“RABBIT TACTICS.”
THE BEGINNING OF THE END. GERMAN ARMY DRIVEN UNDERGROUND. Loudon, June JO. .Mr Lloyd George, speaking at Dundee, said: “We possess such a reserve of munitions that whatever the German submarine campaign does.cannot deprive us of the necessary stocks to prosecute the war successfully. We have driven Germany's great: army underground, which is the beginning of the end, for it means that we are pounding "a. sense of inferiority into every pore of the German military .mind. Can you imagine the Kaiser before the war saying, in a swagger speech to (he Prussian Guard: ‘My _ gallant warriors, descendants of the men of Frederick, when the time comes again to meet the foes of the Fatherland I will see that deep caverns are made to hide you from your enemies, especially from the contemptible British Army, which is seeking your lives. I will do more. If by some diabolical machinery lie destroys those shelters, you shall behind have other shelters; and if you cannot take your guns to them, just leave them behind/ These are rabbit tactics, but it is good for war as well as for the time after the war that the virtue of humility is being taught the Prussians with a fierce, relentless lash,”
