SOURCES OF CONFIDENCE. These things must be realized if the military position and the confidence of the German people are to be understood. This first experience of Germany was to The military resources of Germany are some extent typical of the situation as still enormous. The confidence of the I saw it during the first weeks of my visit, people is not, however, based upon any The changed attitude of oficials, both expectation of great and decisive military and civilian, was most marked. victories, such as were hoped for at the It was particularly noticeable among the beginning of the war.

They mixed with their men, in an easy- going, friendly way which would formerly have been thought highly detrimental to discipline.

CHANGES IN THE ARMY.

When alluding to this change in con- versation with Gormans, I was always told that the German Army is now a real people's army. The war, I was informed, has played havoc with the " parade -clements.

ts.The Guards and other crack regiments have been badly mauled again and again by the enemy. The Bower of the Junker officers have fallen and, in their place, able men have been promoted without much regard for their previous rant.

Even privates are said to have entered into the class formerly so circum scribed. Commissions have been given to a number of Jews. Besides, the depletion of the corps of professional offers lus automatically given greater importance

Germany is looking to the West. If the worst comes to the worst, she thinks that it may be enough to hold her present Western front and to let other factors work, especially submarines und Zeppe- lins. It is fondly imagined that the sub- marines have stopped British oversen trade. Hence the explosion of joy on the sinking of the Lusitania. It is significant of the German lack of insight into

of other the Jainds

people no one to whom I spoke seemed to conceive the possibility that the Lusitanin outrage could have other than good consequences for Germany. Most people are convinced that there are no regular sailings to Eng- land, and that it is sheer madness to attempt to trade with her.
