The mere fact that a centralized

ting a principle for which the unlted

since 1t entered the war.
The whole-hcartedncss with when
President Wilson ordered Gen, Perish
Ing to tender the American reserves IN
France to the service OF Gen. Foch or
rpy other commander designated by
the war council to meet the German
drive indicates beyond all question the
feeling in high government quarters
that the United States will not STAND
on any ceremony or tradition IN weld
sng together the allied strength IN

Army officers here expect to see
strong commander appear In the heId
shortly at the head Of an allied army
which will wrest the initiative from
The Germans and force the fighting Tor
an indefinite period.
The German challenge to an aIlled
strength Is to be accepted.
The battle begun by the Germans
will not be ended by them, but by the
allies, according to the universal opln-
ION here, and the final decision OF the
conflict, while not in doubt, may not,
nevertheless, BIO reached until the sun
mer campaign has been fully deVel'
Oped In a sense the German often
awe is merely Il prelude to a long and
hard battle which may continue until
fall
The feeling OF nervousness being
manifested by tho German lines to the
north OF Arras and to the east Of the
"elbow" now crooked at Noyen, instead
of at Zero, showed plainly, in the
opinion of military experts here, that
the German high counsel Is draining

Behind the scene of the present
German drive a battle of wits between
the war councils on both sides is IN
progress In which the present battle Is
nnty a consideration. Apparently the
allies are merely meeting the Germans
In the west with n view to stormlne

WE MUST HANG TOGETHER
(By THEoDosIA GARRISON of the
VlqiIantes.)

Said Benjamin Franklin of Pennsyl-
vania, putting down the pen with which
he had just signed the Declaration Of
Independence:
Gentlemen, we must all hang to-
gether or assuredly we shall all hang
separately"
In a single phrase he combined an
epigram, a warning, a declaration Of
faith and, incidentally, framed q motto
for the present generation.
The value of team work for the ma
tional good Is unquestioned the value
of the individual beyond the share he
contributes to the general power is neg
ligible. This undenied fact, acknowl-
edged by everybody and more often
quoted than applied, waited to be dem.
onstrated in its entirety by the Imper.
ial German government, who, after Its
fashion, lost no time in claiming 1t as
a personal discovery, marking 1t with
the made in Germany stamp and
promptly christening it efficiency"
Mind you, 1t is the German govern.
ment that has made its people efficient
and that by the simple and direct
method Of the brutal overseer who
dashed a gang of slaves into the per
feet workmen that produced the loo
per cent result he desired.
The individual who with all his hear
wishes a certain thing accomplished
doesn't have to be whipped into hi.
work, and the difference between slav
cry and freedom, between autocracy
and democracy, lies in that individual
himself.
"The nation" says President Wilson

him, but In the endeavor that Will bes

meat, eat coarse, plain food, with plenty
of vegetables, drink plenty of water

Anuric double strength), obtainable at

Pershing to place American troops at
the disposal of the allies, have had q
tremendous and ~far-reaching effect on
American war plans was made evident
at the meeting Of the val council with
members Of the senate military com.
mittee.
Reports given to members Of the
committee were said to be the most
satisfactory in many respects that
have been received since this country

to the capitol yislbly impressed with
what they had heard and seen at the
meeting OF the council.
They announced that full steps are
being taken to put the entire resources
of the American people into the war
and that it seemed that the old 5000

doned for a feverish haste to rush
troops to France.

Washinqton.-Gen. P~ershing's NEE
sage referring TO Gen. Foch, made pub
lie by the acting chief Of staff, fol-
lows:
"Have made all our resources avail
able and our divisions will be used II
and when needed. French are In fine
spirit and both armies seem confi-
dent"
Washington. - Official information
has reached Washington that Gen.
Foch, the French chief Of staff, has
been appointed to supreme command
OF all the allied and American forces
In France.
This means u%nification OF all tho
armies opposing the Germans, a step
which the American and French mil
itary men long have urged and which
apparently has been brought about by
recognition OF the imperative demand
for concentrated effort to hurl back
the gigantic thrust OF the enemy In
France.
II was learned tonight that the pres
ident had been officially advised OF
the action when he sent a cablegram
to Gen. Foch congratulating him ION
his new authority There was NO
explanation at the White House OF
what the president meant, and 1t is un'
derstood that there will be no official
comment here until after an announce
ment comes from France
The first hint Of the historic devel'
oement came in press cable dispatches
telling how Gen. Pershing had placed
the American expeditionary forces at
the disposal OF the French command
err. This was confirmed in a message
from Gen. Pershing to the war depart
ment.
The presidents message follows:
MAY | not convey to you my sim
| cere congratulations on your new All
| thority? Such unity Of command Is a
most hopeful augury OF ultimate sue
| cess. We are following with profound
interest the bold and brilliant action
Of your forces"
The selection OF Gen. Foch is also
regarded as a signal for the beginning
of a crushing counter-ofensive in which
the united strength Of the entente pow
ers and America will be thrown
against the German armies. Operat
ing as a unit of one great army and
under the sole direction Of the most
brilliant military leader developed by
the war, the blow planned IS expected
to send the Teutonic forces Keeling
backward to a possible crushing de
feat.
The adoption OF the plan is a tri
umph for the United States because 1
was first suggested by President VIII
son. When Col. House was delegated
to attend the inter-allied war confer
ence at Paris last November, his in
structions were to regard all othe
questions as secondary in Importance
to unity of action between the force
opposing Germany.
