He claimed that events in Russia had promoted the German plans. Lies- pite the necessity of concentrating forces last year for the repulse of Brusiloff the limited resources then aitable West had replied the Anglo-French attack. Hindenburg continued ratser inopportunely: "Things to-day ars fundamentally different on The Woutern Front, and wo have become so strong that we can withstand every attack.”~ He spoke complacently of the Central Powers absolute security oo all Fronts and of their unprecedented strength and preparedness everywhere, He declared that the sub- mariniai calculations were turning out correctly, and esa- cluded with an expression of confidence based upon a con- sideration of all human possibilities.
