LONDON, Aug. 2i.-The Haroun-Al-
Raschid Of the twentieth century has

Journeys from the Allied capitals, but
have always failed.
ON one OF them his ship was attack

was cut short, however, for when they
got away they found IL was the mil

Now for Supreme Effort.

We may hope to see very con.
sid erable retirement of the Germans
toward the Belgian line before
winter, but all military authorities
on the Allied side warn US not to
expect too much. America entered
the war to help the right side win,
end to establish peace on sound
principles at the earliest possible
moment. In order TO end the war
decisively in the year 1919, every
one of the Allied powers must exert
the greatest possible energy. When
you make war you must concentrate,
and your effect must be supreme.
Otherwise you prolong the war,
sacrifice life in greater measure, and
multiply every kind of misery and
disorder What we propose to do,
therefore, is to meet Germany's
military challenge and to crush
Teutonic force by the sheer pre-
ponderance of Allied force. There
is not the faintest present indication
of any other decent alternative
Never at any moment since she
began the war, more than four years
ago, has Germany been more fully
committed to policies of conquest
than during the past few weeks
Never at any time in all the cen
furies, if we read history Alright, has
it been more necessary than at thi:
time to meet military aggression il
the name of liberty and humaI
rights. 1t is proposed, therefore
by the Allies, not to compromise
with German militarism but to de
feat it thoroughly; and this can bt
done only by organizing forces 81
