By Cable —Press Association —Copyright,
Australian and N.Z. Cable Association,
LONDON, July 20. The Berlin correspondent of the “Times” says piquant revelations are contained in the report of the .Reichstag Committee regarding the causes - of- the German failure in 1918. It is admitted that the war was really lost on July 15, when the offensive against Rheims failed. Yet it is disclosed that long .afterwards - FieldMarshall von Hindcnburg continued to proclaim that Germany could win on French soil, and dictate peace terms, and the German foreign policy was shaped accordingly. 'The Committee, however, declares that General Headquarters acted in good faith in clinging, as long as possible, to tho hope of a satisfactory military peace. The Government, it adds, trusted the judgment of General Headquarters till it perceived itself, the impossibility of victory.
