DEPRECATES THE CRY
PEACE BY CHRISTMAS
Army and Navy Journal Says Only
Miracle Can Bring War to an End
This Year.

Under the caption, NO Short Road
Before Us" the Army and Navy Journal
in its last issue urges the people of this
country not to be too optimistic regard
ing the early ending OF the war but to
take General Marchs word when he says
that the war struggle is yet to be won
and that 1t is going to require more than
100000 Americans in France to do it.
There has sprung up in these United
States" says I he journal, IA thorough
~ foolish and dangerous idea that Ger
many Is going to be beaten by Christ
mas day This idea seems to have been
born of the combination of events of the
success Of the First American Field
Army at st. Mihiel and in the Argonne.
Allenby's victories over the Turks in Pal
estine, and the surrender of Bulgaria to
the allies.
The evil of this is that it tends to-
ward a lessening of purpose and serious
disappointment on the part Of the great
mass of the people. For the cold truth
is that there is no short road before us
to the Rhine or Berlin 1t Is to be a
long, hard one for our armies to travel
over For even when we drive the Ger
mans out 0f France and Belgium we will
then face him with his back against the
wall of his fatherland. And all his
bravery as a fighting man and all his
tactical genius will be brought to the de
Tense of his native soil
If we take any such line as this now
prevailing in the I'nited States Of peace
by Christmas we are going to have some
bitter days after Dec. -. For unless
some miracle happens it IS uuthinNahle
that the war can be brought 10 an end
this year.
As a corrective to this kind Of foolish
optimism one has only To sit down before
map Of France and Belgium and con
slider the problem before the allied armies
in the light Of four years Of war. The
allies now are merely fighting forward
again over ground in northwestern
| France that they fought three years to
regain from the Germans and much that
they lost between March u and July l.
alone. Unquestionably the situation
looks better so far a. the western front
is concerned than it has at any time even
in the days of the great German retire
ment of 1916. There is no questioning
the fact that if the Belgian and British
troops continue their drive past Rouler,
, along the northern bank OF the RiVci
I.ys they will force the Germans awaN
from their coastal positions
But without wishing TO appear m
duly pessimistic, that strategical actio,
p must be under way before we are pre-
r pared to look upon it as fait accompli
e The very Importance of the Belgian coas
= 20 the German strategic plan makes j
; certain that she will hold her groun,

opinion than that the German army vii

BARRAGE LAID DOWN
