The American Democracy
If the RUSSIAN democracy mas de-
ciaed TO apanaon the struggle against
.liiii.ary autocracy, the American de-
inocracy Is Iaklng It up. ms Is The
most momentous TACT OF the year,
wnlen has Iransposed the whole stu
alton. There is no more powerful
country i'll the world than the United
States, with their gigantic resources
ana lndomitabie people and If Russia
as out, America is coming in with
Dotn arms.
III this is the worst moment, it is
because Russia has stepped out and
America is only preparing to come in
fter army is not yet ready and her ton
mage is unbullt; but With every hour
mat passes the gap formed by Rus
sias retirement will be filled by the
valiant sons of the great American re-
public. Germany knows it and Austria
knows it. Hence the desperate eff
forts to force the issue before Amer
lea Is ready. They will {. not succeed
but we must be prepared tor greater
efforts and greater sacrifices. 1t is no
time to cover or falter.
Great Brltain's will is as tempered
steel and will bear right to the END.
There must be a further drain upon
oru man-power in order to sustain the
additional burden until the American
army arrives.
No Panic
There is no ground for panic. Even
nSw, after We have sent troops to-
Lazy, the allies have marked superb
or.ty in NUMBERS in France and Elan
ders and considerable reserves at
home.
Much greater progress has been
made IN man-power in the last few
months than either our friends or our
foes realize, but it is not enough to
enable US to face the new contingen-
cies without anxiety. The problem OF
man-power, however, does not end
with the army. Victory now is ques-
ton of tonnage. Nothing can defeat
us but the shortage of tonnage, and
the advent of the United States has
increased the tonnage problem enor-
mously Germany has gambled on
Americas failure to transport her
army to Europe. The Prussian claim
is that autocracy alone can do things.
Honor at Stake
1.-The honor of democracy is at stake
and | do not doubt that the Prussians
will be disillusioned, but both America
and rGeat Britain will have to strain
their resources to the utmost to in {.
crease their tonnage. The fact that
American tonnage will be absorbed in
the transport of their own armies
us to increase our responsible
tiles in assisting France and Italy
with the transportation of essential
to their shores.
In order to obtain the necessary /
men for this object, we must interfere
to even a greater extent. than hereto
fore with. the industries not absolutely
essential to the prosecution of the
war"
Premier Lloyd-George in conclu- !
sion, emphasized how the country
could aid by further economizing and !
in the increase of home production.
I'VE must strip even bearer for the
fight" he declared.
In his reference to the recent letter
of the marquis of Lansdowne, Mr..
yd-George said:
Refers to lansdowne
81 now understand that all our anx-
ieties concerning this epistle were
that the marquis of Lans-
Lowne did not intend to convey the
which his words might rea-
sonably bear. and that all the time he
was in complete agreement with
President Wilson's message. Now the
