To save himself he orders a su- preme massacre, hut if I mistake not' his hour has come, and Verdun will bring no relief to his tottering dy- nasty. He found the gallant French army ready and impatiently awaiting the onslaught and human liberty is again safe. ! Thus Germany was forced to look towards France, but the Republican army had become very powerful. Its artillery and ammunition Were vastly (superior, to what they Were when they grepulsed the furious German attacks , at the Yser, and these things militated lagainst the effectiveness of the blow. iBut the blow had to be delivered somewhere before spring should bring the new Russian and British armies into action, before the people should lose courage and spirit to re- sist, and so the Kaiser ordered the attack on Verdun, it is said, contrary to the advice of his leading generals. as his only hope. The Kaiser visited his son. the prince in command, and called around, him all his Prussian generals. at" least all that remained of that once invincible phalanx, and the desperate‘ hammering of Verdun was begun. r In the direction of Egypt and Asia the situation was extremely desperate and the game was up. Through the capture of Erzorum Turkey already had become a dead weight, and was crying for German help. In the Balkans, Germany would only be working for the benefit of the Bul. garians, who are so decimated and crushed they are unable to make a fresh effort for themselves. Saloniki was admitted to be irttpresr,nablo. Greece was veering, and Rumania could not be depended upon. The Kaiser is at bay. and his to saw the country and himself by do- ing something extremely desperate; and before the attack on Verdun called a council of his leading gener- als at Potsdam and obtained their opinions as to the proposed move. They all saw that the Russian front was consolidated as never before, and that they wet" assuming a victorious offensive. Hence that German effort in that theatre would be useless. It is noticeable that the troops who made the greatest sacrifiees at Vets dun were principally Prussians, the flower and pick of the German army, and naturally the supreme Champions of Militarism. It is credibly reported that during the last visit of the King of Saxony to his troops the officers surrounded him and told him that the war must be quickly brought to a close, for the soldiers would be unable to undertake any new campaign. General von Dcimlinsr told the Ger- man fifteenth corps that this was to be the last anti-French offensive. and it seems to express an exact verity.
