There is certainly reason to ask whether tlio process of transferring troops on the West to East Fiiissia was not begun too soon, and, indeed, before the decision in France had been obtained. We certainly achieved our purpose of driving the enemy from East Prussia and the other provinces in the East. On the other hand, we paid for it by being too weak to make strategic use of the tactical victoiy we had al- ready gained in the decisive Battle of the Marne, and, as we c^in see to-day, this fail-... ure was partially responsible for the issue of the whole war. It is impossible to say, once and for all, how long one theater of war may be left uncovered or protected with weak defense troops only in order that victor}' may be secured in some other theater. It depends upon all manner of cir- cumstances — the enemy's intentions and strength, the importance of the areas to be evacuated to the operations in general, and the chances of transferring troops to the threat- ened regions in time. As a general principle, it may be said that an area may be surrendered for any time, as long as the enemy is not in a position to extract such great advantages from PRINCIPLP]S OF THE OFFENSIVE 187 his occupation that no victory at another point, however decisive, can ever be sufficient compen- sation.
