It would be 11 mlntnUe however, to as sume, that the Germans arc defeated nbout Vpres or Hint tho Cnlcnlc nrmlcs are finally victorious. The lulvsiiitncc, so far as tiny him accrued, lies with the Germans, for they liavo taken n ltircc slice of I'rnnce. Hut they havo not hiokcn throuch. In spite of tho Rieat sacrifice of life, the general situation remains unchanged. There has been n shiftinu of the trench lines and that is about nil the physical change that hns taken plncc. Hut in spite of the deadlock, the Ricnt Plcardy battle must havo n heartening effect on all tho nations fighting tho Kal or. Wo know now that Franro nml Englnn I nrc strong enough to hold the line until America enn send het men In lulcnuatc numbers to affect the result. The man-power of Germany and Aus tria is limited. The drain upon It cannot go on forever. There must rmno n time when tho sb.e of tho armies tho Kaiser Can put in the field will become .Miinltor Mid smaller. America nlon- can muster ns big n force as Germany and Austria together at their best. This force, com bined with the Fienrh and English, will be sufficient to compel i decision on the battlefield. "The morale of Gcrninny from now on is bound to suffer progressive deteriora tion, for tho fact that America u really in the war enn no longer be concealed from the Gei man. people. When our sol diora first came in contact with the Ger mans they insisted thnt our men wcic Englishmen in disguise. "For," said they, "the Kaiser lias told us that the subma rines would make it impossible for Amer ica to henil any troops to Kurope." The failure of the submarine campaign is bound to react upon German sentirricnt, and as the fnct becomes generally known throughout Germnny that Americans in increasing numbers i.re reaching France ccry week and taking their places In tho trenches tho war will enter on its final stage. We must not count on German de moralization, but must assume that we are fighting an alert and hopeful aimy confident of ultimate victory. There is no prospect of success otherwise. Neither must wo be deceived by talk of peace, which is bound to be heard in the near future following tbp German fnil ute nt Ypics. Such tnlk has been put afloat after every check in the German advance. The Gcimnns nre playing a game of seesaw. First they try for peace by decisive victories and then they try for peace by negotiation. Plausible and sophistical propositions for peace without indemnities nnd with out annexations save wbeic tho people "want to be annexed" will bo launched. Some weaklings will be lendy to make peace on any terms in order that tho slaughter may cease. 15ut the rest of us know that a German pence would be only the preliminary to more slaughter in tho futuie and are convinced that there is no safety for any nation so long as tho Gorman army can lay down, its weapons with a reputation for invincibil ity nt heme. Witness Russia and liu mania. In the meantime.' the fighting will go on. An attempt will be made to break through at another point. The Allied strategists must he trusted to foresee whore the blow is to fall and to be prc pnied to resist it. And our men must bo rushed across the ocenn with all possi ble speed to strengthen the resistance and to transform the defensive into nn irro sistiblo offensive that will drive tho Ger mans out of Franco and Uelgium across tho Rhino. Peace made with the Allied armies on Gormnn soil is the kind of peace that is likely to be permanent.

Those who tiro forever marveling nt the lack of Interest and inspiration manifested In America through all tho cumulative reactions of tho war huvo wondered ic cently whether tho loason lies in tho inad equacy of tho words of our language t-i convey a tcnte of tiie terror and majesty of the piocesscs through which tho world moves to Its deliverance.

Similar words, those ,lu.t loll like bells in memory, wore pinned ir all their radiance to .Walter Johnson, tho Kansas Cyclone and Smokcball King of bleseed memory, and to Trjs Speaker and innumerable others. These men wero loved, of touree They had n right to be.
