GERMANS PREPARE i. SUPREME EFFORT
 WARNS: SEC. BAKER
West Faces War C1isis--U'. s. Will Be a Vital
 Factor.

WashiHgtoaH Bee. Germany ha.
 massed on the western front her great.
 est army of the. war, Secretary Baker
 declares in his weekly war review
 made public today. To meet this men,
 ace the United States must speed up its military preparations, the secre-
 tary adds, with warning that the
 enemy is preparing to put into execu-
 tion in France plans he has been ma-
 turing since the defeat of the Rus
 sian armies at Tannenberg early in the war. The peace negotiations with Rus. 1 sia have permitted the massing o1
 men on the western front for that pur-
 pose.
 "The unitedu nation must stand souarely behind our soldiers" the secretary says.. "'It is not sufficient to prepare to fight-we must pre- 1 pare to win" The review asserts the German counter offensive on the Cambrai front has been successful in winning back less than one-third the territory cap. tured by General Byng. The lesson of the German exhibition of strength | is then taken up.
 "The Geramn parrying thrust, the most powerful and successful blow aimed at the British during the past two and one-half years, coming as 1t did immediately after the British vic tory in the same area, serves to en- phasize the reviving strength of the Germans in the west '.
 "We must recognize plainly that the situation in the eastern theater has brought about decided change in the stretegic possibilities of the military sitaution in the west.
 Germany, by leaving only skeleton divisions in the Russian area and by concentrating all available guns, muni- tions and men in this theater of op- erations in the west, has been able to mass relative greater force than she has even been able to mobilize in France in the past.
 "This explains the success which the enemy was able to achieve in driv- ing the British back from Cambrai. It should not do for us to minimize it's importance.
 "For a long time past the enemy has been preparing His plans for just such an eventuallty as would arise WucH NuSSld SIlOulu cNLcT upon ne gotiations for separate peace, which has been principal German objec- tive ever since the. battle of Tannen- berg. We must expect that he will put these plans into execution, Thus he may have at his disposal for a time, a prepondcrant numerical superiority in the west; he may even be able to achieve some relative advantages in the field. such as those recorded dur ine the past week.
 "The magnitude of the task before us can be more fully realized when by the success which the en- emv is still able to gain.
 "It means that we must speed up our military efforts. the United nation must stand squarely behind our sol diers.
 Ut is not sufficient to. prepare to fight; we must prepare to win"
 The review also hints at an expect ed thrust against the French front and describes events on the Italian front without an attempt to predict the out come of the various Austro- German thrusts. It adds significantly:
 "Our declaration of war against Austria now associates us immediate y with the struggle going on in Italy"

0N 1914, at the outbreak of the Woflo-
enveloping cataclysm. President VIII
son inquired of the Secretary OF La
Is Dor what provision had been made
for the employment OF women. Secretar!
Wilson informed the President concerning
the limitations of the employment bureau,

sequence of their conference was the ad-
dition of a women and girls division.
The task of organizing. systematizins
and equipping such division was OF pro-
dieious proportions and Mr.. A. Caminettl,
commissioner general of immigration, IS
largely responsible for its high efficiency
and splendid service.

United States geological survey has
figured that its iron resources are l.
the neighborhood of three billion tons,
of which almost one-third is already

there are valuable deposits in Mis-

ment orders included 1000 tons OF
sheets to be made into camp equip
ment and powder tanks; and we have
to supply railroad material not only
for the United States, but also for our
allies. including the Russians. They
are making steel shells at several
plants within a short distance of Biz
mingham, and the great munitions
plants are eating up steel by the thou
sands of tons. The prospect is that
there will be a steady expansion of
the iron and steel industry as long as
the war lasts, and at its close the de-
mand for the products will continue
on account of the rehabilitation of
Europe and the exports demanded by
the cessation of steel shipments dur
ing the war to many parts of the

are guarded by soldiers. for they are
engaged upon work which is directly
or Indirectly on behalf of the govern
ment. Within the past few years there
has been a great increase in steel man
ufacture. and our product has been
growing rapidly since the war broke
out in Europe We have the greatest
iron and steel resources of the world
and al the time the war began we were
smelling about four times as much iron
as Great Britain. three or four times
as much as France and more than twice
as much as the German empire. Last
year We produced more than 42.O0O,O0O
tons of ingots, which was more than
half of the production of the whole
world. 1t was enough to make
10000. 900 tons of steel. and it has been
turned into rails. armor plate and
structural material. A large part of
IL went into barbed wire, millions of
tons into sheets and black plates for
timing and millions of tons into tubes
of various kinds.

Just now we need a great deal of
steel for shipyards and also for the
Army and Navy There Is an addi-
,tional demand for motor trucks and
steel cars, and also for barbed wire
