Berlin, Nov. 11. Major Moraht, the
famous military critic of the Berlin
Tageblatt, has joined -the optimists.
He expresses the conviction today that
the plans of the Allies have failed on
all fronts and that the Central Powers
are stronger than ever. He said:
"Chancellor von Bethann ' Hollweg
described the. situation accurately,
when he said In the Reichstag: "The
successes of the Allies on the Som
me front have not changed the gen
eral aspect of the war. We continue
victoriously to resist the pressure
from all sides and the plans of the
Allies have failed in the Balkans, as
they did in ttfe East and West. The
Chancellor simply stated the facts,
