GERMANY'S NEW ARMY CHIRP.

CHANGE OF STRATEGY PROBABLE.

(BY THE TIMES' MILITARY CORRESPONDENT.

The appointment of Field-Marshal von Hindenburg to be Chief of the General Staff of the German Armies, and of his intimate associate, General von Luden dorff, to be first Oberquartiermeister, or Bub Chief of the Staff, shows as that the sun of Falkenhayn has set, as that of the losser Moltke set before, and that the Austro-German Armies have a hew

master.

The Ober-Feldherr des Deutschen Reicht remains, of course, the Kaiser as before, and to him is nominally commit! ted the command-in-chief. We do not know for certain to what extent the Kai- sor has interfered in the conduct of the war and has imposed his will upon the two Chiefs of Staff who have been succes sively thrown aside, but we know that his grandfather never interfered with the decisions of the great Moltke; that rever once in 1860 or 1870 was a Council of Wer held and that if Moltke's plans were always submitted to the old Emperor, William, they were always accepted with out demur. If this precedent has been followed we have the right to say that Hindenburg is de facto Commander-in- Chief, and as the Gormans have nesumed control of the forces of all their Allies" he practically becomes Generalissimo of all our enemy's armies,MA

Hindenburg, we must admit, is the most prominent military figure of the war. His resounding victories, his soldierly bluntness, his impressive physique, his square bull dog head, and the feeling which prevails that he has been somewhat. loft in the shade of late owing to the jealousy of Falkenhayn, make him an extraordinarily popular figure in Ger many, and we can have no doubt that his rise will be received by all Germany with acclamation. It will be felt that he alone, or at all events he best of all, will. be able to save Germany from the gather- ing hosts of implacable enemies, and a new courage will fill spirits which were beginning to quail

MOLTKE AND FALKENHAVN.

The change is an admission of failure. The strategy of the lesser Moltke failed at the Marie and at Ypres, in spite of the brilliant opening of the war, and with these failures there collapsed the whole German plan of campaign, which aimed at a knock-down blow to France as a necessary preliminary to the decisive campaign against Russia.
