MUST SPEED UP WAR
EFFORT, MARCH SAYS
a LIED VICTORIES DEMAND
THAT AMERICA PUT IN ITS
MAXIMUM PUNCH NOW.

Commenting on the brilliant AL
lied victories of the past three weeks,
General P. c. March, chief of staff of
the United States army, declares that
America must speed up instead of let
up, in its war effort as a result of
these successes, and this is counted
on in official circles to spur congress
to quick action on the man-power
bill. broadening the draft ages
March's statement was construed
as warning that nobody, least of all
congress, should indulge in any idle
hopes or waste time in arguing over
details of war plans. The thing to do
now, March declared. is to put the
maximum punch into American eff
fort.
Officers regard his statement as in
dicating plainly that the Allied war
chiefs, from Marshal Foch down,
have put it up to the United States
to throw such force into the field
as will complete the establishment
of the Germans, already we'll begun
by the achievements of American
fighters who have gone against the
kaiser's crack legiOns.
March's statement of the magnif-
cent work of the Rainbow division
also was construed as evidencing the
fact that Foch knows that American
troops, be they green" or seasoned
are a match for the best the kaiser
has.
Military officers say that the re-
suit of the test of the Rainbow Gi-
vision, made up of green men from
26 states, including the old Second
Washington regiment, undoubtedly
helped to convince Foch that the
right kind of help had arrived to
enable him to keep the initiative.
Experts say it is not numerical su-
periority alone, but the fighting quail
tiles of the available forces that
counts strongly. March told how the
Rainbow division in eight days had
forced the passage of the Ourcq river,
taken prisoners from six enemy di-
visions, decimated and routed the
crack divisions of the Prussians, a
Bavarian and one other division and
smashed back the foes line sixteen
Ikilometers.
This division was in the center of
the American-French position. The
Germans knew it had gone in, and
put their best troops against it, hop
ing to smash Americas unseasoned
men and SO prove to the German peo-
pie Hindenburg's boast that the
United States military aid counted
for little. Had the plan succeeded
the effect on the Allied morale and
on Foch's plans might have been dis
astrous.

WHAT JAPAN HAS DONE IN WAR
AND why She DIDN'T Do MORE

What has Japan done in the war
and why hasn't she done more
Why haven't her soldiers heen on
either west or eas front in Europe
fighting with the soldiers of Ja3an's
allies in this war;?
Questions like those have been or
many tongues in America, England
and France.
Americans who have returned
from Japan have varied answers.
They are not all agreed.
But in a general way they are
agreed that
Japan is with the allies.
She has done everything asked of
her.
Her navy has done its part in keep
ing the Pacific ocean cleared of Ger
man raiders. She drove the Germans
out Of China and las done what she
could through diplomatic channels to
check German propaganda in Asia
Her way ships have secured the
Mediterranean sea for enemy sub
marines.
She has shipped munitions and
other supplies to European Russia in
larger quantities than any other ma
ton.
Her shipyards are working over
time to keep up the allied tonnage
and to provide ships for use in
world trade after the var.
some Of her officers have been sue.

the rank and file and the vast ma
! jority of the officers are pro-Japan
first, last and all the time.
Her business men lean toward the
allies. especially Great Britain. This.
! one investigator writes. is largely due
to Japan's fear that British naval
forces could make japanese shipping
decidedly uncomfortable if Japan was
allied with Germany.
Her main pro-Germanists are her
college professors and literary men.

Of German kultuT.
Japan did no, send troops to the
aid OF Russia because Russia did not
ask for them. and Japan felt that
her soldiers would-not be welcome.
She did no, send troops torrance
because,for one thing of the dis
lance and the transportation pr >
lem. Her troops would have toee
fed by America. AND the United
States has a large enough food prob
lem 4 supply france. Italy and Eng

Finally, Japan didn't take a greater
part in the war. thoughtful students
of that country and its people believe,
because she thought the allies in
Europe could and should handle the
war; japan vas heavily in debt arts
ing ii OF the Russian war, and she
wanted to be ready if the a came

Sir Eric alluded to the fact hat
the waters around the British Isles
had been the enemy's chief field for
submarine operations and that with
American help the greatest successes
tanned in those waters. He stated
however that 80 per cent of the loss
es of merchant ships was accounted
Cor by the Mediterranean and that
conditions had been more difficult to
meet. the having been less
adequate n success against the sub
marine less satisfactory.
1t became increasing evident"
continued Sir Eric, that as our re-
sources improved we would be able
to turn our attention more to the
Mediterranean. recently went to
Rome for a meeting of the allied
naval committee.
The meeting of the committee in
Rome was representative of all the
allies with naval forces in European
waters. 1t agreed we could forthwith
adopt and adapt to the Mediterranean
the same measures which have given
success in the waters of the British
Isles. and these will be undertaken
under Vice Admiral Calthorpe, a
British commander in chief in the
Mediterranean"
1T is perhaps natural that the CO.
operation between ourselves and the
United States should be extremely
close. l wish in behalf of myself and
my colleagues publicly to pay tribute
to the whole-hearted and generous
devotion to the prosecution of the war
which has governed the action of ev-
'ery representative of the United States
navy with which we came into con-
tact. The personnel Of all ranks has
