Officers in Washington
Consider Battle Al
ready Half Won.
OFFICIAL REPORTS
NOT YET ARRIVED
Generals Pershing and Bliss Avoid
Making Over Optimistic State
ments.

Washington, July 17.-While Off
cial reports from Generals ~Pershing
and Bliss were too belated to permit
formal conclusions to be drawn to-
day by military authorities here as
to the situation along the front
where the German offensive was still
beating against American, French
and Italian defenders, it was clear
they read press advices as indicating
that the crisis was past and the enc
my's plans frustrated. -.
Secretary Baker would not express
an opinion today as to what was to
be expected in France. General
llarch, chief of staff, was equally
reticent and deferred a mid-week
conference with newspaper CORES
pondents on the ground that his Of
fetal advices would not permit him
to go very far toward making clear
to his hearers just what is transpir-
ing at the front.
Apparently both Generals Perish
ing and Bliss are observing great
caution in formulating their reports.
They have studiously avoided over
optimistic statements from the first
and it is understood their reports
which have not been made public
have been confined strictly to the
facts of the great action that have
been established beyond question in
every case. II
.-, Most Officers Confident.
War Department officials follow
the same practice. Among officers
generally, however, it was obvious
the battle was regarded as more
than half won.
As press comments and the brief
official communiques from Paris and
Berlin have for disclosed the stu
alton, the great thrust, starting over
sweep of more than go miles, has
been narrowed down in three days
of fighting to only one active Sec
tor where the enemy still was NOV
ing sluggishly at last accounts.
Sharp counterattacks by Franco
American forces in this sector in
cluded, it was thought, still further
restriction of the active line was to
be expected.

PEOPLE ARE SAVING.

It has been pointed out as evidence
of how strongly the duty of saving
had been impressed upon the English
people by the w~ar-savings campaign
in that country in 1916, that al
though purchasing billions of dollars
of war bonds, the small s~ayings-bank
depositors in England increased their
deposits in savings banks over $780,
DOC, 900; this in face of the fact that
the English have been noted as a
spending rather than ps a saving peo-
pie. 1t seems that a similar process
has taken place in America. Two
great Liberty loans were f1oated in
tie year just closed, and nearly &c.
600, 10000 0 of Liberty loan bonds were
purchased by the people. Yet instead
of being depleted the savings banks
deposits of the country have been In
creased. The president of one of the
large New York savings banks is
quoted as saying on December 70,
1917: zone of the most remarkable
things about the Liberty loan cam-
paigns is the small effect they have
had on the savings banks accounts,
which show an increase. This We lay
to the appeals made to the American
people to purchase the bonds out OF
their earnings, paying for them from
week to week or from month to month.
The people appear to be doing as they
have been urged, purchasing the bonds
from current savings"

mission in their pockets to prove they

courage from the career of David,

should speak in public soberly and
seriously, not for notoriety or self-ad-
