BULLDOG TENACITY OF ENGLAND MAY PROVE
DECIDING FACTOR IN GREAT EUROPEAN WAR
Kitchener's Grim Note Indicates That John Bull Has Entered
Conflict To See 1t Through and WIZ Stop At Nothing
To Break Down German Miitarism.

She has concentrated overwhelming
bodies of troops on her western ron
tier and Is practically stalking her fate
on one grand effort to crush through
to Paris by sheer weight Of numbers
before Russia on the east can endan-
ger Berlin or before the English con-
troll of the sea can sap the economic
vitals of the fatherland to such an
extent as to weaken her armies.
Probably five armies are reaching
out like vast fingers to pluck the heart
of France.
Gamble Of War.
Undoubtedly. it is in realization Of
the tremendous problem involved in
checking the force Of h onrush of
such a multitude that Lord Kitchener
spoken as he las 1t is a mere
gamble Of war whether they a be
held back. Once allow the vast forces
OF Germany to crush through at the
and there is no telling what would
happen in the sweep of the flanking
efforts that would follow in the at
tempt to divide the allies, So long as
the allies can avoid serious disaster at
any n point. e though they may
be forced gradually to give ground, it
cannot be said decisive defeat has been
sustained. in view of the tremendous
losses the attackers are likely to suffer.
The reported fall of Namur seems to
be true, though denied in some quar-
ters. Leaving out of account the init
nations that the Belgian resistance
there was not what might ave been
expected, the fact Namur has been
successfully invested raises seriously
the question whether as much reliance
is to be placed on elaborate defensive
works as some have believed. The I'M
expected resistance of the Liege forts
and the comparatively slight resistance
of the Namur forts seems to convey
the lesson that. after all, the man be-
hind the gun has much to do with it.
1t is, of course, possible that the Ger
mans rushed the Namur forts in over
whelming strength, but this eXplana-
ton can hardly be acceptable in the
light of what occurred at Liege. Why
should the Germans have rushed Ma
muir with more overwhelming force
than Liege unless they were convinced
of a different sort of a reception?
1t will probably be found when things
clear up that the fall of Namur is at
the bottom of the retirement of the left
of the allied lines to the second de-
~fensive position.
Apparently. the English troops are
fighting with their customary logged
ness. 1t would be a strange thing if
the present great battle should turn on
that same stubborn English courage
that decided Waterloo. But it is not
at all impossible.
Heavy drafts of Canadian and CO.
lonial troops to serve O. the continent
will be made and there is good reason
to believe Canadian troops will be on
the ground sooner than anticipated.

BY JOHN sNuRE.

Overshadowing all other facts with
respect to the European war, as the
developments today are reported, Is the
grim and ominous note sounded by
Lord Kitchener to the house of lords.
His warning that the war may last
three years or more and that England
is prepared to go to the utmost limit
in the effort to strike down German
militarism, serves to bring home to
Americans more fully than anything
yet, the full scope of the possibilities
in the great tragedy being staged
abroad.
This statement Of Lord Kitcheners
along with reports that Germany is
beginning the training of her youth Of
the ages Of Is and 10 years, makes it
plain that unless some unforeseen way
is found to end the war it is to be a
genuine life and death struggle for
domination in Europe and perhaps in
still wider fields.
The news of the last few days has
served to throw a clearer perspective
on this unparalleled situation. The
strategy of the campaigns can be
understood only when the vast po-
litical considerations involved are
along a 200-mile line ron Maubeuge
neal the Franco-Belgian frontier, to
the frontier of Alsace, a series of bat
ties constituting in fact one vast en-
| gagement, is raging. with it's fortunes
ebbing and flowing. Seriously re-
versed in the early operations along
this long front and crippled by the fall
of Namur, the allies have fallen back,
taken new defensive positions, called
up additional masses of reserves and
are now struggling desperately to hold
back the waves OF the German inunda-
ton.
Dozen Battles in One.
How futile it is to make predictions
as to the final outcome of such an
unprecedented struggle may be mag
ined by conceiving of his deadly
| grapple Is like unto a half dozen bat
| ties OF the Wilderness roughly CON
| nected into one. The scenes SHIFT daily,
even hourly. Now one side gains an
advantage and nov is driven back. Ii
the latest reports are to be believed,
the allies are meeting the onsets of the
Germans more successfully than they
did along their more advanced lines
and in some instances even are resuln :
ing the offensive.
But the best indication hat the al
lies lines are in grave danger of be-
ing smashed is to be gathered from
the dark o of h dispatches from
London. The English wal office is not
d%eceiving itself and apparently is
seeking to tell the truth to the public
Dispatches tell glibly of the vast
numbers engaged here and there. The
figures are not known The one thing
that is clear is that Germany is do
ing the very thing her strategists, like
Bernhard, have been writing about

GERMANS RECRUIT
AMERICAN CITIZENS
Germans Who Live In U. S
Repatriated and Drafted
In Germany.

Washington, d. c.. Aug. 31.-Ameri-
can consuls in Europe are being over
whelmed with appeals for cid from
claimants Of American citizenship who
have been forced to take up arms for
their land Of birth.
In Germany the situation is the most
complicated. for the only treaties the
United States has which touches on
this subject We're made with separate
states n principalities before the
confederation of the empire. None of
these accept first naturalization papers
as a valid obstacle against repatriation.
Many Americans by adoption who are
surgeons or physicians. mechanics or at
least material for able bodied soldiery,
have been or are about to be sent to
war. In the cases Of those who are
bona fide citizens the state depart
ment is making representations. but it
was pointed out today diplomatic
bodies move slower than recruiting
sergeants.

New Orleans, La, Aug. 31.-Dele-

conference today went on record as be-
Ing opposed to establishing a minimum

some definite action will be taken to

The conference endorsed Senator

mended that southern planters raise
less cotton and more food products.
