say nothing Of the stores that have
been piled up, and that are described
as huge beyond the imagination of
anybody not familiar with the de-
tailed truth. That truth is one Of
the secrets of the Anglo-French
general stats.
Political necessities may have die
tated the beginning of the advance
at this time. For three months past
there has been an uncomfortable
feeling among even the best friends
of the allied cause, that some ag-
gressive performance would be
heartening ard would brace up con-
fidence. The. failure to rehabilitate
the Balkan alliance, the disaffection
in sections of Switzerland, the NUT
terings in Sweden, and the persist
ent inquiry even in America for ex-
planation of the inaction on the
western front, may we'll have moved
the allies to undertake fall CAM
paign when on the whole they would
have preferred to make the grand
effort in the spring of 1916.
But the truth about all this can
not be known; not now, perhaps
never. A combination of circum-
stances dictated that the drive
should begin now; perhaps tenta-
lively, with some feelers; perhaps
with the serious expectation Of re-
covering the ground lost when Ger
many sprung the surprise in the
early weeks of war. The accom-
plishments of the first two days
have been enough to clear away
misgivings about the ability of the
allied troops to gain ground. The
deadlock in the west was not hope
less. Germany's troops are no long
er where they can be hurried back
by the hundreds of thousands to re-
sist the new onslaught. They are
scattered along fighting front Of
hundreds of miles, much Of it now
long way into the interior of Rus
sia. Railroad facilities cannot have
been perfected as they were in old
Germany. The business is in new
phase, and the time could hardly be
better for the western smash, pro-
vided only that the allies are really
prepared to the last gaiter button
If they are, they have started the
big performance, and they intend to
win. A few days Of such victorious
advance as was won in the begin.
ming will put end to misgivings in
neutral quarters. There will be nc
plunge of Bulgaria, surrounded by
enemies, into a German alliance Of
fensive and defensive. There will
be renewal of the war fever ir
Greece and revival of confidence ir
Russia. Whether the purpose of the
present aggressive movement was
primarily military or political, it,
political effects will be of the first
importance.
