The Barre daily times. (Barre, Vt.) 1897-1959, 1918-03-30


When the French succeeded in stop
ping the Germans ON the Marine, Marshal
Jofrre was at the zenith Of his military
career. lie was in supreme command OF
the French and was recognized as a
strategist of great ability in defensive
warfare. lie had succeeded in stopping
the Germans. At the same time, how
ever il was recognized that there might
be better men in offensive warfare, the
kind of warfare which the French gov
eminent proposed to put into operation
from that time. Hence Marshal Joifre
was supplanted in supreme command al
though retained in the military councils
of his government, A strategist OF an.
other type was selected to lead the
French in their attacks against the en-
trenohed Germans.
Now, almost four years later, the
events are repeated; and the appoint
ment of General Foch to supreme com
mand of all the allied and American
armies in France may be taken TO mean
that the German offensive is considered
virtually halted and a leader of differ
ent type has been placed in command OF
the combined forces TO conduct the new
kind of warfare that seems to be de-
manded, while Hsig Petain and Pershing
retain the leadership of the British, the
French and the American armies, respec'
tivelv. The new commander in chief is
looked upon as a master hand at strate-
Nv and he il is who has been training the
so-called army of maneuver" for the
expected open warfare following more
than three years of trench fighting. An
other thing which commends such a
change is that the three armies will be
hereafter operated under a single leader
ship, with all the efforts co-ordinating
and without the scattered efforts that
have marked the allied operations here
tofore. The vast resources of the Brit
ish. the French and the Americans com
bined under one leadership should be
vastly more effective than when operet
ing separately or after only intrequent
conferences A great offensive blow
must be under single head or single
council. There is reason TO hope that
such thing is now possible

THE CALL FOR AMERICAN REIN
F0RCEMENTS.

Now that Great Britain has added her
voice to that of France in a cry for
swifter movement of American troops to
France the situation must appear TO
those in charge in Washington to be so
serious as to warrant needing the call
for assistance. There are many hun
dreds of thousands of men in the tram
ing camps of the United States at the
present time, large proportion Of whom
have had several months of military
training and ought, therefore, to be IN
fair way to make soldiers. The training
in these camps could be polished oil as
soon as they arrive in Europe, where
they could be placed in the big reserve
that is said to be building or already
built by Great Britain and France When
mingled with seasoned. soldiers they
would far sooner gain the soldiers com
plete estate than they would by a whole
years training by themselves. More
over, the time to save the war is right
now and not year from now. Ger
manv's hardest blow of the whole war IS
being delivered at this time; now is the
urgent need of requirements. Hence it
would seem a reasonable policy to send
these men who have been in training for
long time in the United States and to
send them as rapidly as possible. And in
sending them it would seem to be good
idea, as suggested by Major General
Leonard A. Wood to divide the trans
ports into classes according to their
speed and to send them across in such
classes so that the speedy ships would
not be held up by the slow moving ships
in the same convoy. In fact, the sugges-
ton is so good that it is a wonder 1t was
not made a year ago. But even though
there should be some handicaps to pre-
vent such grouping of ships the move
ment of the loaded transports ought not
to be retarded a single hour longer than
necessary. We've got the men to win
decisive victory in the war; the men
ought to be sent, providing of course,
there is available shipping.

OF dealing with the public had given
grounds for the trouble.
The North German Gazette, an olilcial
organ, declared that the strike was a
form OF war sabotage in the interests OF
peace.
DR.. Drews, the Prussian minister OF
the interior, said the strike served I'M
mensely the interests OF Germanys enc
mics but that the confidence of the gov
eminent and the Prussian people had not
been shaken and it would, as heretofore,
press the internal reforms.
The Social Democratic party leaders
were accused of encouraging the strike,

waerts, an outspoken SOCIALIST organ.

Bavaria as having thanked the Demo

There is cause for great satisfaction
among American people that despite the
pronouncedly increased activity OF the
German submarines in waters contigu-
ous to the British Isles no transport
carving American troops has been sunk.
OF course, there is great regret over the
sinking of merchant vessel but the re-
greet is softened by the knowledge that
the crew of the merchant vessel escaped
almost to a man, while the cargo Is as
nothing compared to a shipload OF Amer
lean soldiers There is an entirely dlf-
ferent result when a submarine does get
in an effective blow against transport
carrying several thousand soldiers, for
it is practically impossible to get all the
occupants of the vessel away in the
small boats. Therefore, while the loss
of rs British merchant ships in one week
is a severe blow to the allied cause it is
not so much to be regretted as the loss
of transport and its precious freight
would be- The ships and the supplies
can be replaced.

the police while studying the strike SIT
uation in Berlin. The Socialist commit
teeman said that the strike was OF spon-
taneous origin.
A Progressive member of the commit
tee. commenting on the strike, said that
some of the measures put IN force
AGAINST workmen were causing mereas-
ing restlessness in the non socialist
workmen's circles. A Socialist deputy
WINS quoted in German newspaper as
saving that the ruling classes above all
were responsible for the strike, but he
added "the Russians. however, would
greatly err if they believe that there
would soon be a chaos in Germany sim

A question as to the future status OF
the Socialists in the majority party
block of the Reiehstag was raised Dy
some of the critics. The Norwaerts as
serted that the Socialist party had not
changed its attitude since the beginning
of the war and that this meant that, as
heretofore, it WAS willing to defend the
country against foreign plans OF con
quest but would combat the intention
noticeable in Germany to continue war
until open or masked annexstions have
been achieved The party added Inc

Naturally the government officials at
Washington might be expected to be
among the first to catch any panicky
feeling over the advance of the Germans
into allied territory in view OF the fact
that the United States is comparative
newcomer in the war game as practlced
nowadays and, like all newcomers, might
be expected to be more or less nervous.
Nevertheless all the reports that have
come out of Washington, at least from
officials in the war department and from
officers in the army, have been saturated
with confidence in the outcome OF the
great battle that has been raging for
more than a week. Such confidence must
be based on something besides wishes
and hopes. Therefore. downhearted
Americans ought to take new courage.
