WASHINGTON, June S. Hope OF

within the past few days. that the
entire plans OF the Allied offensive
have been completely upset by the
Russian upheaval has given Wash

has developed The most intense pes

some members OF the Council OF
National Defense. there Is feeling
Of relief that deception has given
way TO frankness and that the AM

mltted to face the cold fact that the
success or failure of the Allied
cause is squarely UP to the United
States.
Among a number OF the strong
est men in Washlngton--some mem.
bers OF the government and other
business men giving their time and
services to winning the war-the
feeling is strong that public opinion
in the United States has been chic
reformed and facts withheld, knowl-
edge OF which must become general
before successful mobilization OF the
entire resources can Do accom-
