NO TIME TO WEAKEN.

THERE Is nothing to he gained by minimizing the serious
ness Of ,he latest Hun drive. The salient driven into
the British line adds difficulty to the British position on
either side The situation seems more critical than In the
darkest DAYS Of the Picardy drive. Probably before a
channel port reached the Huns will have gone their high
limit In sacrifice and the allies will have time to strengthen
new lines But whatever this battle may develop, America
must show no signs Of weakening now. No matter what
blow, our allies may sustain and they hPye been heavy

hasn't yet fairly started TO fight.
