Military Authorities and Ob
servers Confident Huns
Cannot Win on Front
'Washington, July 12—Military au
thorities and observers In Washing
ton await with supreme confidence
any blow the Germans may strike in
the west. They regard the situation
in France as entirely safe.
There was a time last spring when
doubt existed at to whether the Allies
would be able to weather the tempest
of the Teuton assault until America
could end an adequate military force
to their assistance. This doubt "how
has been dispelled, and once more the
slogan can go forth:
'They nhull not puNfi!'"
When the German blow falls v as it
may any day now, ground undoubted
ly will be griven here and there, but
there will be no break through to
any apprecfable extent and the way
to Paris, to Amiens and to the Chan
nel ports will be found blocked more
securely than at any time since the
Germans seized the initiative on the
western frcnt.
America Block* Way
To appreciate this fact U. must be
understood that when the' Germans
first struck on March 21 last, the
American fighting force in France
was a negligible quantity compared
to what It Is to-day. Only a few scat
tered groups of American engineers
were able to take up arms to assist
the British when the Kaiser's hosts
hit with such Impressive power
along the Somme and in the fields of
Picardy.
Since the German drive began the
United States has transported ap
proximately three-quarters of a mil
lion troops to France and England,
where those not actually In the fight
ing zone are within a few hours' call.
Nearly all of these more than seven
hundred thousand men are in the
fighting class, for there had been an
unusually high percentage of non
combatants necessarily in the first of
the American troop shipments last
year.
Hlndenburg and Ludendorff, with
all their 'combing out" and their
abandonment of the eastern front,
have not been able to match any
thing like the force which America
has sent to fight with the British, the
French and the Italians.

GERMANY'S FLEET
PUZZLE TO HEADS
OF ALLIED NAVIES
Quandary Over Number of
Russian War Vessels Seized
After the Collapse
Washington, July 12 —Allied and
American naval officials are unable
to form any accurate estimate of
the present strength of the German
battle fleet, it was said yesterday by
Admiral Benson, chief of naval oper
ations.
Not only are reports as to what
Germany has built or is building
conflicting, but every effort to secure
positive information in regard to
the whereabouts and condition of
the Russian fleet in the Black and
Baltic seas, has met with failure.
Naval officials are particularly In
terested in the dreadnaughts and
battle cruisers* Germany may have
secured by seizure of the Russian
fleet. At least eight modern battle
ships were in the Baltic and Black
seas and four battle cruisers were
under construction at points in the
Gulf of Finland when the Russian
collapse came.
It is estimated that If Germany
ha?, obtained all Russian war craft
and succeeded in putting them into
fighting condition, she has been able
to increase the strength of her high
seas fleet by twenty-five per cent.
Admiral Benson was quite positive,
however, of the ability of the Allied
fleets to deal with the enemy should
he venture out.
The chief of operations said that
information as to the Russian Baltic
fleet was unreliable in the extreme.
He was particularly interested in the
four battle cruisers which were
scheduled for completion in the win
ter of 1917, but which undoubtedly
were greatly delayed by the Russian
collapse.
The Germans now are in control
of the ports where the ships were
laid down. Rome reports say these
and other Russian craft have been
taken over and fitted for action,
while others declare many of the
vessels which were in commission
were destroyed by their crews to pre
vent their falling into the German
hands.
Officials here are convinced that
Germany has been building capital
ships continuously since the out
break of the war.
