If the German leaders really believe
even a little of what they have been

launch a big offensive against the
American front. for if they could
break through they would strike as
surely at the heart of France as if

Verdun. But the Allies undoubtedly
have prepared anumber of offensives

WAR CABINETS OF OUR ALLIES

To tie President Wilson's hands by
creating a war cabinet of three men,
bers would be a case of jumping out
of the frying pan into the fire. If
the President makes a mistake he
can rectify it promptly when ne is
commander-in-chie clothed with full
authority. Our Government system
does not bow and yield to every side
wind of public opinion and does not
give full play to the will of the peo-
pie in time of peace: but this very
quality makes it strong and efficient
in time of war. When what Amer
lea has accomplished is compared
with what England was able to do in
the first year of the war we may feel
proud of ourselves. This is no in
vidious comparison. Both did their
best. but the American system was
the more efficient.

Summarized Off Irish Coast

Washington, February 6.-Two
hundred and sixty-one American SOL
diers, recruited from the Michigan
and Wisconsin National Guard con-
tingents, are missing and believed to
be dead as the result of the sinking
of the British transport Tuscania off
the northern coast of Ireland at a
late hour this afternoon.
The Tuscania. formerly one of the
most palatial of Atlantic passenger
liners, was carrying a detachment
of 2,173 American troops to join Gen.
eral Pershing's army in France.
Quickly upon the heels of the off,
cial announcement of the sinking of
the Tuscania, came word that LOO
men had been safely landed at Bun
cranna and Larne. on the north and
northeast coast of Ireland.

and men were given out, however.

that these names would not be made

HI AMERICAN FRONT

Salt Lake Tribune: For mOntns
the German people have been reading
that the war would be over before
the United States could put an army
into the field in Europe. Now an
American army has taken over a
sector of French front. The Berlin
official communication, although it
tells of operations from Switzerland
to the sea, fails to mention the pres
ence of the Americans. Three months
ago, when there was no chance of
u boys taking w a sector. the
Berlin communication identified
American units in the Rhine-Mar
canal zone of French Lorraine. Since
then the Germans have heard moth
ing of the Americans except that
seventeen of them were captured in
a raid by the German supermen in
field gray.
This is not a convenient moment
for the Wilhelmstrasse to announce
that American soldiers are holding
a sector of the line in France. Great
strikes, which took on the character
of a revolution. are being suppressed
with difficulty and it is easy to imag-
inc the effect upon the morale of the
Geman people if the government
which has been soothing at American
military preparations should let it be
known that an American army ready
for battle is now facing the Teuton
forces. The war lords cannot afford
Just now to add to the depression of
the German people.
The front our men hold in Lorraine
is probably not more than Is or at
most 20 miles wide. In ordinary cir
cumstauces it is possible to hold a
front with 1000 men to the mile, but
in case of an enemy offensive on a
large scale that number would be in.
sufficient. If we are able to get
500, 900 men into Lorraine in the
Spring months and are assured that
adequate reinforcements will follow,
our army can take over a front of sc
miles or more.
There are only three or four avail
able military routes into Germany
One or two lead through Belgium
One or two lead from the French
fronts at Verdun and in Champagne.
One of the most important is from
French into German Lorraine. The
Americans are established on the
Lorraine route and are nearer to the
German border than any of the other
allied armies, except n French
army. which is across the border in
Alsace. If our men were able to
push forward ten miles they would
be across the line and fighting on
German soil.
1t would not be surprising II, some
day, it should be announced that our
forces have two lines of communities
ton across France. one from the At
iantic and one from the Mediterran-
can. the two converging at or near
Nancy.
In the region now held by the
Americans General Castelnau fought
the battle which protected the French
right flank at the time Of the en-
gagement on the Marine. The be-
ginning of the battle somewhat pre-
,ceAed the Marine engagement. 1t
