THREE MONTHS OF WAR.
Th4ee months have passed since the
beginning of military operations, and
whit ''has happened to the 2,ermans
is tni tamount to tremendous defeat.
The success of the German .cfreme
depended on smashing victories at
first 'and the whole of German mili-
tary i esources were mobilized, to win
such victories. As German military
auohoTities have often admitted, non-
succesv in the initial coups attempted
would be equivalent to ultimate de-
feat since time and greater resour-
ces were an the side of the Entente.
I Atter three months of warfare, the
Germans have a precarious foothold
