THE OUTLOOK
GERMAN* NOT SUFFICIENTLY BEATEN.
(Received April 23, noon.)
LONDON, 22nd April. Lord Curaon, in a speech at Derby, said that the past fortnight's operations in Francs had shown the . wonderful superiority of our artillery, which had fired fourmillion projectiles. Germany's military power was nevertheless not sufficiently brokeii to induce her to accept any terms the Allies could regard as reasonable. 'It was difficult to say.what the internal condition of Germany was, but her military power. and arrogance could only be broken in the field., The consensus of expert opinion was that the comparatively stationary number of sinkings |>et w«k <if British merchantmen does not indicate any lack of success in dealing with the menace. On the contrary it is believed that the Germans are despatching fresh batches of submarines each week, and are not waiting for tidings of those sent previously, many of which never return. It is tne Germans' obvious intention to maintain the campaign at the highest pitch of intensity as long as possible. The Observer remarks that the difficulty is not in destroying submarines, but in finding them and getting them within range of the implements of destruction.'
