New York, April 1.-The initiative
along the new western battle front has
now almost wholly returned to the al
lies with the Germans fighting prac-
tically everywhere on the defensive.
This does not necessarily mean Gen

The movement of American troops
from the Lorraine front to. western
France, does not yet suggest the allies
have decided to risk the outcome of the
war to the test of a new super-combat
in Picardy. Present indications that

transfer are limited to numbe' and iheir
appearance side by side with tue rench
ahu British WI be largtiy for moral
offrct.
The matter of morale among civilians
at home has now become a vital element
in the war. More than ever before, the
allies must prepare for silent endurance
while waiting for the reaction in Ger
many to the gigantic casualties of the
past few days. The next phase of the
western combat may not consist of field
engagements at all. 1t may be the re-
aewal of dissent in the central EN- pres
over the realization that the sacrifices
to the Hohenzollern Moloch have not
ended the war.
The German sweep over the territory
voluntarily abandoned by Won linden
burg year ago, will have done no more
than to make that area German cene-
ievy, if the morale Of the allies holds
firm. There can be no major strategic
results from the German success 50 long
as the war continues. 1t is for the al
lies, by their steadfastness, to press up
on the German people a realization Of
this fact. Thereafter the house of tIo-
henzollern will become to the German
reople the house Of blood.
