Expert Urges Allies
To Delay Offensive
Await u. S. Aid for the Final
Blow, Says Colonel
Rcpington

London, May ll.-Discussing the mil
itary situation at the end of the third
year of war. Lieutenant Colonel Rep
ington. expert of "The Times" declares
that the Allies have not demonstrated
sufficient superiority to assure an carly
victory. He suggests that the Allies
indulge in no soaring strategy" until
"the new forces from America arrive
to deliver the final blow" His article
says:
ave arc drawing near the close of
the third year Of the struggle, and
there are no conclusive military reasons
why we should not see the end.
mo great power and no great army
or navy has ever been struck down on
land or on sea. Great losses of life. OF
treasure ships and of war materials have
occurred. and the economical pressure
has been intense. but the people will
find the wherewithal 10 nourish them
selves, and fresh contingents OF re-
cruits will still be found. So long as
the nations can strike off paper pounds,
marks. francs and rubles without de-
muir. financial liquidation will be post
pOned until peace. We Allies are

- Wl.h us.
I'm general. however, our superiority
is not such as TO guarantee an immedl-
ate or even early crushing Of the en-
emy's armies by military means. Their
spirits also are still unsubdued.
Neither we nor France can afford
heavy losses. We could at the mo-
ment conduct great general offensive,
but we must remember that the morale
Of our army falls proportionately with
its losses as general rule. In view Of
the American reserve power which is
later TO arrive in France. we should be
foolish 10 exhaust our own armies in
advance. We have certainly made the
task OF our Russian and Italian allies
easier by absorbing the German re-
serves. and we await with confidence
their early re-entry upon the scene.
and we expect an energetic offensive
from them.
THE question of the nature and time
OF the military support of the United
States must necessarily be decided by
America alone, but IL is very impor-
tant that America should understand
that France needs help as Quickly as
possible"

During the two days secret session
of the House of Commons notes oil

The following official account OF the
session was given out:
at to-day's secret session the House
Of Commons proceeded TO consider inc
report on the vote Of credit for S2'ooo'-
100000 which had been agreed to IN
committee Thursday night. A. r. Whyte
called attention TO naval affairs IN inc

organization and for consideration OF
the high commands on that sea. Com

vigorous offensive, younger personnel

Admiralty.
"Sir Henry Dalzicl demanded that,
in addition to the Kings recent proc
lamation. further appeal should be
made to the country TO economic food.
and asked questions ranging over many
topics connected with the past, present
and future OF the war
Welcomes Constructive Criticism
"Sir Edward Carson said he well
coined constructive criticism, but de-
piccatcd attacks sometimes made for
interested motives upon officers of the
navy outside of the House. He related
some recent fcats Of gallantry and re
source on the part of patrols which had
accounted for German submarines. lie
expressed wish that he could publish
every one Of them and explained why
i'm the higher interests Of the war J
was desirable to refrain.
He described the vast arca over
which the operations of the navy were
daily and hourly carried on, and asked
that trlhing incidents should be critic

among the Allies. In conclusion he
dwelt upon the great advantage 10 be
derived from the adhesion OF the United

London. May l1.-Hints from widely
separated sources in England, France,
Germany and Italy that the German
submarine offensive has suffered a
decline in the last fortnight arc &C
Cumulating here. Whether 1t is owing
to new and more effective measures
Of defence or an alienation in the
rhythm Of U-boat activities ono can

Official figures on the destruction
OF the U-boats are still kept secret.
Italy has given out figures showing
that thirteen Austrian submarines
have been sunk by the Italian navy
in the Mediterranean within three
weeks If this proportion Of dostruc-
ton has been attained in other wa
tiers il would explain the decided drop
in the number Of capital British mer-
chant vessels sunk in the Admiralty
records for last week.
From Berlin. too. come Earring

tempt of every patriotic American.
These men will be taken care OF IN
due time by national. state and nunici-

power that can oc brought against them

are actually in Washington to-day,
conducting lobby against the request
OF President Wilson that Congress en-
power him and his Cabinet to take the
necessary means to mobilize the agrl-
cultural resources of this nation for
victory. They are urging every spe-
cious, theoretical and imaginary argu-
ment against the granting of war pow

principal attack against the laws which
have been introduced by the Agricult-

view 10 putting the Department Of
Agriculture on a war basis.
