Breaking Through Most Unlikely

1t is always possible that one Of the
heavy, swift thrusts will produce a COM
plete disorganization of sector Of the
German front. But it is the most unlikely
thing in the world, and there is no Allied
expectation anywhere Of breaking through
this year. Every effort will be made by
the Germans to establish the idea that the
purpose of the Allies is to break through.
and they will claim a great success at the
end Of the campaign when their lines are
still unbroken, although materially pushed
back. But the truth is that the present
Allied tactics are directed at producing
casualties, at getting possession Of the high
ground and the advantageous positions
from which 70 make their later attacks.
to take ground the possession Of which in
sures heavier German casualty list, even
when there is no battle going on, but just
the day to day pounding.
Ypres, Hill 20, Verdun--th"se are de-
tails in the scheme. The policy may be
extended to the Lorraine front, and even
to Alsace, before the summer is over; but
the purpose should be clearly kept in mind
There are less than ten weeks of fighting
weather left, end even if the Germans
we're forced to retreat because of break
in their line there is not now sufficient
time to profit by such an event. Russia's
collapse put wholly different complexion
On the war for the present year. The
French failure to get to Laon emphasized
the fact that Germany still had the men
and guns.
The End Next Summer
She will have neither next year. II
the United States is able to put consider
able number Of troops-say, half million
on the Western front the Allied advan-
tage will be tremendous in numbers as
we'll as guns, and if Russia should rally
the end would, in my judgment, come be-
fore this time next year; and by the end
mean not the fall of Berlin or the pas
sage Of the Lower Rhine, but the expulsion
Of the Germans from France and Belgium
and the clear and unmistakable military
decision which will dissipate the Prussian
idea of victory through deadlock.
When the war approaches German ter
rtory the fact will be plain to the whole
Of Germany Just as long as the fighting
is far away in France, Belgium and Poland
the German rulers can make a case for
insisting upon peace based upon profits for
Germany, or. at the least, peace by which
Germany escapes all financial payment for
her devastations in Belgium and France

our government is awake to the needs of the hour.
Postmaster Burleson announced yesterday that
the espionage law would be enforced with drastic
severity.
Read his exposition of the purpose Of the law
and you will understand fully what is meant by
treason and disloyalty:
"These laws aimed to prevent crimes against our
country, which are being attempted through ma
propaganda in the circulation of matter intend
ed interfere with the operation success of the mill

For example, such papers have sought to create in

Let us apply the doctrine Of personal respon-
sibility to the task of crushing incipent disloy-
atty. The whole world is engaged in gigantic
struggle. If the Kaiser wins, democracy is
doomed, free nations will be Belgianized out
ragged, despoiled and left subject states to auto
cratic might. If democracy triumphs the world
will respond to new spirit of liberty, no Belgium
will thereafter be crucified by Kaiser, Lusi-
tania sunk without warning, no children mutt
| lated, no women outraged. Liberty will prevail.
To this task civilization has pledged itself.
