FIGHTING DONE AND
SAYS R
BY CHARLES EDWARD RUSSELL
Washington, April 5.-But there is
one thing, brethren, we ought to be
mighty careful about, now that we
have this job on our hands and see
he size of it.
We ought to look for the enemy
in disguise and look out just as much
for the mOIusk that talks like a
man.
It is plain now that we are up
against both.
Working together or singly they
are trying to put over scheme that
would take all the punch out of our
entry in the war and make this ma
ton a bundle of old clothes on a
stick put up in a field in order to
scare the little brides.
A very strong movement is plan
ned against congress to keep us from
sending any troops abroad and to
cOnfine our share in the war to sup
plying money, chocolate drops and
good wishes.
It is not merely a thing talked
about; it is framed up and ready to
be tackled upon the army apprOpria-
ton bill the minute that is reported,
and there are about enough half-wit-
ted OF haIf-hearted congressman to
make the thing likely to get across.
Give our allies money, but no men!
That is to say, hire somebody else to
fight for US! Get substitutes! Do
the worlds historic stunt in side step
ping! Hire somebody to take the
risk we are afraid to take and per-
form the duty we are too ffabby to
perform! Hire somebody else to
stand in the trenches and beat back
Prussian barbarism, but don't take
us from our dinners and tea-parties,
our tangoes and our movies!
That's the idea, that's what they

until we have trained here an army
Of at least 1 100000 men.
It is the limit of laundering if it is
on the level, and the limit of a pro-
German play, if it isn't sincere.
Which is which, you can guess if you
note that all the prO-German agen-
cies are hot for it.
If we waited for an army of a mil
lion under such conditions we should
wait until perditiOn CONCEALED! Who
would enlist merely to pass months
or years in a training camp, to parade
in the sun and pave the earth with
cigaret butts? The men that would
feel any enthusiasm over such a
prospect at a time while the fate of
the world is being decided would not
be worth having.
The effect here of any such bone
head business would be to entinguish
the fine feeling now burning in this
nation, to do away with any chance
for us to be of actual use in the war
and to fill the world with laughter at
our expense.
The effect in Germany would be to
show the German fire eaters they
were perfectly right in thinking we
had gone soft in body and dOtty in
mind.
The effect on the war would be to
PROLONG it. The effect on the
allies would be profoundly to dis
courage them.
Why should we want to fool with
a seVen-baTeled disaster like that?
The astounding revelations of the
American correspondents lately re-
turned from Germany ought to teach
US our lesson. In Berlin all men be-
Geve that long before we could en-
list, train, equip and send to Europe
a single soldier, Germany will have
won the war and be ready then to
beat us to bits and fill it's empty
treasury from our hOrdes Of gold.

BERLIN, (via wireless to the

ia retreating to victory: another
master stroke has been achieved by
Field Marshal Won Hindenburg and
the entente's plans for great spring
offensive have been destroyed.
This. In brief, Is the official expla-
nation given for the first time today
t., the United Press. OF Germanys
retirement on the western front. Ger
many is retreating to victory Do
cause her armies are taxing tneH
places in new positions. long Pre-
pared.
Those positions embody the newest
lessons OF the war. They wlA toTco
the enemy to learn their uade ~
over again. They would astound tac-
ticians IL their full detail were re-
yealed, according to German oniciais.
They may effect a Transformation ol
the entire character of the war
In the meantime Germany has peen
clearing the whole country In front
of these new positions. They are
miles back of the present line. The
whole country intervening between
the old German line and the new one
has by necessity of war and neces-
sity OF the new German plans been
made a wilderness. Roads have been
DESTROYED; the whole terrain mas
been made difficult Of passage. All
means of communication have been
effaced. Some villages have utterly
dirappeared. Some have been only
partlv wrecked Not only has free
zone Of FIRE been obtained by such
a procedure. but the enemy must
come forward slowly over ground 30
hazardous of passage.
In their new positions the German
forces will face an enemy either
hurriedly brought up over this DIM
cult wilderness and, because or this
hurry, insufficiently supplied. or an
enemy which has come forward very
slowly because of necessity OF build
ing up the country.
In either event the enemy VIII be
at disadvantage. Months OF toll by
q million German soldiers have been
expended in perfecting the new Ger
man line. The German forces Will
be entrenched in the strongest pos
sfble defenses, protected by forests
of barbed wire, entanglements. A
free fire zone in front will give them
clear view Of the enemy. Guns have
been carefully ranged over all this
foref1eld. The enemy must come up:
must dig itself IN: must arrange

of food and Of supplies over
the wilderness left behind by the
Germans in their retreat. The allies
