THE HONGKONG DAILY PI

This was the only occasion during my stay in Germany that I heard the expres OFsion of such an opinion. Its importance lies in the fact that the speaker was a Jew and a financier of almost international importance. The Jews in Germany havepappe a very real influence on the trend of national affaire, and it is just conceivable that they may before very long use that influence to hasten the end of what they apparently regard as a hopeless struggle

WHERE THE TRENCHES ASS MEET. VIEW OF THE BATTLEFIELD FROM FRENCH OBSERVATION POST,

The following is the cocond article by Mr. Alfred Arnold, a member of the staff of the London Daily Express who went to Germany, at great personal risk, on a mission on behalf of his journal

I found Frankfort decidedly more choerful and hopeful than Düsseldorf. The reason is difficult to explain. "All the eities of the German Empire receive the sume war news, and I could find nothing. in the Frankfort newspapers particularly making for optimism,

The people, however, in this beautiful old city are convinced that Germany must win in the end, although they fear that the end is still far off. Here, as overy- where else, is the same deen, bitter hatred of England and the English. expressed with particular thoroughness in This was an interesting conversation I had with an infantry lieutenant.

He was very friendly and chatted quite frankly about the war, admitting that the Germans had been guilty of many tactical blunders.

This is chiefly due to the large increase in the exodus from Germany progress made by the French troops in Upper Alsace, and the orders of General Clace, the officer commanding the troops in that district, for subjects of neatral States to leave it. It is tree that, as a result of the caused by this order, General Gaede sensation has tried to that in special cases demands to continue attenuate its effect by stating in residence on the part of neutrals will receive individual consideration.

By the courtesy of the French War Office, Mr. Sidney Low has been permitted to visit the Alkod front, He was able to examine the French military arrangements at first hand, and to be present at one of those artillery combats which are the salient feature of the present war. The following are extracts from Mr. Low's third article appearing in the Standard _____

An officer invited us to visit the post of observation. It is a square platform erected on the very edge of the ridge on which No. 4 and its colleagues are placed, with a light"| breastwork and a tine screen of bushes in front. Here you may see the whole terrain of the fight and begin to understand what it means I may not indicate the precise locality, but it is one that appears a good deal below this ridge of ours to the slopes of this in the official despatches. There is a plain sorne four miles wide which extends from hills on which, or behind which, the German heavy batteries are in position. There are villages and farms scattered about the level, now all deserted, and in the middle the little town of B, with its empty houses, and gie importance, so that its possession has silent factory.
