The German Parliamentary Com- mittee was formed after the war and snt for six years enquiring into the catuses of war and why Germany had

The President of one of the Sub-committees subsequently issued a report in three volumes in which he stated at as Germany was not vic- torious, she was in no poallion to. make terms for peace.
The Foreign Office had clearly warned that military operations might fall and that there might be a need for diplomatic action.
Another German müitary writer wartis Germany that if, she did no! realise that the Great War was lost for purely military reasons nut on the Itome front but through the night ing forces of the Allies who brought the German armles to ruin, Ger-
