HINDENBURG WILL STRIKE
DESPERATE BLOW MUST BE EXPECTED
(Published in The Times.) (Received September 1, 8.40 a.m.) i . LONDON, 31st August. Colonel Repington writes : "All Germany will acclaim Yon Hindenburg's appointment as an admission of tho failure of Falkenhayn's strategy. Since Verdun ancl the Somme Falkenhayn has not shown'elasticity, and he leaves Hindenburg the most unfavourable conditions on several-fronts. Hindenburg needs watching.^ While tlm Russians and the Rumanians devastate the plains of Hungary, Hindenburg will probably try a great movement from Kovel, or, using his superior railways, will strike elsewhere. The German armies are still in good strength and good heart, and her reserves are sufficient to allow of a strong offensive. We must expect Hindenburg to strike a desperate blow. That is his character. The new bromn will attempt to make,a clean sweep." / .
