In discussing the entry OF the United
States into the war. future active par
ticfpation. and especially the prepara-
ton essential to practical effectiveness
in battle. all officials Of authority famil-
lar with actual conditions agree upon
one proposition, namely:
That the country at large must not
underestimate the task ahead. it's at
tendant difficulties nor the personal
sacrifices yet to be made by all the peo-
pie of the land. In thus holding they
dlsclaim sounding a note of pessimlsm
as to the outcome. In agreement with
the allies. they realize that the war
viii be won because it must be won;
because there is no other thinkable re-
suit for civilization.
These officials get their opinion of the
seriousness of the future from report
of American officers in France. from
the earnest representations of British.
French. Italian and Russian omcers
who have been on the firing line and
from countless sources of private and
semi official communication. While en-
couraging widest publicity of the steps
toward preparedness, to keep the coun-
try properly advised of what is being
done to warrant the staggering eN-

willingly, all important officials desire
that the other side of the shield should
be presented and the public be made
aware of the profund seriousness of the
war so far as the direct interests of the
United States are concerned.
Little Hope in Dissension.
Among the Washington officials in
touch with affairs abroad there is no
belief that the war will end by internal
discussions in Germany. If that hope
was entertained at the outbreak of the
Russian revolution. based largely upon
expectation of reflex action in Germany.
it has been dispelled by subsequent
events. 1t is declared that there is no
practical foundation upon which to
build belief that the German people are
not back of their government. to a man.
Neither is much confidence placed in the
thought that Germany may be starved
into submission. With her own fields
and those of Austria and Hungary titled
by the women, ever fruitful and with
the outlet through southeastern Europe
to Turkey and lands to be gained from
Russia, it is thought the Germans may
subsist themselves indefinitely, though
on shortened allowance.
The only hope of the military observ-
ers of conquering Germany is to out
number her in men, overshadow her in
the air and by mere superior physical
force aud weight of armament defeat
her armies. Such result Will require,
it is contended. time indefinite and mil
lions of men. This. in short, is the adj
vanced military view most generally
accepted.
1t is pointed out that if Germany con-
tinues her advances into Russia, and
seizes the wheat fields, mines and tim
her lands. her economic position will be
enhanced immeasurahly. The military
advantage derived will consist in the
withdrawal of troops to reinforce the
western front. consisting of men train

LECTURES ON CREDIT.
Samuel J. Henry Speaks to Students
of Business High School.

Credit as an index to civilization WAS
one of 1.-THE points discussed in lee
ture by Samuel ]. Henry before stu
dents of Business High School under
the auspices of the Washington Asso-
citation of Credit Men today. Mr.. Henry
spoke of credit under four general
heads-the philosophy of credit, the
forms of credit, the use of credit and
the collapse of credit. He minated
the federal reserve act would prove "a
safeguard for the country's finances in
the case of eventualities with Germany.
Mr.. Henry dwelt on the manner in
which credit had been developed during
the European war. cat no time III the
worlds history has credit been called
on to perform the Herculean tasks i'm
posed on it, he said. ITO the amaze
ment of the greatest economists and
fnanciers of the present day, we have
unfolded before our eyes demonstra-
ton of the most extended and scientific
use of national credit-a use the extent
of which was denied and utterly I'M
dreamed of before the first year of the
European conflict was ended"

them official recognition by passing the
