the superior resources of the allies
will enable them to find enough men
and make enough guns and shells To
make up the huge disproportion which
the Germans think the attacker must
have over the general who stands upon
the defensive.
Here is where America comes in.
Assuming the truth of the whole argu-
ment of the German general starr, II
follows that England and France
could be compelled to peace of eN-
haustion this winter because they
would be confronted by intact Ger
man lines in the west and would not
have enough men to storm them in
the spring of 1918.
BUT If the United States sets
promptly to work raising and equip
ing a million or more young ana
strong men-thc equivalent of the
storm troops" which the French and
German armies have used in their
most important attacks until there can
be but few such men left in the CON
tinental armies then the whole Ger
man plan is doomed TO certain de-
struCtiOn.
No matter how skillful the kaiser's
generals, or how well their retirement
is carried out in the west this year,
upon the French and British, they
could not stand against the impact Of
such a new force thrown against them
next spring 1t is accordingly highly
probable that If America sets to work
promptly to raise armies in such fash
ion that the Germans are convinced
they can he used next spring on the
west front, and if the submarine war
fare fails to reduce the western allies
to unbearable privation, Germany Will
surrender. But If American armies
are not raised, or are trained slowly
and in half-hearted and muddling
fashion, the Germans Will conclude
that they have nothing TO fear from
the United States and will continue
their efforts for military draw.
They have very good chance of get
ting draw, in the opinion of some
of the best critics in Europe, unless
the United States sees fit To prepare
to deal the deciding blow against
them on land.

GRAIN DEALERS AND
SHIPPERS PRESENT
CLAIMS TO ROADS

Chicago. Sept. 1S.--Grain shippers,
dealers and representatives OF boards
of trades from all parts of the United
States gathered here today to present
their claims in the controversy with
railroads over financial responsibility
for the loss of 100000 bushels of
wheat annually in shipment.
In three previous hearings. ut Chi
cago, Minneapolis and Omaha, the rail-
roads presented their case, maintaining
they should not be held responsible for
this "shrinkage." In today's hearing,
which was conducted before H. c. Will
Son of the interstate commerce commits
sion. the shippers charged the railroads
with discrimination. They alleged that
in the case Of big shippers, the rail-
roads made up this loss, while the
Small fry were compelled to stand
their own losses.
Otto Mortensen, II. r. F'elters and H.
b. Mercer, all of Minneapolis, were
spokesman for the shippers.
