Americans Display Caution.

The Americana felt their way. as they
should, being now in the councils of
the entente. They discovered in Eng
land and France that they must return
home and secure proper organization
In Arnerica to handle the vast amount
OF manufacture and distribution, which
exceeds In magnitude a hundred-fold
any previous Undertaking Of the kind:
It cannot be built upon system of
business for profit, otherwise, 1t would
take years to get under way: II must
spring into being with raptdity born
Of necessity. Things are working out
and there is prospect of getting unity
of organization which may develop
sufficient force to control the conduct
Of the war and remedy the weakness
which arises from considering each
army fixed on q given trent and any
TRANSPORTATION a temporary makeshift
There lis the possibility of all fronts
being considered one for Offensive pur--
poses. but there we enter the arena OF
national imperialism and politics. There
seems to be urgent need for the volun-
tary and public abandonment OF this
national Imperialism in the aims OF the
war, not only for the sake of the mill
tary succezs Of the allies, but for the
future benefit Of the world.
