Ienormous expenditures OF life In thh
western offensive for nothing will de-
mand peace and will overturn the
kaiser. Awaiting this result, the cult
opposes any plan looking to three OF
four years more of war and prepare
| ton for victory over the Germans.
Consciously or unconsciously, the
cult is more concerned with sociological
changes than in winning the war. II is
racifist in spirit. The achievements OF
the bolsheviki and their plans it holds
In more, esteem than policy which
would have maintained O. Russian army
,, On Germany's east front. The influence
of this cult in our national policy is
hard to understand. but that it has
been formidable the well-informed in
Washington know.
The course Of events has refuted ey-
cry prophecy and expectation Of the
cult. The German grabbing of Russia
has revived the lust for conquest which
has been the sin of the German people
as well as of it's Potsdam gang, 1t mas
given Germany source of food supply
that will rapidly increase under her
effective organization.
The imperial power is greatly
strengthened by the initial success of
the present general offensive. If a dead
lock on the western front follows this
drive, the German people Will not re-
volt. They love to conform to power
Nothing but victory over their war
lord could rouse them to revolution.
Their attention and energy will be di-
rected to their new territory in the
East. Messages and honeyed words
calculated to win them from the kaiser
and conquest will be prepared in vain.
We should then face the facts. II we
are to win this war, as we must, we
should make a definite plan to throw
into France American man power
enough to do it. 1t will need five mil
lions. perhaps seven millions. for the
purpose. 1t will take!at least two years
from now to create such an army and
transport it.
Our shipping, artillery and aviation
projects can probably be perfected in
that time. so that the world Will be
astonished at the volume and efficien-
cy of our product. Our navy power to
suppress the submarine will be greatly
enhanced With tools at hand our
armies can be trained on this side be-
fore they go down to the sea In ships.
They may then march to the trenches
on landing. This is plan for at least
three years. It should be worked out
in detail and legislation enacted to
yermit it to be begun with a clear
vision of its extent, requirements and
purpose.

George phases, if. Their conception

In his latest editorial utterance in
the Philadelphia Public Ledger. eX-
President TAFT writes this:
The man or nation confronted with
Il critical task who faces the facts and
makes u clearly defined plan of action
insures success. He who waits without
clear purpose until events force him
on is never ready and only plumbers
into victory He is always waiting for
something to turn up and is the sport
of fortune.
Neither congress nor the admnistra-
ton can be said to have made def1nite
plan in this war. Too many have been
lured into the foolish hope that our
allies could win if we furnished them
money food and material. 1t could
easily be established that for some time
after this war began there was no
serious purpose on the part of the ad-
ministrauon to put large army III
France. The coming of Johre, Vlvlanl
and Balfour led to the reluctant send
ing of our small eXpeditionary force
under Pershing to help the morale OF
our allies. but it was not intended TO
increase the force beyond half MIL
lion. The fond hope INDUCED was that
the Austrian people would break away
from Germany and the German people
could be separated from their kaiser
and the military regime. Much re-
lance was placed on an interchanse OF
messages and speeches which were to
rouse the German people TO revoiu-
tionary action by convincing them
that We were not warning to destroy
but only to secure a just peace.
A powerful cult in Washington and
elsewhere has severely criticised Lloyd
George because he advocates the tight
ing of this war to a knockout. 1t is said
this strengthens the military party with
the German people and prevents then
revolt against the imperial government.
Ii is said that they would thru the
reichstag by moral force, (for the
reichstag has little real power) seek
peace and defeat the imperial Junker
purpose The German conquest OF
Russia by deceit and treachery has fol-
lowed The still small voice of the
socialists in the reichstas against an
nexation and indemnities has been
drowned in the triumph. the reichstas
is now invited to repeal the resolution
declaring the peaceful and self denying
policies of the German people.
There is reason to believe that our
peace seeking cult has not been con-
WINGED, even yet of the futility OF its
plan. 1t hopes that the Germans VIII
be held on the western front, that
offensive will then drive them
rack To the line from which they have
advanced and that there the deadlock
will be resumed. Then it thinks that

The correspondent came upon
Gowdy at a chateau on the Rhine in

Of the Giants game was almost as

six months service. This included the
playing season. dating usually from
the middle of April TO the middle Of
October. The new contracts will ex-
