HOPE FOR EARLY PEACE IS SMALL Long Struggle Certain Before j Kaiser's Legions Are Whipped By Associated Press Washington, July 26.—N0 attempt Is made here to minimize the serious ness of the situation in the war thea ters of Europe. The United States is in the war and will go through with It, but any hope of a short has gone glimmering with tne apparent collapse of the Russian war machine. The development was not unexpected by many army of crs. When the offensive of July I was started by the Russian forces the most frequent comment heard here was that it was probably the dying kick of the old Russian ma chine. Most observers were frankly skeptical that it could produce any decided result. For the United States the Russian collapse may have an immediate and direct bearing. It will, if the Ger man general staff presses its advan tage, release additional German forces to bolster up the western front, where American troops are to be engaged. The German line in the west has not been seriously impaired at any poins. officers here believe. They do not claim to know specifically the situa tion all along the battlefront. but they are unable to see that the Brit ish and French have wrested from the Germans any key position oi fcuch Importance that it can be used iKext year to hurl the enemy back toward the Rhine. Germans Gain Strategic Advantage It has been noted, in fact, that the one strategic advantage gained in recent fighting was gained by the Germans. Many officers here believe that when a small sector of the Brit ish line in Belgium was overwhelmed and its defenders nearly all captured or killed, the Germans improved the situation on their weakest frorit ma terially. That view is based on the opinion that the only hope of decisive attainments for the Allies in the west lies in rolling up the German right flank where It reaches the sea n Belgium. If that could be done, it is argued, the U-boat bases could be stampeded out and the \#toly offensive Instrument of the Germans be eliml inated or so seriously impaired as to make it ineffective. The big question is whether It could be done. It would require combined army and navy operations on that part of the Belgian coast held by the Germans, for it would be necessary to force a landing behind their line and to drive the whole right flank back from the sea as a result. The price of a victory of this na ture against the U-boats and German shore batteries probably would be ap palling. and there is nothing to indi cate that the effort is being seriously Says Fine For Sore Burning, Inflamed Feet Don't worry when your feet smart and burn and ache and feel sore all day long.

THURSDAY EVENING, considered at the present. It cannot be questioned, however, that many army men. both in Great Britain and the United States, favor some such desperate attempt to bring the strug gle to a conclusion. Situation Dark In France Reports received from France, offi cial and unofficial, so far as known, give no cheering picture of what must be done. There appears to be no doubt that the Allied line can stand against any force Germany can bring against it. Even the Russian dis aster does not affect that situation. But to gather the necessary strength for a successful offensive will take time and ample sea transportation fa cilities if the United States is to fur nish the needed surplus of men. air planes, munition and food. The transportation problems before the United States, both on land and sea, are constantly Increasing in scope. It seems to be certain now that whole railroad systems will have to be set up in France to give the American line the flow of war ma terial and men that it must have to press home an attack. German Lines Impregnable There is an old military rule that a fortified position cannot be taken oy direct attack, but must be turned or isolated entirely. Some observers here say the allied offensive has con sisted only of direct attacks against a line of fortifications stronger than any fort of former days. The maze of trenches, entangle ments. armored strong posts and for tified villages extends miles back oi < the front on both sides, so that, jn I effect, a fortified belt stretches from I the sea to the Swiss border that is i perhaps more than 100 miles wide. It is the belief of some military j , men here that no breach can be made for many months through the Ger man line of sufficient width to per- ! mlt such operations in the rear as would force a rolling up of the entire German front. Admitting all these points, however. | there is no sign of discouragement among American officials. President i Wilson's declaration that the nation. I not merely an army, must be made ready for war. is being carried out j determinedly and apparently with j confidence that in time men and sup- i plies can be got to France in suffi- i cient force to make certain the re- j suit. 25 British Vessels Sunk by Submarines During the Last Week London.

U.S. ARMY TRIES TRENCH DIGGING Bovs in France Enter Work With Much En thusiasm American Training Camp In France. July 26.—There was greater acUvlty In the -training camp yester day than at any time since the American troops reached France. The preliminary arrangements hav ing been completed, actual intensive work was begun. There is no dis position by any of the American commanders to belittle the amount of work necessary to bring their men up to the highest European standards, but the spirit with which the troops have undertaken this work has encouraged the highest hopes of early efficiency. Trenches were being dug yester day byway of practice with an en thusiasm almost equal to that with which soldiers dig themselves In un der actual artillery Are. These trenches were of fuli depth and were duplicatee of certain sections of tho front line, consisting of front, or fire, trenches, support and reserve trenches, with intricate communica tion trenches connecUng them. The Americans tvere digging yesterday Just as if they hoped soon to be fighting. Yesterday the marines got under way with their digging, and they were wiring themselves in to-day behind great Barriers of barbed metal entanglements, for In every possible way the intensive training is intended to approximate opera tions under actual war conditions. Both offensive and defensive tactics i will be Employed, and some lively < sham battles with grenades, bay onets and trench motors soon will take place. Already dummies have been constructed for bayonet prac tice. and the men are being taught JULY 26, 1917. the six most vital points for at tack. The Americans are highly amused at the stories of how the French decorate and paint their dummies i e . the G ®rman Emperor. „ wH'Hdenburg and other enemy notables, and each company is searching its ranks for embryo art ists in that line. Practice in trench fighting will not wholly replace the route marches or hikes, for the hardening process must continue all the time. Already the men's packs weigh In the neighborhood of fifty pounds,but when finally they are equipped for the trenches, with steel helmets and an extra kit, these packs may weigh eighty pounds, equaling those car ried by the British troops. The American soldiers are call ing for rending matter, and it has been suggested that Americans aft er reading magazines or other peri odicals drop them in the post office with a one-cent stamp. The govern ment forwards theni promptly to the troops In the field. The men are also looking forward to the establtsh ment of Y. M. C. A. huts at the camp, and efrorta are being made to hurry their construcUon. Lemon Juice * For Freckles GlrlsT Make beauty lotion at home for a few centa.
