ALLIES WILL HOLD
BACKU.S. TROOPS
Confident of RepeIIing Foe,
They Will Wait for Full
American Army.
STATEMENT PUZZLES HERE

By the Associated Press.
OTTAWA, May $50 confident is
the entente Of its ability to withstand
any drive the Germans can launch that
it has been decided not to use the
American Army until it becomes a COM
plete and powerful force. according to
a cable summary of operations on the
western front received here tonight
from the war committee of the British
cabinet.
THE position now is" said the sum-
mary. that the Germans, determined 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, having been given the
choice of small immediate American
Army for defense or waiting till they
are reinforced by a complete. powerful,
American Army, they
have chosen the latter.
ITO the sledge-hammer uses of masses
of men by the enemy the allies are
opposing the strategy of meeting the
blow with the smallest force capable Of
standing up to the shock, while keep
ing. the strongest reserve possible.
Troops on the wings are permitted to
give ground within limits 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 re-
store the situation.
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-05-13
Reserves Nearly Exhausted.

His reserves have nearly reached
complete exhaustion. Those OF the
Franco-British are still in being, while
the American preparations develop.
The time draws closer when defeat is
Inevitable. Therefore. he must renew
the offensive. His preparations proceed
feverishly. but it takes months proper
ly 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 necessity compels him to
try to improve his position in the Lys
sector.
'The allies may have complete con-
fdence in the result. For the enemy
the issue is a desperate endeavor to
avoid defeat: for the allies the issue
is only that Of victory deferred. The
coming battle may be a repetition of
Verdun on a large scale. and If both
sides should be exhausted, the allies
have vast powers Of recuperation. while
Germany has drafted her resources al
ready"
Evening star. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1854-1972, 1918-05-13
Strategy Is Justified.

I'm the present operations the British
army has withstood many times it's own
weight of enemy masses. 1t has re-
tired slowly, exacting the fullest price.
Meanwhile, Foch holds the bulk of the
French in reserve, sending units only
to points hard pressed. This strategy
has justified itself in that in three
weeks it has seen the enemy brought
to a standstill without single stra-
tegic objective being fulfilled, and with
losses so immense that his reserve is
in danger of proving inadequate to his
policy.
The German commander seeing how
nearly he is delivering himself to the
allied reserve, has been compelled to
accept temporary failure and call halt.
His position is tactically exposed in
two dangerous salients on waterlogged
ground. His countrymen are danger
ously dissatisfied at the immense price
paid for his failure to terminate their
sufferings. His allies are on the verge
of quarreling, and daily exhibit their
growing dislike and distrust of the
taskmaster who robs them OF their
lives and food.

New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

before Americas participation, the writ
er, one seems to read between the lines,
might be easily imagined as going on
to say, addressing Americans directly:
"This is the sort of game you people
have set out to break up-for all time"
What farce!
Royal visits! Dust in the eyes of the
people, Kisses and embraces! Judas kisses
with the dagger drawn behind the others
back!"
And the Indictment piles up:
"What is the meaning of this slaughter
and this carnage? This question will, we
hope, resound with increasingly menacing
tones from the depths of the people until
it reaches the guilty, the more the con-
viction of their guilt is borne home to the
masses Of the nation.
"For what interest of the people has this
struggle been let loose? Will the German
peasant, the man Of business, the manu-

Direct and vital subjects alone are
discussed. For example, here are some
of the chapter headings: "Greys Pro-
posal for Conference" "The Anglo
Russian-French Conspiracy" "Grey's
Conversation with Lichnowsky on Au-
gust /, 1914" "The Austrian Ultimatum
and the Serbian Answer" "Russia the

zation," "Is Russia to Blame for the

The work is effective because it is
so scrupulously documentary. 1t is full
of credits to blue books, white books and
yellow books. There is no guesswork.
It is first of all frank compilation of
facts. The conspicuous absence of what
is commonly called writing" renders
the occasional intrusion Of generalities
or large, observations doubly welcome.
That these indulgences are occasional
will be seen at once by any one who
will pick up the volume at hand and run
rapidly through it's pages.
An interesting instance of the more
relaxed and synthetic treatment Of the
thesis appears under sub-heading,
Royal Visits" in the chapter on "Bel-
GUMS Conspiracy" For his part, he
says, he does not attach much impor
tance to the mere interchange Of
courtesies between monarchs. Actually
$50 far as the veal Of the nations is con-
cerned, it is entirely matter Of indiffer-
ence whether their kings embrace and kiss
each other, whether they speak the Ian
guage Of familiar friendship and display to
each other their uniforms and regiments.
ITO such incidents one might apply the
old story of the two Polish Jews dis
coursing, In rags and tatters, Of the more
fortunate men who could afford better food
and better raiment. After ascending the
scale OF bliss till they reached Rothschild,
OF Vienna, who changed his clothes three
or four times day, one of them asked
the other: 'And what does the Emperor Of
Austria dc?' To this the other replied: 'Oh,
he dresses and undresses; he dresses and
undresses.'

They F allied to See
L the New Order

AS for the schame of the Hohenzol.
lern dynasty, it is painted a colossal
blunder.
"They have mistaken the times. p4-
crossed in the contemplation of their war
machinery they have failed to see that in
kind order prevails; that in fact,
Right IS Might. The moral forces, the feel
ing ever present, though at times dormant
in the human mind, that good must pre-
vail over evil and justice over tyranny; that
the weak have equal rights with the strong
are more potent to-day than all the hosts
of Germany, and they will be her undoing." !"
1t is, he believes, determination such
as this which has now brought "the
great peace-loving people of America
to accept'-in President Wilson's words
the gage of battle with this natural
foe Of liberty and which animates the
ten million Of her youth who have an
swered the call to arms"
AS for the horrors mentioned by the
writer in his Introductory chapter, and
which, he said, were too extreme to be
set down, many Of them. in a book de-
signed for general public, very ter
rible assortment appears in a chapter
discussing Chow Germany Wages War"
This is followed by no less remarkable
chapter containing "the testimony of

of tomorrow. The European Congress will
dance as the Congress of Vienna did The
millions of dead and mutilated, the incal-
culable wealth that has been destroyed, the
intolerable burdens which will press on
the nations for generatons--these consider
ations will not for moment restrain our
governors in the intoxication of their
heroism. Deafened by the jubilation of
their blinded peoples, they will bind the
laurel wreath about their foreheads; they
will stretch out their hands in reconcilia-
tion to their opponents; they will fall into
each others arms and will again begin the
old game. They will dress and undress;
they will visit each other; at the festive
board they will speak of peace and friend
ship among the nations and will again in
trigue and arm against each other and
fight, and all for the petty increase of power
which the one hopes to gain at the cost Of
the other"
That is the picture. And, although
the present book was written some time
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

"The nation honors and thanks it's indus
trious shipbuilders."
"The New York Times'' commented:
"The launching of the Tuckahoe twenty
seven days after the laying of her keel was
such a remarkable achievement that the
Clyde may come to be known, without dis
paragement, as the British Delaware, for
the output of the shipyards of our American
river is going to astonish the world in the
next two or three years. The Tuckahoe is
both pattern and precedent, but not
long will she hold the record"
"The Chicago Tribune" hailed the
event as victory over time and the
Kaiser:
"If ships can be ioated within this record
time of construction the U-boat is licked
and the Germans say that if the U-boat is
licked they are licked The bridge to Eu-
rope is built and the road by which Amer
ica's developed strength be poured into
the places where it is needed is ready to
carry its load"
"The Providence Journal" called upon
men, women and children to do their part
in proving that democracy is capable Of
military efficiency equal to that of au-
tocracy:
"T'he workers in all our shipyards, in our
munition plants, in every mill and shop, on
our farms, everywhere from one end of the
country to the other, must realize their
close kinship in this great crisis They
must work shoulder to shoulder for the
common cause. They are soldiers as truly
as the men in the trenches. Modern war is
a matter of business and technique. It in
wolves all of US. Nations are arraved
against nations in q sense that was not true
in former times"
"The New York Globe" said:
"a great ship in less than month! Send
the news to the Kaiser. Bear it to our
faithful allies who in the red riot of battle
are holding back those who would over
whelm freedom and send the world reeing
back to barbarism Transmit it to our own
boys in the trenches to assure them that the
homeland is mindful Of its duty to them"
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

The following paragraph, which opens
a chapter on Methods of Persuasion" is
of special interest just now, with the
fate of Holland grimly balancing in the
scales of war: =
BY the perpetration of these abominable
atrocities the Germans not only hope to
wreak their vengeance on those who have
dared to oppose their invading armies, but
to give the neutral states to understand
that the same fate is reserved for them
should they throw in their lot with the
enemies Of the Central Powers. At the same
time, they employing all dishonorable
means in order to bring these neutral states
over to their own cause"
alphabetically granting that the GerA>
mans are going to win the war, the
writer asks:
"And when they have conquered the world
how will they use their victory? What will
happen is too appalling to contemplate.
Having stopped at nothing during the war,
will they stop at anything when it is over?
All nations to be moulded after them
selves-Deutschtum, German thought, Ger
man methods and German manners pervad-
ing everywhere. And in Germany, as
Fernau, himself German, says Individual
opinions no longer exist, but only opinions
that have found official sanction. Journal
lists and newspapers standing to attention!
Fleld-gray sentiments and field-gray sci
ence! Iron words and iron money! The
whole nation one mass Of bronze, in which
no golden streak of individual character
is allowed to glimmer.'" ("Gerade well ich
Deutscher bin." English translation: "Be~
cause / am a GERMANY
And continuing under the above
specified hypothesis:
civilians will be of no account. Mill
tarism will be rampant in its worst form.
The lack Of good faith on the part of our
neighbors and our open frontiers will for
ever compel US to remain great military
state. Neither Belgium nor England nor
democratic France is a military state;
hence the gulf which separates our ideals
and our culture from theirs, and that gulf
truly appears unbridgable. We cannot af-
ford the luxury of the catchword liberty"
(Quoted from the same work.
In chapter headed "The Germans as
They See Themselves and as Others
Have Seen Them," Mr.. Willmore saws:
at is hoped and believed that as the
war goes on it is becoming more and more
clearly understood throughout the neutral
world that the question at stake in the
present struggle, incredible as it may SEEM.
Is whether the better or the baser in
stincts of mans nature shall prevail.
whether humanity, shall continue to pro-
ceed on its course toward higher and
yet higher ideal, or shall revert to its con-
dition Of many thousands of years ago
when its motives were actuated by nothing
but the lower animal passions. By their
own acts our adversaries are revealing that
this is the true meaning of the struggle.
The concluding chapter resumes a
theme suggested in the very beginning,
the danger Of premature peace As
throughout the book, the writer quotes
contemporary authors and the press very
extensively and with wonderfully telling
effect. And then he sums it all up In
these lines:
III has been said that this is q war 70

meas Of Germauy's crima.s
New-York tribune., 1918-05-12

facturer, the artisan, the doctor, the lawyer,
the artist, the man of learnng-will any
of them be more wealthy or happy if their
great country becomes even greater, if the
strength of their state becomes even
stronger, if the glory of their kings be-
comes even more glorious? Will there be
added to single one Of these many mill
ions so much as an atom of happiness, of
wellbeing, of content, if their country is
increased by some thousand square miles
and their population by some millions? . {.
For my part, 1 would rather be citizen
of the princpality of Lechensten and end
my days in Vaduz than be subject of the
Kingdom of Prussia under the dominion Of
the Hohenzollerns." y
And he adds:
"To all who are given the power of vision
the lesson of this war will and must be
this: That the finger of history points in
another direction to higher and more re-
mote ends. 1t points to the cohesion be-
tween small and great nations in an inter-

wv YHEN certain German writer
NJ who still remains anony-
nous, brought out a book

Nv THEN a certain German writer
M who still remains anony-
nous, brought out book
written in the months of
December, 1914, and January, 1915, and
called "J'Accuse," real sensation was
precipitated. This remarkable work
made a startling, circumstantial case
against Germany.
AS the writer himself pointed out, "the
sensation which it caused, the applause
which it evoked, were due, not to it's
merits as literary work nor to its
qualities as an inquiry into historical
events, but to the fact that the author
was German, the first and the only
one who had dared to struggle against
the stream of falsehood which had inun-
dated the whole of Germany since Au-
gust /, 1914; the only one who had dared
to arouse the German people from the
lethargic slumber into which they had
been crininally plunged by the skill of
their hypnotizers; the only one who had
dared to hurl in the face Of the rulers
and leaders of Germany the accusation:
The war which you present to your
people as war of defence, you your
selves have willed, prepared and brought
to pass"
