ON THE BELGIAN FRONT. Feb.
8 (by mail).—General A. De Ueuninck,
the distinguished soldier and minister
of war for Belgium, today expressed
to the correspondent of the Associated
Press the firm conviction that a
great offensive by the Germans on
the western front would be the be
ginning of the end for the Prussian
military machine. This is true, said
the general, because even If the enemy
should put his entire strenght into an
assault it was doomed to certain fail
ure in view of allied preparedness.
Having defeated the Germans in their
onslaught, the allies would be in a
position, through the balance of power
which America had brought them, to
counter with irresistible force.
The minister had been asked to dis
cuss the military situation as it ap
peared in the light of Germany’s pres
ent position and the Prussian claim
that the entente allies would be
brought to their knees. The general
received the correspondent in the
'-bateau which is being used aaexceu
Itive headquarters for the wariiepart
, | ment, and talked freely for'half an
hour or more. General de Ceunick is
; a veteran of many battles, ard lie had
j brought with him to the ministry the
I comprehensive grasp of large prob
lems, the quk-k decision and the dis
cipline which have made his reputa
tion in the Belgian army. One reads
assurance and alertness in his every
move and word.
At the out3et of the conversation
the general spoke of the close friend
ship existing between Belgium and
the United States, and referred in
the most grateful terms to the as
sistance which America has rendered
hec ally through the Red Cross, the
commission for relief in Belgium and
in other ways.
‘'The morale of the hard-pressed Bel
gians has been sustained and in
creased by the knowledge that the
•citizens of the United States were
standing with them in the battle for
freedom and justice. You have light
ened our load and enabled us to con
tinue the struggle,” said the general.
lie paused, and then added with
great feeling:
I assure you that the first tiling
Belgium will do .alter the conclusion
of peace will be to erect a monument
to her good friend.”
The general turned to the outlook
for the allied arms on the battle
field.
\\ e do not underrate the strength
! ol' our opponents,” he said. "Germany
is a military nation, a powerful na
tion, and she is not yet defeated.
Amciica, however, has brought into
the conflict the additional resources
necessary to tip the balance in our
favor, and an allied victory is as
sured. The outcome of the war now
hinges on the question of numbers,
and the superiority rests with us.
“Germany will fail in any offensive
which she may be preparing for on
the western front. The allies are
teady tor any move, and win present
an unbreakable line if the enemy is
■ going to stake everything 0n a big
attack and is calling out every re
source he can command, he will have
reached the beginning of the end when
he fails to break through, for the coun
ter strokes of the allies can result in
only one thing -defeat for Germany.
It may take some time to put the fin
ishing touches on the victory, but this
will be accomplished.
"So far as the Belgian army is con
cerned, it is prepared for eventuali
ties. The morale of the troops and
of the civilian population never has
been higher than it is today. Our sol
diers are eager to fight. At tones we
have had difficulty in restraining them
/.ntil the proper moment Tor action,
for they chafe under the restraint. But
they must be content to await devel
opments. They are only one wheel
of the great allied machine, and every
part of that machine must work in co
operation to make it run smoothly.
Whenever the call comes we shall be
waiting to respond with every atom
of strength which we have.
“The entrance of America into the
war has done much to cheer >ur
troops. The fact that the Unite-l
States is with us, both as a friend
and as a fighting ally, means to the
man in the trenches that he is not
making a vain sacrifice. He is sure of
| victory and is more eager than ever
to carry the battle to the enemy camp.
“Our confidence in the outcome of the
war has been strengthened greatly liv
the businesslike way in which the
United States government lias under
taken its task. I recently saw some
detachments of American soliders who
have come to fight with us. They
were fine, deancut men—athletic, in
telligent, and intensely energetic. It
was an inspiration to see them. There
is more hard fighting in sigh!, lmt wa
shall win.”
