Tho war Is to bo fought out to a dcclsixe
victory for tho Allici on tho western front.
Theto Is to bo no draw.
This was tho opinion emphatically given
by (iencral John J, Pershing, tho American
commnntlor-lii-chlcf, In nn Intel view today.
The Amerlran commnndcr has tho utmost
pnnlldenco in rt military victory for the
Allies.
ltepulylng to n question today n to re
ports circulated in tho United States that a
stnlcmnto may declop on tho western
ft out, General Pershing said:
"Oermnn propaganda, working In America
through the agency of our pacifists, would
spread this Idea among our peoplo In order
to weaken our Initiative.
"Having lost tho tactical advantage on
the Ypfos Fnllent, which they had held for
moro than two years, tho Hermans con
tlnuo to yield ground beforo the hammering
of the Iirltlsh assaults Kverywhcro on the
western front, despite tho large number of
German troops released by the Husslan
situation, Germany Is on tho defensive and
the Allies are upon tho offensive.
"America has tho resources In men and
materials, onco they nro prepared to add tho
weight which must force n military decision
against Germany."
Headquarters reports today emphasized
f-plendld progress achieved by the Ameri
can gunners In Inylng down perfect, co
ordinated nnd nccurato "curtains of fire"
In their practice
American Ambassador Sharp concluded
his first visit at the Sammeos' training camp
today with a lengthy call on Geneinl Per
shing. "The training camp." Sharp t-aid. "is
the focal point of our war preparations
The nation's spirit culmlnatei here In these

knowing Hint a united tuition was behind
