THAT SOMETHING CONSTRUCTIVE WAS IN PROCESS OF DEVELOPEMENT
INCLUDINGTHE NECESSARY CHANGES IN THE ENGLISH AND FRENCH
STANDPOINTS SHE WOULD NOT FORCE THE DECISION AGRESSIVELY.  BUT
THERE WERE GRAVE DOUBTS AS TO THE POSSIBILITY OF SUCH CIRCUMSTANCES
MATERIALIZING.
     DEALING WITH THE MILITARY SITUATION THE FIELD MARSHAL FELT
THAT SINCE ENGLAND HAD DECIDED TO MAKE THIS WAR A HEAVY
RESPONSIBILITY RESTED UPON THOSE WHO DIRECTED GERMANY'S EFFORTS IF
THEY FAILED TO CAPITALIZE UPON THE P RESENT MILITARY ADVANTAGES.
THESE ARE FELT TO BE A STRONGER AIR FORCE, ALMOST TWICE AS MANY
DIVISIONS ON THE WESTERN FRONT AS IN 1914-18, SUPERIOR ARTILLERY, AND
MORE EFFECTIVE TECHNIQUES IN MINE AND SUBARINE WARFARE.
THE FIELD MARSHAL BELIEVED THAT ENGLAND WOULD NOT BE CONVINCED
WITHOUT PUTTING IT TO THE TEST THAT GERMANY WAS ABLE IF NECESSARY
TO FIGHT SUCCESSFULLY AGAINST ENGLAN AND FRANCE.  IN CONSEQUENCE
ENGLAND WAS CONTINUING TO DEVELOP EVERY MEANS IN HER POWER TO
DESTROY GERMANY.
