that it could be quickly thrown into

Have Enough Reserves.
1t Is now known that movement OF
American troops to France this month
will exceed all records. If the war goes
on another year the American army in
the field will be exceeded in size only
by that of France. 1t also is known
that General Foch now has sufficient
reserve forces to develop offensive
operations all along the line from Elan
ders to Lorraine.
The allies have accomplished feat
not hitherto possible-to laupch an at
tack on twenty-five mile front while
another sector is under heavy attack
This has been made possible because
of the large number of American troops
available on the fighting front.

A. radical German withdrawal may

It was against the western side of the

that the first army corps, under Cen

sive launched on the western front
since the British attack on Cambria in
the fall of 1917. All detectives have
been attained in the Franco American

General Pershing to the war depart
ment last night.
1t is understood the American force

those employed as shock troops as re-

In his report, General Pershing
stated that thousands of Germans had
been captured 1000 being taken by the
Americans alone in yesterdays rush,

quantities Of war material.
Foe Dead Piled High.
The Americans has inflicted heavy
losses on the enemy. In the region OF
Mczy and Jaglgonne, the boche dead

regimental commander reported no
fewer than 5000 German dead were
piled in front Of his command.
Officials in Washington see tremen-
dous possibilities as result Of Thurs
days great Franco-American rush.
Many believe it marks the complete
passing of the initiative from the Ger
mans to the allies. Most Of the mill
tary observers agree it will compel a
withdrawal of the enemy in the Sois-
sons-Rheims salient and in con-
sequence remove the Hun menace to

Saratoga, n. Y, July 19.-Theodore
Roosevelt emphasized the necessity OF
electing a republican congress In an
address Thursday before the New York
state unofficial state convention.
Events of the past year and half
have shown republican congress Is
necessary. the former president said
'to support the administration at every
point where it acts vigorously in prose
cutting the war, and to supply its de-
ficiencies in the prosecution of the war
and in the carrying out of a proper
world policy
Since the war began the republicans
in congress have acted in spirit OF
patriotism, and wholly without regard
to questions Of politics For the ad-
ministration measures designed for
efficiently carving on war they have
furnished a larger percentage of sup
port than have the democrats; and
where the administration was wrong
the bulk of the republicans ventured to
Withstand it and have stood by the

The peace America must ipsist upon.
he said was "a peace conditioned upon
the completae overthrow Of Germany
and the removal of all threat of Ger
man world dominion" He said agita-
ton for premature peace should be
treated as treason.
Abiding to "A most gallant Ameri-
can army" across the seas, and to ship
and alrplane production, the colonel
said:
1--WE owe much Of this achievement
to the work of the senate committee on
military affairs, and We owe even more
to the success of the German drive
which began in March.
by this time next year we ought to
have overseas an army as great as the
combined armies Of France and Eng
land, an army Of between 100000 and
1900, 900, fighting soldiers on the var
ions fighting fronts and this. consider
ing requirements and -corbatants,

Congress should refuse assent to

representation, IN deferring the neces-
sary extension Of the age limits for the
draft, and in other ways. Besides enor-
mously strengthening our army in
France we should by this time have
