The Political Situation.

It may be erroneous to assume, as
some are assuming, that the suggestion
of a stumping tour by the President
argues uneasiness on the part of the
managers Of his party as to Novem-
Der; that their reports Of conditions
throughout the country are unfavor-
able to the democracy, and that they
are relying upon him to produce a
change.
Doubtless those reports are up to
date. Doubtless they have been OBJ
tanned from good sources. Doubtless
all the information has been communi-
Gated to the President. Doubtless con-
ferences have taken place on the sub
ject.
But the campaign is hardly started.
In some Of the states it will not start
for weeks yet. In New York it will
not be under way until late in Sep
tember. So that present conditions,
whatever they may be, do not offer a
safe basis for definite calculations or
plans.
The fact is that, today, party man
ayers, whether democrats OF repub-
licans, are guessing simply guessing.
They are facing puzzle, and one that
presents many sides. Nothing even re-
,notely resembling it has ever before
had their attention.
There will be other reports maybe
many. A situation so complex and so
liable to change will require, and will
receive, constant scrutiny. Neither
side could afford to let week pass
without posting its books and noting
all changes.
It is clear, Of course, that if the
democracy's prospects become at any
time and in any degree alarming, the
President win be his party's prin-
cipal reliance against disaster. He is

the part of . people at war. Faith IN
their armies, confidence in their abil-
ity and spirit, belief in the future,
these are necessary to victory. But
optimism may become too pronounced
for security. Expectations may be
raised too high. 1t is necessary to
moderate tho transports of joy over
accomplishments. lest they carry too
far along the way. Reaction is likely
to result when some reverse occurs,
and in reaction lies danger.
During the past three weeks the
power of the German aims has been
met and defeated in a rertain sector
of the western front. The Hun plan
Of campaign has been thwarted by a
brilliant counter offensive that has
completely upset the calculations of
the high command and caused the re-
gaining by the allies of far more than
the ground occupied by the enemy at
the beginning of his advance, with a
terrible loss to him in men and NUM-
tions. The second battle of the Marne
has been a glorious victory for the
allies.
But it is not safe to regard this ac-
complishment as assuring the early
collapse of the German forces in the
west. However heavily the Hun has
drawn upon his reserves, he still has a
mighty army in the field. well equip
ped and ready for battle, certainly
capable Of maintaining stubborn de-
fense. He may even undertake new
offensive against the allies, somewhere
On the iine-probably, if he so moves,
IN the north.
o. In considering the results Of the past
three weeks of fighting it should be re-
Hembered that the entire "battle line'
in France is $50 miles in length-from
Nieuport, on the channel, to the Swiss
l,order. The chord of the salient that
has just been closed is about thirty
miles long, or about 5a per cent of
the whole. To be sure, in all prob
ability the enemy used much more
thar that percentage of his troops
available for service in the west in
shis operation, which has proved so
disastrous for him, and in terms OF
man power exhaustion the battle has
been of importance far beyond the
geographical ratio.
Hard work lies ahead of the allies,
work that will cost dearly in blood,
work that will try the souls of the men
engaged and test the spirit of thos
Who are supporting them at home. It
may take months to accomplish it,
months marked by sorrows and suffer
ings such as this country has never be-
fore experienced. The hope engen-
dered now by the victory just achieved
will be a sustaining force, especially
a. the fighting has proved beyond
doubt that our soldiers are the equals
Of any veterans in the field and are
certain in the future fighting to make
Q record Of gallantry and capacity that
win win the worlds praise.
