He declares that whin the war broke out the vast majority of the Germans believed that a knock-out blow would be given to France, then Russia would be defeated, and finally accounts would be settled with Britain. "But, to-day," he says, "we Tealiso' that the ultimate result, the victory or defeat of Germany and Austria, depends on our ability to preservo tho strength of Turkey, and hold up our connection with her.
