WASHINGTON, Dec. 15.-Amerioa
must speed mp her war work. She
must concentrate on the essentials and
concentrate herself fully and nobly &c
the task of victory-a task growing
difficult by virtue of Germany'K new
found strength arising from the Rus
sian collapse.
That was the warning view today OF
Secretary Baker and other government
officials. Baker refused to be specific
as to details IN his suggestions for
more speed others suggested that
with shipping the crucial point about
which the fortunes of war will turn
more must he done in this direction.
Labor. they said, must come forward
to its fullest extent. Red tape mus.
be cut out of government programs.
The Cambrat reverse for the British
has not been 1ninjmized here. Army
men have said IT stopped Just short OF
a big calamity. Everywhere officials
acclaimed Lloyd Georges statement
that there is no halfway house be-
tween victory and defeat.

LONDON, Dec. 15.-There is 10

front, the only war theater which
in the last analysis really counts.
Today Lloyd Georges speech at
Gray's Inn was regarded as a call
to arms in present day crisis.
The setback to British arms. at
Cambria has not only practically
nullified Haig's splendidly con
ceived and Byng's splendidly exc
cuted advance but it is generally
admitted the reserve marked the
end of the British offensive for
some time to come.
The initiative has now passed
to Hindenburg.

predict that only the greatest ef-

from fulfilling their boast to break
through the allied lines before
American participation can equa

half million picked men to be
thrown into the assault against the
