Interact at Ruhlében from November, 1914, 16 March, 1915, he sub- sequently enjoyed -unusual opportunities of observing developments in Berlin. -Although the fort has never been pub licly proclaimed, everybody knows that a major of the General Staff gathers th newspaper editors together once a week and tells them what they are to talk about in their newspapers during the coining week and what attitude they are, On the whole, the German to adopt.

From private sources I know that Ilarder is convinced not only that there need have been no European war had Germany nos decided on it; that England and France did their best to prevent the war, but, what is worse in his eyes, be thinks that Germany blundered into an anequal and therefore disastrous contest through departing from Bismarck in traditions of statesmanship.
