When tho Shadows Lift

THE great British drive against linden
burg's line has high station as a military
success. II Will go down in history as one
OF the great achievements of the war hut its
greatest value does not lie In its strategic
brilliancy. in the number of men captured,
guns taken or losses inflicted upon the
enemy. Its greatest value is its effect upon
the dropping spirits OF the allied nations
The change which this victory has wrought
in the spirit OF the great group Of nations
banded together in this war has been as swift
as it has been inspiring totally different
view OF the war is taken by all of u.s. Those
who yielded to discoura cement have taken
heart. Those who refused to DO discourag god
even in the face OF reverses are now filed
with enthusiasm.
There is no use of denying the fact that
tho entente needed victory, and needed II
badly. The Russian collapse had filled many
people with dread Of the future Then came
the terrific blow at Italy, blow which for
time threatened to paralyze it's efforts for
perhaps another whole year. These facts
caused gloom in even those circles where
confidence in the allied strength had been the
greatest. But the British armies have shown
mat Germany is far from invincible even when
It's western armies enormously re-
enforced by veteran divisions from the Rus
sian front. Tho British have shown more-
over, that winter weather this year will not

late new supplies Of ammunition and other
wise recoup themselves for the fourth sum-
mers campaigning.
llaigs crushing drive is a warning to the
Germans that they must fight all winter and
night as they have never fought before, and
the British commander has served further
notice upon the enemy that the allies are not
waiting for the American forces to assume
the burden Of the war on the western front.
me Americans will be found doing their part
as rapidly as they can be moved to France
ana equipped for front-line work but the
brltlsh and French have in no sense stacked
their arms to await the men from the United
States.
1t is douby cheering to find Italy battling
with even greater desperation against the in
Vaders If the Italian armies can hold their
ground while the British and French are
pounding away at the Germans in France,
inc years fighting will have ended far more
glorlously for the allied arms than seemed
remotely possible two or three weeks ago,
