ALLIES SUPERIORITY.
MEN, TANKS, AND GUNS. GLOOMY GERMAN VIEW. (Received 1.80 tun.) United Service. LONDON, Sept. 80. The Cologne Gazette, commenting on the situation, pessimistically points out that the Allies, with enviable secrecy, have secured a numerical superiority in tanks, man-power, and gun-power, and the Germans can no longer hope to change this. ' The correspondent remarks:— ib ample evidence that overwhelming fear grips the enemy commanders. Their manpower and gun-power have dwindled since July as never before. Still more important, morale has sunk low and their only hope of averting a major catastrophe is in finding a large number of fresh good troops. Tho long campaign has tried and tired everyone except, the American, who overshadow the scene as an unknown quantity. The French, the British, arid the Germans mutually admit weariness.
