"Getting What She Wanted."
('Times" Service.) LONDON, Oct. 4. Colonel Bepingto , "Times' " military expert, says:- • "The culminating point in the German victories was reached in the autumn of 1915, but the enemy lacked sufficient sense to try to 'finish Eussia or attempt peace negotiations. Subsequently he expended his last vigour at Verdun, and is now compelled to admit he is on the down grade by permitting Allied offensives on all fronts. "Moreover, we have not yet arrived at our maximum strength. Our losses have been made good, our guns are increasing and our daily ammunition supply exeeeds requirements. "Not even the German censorship is able to silence the anguished wail over the best hammering the Prussians have received since Ligny. But the Somme offensive is child's play compared to what is coming when Britain and Eussia have attained their full strength. "Germany wanted war —and she is having it."
