THE HAWKE’S BAY TRIBUNE

5 P.M EDITION.

It is not to be supposed that the Kaiser’s Government is gradually getting used to the idea of disaster, or that even if .the fortunes of war deserted them altogether they would find themselves at the end of their diplomatic resources. The driving force of their war machine is far from spent. And when they have relinquished the offensive for good the Germans may still be able to put up a stiff fight in defence of their own frontiers. —Dr. E. J. Dillon.

With which is incorporated “THE HASTINGS STANDARD/ Established 1896

We may take it for granted that a strenuous effort will be put forth to effect a diplomatic diversion at the juncture most favourable to the Central Empires, They will certainly not wait uretil the last cartridge has been fired and the last fortress surrendered. They will call a halt long before the symptoms of weariness have set in, and while they have still something to offer which can be utilised as an offset to what they have to demand. - Dr. E. J. Dillon
