THE FIGHTING WILL BE
THICK

| ~ HERE are unmistakable
VI signs that the decisive
battles of the war will be
fought this year upon the
western front. The German
warlords have promised their
people a victorious offensive in
the west. They know they
must get that victory within
the next six months or they
will not get it at all. Tremen-
dous attacks may be anticipat-
ed soon. The Teutons may
make some headway. They
may be held as by stone wall.
Time will tell. That the allies
will be able to hold against the
Hindenburg attacks is conf
IDENTIFY felt by our generals and
there seems good ground for
the belief. If they do it will be
but a matter of weeks or
months until they will do more
than hold the foe. With new
forces arriving constantly
from America the allies will be
able to sweep forward against
the foe. When they do that
the Prussian promise of victory
upon which alone now rests
the stability of their empire
will be broken and the German
people will know that the iHn-
denburg promise cannot be
fulfilled. 1t is then. the kaiser
will have real trouble with his
subjects. A people do not re-
volt against a successful gov
ernment but they will rise
against a government that
brings upon them defeat and
death when victory and peace
were promised.
In the meantime the duty of
the allies is to see that no stone
is left unturned. The fighting
is going to be thick and Amer
ica will be called upon to save j
the day. Every energy abroad I
and at home should be bent to
that purpose.
