General Wood Is Right!

Every succeeding day justifies the
recommendation of Maj. Gen. Leon.
ard Wood made at the beginning OF
the war and repeated to the Senate
committee on military affairs after
his recent return from France that
the United States should have an
army of at least 5 million men.
Half of that number, he told the
committee, ought to be put in
France this year if the transporta-
ton is available. Only by an effort
on tremendous scale, he felt,
" ould this Nations aid be effective.
England refused to take Kitchener
Sc riously in 1914 when he talked OF
5-year war and of the necessity
for adequate preparations. Only
costly experience taught it what it
m ust do. There was similar skep-
Ii cism regarding General Woods in
sistence last year on the need of an
immense American army.
Today nobody can doubt the wis.
dom of his estimate of the magni-
tude of the task and the necessity
Fastening preparations. 1t would
be stupendous mistake if this
if this country should continue to
shut its eyes to what is ahead. and
should underestimate its job.
In view of what is happening in
France, even the layman can under
stand that a mighty effort will be
required on the part of America. 1t
would be folly to take any chances.

can be beaten only by whole hearted

TO the hasty conclusion that we are
going to draw comparison be-
tween the home of the Caesars and
the modern up-to-date and only
village of Stoutsville. AS matter
of fact, and not by comparison,
StoutsVille is situated upon, in and
around seven separate and distinct
hills. Every town possesses individ
ual peculiarities, and Stoutsville is
no exception to the rule, its striking
popularity being that there is only
one StOutsville on earth. The in.
habitaDts of this exclusive little
burg" have their own way of doing
things and when they 90 after any
thing they generally land the goods.
When they advertised a big Red
Cross sale on the same day that
every city and hamlet in the ma.

celebration, the critic was politely
informed that the Red Cross sale
was advertised first and must be

The sale proved a bowling success
and the Liberty bond question was
Immediately taken up and before
other towns were done counting up
their bond sales, Stoutsville sub
scribed its quota and cIimed several
thousand "over the top" and is still
subscribing.

The Call To America.

Admission is now made in high
quarters in Germany that the effects
of American participation in the
war have been underestimated. The
same official manipulators of Ger
man public opinion who we're say
ing year ago that this country
could not put an army in Europe
are now urging upon the German
people the necessity of a supreme
military effort this summer. on the
ground that the decisive blow must
be delivered before the Americans
arrive in force
1t does not concern US so much
that the German militarists were de-
ceiving their people a year ago as
that they are now, no matter how
reluctantly, telling them the truth.
Nothing is palmer than that the
war has reached the stage when
victory rests with the reserves of
whichever side has them in the
greater number and can the sooner
place them where they are needed.
The German leaders know that and
necessity has driven them to dis
close something of the truth at
home. They know that America is
the Entente's reserve. They know
that reserve is greater than any the
Central Powers can ever hope TO
bring mot the field But one chance
remains to them. and that chance
is in forcing the French and British
to fight a Waterloo before America
can bring up its supports. II is ex.
actly that chance which Captain
Persius, the military critic of the
Berliner Tageolatt. refers TO when
he says: 1T is certain that America
will. in the very near future, succeed
in amassing armies which will con-
stitute very valuable aid for our
enemies
Ii is for US. as we'll as our enc
mics, 70 recognize the moment of
advantage. General Foch has de.
clined TO fight a waterloo, and the
Germans have not been able 70 force
him to. He is fighting the action
of commander who knows he has
reserve army behind him, while
the enemy is using up his own re-
serves in trying to bring on a de.
clSive engagement. Americas part
is now TO bring the greatest possible
concentration of troops to Foch's
support this summer. so that when
the moment comes for him to &C
cept the issue of decisive battle he
will have the preponderance OF
strength TO give him victory. That
the situation is recognized in Wash
ineton is amply testified to in the
speeding up of troop movements
across the sea. The crisis is likely
TO be prOtracted and the battle to
continue all summer.
Every week, every month that
General Foch can make his strategy
yield the result of battling Hinden-
burg's desire for a decision, will
bring nearer that American pre-
ponderance which the German high
command now so frankly fears.
Every fresh wave of the enemy
horde that breaks against the allied
lines IN France should be an added
challenge to our effort to meet the
crisis and get our weight of numbers
on the ground.
Monroe City Democrat. (Monroe City, Mo.) 1888-1919, 1918-04-26

A leading newspaper of Germany
in summing up the situation said
"Germany's honor and existence are

tanning to the German government,

Significant Items.

Here are two items which should
make every American think. and
think deeply.

sons Baltimore speech a German
newspaper, the Taeglische, said:
Germany lost her last chance to
keep the United States out of war
when she failed to prevent Presi

of his anti German leanings"
The other item is an extract
from a speech recently made by
the Kaiser, in which he said Even

States, where almost One.half of
the population is either of German
