RUSSIAN FLOP
CHANGES PLAN
FOR AMERICA
Armies Must Smash Huns
on Western Front, Off,
cials Now Believe.

America has been set a new task In
the war through the collapse Of Rus
sia. Discounted as the separate peace
has been for weeks, high officials here
for the first time yesterday admitted
that the change has come. There are
indications that changes OF plan are
already under way. Summed up they
amount to this:
Germany must now be beaten to her
knees on the Western front before
she can reap the benefit of her Eastern
triumphs.
The United States must put a huge
army in the field at the earliest mo-
ment
Hard Pull Coming.
There is no inclination any place to
minimize the seriousness OF Americas
task In its new dimensions.
1T means a long pull and a hard
pull" said Secretary Daniels grimly.
1T means that the element OF time
now definitely has shifted from in IA
vor OF the allies to be in favor of Ger
many" said French soldier and dip
lomat. He sounded the battle cry OF
unconquerable France, the nation that
has borne the hrunt OF battle since,
almost with her bare hands, she beat
back the German hordeS at the Marine.
TO allow Germany to retain her
conquests in the East" he said, "is but
to permit the Prussian military ma
chine partly to triumph and but to
sew the seeds OF another war twenty
years hence. Germany must be brought
TO her knees on the Western front 1t
is now strictly a matter of decision
on the field of battle. The United
States will make that decision either
success or failure for democracy"
So general is the acceptance Of this
feeling among American officials that
II was predicted in many quarters to-
night that the President within a day
or two will go to Congress or issue a
statement summoning every man,
woman and child in America to the
new task
Officially the White House knows
nothing Of any such determination by
the President. But it is considered
an extremely significant fact that for
almost seventy-two hours the Presi-
dent has been in the closest con-
ference from time to time with Col
Edward N. House. his principle ad-
wiser in foreign affairs.
Up to the present time there have

deed that the administration believes
the Teutons would crack under
the strain even before Americas full
power was brought into play.
Many people thought that" said
Secretary Daniels yesterday.
But, even though it Is generally be-
heyed that Germany will reap scant
benefit from her Eastern conQuests
this year, II Is admitted that the Ger
man people will patiently endure an
other year OF hardship in the hopes
Of triumph on the West as her
military masters have now apparent
ly triumphed on the East.
NO one" said Secretary Daniels,
who has talked with our officers who
have come back from France can feel
discouraged. The German certainly
cannot break through"
1t was indicated at the War Depart
ment that the date for the next draft
would soon be set. There has been a
general refusal to discuss this subject
up to. yesterday. 1t is even limited
that legislation may be asked for en-
powering the President to call for
more men Immediately.

Word was received here yesterday
at the Fuel Administration that New
York would curtail its lightless nights

step. This is a matter entirely within
the province OF the local fuel admin

ditional nights. They MAJ abolish any
days except the two named by the
Federal authorities. Fuel officials said
there was no intention on the part OF

in the way of business.

he beat drum at its top, thousands
of people looking on.
Another of the Woottons undertook
the perilous task of ascending the spire

very lofty. By a tremendous wind the
ball and cross had been bent down, and
looked dangerous. This steeple climb

secured each in succession to the stone

Barrier to sluht Of stars.

A theory gaining scientific accept

space there is substance which wells

sumably of microscopic and widely
scattered particles, 1t nevertheless
makes a barrier to vision when dis

In other words, If we were far

be enough of these particles between
ourselves and that luminary to render

Lumber Raft to Cross Sea.

One of the marvels of the age, ac-
cording to the marine authorities, an
invention which will make possible the
towing of 216000 cubic feet of lumber
safely across the Atlantic ocean, has
been completed at a provincial port.
No matter how severe the storms or
how dangerous the undertaking, the
big raft is so constructed that it will
be able to make the long trip without
any possibility of loss or damage. Most
OF the machinery used in this initial
craft can be used over again, and so
the cost of construction, estimated at
close to $4,000, will not affect the
business end of the undertaking.
The lumber, said to be sorely needed
on the other side, is valued at $150,OOO.
The big raft has been under construc-
ton for several months, 20 men being
employed all the time on the work of
building it.

New Rreakinn Birdie

The claim made for a new breaking
bride is that it is so designed that it
gives remarkable control over an I'M
manageable horse, because pressure
can be exerted on certain of the ami
mails spinal-cord nerves. This SIM
pie head harness has rope bit which
will not injure the horses mouth, no
matter how tender it may be. At each
end is large circular guard. A strap
attached to the bit extends up the
right side of, the head and then just
back of the ears, and terminates in
pulley on the left side Fastened to
the end of the bit at the left side is
small rope which passes upward
through the pulley and then back
through metal loop projecting from
the end of the mouthpiece. An ex-
tension of this rope serves as the lead
ing rein, the theory is that a pull on
this rein causes the strap behind the
ears to press down on a spot in the
spine which is said to be so sensitive
that the horse is soon brought into
subsection.
