GERMAN RANKS HAVE
NOT BEEN OEPLETED
LONDON.—The official military ob
server at the British headquarters in
the field says, in a report given out
here today, that there is no truth in
statements to the effect that the Ger
man ranks in the west have been
depleted generally and to a marked
extent.
"The plain truth is that, aitnougn
,the enemy’s effectives in the west are
much reduced and ours increased, he
is still holding an enormous extent
of front, as well as carrying out op
erations on a huge scale in the east,”
the report continues. “No signs of
weakening are yet visible in the mo
rale of the German troops as a whole.
There is as yet no reason why an
intensely brave, determined, and well
organized army like that of the Ger
mans should feel discouraged.”
“By reason of the news given to
the German troops,” the report con
tinues, “their enemy appears to them
to be exhausted and engaged in a last
despairing effort to delay the inevita
ble decision.
“No doubt economic and other fac
tors have had a great effect on the
civilian population of Germany, and
there is a marked difference between
the expectations with which they en
tered upon the war and those they
now cherish, but it is impossible to
say that either they or the army have
yet definitely lost confidence in their
ultimate success. This confidence will
only be overthrown and the morale
of the troops will only be shaken by
the consciousness of crushing defeat
in the field; btu this end can only
be attained by ever-increasing pres
sure of vast numbers of men and guns
throughout the coming months.
"The kaiser can choose at will a
■Russian, Belgian or French town
wherein to make a triumphant ap
pearance in the presence of his troops.
They are fighting in the enemies’
country, ruined and devastated by the
■passage of their armies.”
