NO IMMEDIATE USE
FOR ARMY Of !. S.
WILL WAIT UNTIL AMERICANS
ARE A COMPLETE, POWERFUL
SELF-SUPPORTING ARMY.
ALLIES STRATEGY EXPLAINED
German Commander, Seeing Ho"
Nearly He Is Delivering Himself to
Allied Reserve, Has Been Com
PEELED To Call Halt.

Ottawa-So confident is the enten-
| te of its ability to withstand any drive
| the Germans can launch that it has
army until it become a complete and
| powerful force, according to a cable
summary of operations on the West
ern front, received here from the War
Committee of the British cabinet.
THE position now is" said the
summary" that the Germans, deter
mined to concentrate every available
unit on one enormous offensive, are
draining their country dry to force a
decision before it is too late, while the
entente are so confident that if they
were given the choice of small inl.
mediate American army for defense
or waiting till they are reinforced by
a complete powerful, self-supporting
American army, they have chosen the
latter.
ITO the sledge-hammer uses Of
masses of men by the enemy the al
lies are opposing the strategy Of meet
ing the blow with the smallest force
capable of standing up to the shock,
while keeping the strongest reserve
possible. Troops in the wings are
permitted to give ground within linn
its whenever the enemy has been
made to pay greater price than the
ground is worth, the whole aim being
to reduce the enemy to such a state
of exhaustion that our reserve, at the
right moment, can restore the situa-
ton"
how nearly he is delivering himself to
the allied reserve, has been compelled
to accept temporary failure and call
halt. His position is tactically expos
ed in two dangerous salients on wa
terlogged ground. His countrymen
are dangerously dissatisfied at the
immense pice paid for his failure to
terminate their sufferings. His allies
are or the verge OF quarreling and
daily exhibit their growing dislike and
distrust of the taskmaster who robs
them of their lives and food.
His reserves have nearly reached
complete exhaustion. Those of the
Franco-British are still in being,
while the American preparations de-
velop. The time draws closer when
defeat is inevitable. Therefore, he
must renew the offensive. His prepa-
rations proceed feverishly, but it takes
months properly to organize such an
offensive. He must be satisfied with
what he can do in weeks. We may,
therefore, expect a renewed, furious
onslaught before long. The enemy is
so committed to his strategical plans
that we may await his main blow on
the Arras-Amiens front while neces-
sity compels him to improve his posi-
ton in the Lys sector.

tie Guaranteed.

There are three vital processes Of
human eXistence,-the digestion OF
food, the extraction Of nourishment
from 1t and the elimination of waste.
Poor digestion and assimilation
means failure to derive full nourish-
ment from food and that in turn often
means impoverished blood, weakness,
anemia, etc. Poor elimination means
an accumulation Of waste matter
which poisons the body, lowers vitality,
disease and leads to the development
OF many serious Ills.
Notwithstanding to some inter-
ference with the process Of elin1ina-
