many quarters. that Secretary Lane,
generally looked upon as the most out
spoken member Of the cabinet. warn
ed the House committee not to ex-
pect peace for a long time to come.
The United States. with President
Wilson himself sounding the hopes of
the nation, entered the war with a
full determination to bring the war
to a successful close this year. The
consensus of opinion in official and
diplomatic circles yesterday. after five
days OF the intense fighting. is that
the winning of the war has been
greatly postponed. The significant
fact above all. however, is that no.
where Is there manifested any inten-
ton Of compromising on the purpose
to win the war.
War viii Go On.
Even II the German army definitely
breaks through, and reaches the
environs of Paris itself, the partical-
ly universal assertion here is that the
war will go on. Statesmen declare
that 1t must go ON II the cause OF
liberty in the world Is to be saved.
For twenty-four hours now, mill
tary strategists in Washington have
been expecting the crisis to come-the
point at which the spent energies OF
the German drive will make possible
the all important counter offensive.
Last night the period for the main
counter attack was advanced another
twenty-four hours with the attenu-
ated left flank Of the Germans along
the River Oise as the possible point
of attack. But even IL the Germans
are able to consolidate their present
gains and dig themselves in, there is
no intention Of giving them rest.
From now on the part that Ameri-
cans will play is expected to grow
rapidly in Importance. Troops are
moving forward in constantly increas-
ing numbers. Large numbers OF
Americans-the exact number Is
known, but cannot be printed-are al
ready available for the counter Of
fensive and as Is now generally ad-
mitted some detachments are already
in action in the defending line.
Many Americans Ready.
Within q month, IL was declared
in authoritative military quarters
between Ave and six divisions OF
American troops at least will be
in action in the main theater OF
the Western front. These, II is as
sumed. might include troops of ali
classes.
Congress resumed yesterday the
bitter debate on the alleged short
comings OF the administration in
the conduct of the war. There was
little let-up in the unsparing criti-
cism. Sarcasm waxed caustic and
in the tone of many of the speeches
