Show MAJOR MDRAHT IS RIO LONGER CERTAIN Tells of Havoc Wrought by British Guns in the Somme District. (Special Cable by Arrangement with London Daily . Telegraph and InternaiioDal News Service.) I ROTTERDAM, Aug. 7. Major Mo-raht, Mo-raht, the famous German military critic, writes as follows in the Berliner Yolks Zeltung: "The life of Prance depends upon England's Eng-land's taking a further part in the war and whether it is still prepared to shed more blood. "England is apparently determined to set the future of the war on this card. First Lord of the Admiralty Arthur Balfour Bal-four confirms that an unbroken stream of men and munitions is being carried across the channel. For us this is a reminder re-minder that we must, as far as possible, break this undisturbed communication between England and France. Only whe.. we have carried out our threat against English communication with the continent conti-nent can we reckon upon relief upon the Somme. "In the Somme district the English heavy guns spit day and night on our I trenches with such furv as was never before experienced. Although hundreds of thousands of projectiles explode without with-out effect, there siill remain zones of fire the horrors of which can onlv be imagined by those who have been there. "Referring to the eastern front, the Initiative is not on our side. The elastic bending back of our fronts has lert our chief forces unbroken for further events. New forces have been sent to threatened points to fight for a decision and the organization for victory has been pit. ceded by the regrouping of our enemies and the new regulation of commanders." |
