GERMAN REVIEW OF WAR SITUATION
"EVERYWHERE FAVOURABLE" THE GLAMOUR OF VON HINDENBURG ("The Times.") (Rec. October 18, 6 p.m.) London, Ootober 17. The "VossisoheZeitung," in a review of the military situation, says: "Since von Hindenburg assumed supreme command of our armies, everything has been running like a well-oiled machine. The power of the Russian offensive was soon definitely broken. The position in Transylvania and Ruma.ma is constantly improving. The general situation is everywhere favourable.. The Allies' pressure is evoking a counter pre6sure, which is now developing. The Allies' Somme offensive has been checked, and the South-eastern Rumanian peril warded off. Germany is now past the danger point. The Somme offensive marks the zenith of the fighting since August, 1914. The effort to wrest from us the initiative on the "Western front has secured the initiative for only a fragmentary portion, but these terrible three months of fighting are merely the preliminary to the final decision, which Germany desires as much as tho Allies, and must ultimately be coma to on the Western front. Mr. Lloyd George and M. Briand have brought about a coordination of the Allies on a grand scale. Britain wanted men, and France wanted guns. They have been partly successful, and greater efforts are under contemplation next spring._ The intermingled Anglo-French armies _ are exchanging staff officers and taking other measures for facilitating a common blow, which it is now proposed to doliver in 1917, therefore tacitly admitting that Germany has won the Somme battle."
