washington Post,

DESPITE the most colossal effort and
the most prodigal expenditure of Ger
man blood, the enemy's assault fell
short of its objective yesterday. Beat"
in. against the compacted British
ranks and the newly arrived French
forces, the Germans fell in enormous
numbers. The total progress made
was not more than might have been
expected from the impetus Of the
initial drive, and the cost Of the few
furlongs Of ground gained was ruin
ously high. No nation ever existed
which could afford to throw away its
manhood at such a rate.
AS the imperial manslayer looks on
the map and balances the loss of men
against the gain of territory, he can
say. Another such victory and we are
undone.' What will the German peo-
pie say when the butchers bill comes
IL? What will the militarists have to
snow for the killing of 100000 or
200 900 Germans? A little of the dew
astated territory between Cambria
and Compeigne is not enough.
The strategy of the Allies is con-
cealed. No one is permitted to know
what the supreme war council has
planned to offset the German drive.
The first obvious task was the check
ing of the drive, which seems in fair
way of accomplishment by Haig's
and Petain's gallant men. The next
stage of the operations may bring
great surprises, or it may be merely
a settling down process, in which the
two giant wrestlers lie dead-locked,
striving to regain their breath.
The Allied world need not concern
itself with the next move, if it can
only be established that the main on
sluught has been brought to a halt.
In that fact, once established, is con
contracted the fate of the enemy. Like
the cyclist, the German force must
keep moving forward to avoid TOP.
ping over. The only possible accept
aplf result of such a drive, at such a
cost is the defeat Of the Allies by the
capture of Paris or the channel ports
or the enforced surrender of the Brit
ish army Anything short of one O,
these detectives is instant defeat ane
probable disaster
For this reason the Allies can 1ool
with resignation upon the all-too
heavy loss of brave Englishmen anc
Frenchmen These gallant men hay,

their own homes and liberties II h,

Liberty's struggle, with her terribla

ton will wax feeble as the Allies waz

power was reached when the kaiser

March q, 1918. If that attack fails
Germany fails and the issue of the
wal is determined. All that remains
lis the administering Of the inevitable
mortal stroke.
Not a moment is to be lost by Amer
lea in it's work of cooperating with
the Allies. All efforts should he re-

and saved in quantities twice as great

into the sea, laden with food and mu-
nitons and men. While the brave al
