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.

Congress May Reach an
Agreement on Food Bill
After All-day Session
Washingtln, D. 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.
