AS THE GERMAN SEES IT.

ON A GOOD WICKET. CRUSHING BIOW IS THE ONLY REPLY. (Times and Sydney Snn Services.) . (Received 5.30 a.m.) "-. \ LONDON, March' 14. '"Eye-witness," with the British headquarters, says: "Putting ourselves in the places of the Germans, we cannot fail to see that there is yet no reason why an Intensely brave, determined and wellorganised army should feel discouraged. The Kaiser can choose at will a Russian, Belgian, or French town wherein he may make a triumphant appearance. They are still fighting in the enemy's devastated o.antry. and tales of victory have produced an atmosphere of complete illusion. Their enemy appears exhausted and engaged in a last despairing effort, which can but delay the inevitable decision. We must not lose sight of the fact that a national sense of discipline, forming part of the earliest education of every German, enables them to gain results with raw troops which with us could only be gained after months oi training, "and enables them to maintain an extremely high state of efficiency, even after suffering great losses. Their confidence can be overthrown and their morale broken only by a crushing defeat in the field, and this can only be attained by the everincreasing pressure of vast numbers of men and guns."
