The fourth week of the Battle of the West Front finds Germany's opponents acutely aware of the sore trials which confront them. There is no tendency among statesmen or thoughtful observers to minimize the enemy's display of numerical power, his resourceful and determined leadership, or his actual achievements up to the present. In spite of the grave words uttered in the British House of Commons and the story revealed in the official war bulletins, it is recalled that the first few weeks of the war before the Marne, the weeks of Verdun, the Russian collapse in Galicia and the Italian disaster to recognize that there is not to-day the same sense of possible catastrophe.
