GERMANY’S BIG TASK
COURAGE, WITHOUT COMMON SENSE MANY GREAT FEATS ALL AT ONCE BUT CANNOT BEHAVE DECENTLY. (Received October 6, 5.43 p.m.) LONDON. October 5. “The Times,” in a leader, referring to the big task the Germans have undertaken, says that they are making a creditable stand across the north of France, trying at the same time to take Antwerp. Simultaneously they have invaded Russia. _ Their advance to the Nicmon river demonstrated their courage, not their commonsense; and they are now advancing in huge masses along a front of one hundred miles against the Russians on the Vistula. Only a nation with five million trained men could attempt so many great feats at once. They are putting up a fine performance. If they only knew how to behave decently in warfare, they would ho worthy foes.
