GERMAN LINERS T0 BRING MEN HOME Battlefield Coincidence. the armisilce com: St. Quentin. The swift advance there -was Judged to be of merely minor importance. The Germans had hoped Ito gain an equal success all along , the line. The reasons for the failure which appeared on the German side of the hill were: First, the artillery prepara- tion was not 'mMeient, because they could not bring up enough ammuni- tion fast enough; Ind second. the re- sistance of the British infantry went beyond all German calculation. It remained to try again. The next attempt may be called another version of the orizinal idea. On March 28 an attack between Oppy and Neuville- Bt. Vaast was launched in order to extend the southern succeu. The German stat? were eonhdent that they would recover Vimy Ridge and cup. ture Ana: by the weight of the ilrat Mow. As is known, they failed com- pletely. The attack, in fine, did not succeed as had been eLTeeterexeept south of For in that great offensive of March 21 the main weight of the attack was to have fallen north of the Somme. The Germans had no intention of massing divisions south of a line drawn from M. Quentin to Amienn, and so the actual results of the sevene check to the northern section of the offensive and their great advance in the south were considered by the Ger- man tstafr--I borrow the very guard- ed phrnse---"as somewhat in the na- ture of a failure." i For the plan, wording- to Von Schwink, did go awry frcm the first day. Even while the Kaiser w" undo ing about t;lcgrams, while the British public. was reading anxiously of that hurried recast upon Amiens, the Ger- man staff knew that they had failed. So different are facts from imperial desires, so different things look on the other Iide of the hill. to repair the plan which had gone awry, or to substitute Iome other which had not been originally con- templated. The German Object. The main idea of the great German oeensive in 1918, he says, was to break through to the sea, cutting the British army into two parts, one of which was to be driven back on the channel ports while the other was to be thrown southward in disorder upon the French. All that happened after- ward was in the nature of attempts on .--e, A1 . -- - - France, von Below Gd" Gini; com- mand of the Seventeenth Army, and Schwink went with him. _.-.... mu uuuw was on the Italian front in 1917, Schwink served with him.

We were in jail flve days and then were sent off to Gedos. They made us pay our passage across the Sea of Mer- mora and 66 miles along the road. That's the wuy they did in Turkey all dong; if you didn't have money you didn't eat or do anything else. Of course the Turks don't know any bet- ter. They are pretty much heathens: they only give their soldiers a loaf of bread a day. The next day an oMeer came in and ordered us to give up our uniforms. We refused, and he went out to return with two soldiers with fixed bayonets. Bo we had to give up our toga. We complained to everyone, but it was no good.

Upon the promise being given the captain con-i tinned: "It was about 8 in the evenal iny on the last day of September,} 1917, three of us went up from Mud-f roe in a Ilandley-Paze to bomb Con-' atantinople, We had only been up a- short time when the engines went 'dead' and we had to come down about tst miles off Sulva Bay.

Last and most irritating of all these chapters of disillusion must have been the discovery that, as Schwink puts it, "the fighting value of the German divisions was generally overesti- In the lighting of the whole cam- paign of 1918 what most impressed Schwink was the discrepancy between the German staff's estimate of the fUthting value of the British divisions and the actual value. The German general staff consistently and con- siderably underestimated the value of the British divisions which had been engaged. Von Schwink, who may, perhaps, speak for one school of German mili- tary opinion, thinks that this was a serious mistake. His view is that if every man had been thrown into the offensive on the Bethune-Ypres front the Germans would "almost certain- ly" have reached the channel ports. Finally and " usual "the resistance of the English troops, especially about Givenchy, led to delay.” Two Big Miseaktt1ations. It is curious how closely the story Iof this northern offensive resembles j that of the first great attempt to the 1 south. Both began with a spectacular 1success which the general staff con- sidered a failure; in both there fol- lows an attempt to repair the damage, l to set the plan on its legs again.
