Victory In Sight,
Says Sen. Smith

WASHINGTON, Aug. 29.-Sena-
tor Hoke Smith, Of Georgia, speaking
before the convention of the Federal
Board of Farm Organization today,
predicted the end Of the war by an
allied victory of arms within six
months.
"The time when Germany might
have won the war is past" declared
Senator Smith. even the kaiser and
his Potsdam gang realize thA the
time has arrived when American mil
lions have definitely turned the bal
ance against Hohenzollerns and the
militaristic brutality they represent"
"This war has been won three diff
ferent times" declared Congressman
Ben Tillman, Of Arkansas. "The first
victory was scored when Belgium's
thousands hurled back the Hunnish
hordes, while the French and British
were mobilizing; the second when
Brtain's fleets cleared the seas Of
Teuton ships, and the third with the
landing in France of nearly two mil
lions Of Yankee fighters. The Ameri-
can army can't be held back"

German Civilians
In Panic Because
Army's Reverse:

LONDON, Aug. 2S.- British
wireless service) Since the entente
allies have wrested the initiative from
Gen. Ludendorff on the western
front, the effect on the German peo-
pie is such that it has been necessary
to apply continual verbal stimulants
and they are officially exhorted to ''be
men" and to be "stout-hearted."
There has been more than a sug-
gestion of panic and it has been nee
essary for Gen. Won Stein, the Prus-
sian war minister, to fill more than
three columns in the Berlin newspa-
pers with reproaches to the people
who credit and repeat fantastic ru-
mors Of disaster. 1t appears to have
been freely stated among other
things that Germany has lost 100000
prisoners in the recent fighting and
that the German troops have been
betrayed. Gen. Won Stein tells the
Germans to look to France for ex-
ample. He says:
every Frenchman believes in a
final victory with steadiness which
forces admiration"

Neutral Nations
See Defeat In
Kaiser's s. Retreat
BY J. w. T. MASON
United Press War Expert.

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Germany's
retreat along the west front is be-
ing accepted by the neutral nations
of Europe, who constitute the only
adequate impartial observers left in
the world, as the beginning of the
kaiser's inevitable defeat.
Americas colossal military strength
which is accumulating overseas, is
now exerting a profound influence
upon all the neutral chancellories and
is giving courage to them to defy
the insolent outlawry of Berlin. Spain
is the first neutral to show unmis-
takably how the world outside the
conflict regards the present plight
of the German militarists. The de-
mand by the Spanish government that
Germany consent to the seizure of
interned German ships, to make good
the losses of Spanish vessels sunk by
submarines, is of profound import
ance. Spain has played an oppor-
tunist policy throughout the war.
The Spanish ministers have con-
sistently postponed any action for
four years that would antagonize
either side in the war. Spain has
tried to pick the winner in advance,
but has hesitated as the tide of bat
tie fuctuated. Now, however, by
challenging Germany-s piratical
rights at sea, King Alfonso's govern
ment demonstrates that the Spanish
authorities believe Germany is going
to lose the war.
The meek acceptance of Spain's
ultimatum by the kaiser is in itself
a confession that Germany commit
ted the greatest diplomatic mistake
in modern history when she refused
to abide by like ultimatum from
the United States. 1t is impossible
for the kaiser's camarilla to offer a
satisfactory explanation to the Ger
man people concerning this reversal
Of attitude. The malignant influence
upon German morale will be extern
sive and loss of confidence in the
judgment of those entrusted with
Germany's future fate will certainly
become evident.
Other neutrals viii undoubtedly
follow Spain's lead and new spirit
of independence, especially in Sean
dinavia, is to be expected. The kais-
er's doom is sounding around the
world,
