ALLIES CAN WIN WAR
Letter Frors British War Minister
Is Optimistic.
Lord Miner Urges Every Nation 70
Continue Doing Its Utmost
for the Cause.

London, Sept. 10. - Lord Miner.
British minister Of war, urges the ne.
cessity Of continuing rushing Amer.
lean troops to France. In reply to an
inquiry he wrote the following letter
to q correspondent: -.
you tell me that In certain circles
in the United States the view is cur.
rent that our recent successes on the
West front have made the necessity
less urgent of hurrying over American
troops to France and that Americas
splendid war effort can now proceed
ut q more leisurely pace.
II quite understand how this view
may be held, but profoundly dis
agree with it. 1t seems to me that, on
the contrary, the morale of our recent
successes is just the opposite.
1.-THE remarkable achievement of tho
Allies since July IS is of first impor.
lance, for it shows tNat we can win the
war; but most assured'y we will not
win the war If We get the ideo that
we can afford to slacten our effort.
This applies to every Allied nation.
It is the duty of the European Allies
to abate nothing OF their energy and
to act, indeed. as il America were
not behind them.
Americas strength-great as it is
can only be relied on to bring about
a decision if it is added to the forces
of the European Allies, and not sub
stituted for Them"
