Ready to Block Offensive.

BY j. w. i. Mason, written Ior Lue
United Press.l
NEW YORK, Mar. 12.-American
soldiers in France are now ready TO
block a German offensive. Won HIN
denburg has delayed too long his
plans for risking a western drive
early this year. General Pershing at
1 last is In position to make America 8
I power play decisive part In checking
any effort of the Germans to break
through in the west.
The American overseas troops have
reached the stage where they can be
called upon instantly for service on a
major defensive scale. The 1ncreaS-
ing frequency of American raids and
the constantly enlarging sectors held
by General Pershing's forces dem
onstrate conclusively that the prelim-
mary training period has been LETT
behind and the Americans are no"
true craftsmen of the trenches.
Won Hindenburg no longer has any
serious chance OF smashing through
the west line. II is even improbable
that he has been able to transfer from
the Russian front to the west an ag-
sregate number of troops for an Of
fensive this year appreciably exceed
ing the number of Americans IN
France now ready for defensive fight
ing.
Under the new powers OF the Yer
sailles military council as Initiated by
the American general staff, 1t has De-
come possible for the troops OF any
nationality on the west front to De
moved to new sectors on orders from
Versailles. If, therefore, Won Hln'
denburg were to try the impossible
fSprSiva against the
French or British, General Pershins
NAV be found leaving his own sector
and Fastening to the relief OF Ameri-
cas- associates in the war.
But the possibility Of Won linden
burg's attempting this task decreases
with every day Of the approaching
spring. Americas strength along the
west front is now probably increasing
faster. proportionately than Is Ger
many's. The military power Of the
United States must henceforth be
taken into serious account by Ger
many, which means General Perish
ing has become the great enigma for
the kaisers general staff.

last month, and Major Stroek reports
that 275O pounds have been returned
this month. The work of Major
Strock is to be commended.
The Food Administration is asking
that the wheat consumption of the en-
tire nation be cut doyn one-half. If
the rest Of the State and of the Unit
ed States responds as loyalty as has
this n county in Missouri, the wheat
needs of the Allies will be supplied.
