Editorial Opinion
THE RESPONSE

From the New York sun.
There may be a thousand differing
Views OF President Wilson's war poll
icy in the past; OF his illusions, his de-
lays, his elaborately reasoned prOcras-
tlnations, his persistent belief IN the
superior efficacy Of moral and ethical
strateglcs.
There is only one view throughout
the country Of his war policy today.
His declaration at Baltimore that force.
force TO the utmost, force without
stint or limit, is the sole defensive
weapon on which the American people
can now depend has met with a re-
sponse as unanimous In tone as it Is
impressive in volume. The challenge
from the German sword which the
President accepted on Saturday night
in the name Of our government, his
fellow citizens are accepting with
alacrity and loyal enthusiasm.
There can be no doubt OF IT, The
newspapers tell the story The talk
OF the cantonments, Of the factories,
Of the streets and the flresides, OF the
Liberty Loan meetings everywhere, tell
the same story. Force TO the utmost
whole souled vigOr In the making Of
war, any sacrifice for the victory that
our lag must win-lhe President dio
not misunderstood the sentiment thai
IS behind him.

land to America-from the OldOWOrld
TO the New. from age to youth.
We have man power TO give almost
without limit. Sending 100000 or
even 100000, men to the battle line
is an enterprise that involves technical
difficulties only.
We are now sending men very fast.
Whether they should have been going
faster than they were going, or whether
the conditions now calling for them un-
der a new plan Of training and assiml-
latlon are such as this country could
not have anticipated, we cannot say
ApOlogists for the conduct OF the war,
In their anxiety TO emphasize what is
doing seem to minimize what was do
ing before. Two weeks ago David Law
renee, IN "The Evening Post" could
never have dreamed Of saying that the
war was being prosecuted in a half
hearted manner, but now he says the
fact is that Washington Is better or
ganlzed mentally for war" than ever
before, and that instead OF a half
hearted effort based on the theory that
the war would be won by the Allies, "
and that peace was coming shortly"
that Is the feeling that Americas ut
most effort will be required.
We should not say that the war had
been prosecuted In a half-hearted man
ner. We should say only that 1t mad
been conducted in an inefficient manner
because time was being wasted.
But all Of that now belongs to an In
tellec.ual past.
The important thing TO keep In mind
is that when we suddenly increase our
Exports Of man power we must de-
crease at the same time our exports Of
supplies and munitions until we get
more ships
The fate Of democracy is in ships
In ships that are not yet built.
Are we doing the utmost there?
Before the German drive began we
were said TO be doing our utmost in
every direction. Now we find that Il
was not so. We only thought We
were.
We do not know what our utmost is

a way that would make them instantly
available. The government could es-
tablish a bureau from which at any
moment it could obtain the names OF
men fitted for any duty the perform
ance Of which might be needed. II
could compel the registrants to cor
rect tho descriptive cards on which
their names were Inscribed as their
residences and occupations changed.
The segregation OF reglstrants accord
ing 90 their occupations could be done
without haste, and should an emer-
gency arise the government would
possess a familiarity with It's man
power resources obtainabl6 In no other
way.
We have no right to assume that we
shall not be called on TO cOnscript men
above the age fixed by the present
statute We may hope that ave shall
not be driven TO such an extremity, but
we owe it 90 ourselves to leave nothing
10 chance. The policy we should adopt
Is that which includes every prepara-
tion our foresight can approve as pos
sibly beneficial TO the nation. So far
as ingenuity and devotion can prevent
10, nothing should be left to chance
or TO the hurried improvisation Of an
hour Of pressing danger
Such a registration would do more
than provide against the possibilities
OF The future. II would reveal thou
sands Of men competent for tasks now
performed by younger men ut for serv-
Ice in the front lines but held to other
employment in which their elders could
engage with equally good results.
These men might be called now, re-
leasing the younger generation for
transportation overseas. without i'm
pairing the service In any manner, and
strengthening it In many ways.
The principal thing. however, is that
we should be prepared for any event
uallty, and that the preliminary steps
should De taken now. when there is
ample time. and not postponed until
an emergency has been forced upon us.

TIE TEuToN MADNESS.

e ONE weeks ago. there came cable story to the
- effect thai the Germans had captured several Ameri
cans and left their mutllated bodies in front Of the
trenches held by our boys.
Now a story told In a letter by Adiutant r.
starbard OF the Salvation Army, who says that wounded
sergeant hospital told him that he the Germans
capture three American soldiers and their throets
Such atrocities, adds Mr. starbard perpelrated by
brutes especially selected TO ntmdae by fFightfulness
Il is OF high importance that the truth or falsity Of
such reports be established beyond doubt It Is even
worth while that the authorities a, Washington take
particular pains to determine their truth falsy The
continuance Of such stories is loaded with horrible pos
sibIltes.
Moreover cutting the throais Of American prisoners
IS indeed part Of the German policy Tor intlmdst
ing purposes any other, the fact win and ought to
strongly AFFECT Americas attitude toward Germany at
the peace table.
We have amongst as Americans who struggle TO
preserve sympathy FOR the German people as dstin-
gushed from their government. Americans who believe
chat me people Of Germany merely misguided by
education and msled by their lords Americans who
have sort OF hazy idea that civilization sacrificing

ultimate benefit TO the people OF Germsny themselves
But a people who, through Ignorance brutshness, OF
subseryienee as followers Of autocracy from any
other cause stands for government that butchers
helpless capiiyes hogs slaughtered is without the
pale OF human sympathy.
Such people is manlacal, and Is % be treated as

Nolfh.n of the Battle
.From the N0w YorE TrI1unel

"a battle is a living thing; 1t must
have time TO grow and develop"
Hindenburg's recent dictum to that
effect is illustrated in the shifting OF
his offensive TO the north. TO The south,
above and below the Somme, the Ger
man advance has halted The real OBJ
lectiye has not been attained, whether
that objective was the limited one OF
Oustlng the Allies from Amelns or the
much vaster one OF breaking the
French and British lines at their juno
ton point and rolling the British armies
back toward the Channel coast
Now the effort on the Somme Is fol-
lowed by a secondary offensive against
the British on both sides Of the Franco
Belgian border. The object here is also
two fold II is to recover, IL possible,
the commanding positions southeast OF
fpres from which the Germans We're
driven in the battles OF 1917, and TO
drive a dangerous wedge into the Brit
lsh line between those positions and
the minor base OF Beihune. In the
larger sense it is to shake the whole
British line north from Arras to the
sea, just as the Somme offensive shook
the whole line from Arras south TO
the Junction point with the French,
The ultimate conception is to drive
the British back TO the Channel ports.
An offensive against and through
Amlens, II IL succeeded In reaching the
sea, would separate the British and
French armies in France An offensive
in the north, If it succeeded in reach
ing the sea, would not break the con-
nection between the French and Brit
lsh. 1t would simply push the latter
further west and south toward the
Somme and the Seine The greater
coup having failed, the lesser coup is
attempted.
The new offensive is naturally on q
smaller scale than the first. That was
inevitable. German reserves have been
reduced. The pounding process can.
not be kept up indefinitely. And the
Initial gains in the north have beer
less considerable In a great struggle
like this, territory conquered is not
lreal measure Of success. It is a prin.
ciple now universally recognized thai
an attack launched after sufficient
preparation and with SUFFICIENT nasse.

modern trench warfare the defender il

not hold his ground against artiller,

Yesterday, for the nrst time, having
come "lull IN the storm the British
Premier spoke freely Of the battle
No army was ever before transported
so quickly across the Channel. he said
as that which was sent by the War
Cabinet 90 relieve the situation"
The situation referred TO was created
by the failure OF the Fifth Army under
General Cough, on whom Lloyd George
thinks 70 would be unfair TO pass cen
sure until all the circumstances Of his
defeat are known.
Critical judgments may walt.
What OF the British army that was
transported with such haste across the
Channel2 Why did it have 10 be trans
ported IN haste Why was 10 not al
ready on the battlefront to meet the
German attack?
These questions come Immediately
to mind They suggest one more. Were
The English also waiting for the Ger
man offensive TO wake them up, and
did the war machine then begin TO be
speeded up, American fashion,
The answer we believe Is simple
In what was perhaps re great single
emergency Of the war So far the Brit
lsh War Cabinet made two momentous
decisions, namely:
"a To throw the last line OF British
reserves against the German tide. and
t2) Henceforth TO trust the United
States TO keep the Allied 'man power

After 1916 the Germans gave up the
system Of rigid FIRST line defence. It
nad proved exceedingly costly. The
first line troops We're trapped in their
deem. permanent dueouis Then the
elastic system OF first line defense was
invented The outermost line was lightly
held by small garris0ns in the pill
boxes. A permanent line further back
was prepared. and when the attackers
reached that point they were Vigor-
ously counter attacked.
The battle Of Cambrai late last year
showed how easy il is to penetrate
modern french line, but also how dit-
lcult 30 was 90 go more than a certain
distance and stick there. Lloyd George
made the interesting statement the
other day that General Wilson had pre-
dicted that a German offensive from
ST. Quentin would penetrate The British
lines to a distance half the length OF
the front operated on That was lib
eral measurement Of the power OF the
modern grand scale offensive. The Ger
man penetration from st. Quentin went,
in fact, deeper than 10 ought TO have
gone, because of the failure on the de-
fense Of the British Fifth Army.
The German gains In the Armentiercs
region are therefore not surprising.
They are merely normal, and II the
British can retain the Messlncs Ridge
and the other commanding crests
which they won last year Hindenburg's
advance may again he gradually mar
moved and localized.
What Hindenburg is now seeking Is
a test Of strength all along the British
line. lie can make progress by ep-
ployine superior forces al given points.
nut g. Lloyd George frankly told the
world the other day the Germans have
I no superiority in man power on the
West front. They have the advantage
of the initiative. but nothing beyond
that. And 20 maintain the initiative
against substantially equal forces on
long front requires gigantic prepara-
tion and effort.
The present German offensive is a
nght against time 1t is the last big
German bid for military decision. In
this larger aspect German territorial
gains are relatively unimportant, so
long as cohesion Of the Allied armies
Is not affected
The great battle in the West will be
long drawn out Germany is a wild
beast at bay. In trying TO crush tho
Allies she is willing 10 bleed herself
white. There Is no other way out now
for the German military autocracy.
Western democracy must accent this
feroci0us challenge But with each

Picardy, German militarism draws near
