hostilities which, with the arrival of

heretofore been emphasized in these
advices that the renewal of active
fighting this year contains for us a
much greater personal element. Our
own men are for the first time to
undertake liberal share of the bur-
den of the war. Every day the new
arrivals of our troops in France will
add to American responsibilities. 1t
need not be said that these RESPONSE

and successfully. But the inevitable

is factor in the final situation which
should be appraised at it's face value
it is the memorable price of our par
ticipation in this v-GIr of Empires.
AS to the ultimate duration of the
struggle, the weeks developments
contain little which seems to suggest
that the end has approached appreci-
ably nearer. No doubt the enemy, if
it were possible for him to consolidate
and perpetuate the fruits of the inva-
sion of a demoralized Russia, would be
more than willing to advance such
terms for restitution of Belgian and
French territory as to meet much
more clearly the demands of our own
country and of our associates in. the
war. The Germanizing of the great
Russian empire the control of its

war began. But such a settlement
of the war is not possivle. At best it
would mean merely temporary truce
with a determination of the military
caste of Berlin, after once the Rus
sian situation had been placed I'M
der control, to resume and continue
its plan of world conquest which has
been so unmistakably displayed as the
underlying object of the present war.
President Wilson in his message to
the Russian Soviet at Moscow has,
however intimated the American po-
sition on the Russian problem, which
problem must be considered but a Sc

which can be considered is one which
