Voluntary Household Economy and

islation Insures Final Success
for the Allies

lingtOn.-America will win the
war, Herbert Hoover declared in a
statement Saturday, because Of its SUI
perior resources and through the abil-
ity Of the American people to organize.
The success, already evident. of the
nations voluntary food conservation
effort, Mr. Hoover said, points to "a
final victory
Germany accomplished less in this
! direction in twelve months" said Mr..
| Hoover, than our people have in four.
The only need of legislation and au
thority is to curb those who would
profit by this voluntary movement
More than two million women, Mr..
Hoover announced, have enrolled as
members of the food administration
and pledged themselves to follow its
directions as to saving foOd within the
household Within sixty Gays, ne said,
many more millions will have become
members.

the outcome for the American people

cess in this war is a question of re-
sources and the will and ability of the
people to organize themselves to use
them rightly and to endure. Many
thinking Americans and the whole
world has been watching anxiOusly the
last four months in the fear that dem
ocratic America could not organize to
meet autocratic Germany. Germany
has been confident that it could not
be done.
Contrary proof is Immediately at
our door and our people have already
demonstrated their ability to mobilize,
endure and prepare voluntar-
lily and efficiently in many directions
and upon a mere word of inspiration.

RUSSIAN FRONTIER CLOSED.
Plan to Shut Out Suspects and Prevent
Escape of Spies.

Petrograd.-The provisional govern
ment, in view of the existing circum-
stances, has issued a decree closing
the frontiers of Russia until August
10. inclusive, both for persons desir-
ing to enter and those wishing to
leave the country. The only excep-
tons will be persons holding diplo-
matte passports and diplomatic
cOuriers.
The decision to close the frontiers
is due TO desire to shut out sus-
poets and undesirables who are flock
ing into Russia, and to prevent the
departure of many spies and criminals
not at large whom the government de-
Sires to arrest.

HOPE Of SHORT WAR
DASHED BY RUSSIA
ARMY AUTHORITIES RECOGNIZE
THAT MONTHS MUST ELAPsE
BEFORE VICTORY CAN COME
Russian Collapse viii Release German
Forces to Bolster UP Teuton Line
on Western Front, Where Ameri-
can Troops Are to Be Engaged.

Washington.-No attempt is made
here 10 minimize the seriousness of
the situation in the war theatres In
Europe. The United States is In the
war and Will 20 through with 1t; but
any hope Of short struggle has gone
gllmmering with the apparent almost
complete collapse of the Russian war
machine.
The development was not unexpect-
ed by many army officers. When the
offensive of July l was started by
the Russian forces, the most frequent
comment heard here was that it was
probably the dying kick of the old
Russian machine.
For the United States the Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. 1t will, If the German
general stan presses its advantage. re-
lease additional German forces to boil
ster up the western front. where the
American troops are to be engaged.
The German line in the west has not
been seriously impaired at any point,
officials here believe.
Germans Improve Weakest Front.
IL has been noted. in fact, that the
one strategic advantage gained in re-
cens lighting was gained by the Ger
mans. Many officers here believe that
when small sector of the British line
Ia Belgium was overwhelmed the Ger
mans improved their weakest front
That view is based on
opinion that the only hope Of decisive
nttanments for the allies in the west
lies In rolling up the German right
flank where II reaches the sea in Bel
GUM.
IL that could be DONE ii is argued
hat the U-boat bases could be stamped
)ut and the only offensive instrument
II the Germans be eliminated entirely
,r made ineffective.
II would require combined army and
navy operations, for II would be neces-
AIRY to force n landing behind the Ger ,
nan line and force the whole right I
Tank back from the sea as result ,
The price of such Il victory against t
he U-boats and German shore bat /
cries probably would be appalling, and =

fort is being seriously considered.

We would suggest that perhaps it is
best that the bounds of reason and
