NEW CONFIDENCE IN WAITS OUTCOME [Continued From First Page.] been failures. But no note of pes simism had reached this government from either England or France re specting the difiiculties faced by their forces, it was asserted. At the same time, no assurances have been re ceived that the war is approaching an early end, although in no quarter is it doubted that Germany would seize any opportunity for concluding peace on the basis of the status quo ante bellum. Baker Confident "There isn't a thing to Justify pes simism," Secretary of War Baker declared to-day. "On the contrary, the arrangements made by the Brit ish and French on the western front, together with the splendid progress being made by the American troops, afford a basis for an entirely different attitude. I feel more than cheerful. I am getting more and more con fident every day of our power and the ultimate triumph of our cause." When asked about the returned military "observers" who are cred ited with saying the German lines were invincible, Mr. Baker said: ."We got no such information. I think I have as much access to what . K°' n f on over there as anybody. iV.:litary reports of all kinds come to me. And I haven't heard or read a thing to bear out the stories of a lack of morale and hopelessness in the trenches. Things are getting better every day. We are moving forward." Military men, however, who viewed the situation from a purely profes sional standpoint stated that neither the allied armies nor their navies presented any prospect of a "knock out" blow; that the war, if pressed to a strict military decision, involv ing the complete defeat of Germany, will continue at least two years longer, unless "something snaps somewhere." Situation In Britain An authority -with a nation-wide reputation said: "Conditions in Ireland and the labor situation in England are hold ing the British army in Britain. The feeling in Ireland is vcrv bitter, and England does not feel that it would be safe to withdraw from the coun try forces that would be availble to meet any emergency in Ireland. For the same reason she hesitates to abandon the labor situation to itself, ns there Is considerable unrest and discontent among the working people. "Therefore England has about ap proached the limit of the troops she can spare for the western front, which is considerably short of the number necessary to create the pre ponderance of force which is essen tial to the effort of breaking the German lines. In addition to the Irish and labor considerations, Eng land must maintain at home a very powerful force to prevent the very possibility of what some persons have predicted, namely, an invasion of England by a German army. Franco Has Called I.ast Man "France, as the world knows, has called to the colors her last man, and this does net mean the last French man in France merely, but the last man available for military service she possesses in every part of the world. There is no lack of war spirit, or marvelous morale, in France, and her economic problems are not in soluble. But she must look to the United States or to Italy for troops to help her establish that superioritv in strength without which the Ger man lines cannot be broken. "Russia is not playing out, but Russia is unable to employ now, and probably will not be able to employ for a considerable time, any strength proportionate to her resources. De spite contrary reports, the Russian situation from a military viewpoint is not even approaching a crisis. She is a great, undigested nation, and one part of her gets together when another part plays out. Germany has done her utmost already to force Russia out of tho war, and has failed. View Russia Unbeatable "So long as Russia remains in the war Germany will be compelled to maintin enormous forces on the east ern front; she lacks sufficient troops to penetrate Russia far enough to force a decision with that countrv. Russia is too great; her soldiers, whether beaten or panic-stricken, may retreat, and continue to retreat, but there is a limit to Germany's pursu ing them. Besides, fresh forces are always available in Russia. "The serious danger from Russia consists of the possibility of the pro visional government seeking to in duce the allies to start peace nego tiations. Russia realizes the diffi culties of attempting to organize a new government along democratic lines and at the same time fighting the most disastrous war in the world's history. She knows if peace were restored her problems would be infinitely easier of solution." U. S. URGED TO EXECUTE SPIES (Continued From First Page.) States into the war English officials and officials of the United States De partment of Justice have been closely co-operating along these and other related lines and the American agents have been furnished with much information, not only In re gard to persons but in regard vs methods of catching those who arc working for Berlin. There is a general feeling in Lon don that the execution of the first spies caught would go far in the United States toward persuading others, Germans as well as neutrals, that such work is extremely hazard ous and very likely to have dis astrous results. Scotland Yard has the greatest re spect for tho abilities and efficiency of the American police but fe!s that they would probably be able to accomplish much more if they had more power to act in emergencies. Moreover it is realized that the task before the American spy catchers is even more difficult than it has been for those of England. In tho first place there are more Germans in the United States than there ever has been in England and then, they have more room to work in and more avenues of communication. Use Wireless The compact wireless apparatus, easily moved about and within con tainers that disguise its real natuie, is to be especially guarded against, Scotland Yard tells. Considerable difficulty has been experienced here with the wireless and the police now freely employ an instrument through the use of which these enemy in struments are detected. Scotland Yard is intensely interested in the work that is being done in the United States to discover how the Germans found out when American destroyers were due in English wa ters and how they discovered the location of the ocean rendezvous of the transports bearing the first Am erican contingent. Obviously the English officials say, German spies are in a position to become familiar with the most secret of secrets in Washington and they are anxious to render any assistance they can to ward weeding them out. Wholesale internment of Germans will not solve the problem. England has not interned all her German residents but the police are abso lutely sure of the connections of thoso allowed to remain at largo. HARRISBURG TELEGRAPH Germans Slow to Turn Gold Over to Kaiser Amsterdam, July 27.—The daily recurring public notices printed in conspicuous type in German news papers entreating citizens to aid the fatherland by giving it their gold evi dently is insufficient of productive results. The Weser Zeitrung, of Bre men. publishes a renewed appeal, complaining especially that the well to-do public still fails to realize the situation and that all gold must be handed in. The newspapers cites examples of members of the German Imperial and royal princely houses sacrificing their gold and Jewelry and says com i potent authorities calculate that three to four hundred million gold coins are being obstinately hoarded in Germany, while the value of gold ornaments is estimated at a billion marks. The Weser Zeitung says the public' often asks whether gold cannot be loaned instead of given to the Ger man imperial bank. The answer is no, because the law demands gold as a cover for paper money, and that it must be in bars or coin. STEEL FOR NEW SHIPS OX WAY New York, July 27.

C.. July 27.—Work on the food control bill was con tinued to-day by the conference com mittee while both' Senate and House were in recess awaiting the conferees' report. An agreement may be reached by to-night, according to some of the conferees, most of whom, however, contenting themselves with the prediction that there would be prompt action. An over-night development which save hope of having the bill per fected and in President Wilson'shands next week was the action of House Republicans, meeting informally, in agreeing to abandon the proposed light, led by Minority Leader Mann, for the creation of a congressional committee on war expenditures, which Is opposed by the President. The Senate, however, may yet fight for its proposal. i Remove Those Hairs Roots and All (Absolutely New Method) The new way to remove disfiguring growth of superfluous hair, roots and all, will astonish and delight you.
