similar to every
other one. The frightfulness of
the weapon was never a ground
of condemnation. This is a war
in which everything is permit
ted which is not forbidden.'” :
On page 176 in the chapter
entitled “The Submarine War and
Vietory” the avthor says:
“Every great deed carries with
it a certain amount of risk.
After the refusal of our peace
proposal we have only the choice
of victory with the use of all of
our strength and power, or the
submission to the destructive
conditions of our opponents.”
“Gomuné Will Break the
ntente.”
e adds that his statements
shall prove to the reader that
Germany can continue the hard,
relentless battle with the great
est possibllity and confidence of a
final victory which will break the
destructive tendencies of the En
tente and guarantee a Dpeace
which Germany needs for her
future existence.
On page 193 he declares: “All
food prices in England have in
creased on the average of 80 per
cent in price; they are for ex
ample considerably higher in
England than in Germany. A
world-wide crop failure in Canada
and Argentina made the importa
tion of food for England more
difficult.
“England earns in this war as
opposed to other wars nothing.
Part of her industrial workers are
under arms, the others are work
ing in making war munitions for
her own use, not, however, for
the export of valuable wares.”

theory that the German feet has
played a prominent role in the
war, although most of the time
it has been hugging the coasts
of the Fatherland.. He declares
that the fleet has had #» “dis
tance effect” upon the Allies’
\ control of the high seas. On
. page 197 he says:
| “What I mean in extreme by
. ‘fernwirkung’ (distance effect) I
will show here by an example,
' The English and French attack
on Constantinoplé failed. It can
at least be doubted whether at
that time when the connection
between Germany and Turkey
was not established a strong
English naval unit would have
brought the attack success. The
necessity of not withdrawing the
English pattleships from the
North Sea prevented England
' from using a more powerful unit
~at Constantinople. To this ex
~ tent the German battle fleet was
- not without influence in the vic
tory ‘for the defender of Con
stantinople. That is ‘distance
- effect,”
~_ On page 187 Hollweg declares:
~ “England not only does not make
money today by war but she is
losing. The universal military
service which she was forced to
introduce in order to hold the
other Allies by the tongue draws
from her industry, and thereby
Ler commerce, 3,500,000 work
men. Coal exportation has de- |
creased. During the eleven
months from January to Novem
ber, 1916, 4,600,000 tons less coal
was exported than in 1915. In
order to produce enough coal for
England herself the nation was
compelled by the munitions obli
gation law to put miners to
work.”
On page 223 the author de
clares:
“That is, therefore, the great
and important role which the
submarines in this war are play
ing. They are serving also to
pave the way in the future for
the ‘freedom of the seas.'™
. He adds that the submarines
will cut the thread which holds
the English Damocles’'s sword
over weak sea powers and that
for eternity the “gruesome hands”
of English despotism will be
driven from the seas.

sensitively. ery little buying—small
causes—produced rapid rises or impor
tant results.
The failure of railway shares to fol
low the industrials was due to prime
causes so familiar as to forefend reiter
ation. These were reconfirmed by the
October revenue report of the Santa
Fe, which showed a decrease of $855,-
538 in rating income, though the
Bross increased 351,712,554. This road up
to September had continued exceptfional
in making favorable statements.
Pullman descended 'to 1231, before it
recovered 1% of the 3% points lost since
the close @ last week.
It is a reasonable assumption that the
short selling here has been limited and
that, correspondingly, liquidation ex
plains the declil}e of the last four
months—the explanation of the -depre
ciation in all high-grade certificates. In |
the case of Pullman, the current mlk‘
of curtailed travel is responsible for the
latest pressure.
Pullman Income Enhanced.
So far it has been talk and it is quite
possible that the future will ’Fe as de
vold of fact as the past. he facts
are that, desi)lte taxes and the hlgher‘
cost of operation, the company’s net in
come since the end of the fiscal year‘
has been enhanced considerably; in
other jterms, the addition to the $4,000,-
000 cash surplus shown in the last ygar-‘
ly statement is fortifying the organiza
tion increasingly.
Pullman {s another of many instances
of liquidation incited by general bear
ish sentiment wholly unwarranted by
intrinsic condition. Receipts are run
ning $500,000 to SBOO,OOO monthly in ex
cess of the corresponding period in 1916,‘
and of these earnings a very fair pro
portion is clear gain after allowing for
‘the Government’s bit. ;
There is no diminution in {‘ravel. Cal
ifornia and Florida are preparing for
and are confident of the usual throngs of
winter visitors. The passenger tral’flc‘
East, especially to ‘Washington, was |
never so heavy. No surplus cars are |
in transit. Pullman coaches are filled
to capacity. Upper berths are coveted |
—where formerly they were shunned.
The manufacturing part of the com
pany is eminently satisfactory. While
the building of freight cars is 50 per
cent of full capacity, this is due to want
of basic material and not to lack of or
ders. The books at present record
enough c#mmands for passenger cars to
keep the plant busy to Spe turn of the
first half of next year. he long pend
ing negotiations with the Russian Gov
ernment for cars ended negatively.
Morgan Firm Ortlmlctlc.
Tn the financial circles there is an
important exteption to the blue senti
ment on the securities situation, which
is too blue to be true. The saving
clause s represented by ‘‘the house on
&he corner,”” meaning J, P. Morgan &
o,
~ The Morgan firm is far from being in
despair of commercial and financial con
ditions. It believes business will be‘
moderately good and that a fair re
turn will be had from the moderately
good business; fair profits will be the
result of the fairly large turn-over. That |
‘standard companies can find what mon. |
ey they re?uire was attested by the‘
ready sale of the General Electric notes,
which could have been subscribed four
times over. ; ‘
Much gossip is in the air—it is literal
ly airy gossip—about putting up to Con- |
gress the matter of corporation maturi
ties. If this be (one, Congress will
doubtless advise corporation managers
to go into the money market and pay
the price of money. |
- Money can now b% had In abundance '
—at a price. Probably it will be avafl
able throughout the war—at a price.
The General Electric Company paid a
trifle more than 6 per cent for its last
accommodation. Other companies will
be similarly accommodated if they care
to pay the rate.
