OFFICER SAYS LITTLE
MEN BEST FOR ARMY
DETROIT, Mich., May 9.—Major
Phelps, of the army recruiting station
who saw twenty-one years’ active ser
vice in the cavalry, in a recntly inter
view said, “My conception of the ideal
soldier is a man of 5 feet 6 inches or
7 inches, weighing about 150 pounds.
This is the type of man who can stand
the fatigue and grilling punishment
of long hard duty. I prefer the re
cruit with 4 inches chest expansion to
one with a tremendous lung capacity
as he has more proved stamnia.
“I have seen such a man ride twen
ty-four hours and not give out. He
can go to sleep in the saddle,” con
tinued the major, fighting a fresh
stogie, “I’ve done it myself many a
time. I waked to find a trooper rid
ing at my side holding my arm.
“What are you doing here?” I asked
him.
“I was afraid the captain might fall
and hurt himself” he replied, but I
heard the rascal telling another man
afterward, “I didn’t care if the old
I man fell off, but he was the only ox
who knew the way back home, and
we’d have been in a h- of a fix if
he’d got hurt.”

VON HINDENBURG
LONDON, May 14—Field Marshal
von Hindenburg recently gave to the
guaria 'an interview,” which created
a storm of discussion in Switzerland
A delayed cable message from Berne
disclosed this fact. The interview
has never been published in full.
According to the London Daily Tel
egraph, the British admiralty inter
cepted the Hindenburg message sent
by the German government to its
wireless stations. Von Hindenburg
said:
“In deciding on unrestricted U-boat
warfare, notwithstanding the possi
bilities of America coming to the as
sistance of the entente powers, we
deemed such assistance was of no
weight. I certainly admit that the
financial assistance of the United
! States should be booked as an addi
tional asset for our enemies, but in
this way, contrary to what has been
the case in other wars, money has
proved not to be the most important
matter for the conduct of military
operations.
U. S. Did Best Before.
“The American supply of war ma
terial to the entente powers, has
already reached such a magnitude
that any further increase appears to
be hardly possible, and now it is pro
posed to raise an army of half a mil
lion or two millions Of men.
“To equip such an army and at
the same time to supply the entente
on the present scale appears to be
impossible. The material assistance
given the entente cannot be very
great within any measureable time,
and it is the task of our U-boats
to diminish it.
“If the British fleet, with the help
of the French, Russian, Italian, and
Japanese navies, has hitherto been
unable to overcome the U-boat dan
ger, the American fleet will not suc
ceed either.
“The entente has no weapon
against the U-boats. The sea barrier
grows with increasing effectiveness.
The more ships there are on the
ocean the greater will be the U-boats’
booty.
“Even with the most intense work
I and with the greatest support from
fhe entente countries in the sending
to America of officers to give in
structions, no American expedition
ary corps of any considerable
strength can be expected to be ready
for dispatch to Europe for at least
a year. On the other hand this year,
according to the statement of the en
tente leaders, is to bring the final de
j cision.
Germany Is Prepared.
“Moreover, wTe, too, have taken our

measures. Our eastern front has
been so consolidated that it is now
garrisoned by such a mass of men
that General BrusilofT, even with
the most ruthless sacrifices of men,
can achieve no success. Even the
craziest optimist in the entente camp
i cannot today deny that the recent ev
I ents in Russia will promote our plans.
’ “Last year we required our strate
gic army reserve to repulse Brusi
1 loff’s interruption, and the western
e front was thrown upon its own limit
1 ed resources. Nevertheless, the An
1 glo-French att^k was repulsed. To
8 day things are fundamentally differ
^ ent.
“The western front has become
‘ so strong that we can withstand ev
' ery attack. With the absolute secur
1 ity on all our fronts, we have today
3 at our free disposal an army reserve
f of a strength and preparedness
which have not been equaled at any
1 other time during the war, ready for
defense or attack at any point we
" may choose.
“Nothing which happens on any
’ front, in the sea or in the air, should
be regarded as an isolated phenom
* enon. Everything is part of one
great plan. In this sense our army
1 and navy have become one.
1 “Today, after more than three
months’ U-boat warfare, I can al
ready tell you that our calculation
was correct. The course which was
adopted, with full appreciation of all
the dangers which it entailed, is
leading up to the goal. We have
considered all the possibilities, and
acting on the best of human know
ledge and conscience, we have choos
en those which will lead us to vic
tory and peace.”
As a result of this interview, Lon
don is asking: “What is von Hin
denburg’s game?”
Briefly, it is to win a victory this
year, or something he can make his
people believe is a victory. If he
can cripple Great Britain economi
cally and reduce her to the point
where she is not as well prepared as '
Germany to enter the great commer
I cial competition after hostilities, j
then Hindenburg has won a victory.
When, in the twentieth round a
pugilist falls and is counted out, and [
the other tumbles over exhausted as
the referee awards him the decision,
the latter is hailed as the victor.
Germany is willing to accept that
kind of a verdict, relying on her in
dustrial and commercial recupera
tive powers.
Part of Offensive.
Germany’s submarine campaign is
as much of an offensive as the one :
hurled agianst the Russians in 1915,1
or against Verdun in 1916. If Ger
many wins on the sea, she wins the
war, provided her own supplies hold
out. Her submarine campaign is in
fititely more vital and powerful than I
anything she has done on land.
Upon America the allies depend
largely not only for food but for mu
nitions and material, while Germany
is self-sustaining. If the submarines
are able to cut off America, Ger
many will come close to winning. That
is as sure as fate and putting it mild
ly.
Once the submarine becomes on
ly a defensive weapon, Germany is
beaten, but so long as it holds the
offensive, the result is doubtful. Ev
ery ounce of bread saved here is
worth more than every foot of France
regained; every ton added to the al
lied shipping is worth as much as
every howitzer captured, every sub
marine sunk is worth a thousand
German prisoners.
When the home team fumbles, the
bleachers howl derision, and if the
home team happens to be the cham
pion, the critics are more bitter. The
British admiralty is the home team
and it has fumbled. It is certain to
regain the ball, but it is in for a lot
of criticism meanwhile.
The greater the stake the great
er the criticism. The very life of
the allies is staked on the admiral
ity. The admirality’s fumble has
brought about a reorganization of the
team, but only time will prove wheth
er its personnel will be able to con
quer the problem.
Haig’s brilliant campaign is re
ceiving only a small part of the praise
it deserves, because attention is focus
ed on the submarine. If the British
!had full control of the sea, it would
