LondOn.-The stupend0usness of the
American war program has staggered
the people of Great Britain. Realiza-
ton OF the fact that Uncle Sam Is in
h war to fight 1t to a finish and
that he has the men and money has
given new energy and optimism to the
people of England. While there was
y any doubt in their mind that the
allies could prevent a German victory,
they are pulling together now with
new vigor and determination, fully
believing that with the powerful help
OF America they ard their French,
Belgian and Italian allies can give
Germany a crushing blow either this
year or next.

e;ecsent which has hoped for a terni-

peace has born transformed into q
most militass body now that the
naked hand Of the German annexa-
tionists has been exposed. The cry
everywhere In Great Britain is for a
continuation Of the wal until the ac-
ceptance of the allied terms has been
assured. Whether the country Is war
weary or not Is q small matter now
that German duplicitv has again been
revealed by the action in Russia.

That the United States has stiffened
up all the allies is most obvious. The

amazed the European world with It's
industry in war preparation. There

States will be unable to do any actual
fighting this year. Uncle Sans SOL
diers have been In the fighting for sey.

straight from the front give the most
glowing accounts OF their proficiency

They learned quickly. They have
been eager from the start to test their
mettle with the Huns. and In every
clash where the forces have been any
thing like equal the Yankees have
completely routed the Germans. On
several occasions young Americans
from states west Of the Mississippi
river have been thrown up against the
Prussian shock troops. The Prussians
were vent after the "Yanks." as they
ARE called, to teach them fear Of the
German soldiery. The Yankees
showed no nor respect for the Prus-
slams than they showed for the Next
cans on the border. and. It may be
said, drove them to cover almost as
readily.
A French journalist who had an OPP
portunity to zee the Americans at
close range says they will quickly de-
velop into the best fighters on the
front. They have courage. alertness
