MYSTERIOUS.
GERMAN LEADER ON THE
SOMME. PREPARED TO HOLD UP THE BRITISH.
New York, Aug. 16. .- The New York Times Berlin correspondent spent two evenings with the man of mystery who is in command of the- chief German armies on- the Somine. His name is unknown even to the German people, and the correspondent was not permitted to disclose it. Asked if the English offensive was weakening, this General replied: "No. Despite heavy losses, the British come back again and again. They are stubborn foes. Though the British offensive may last two months, or perhaps longer, I am prepared for a winter campaign. The British are tough, dogged, and determined, but I will not let them get past me."
