time the Intervention Of the United

As the situation stands at present,
with the United States adding her
mighty power to the common lot, and
with still unextinguished hope that
the Muscovites may be brought back
TO their old aggressive fighting. men
belonging to the inner circles Of Eur
rope affirm their belief that the entente
allies will be able to confront Hlnden-
burg with a far harsher problem in
1918 than they could have hoped to
put up to him in 1917.
Next spring the British army will
still be at top strength, for In the past
summer Haig has put forth nothing
like his maximum effort, and In con-
sequence has suffered losses far below
the figures anticipated at the British
war office. When II was seen that the
Russian army must drop out Of all
offensive plans this summer and that
Germany would be able to develop an
unexpected strength upon the western
front. the FrnncoB British policy natur-
ally became more conservative. The
building up Of the American armies
has confirmed the wisdom of this
course, which looks to the accumula-
ton Of an irresistible power before the
last continuous, annihilating blows are
delivered upon all possible fronts.
