men, and the men are in the camps or on the
fighting line. !.
1t asked for ships, and s2,0o0,0oO,O0O worth
of ships are under construction.
1t asked for money, and money has been
forthcoming with absolutely no stint.
And now it is asking for food, and out of their
wealth the American people will give food as
generously and effectively as they have given
everything else needed in connection with vigor-
Gus prosecution of the war.
Food makes the most direct war contribution,
apart from men-one that touches every home
every day.
Next to men it calls for the greatest changes
in normal life and personal habits.
The American people have changed their
money habits and are buying bonds; they have
changed their ways of thinking about ships, and
are building a merchante marine; they have
changed their views of peace, and giving
their men for the establishment of real world
peace. And they are changing their habits IN
food They eat corn instead Of wheat, poultry ~
stead of beef and pork, and are saving sugar and
fats.
1t has taken little longer to organize this
war contribution of food chiefly because the
matter was more complicated than other war con-
tributions, and had to be brought home to more
people,
But it has been brought home, and the food
has begun to move to Europe.
In this great war work the American people
are not going to be found wanting-James H.
Collins.

The Military Situation on the West Front

Military critics are expecting gigantic attack
Oh the west front. They believe that the German
general staff utilizing divisions released from
the Russian front, is ready for mighty offens-
i've against the French and British. The purpose
of the thrust, so military critics believe, is to
cripple the Allies before the full weight of the
United States is launched.
The American people may steel themselves in
time for the new offensive. Germany is still a
strong military nation. 1t has sprung enough
surprises in this war to Justify the expectation of
q renewed attempt to smash the Allies on the
west front.
Military critics will not be surprised if the new
offensive is hurled at before this month closes.
One critic, pointing to the unter-attacks of the
Germans at Cambria where they have nuliified to
9. certain degree the gains of Gen. Byng. asks
where Germany obtained the reserves Cor her
mass attacks.
He points out that they came from the east
ern front and from man power carefully conceal
ed and conserved behind the lines on the west
front.
They were not withdrawn from the Italian
campaign. In fact. he holds that few Germans
are involved in this offensive and that the great
CT part of these troops are made up of Austrians
and other Teutonic allies.
If his Interpretation is correct, we are face
to face with situation that does not hide it's
menace. We may expect to read any day that the
Kaiser has hurled another drive against the west
ern front. We may expect this month yet to read
of sanguinary fighting.
The seriousness of this problem ought to in
tensify our preparations for the conflict and
speed up our work. The United States has hard
fighting ahead of it, The issue depends upon u.s.
Our enthusiasm must be backed up with men ana
munitions, transported to France, and ready for
the fray. We have mans size job ahead. Let us
be prepared.

REPORTS CONFLICT
state Agents Send In Stories From
Mexico That Have Government
Ohiciais eewildered.

Washington, d, c.. Jan. 1s.-Inade.
quate and even contradictory reports
concerning Villas operations in Mex
leo have bewildered administration
oficials and 1t is believed resulted in
the delay In ordering the withdrawal
Of General Pershing's forces. One re-
port received at the state department
today said the Carranza forces had
dispsrsed the Villa bands in the Par
sfai district. II Another said Villa has
begun an attack on Chihuahua City.
Both reports were from state depart
ment agents.
The war department was without
any special reports from General
Funston, who completed yesterday an
inspection Of the punitive expedition.
News dispatches that quoted him as
saying that no raids on the American
border appeared probable and that in
the event Of the withdrawal of Gen
eral Pershing's force there would be
available sumcient regular troops to
forestall any hostile movements from
Mexico, were taken as an indication
that the general might renew his rec.
ommendation that the troops be
brought out Of Mexico.
