THE CALL TO AMERICA.
CONTINUED from page one)

menaces every European country that
has fought and is fighting to prevent
itb spread.
To understand fully all that this
war means to us and the problems
America has to face--serious prob.
lens, more serious than many Of us
have realized-we must consider the
situation in four important phases
They are:
What il 1t going to take thoroughly
to whip Germany?
How much OF 1t can and will Eng
lard do?
How much of 1t can and will
France do?
How much must America do to
finish the lob?
We cannot understand what it is
going to take to whip Germany un-
lesa we get something OF notion Of
what there is left of Germany to whip
and the method OF lighting our men
must face.
In studying war conditions had
gone into England first, where had
observed all the various activities,
with the view OF watching both men
and materials from the recruiting of
the men, through the training In all
branches, to the battle front and back
through base hospitals, hospital ships
and into the general hospitals; also
the manufacture OF munitions from
the factory to the front and back to
the salvage plants.
This brought me TO the British
front the week before the German
offensive of 1918 began. Driving
through all the larger cities north of
the Somme and about 70 smaller viii
lagos. stopping at scores OF places OF
interest, had the opportunity of OBJ
serving all the lines of British de-
Tense and to get something of an un-
deratanding of the terrible sacrifice
that an army must make in an effort
to break through.
As we walked through the trenches
and on into the various lines of de-
Tense the British and German cannon
werO even then sounding out each
others guns and trying to silence the
opposition with shell fire.
In one place there was constant
booming for two hours, the shells n.y.
ing over our heads with whiz-z-z
and whir, but they were of. no great
danger to us. for they were aimed far
enough In front and back of us to
pass safely over us.
Az times we stood by cannon as
they we're fred at the enemy Every
where was seen desolation. In BEL
GUM and in many parts of France
the ground was all shell-holes, pitted
in so thick that they Tapped into each
other, They were filled with muddy
water, and with stranded tanks, can
non, shells. dead horses, helmets, bay
oneta, barbed wire, wrecked trucks.
and here and there the dead body
of German soldier that probably
had been buried with boots and uni
form but had been blown to the sur
face again by the explosion OF shells

AMIENS WILL NOT FALL.

Paris, April 1.-"Amiens will not
fall"
General Ferdinand Foch. Allied
generalissimo on the west front, made
this positive statement today. adding
that he was prepared to guarantee it.
General Foch asserted the big base,
which is the chief objective Of the
German center in Picardy, was safely
covered. His confident message sent
thrill through the Allied publics.
It removes the last vestige of alarm
that had been felt for the safety Of
the great strategic railroad center.
