London, March 20.-The greatest
military movement on the Franco-BeI-

Marne is still i'm full swing, with the

OF the famous Arras and Noyon sa-

movement is still in progress.
Should the expectations of many
military observers who have been
watching the operation be realized the
retreat will not stop short of the pow
erfully fortified line running from
Lille TO Loan. through the strong de
fensiye positions OF Cambria and St
Quentin
The German official statement
speaks of the movement with a GER
tain note of inality as If 1t were en-

tirement in the Somme region, how
ever, was marked by much such a
statement in the midst of its progress.
Movement of Broad Scope.
The broad scope of the operation
is succinctly indicated in the Berlin
announcement that the ground evac-
uated was a strip of land between the
Arras district and the Ainse, which
takes in virtually the entire front from
a short distance sonth OF Lille to the
Soissons-Laon district
Both the British and the French
are sharply following up the retreat
ing Germans, employment of cavalry
having enabled the pursuit to keep in
close touch.
Other military operations sink into
insigniticance beside the great West

front America would not only divide the military strength of Germany but would also be striking at what the re- peated Russian advances have shown this way the forces of the United States could perform what may be called double service"-first in pre- venting Germany from concentrating the bulk of her forces on the strong ly fortified western front, to the detri- ment of the allies and, second, in striking at Germans weakest point, the eastern front. At the same time she could lend assistance to the al- lies by supplying them with the means of continuing the struggle with their own forces.
 Regardless of the prophecies that a continuation of the present defeats will tend to arouse the latent patriot ism of the Russians, it is plainly to be seen that large part of the Russian military forces have little or no desire to continue the struggle and will probably continue to refuse battle as long as they are able to escape the clutches of the enemy. Although Rus sa has twice recuperated from tell ing defeats, it is hardly probable that armies so completely demoralized. so lacking in the fighting spirit as those of Russia appear to be, can be soon or easily restored to that degree of efficiency necessary to make :hem a match for the superb fighting forces of Germany.
 Even though Petrograd follow Riga into the German war bag it is doubt . ful if the essential fighting spirit can be restored in time to save the nation from complete defeat.
 And with Russia compelled to sign a peace agreement which will retire her from the struggle the task of the United States and her allies will be increased a hundred fold, if not rem dered impossible.
 America should by all means strike where her blows will count the most Doubtless there are many difficulties in the way of placing an army in Rus sia. Time and distance are both against such project but there is hardly a doubt that an army of Am

The report recently reaching Nome to the effect that American troops are embarking at San Francisco for some unknown destination, generally presumed to he Russia, may be found cd upon nothing more than the idle imagination of some one down in the the Golden Gate city but 1t ls at least in keeping with the rapidly growing conviction that either the United States or Japan must ultimately stop the breach in the Russian ranks ere ated by the refusal of the Russian
 Japan, by reason of her large and eXcellently trained army, and also be- cause of her profanity to the scene of conflict, is logically the one to assume the task. It happens, however, that Japan, aside from assisting the entente in patrolling the seas is taking but little more than passive part in the war. What her future intentions are cannot be guessed, Of course, but there IS little present indication that she intends to assume a larger share in the struggle unless the exigencies of self preservation compell her to do so. On the other hand the United States is actively in the war and is making all possible preparation to carry the fight to Germany as quick ly as troops and arms can be provid- ed.
 Insofar as America is concerned, there can h" no peace until Germany IS whipped and the sooner the job is completed the better for all concern ed-the German people included.
 Time and experience have shown that as long as Germany is permitted to concentrate her forces the task of breaking down her defence is render cd doubly difficult. Contrawise, 1t has been shown that when she was kept busy on all fronts she was not only unable to conduct a sustained of fensive, but was frequently put to des- perate shifts to hold her own. It therefore appears an entirely logical move, at least to the lay mind, for America to send troops to Russia to prevent Germany concentrating the front to ward off the shattering blows struck by the entente.

 And if Japan could be induced to lend her assistance by sending an army to the eastern front, the task would appear to be still easier and, therefore. sooner terminated.
