PERSHING'S VICTORY RECIPE

GENERAL PERSHINGS proverbial
~ economy of words is happily not too
ri~id to deter him from making the right
remark at precisely the right time. In
the brief, soldier-like statement which he
consented to give out in Paris the other
day he declared that the war "can only
be won by striking hard and forceful
blows, not otherwise"
That this is no mere stereotyped gen.
eralization the actual facts of the moment
strikingly prove. Hard and forceful
blows" last week gave the Franco. British
troops Langemarck and the long.coveted
Hill No. 20 on the western front. Until
the Somme advance began, more than a
year ago, it was the German dream that
her defensive methods could be overcome
by no stroke of modern warfare. More.
over, there were pessimists in Allied cir
cles who could not see beyond dead.
lock.
Anglo-trench bravery, generalship and
resources have now shattered that hone.
less theory. Blows which the Teuton lines
cannot withstand are delivered almost
daily. A new drive" that halts after but
a few hundred yards of gain for civiliza.
ton is no testimony of German invulner-
ability. Military experts now know that
on the strength of the blow depends the
extent of advance. We are not facing i'm
possibilities, but problem that men and
munitions can concretely solve
The role which America must play is
thus obvious and exactly as stated by
General Pershng. Hard and forceful
blows can bring our hopes to fruition.
The submarine situation has seemingly
passed the critical stage. Even the Rus
sian debacle takes a secondary place. Ac.
celebrating the speed and scope of our
Allies already titanic energies in the West
Is the evident receipt for victory.
