THE GERMANS
WHAT DO THEY SAY?
What do Germans say among themselves about the war? Well the talk about invading England which dominated everything in the autumn is no longer heard. Likewise, nothing is heard now about quick victorv. To a stranger in the train or place of amusement Germans are naturallv sure of winning. And there is a note of workl-conauest pride in the voice of soldiers and officers when they talk >of Poland, France, Denmark, Norway and other countries as their own possessions, tout if you get a German alone he will most likely admit he has begun to feel nervous, wondering what has become of all the bFuehrer's nromises. The chances are he will shake his head, if a little mellow, and say that "if we don't win by September the devil only knows what mav be expected, as we can hardly manage another war winter."—(A neutral recently in Germany writing in The Times, April 23, 1911.)
