The article focuses on the fact that the German morale has still not been destroyed inspite of the extent of German defeat. The German public knows now that Paris is for the moment no longer menaced that the fifth great German offensive has been so disastrous a failure that, three weeks after its beginning, it is not yet plain where limits of the German retirement are to be. If the end of the summer comes with no further German gains, the military group in Berlin will be hard put to it to maintain its present supremacy. The liberal voices now hushed will be once more raised and the demand for peace will become still louder. It is all very well to talk about nations fighting to the last gasp and the last man.
