The writer of a very interesting communication from the front

published in Thursday's Morning Post adds a curious piece of information. It is that the Germans in high command in France and Flanders have won so few laurels that they are getting very restive. They look with anxious and jealous oyes at the publics idolatry offered to Hindenburg and Mackensen. General von Kluck and the Crown Prince are said to be specially eager to get themselves into the limelight. That is a very bad foundation for war plans, and generally wins the reward of failure. Needless to say, we can wish for nothing better than a German assault on the hugest possible scale.
