THE BIG DRIVE.
There are certain phases of the
great battle now raging on the
banks of the Marne which thought
ful observers ' may well consider.
Pessimism, as well as over-confid
ence, should be guarded against. The
situation at the front is of course
serious, but such a condition should
only serve to simulate patriotism
and war work.
In the first place, It is not un
reasonable to interpret the shifting
of the scene of attack from the
Flanders front to the Soissons
Rheims sector as evidence of Ger
many's realization that the attempt
to reach the English channel was a
failure.
On March 21 when the Germans
started their drive for Amiens, the
strides made the first few days were
not unlike , the advances made this
past week in the Aisne sector.
The success of the present drive is
attributed to the perfecting of gas
shells used by the enemy. These
shells, according to the reports from
the front, may be fired a distance cf
eight miles, herebv making useless
the allies' second lines of defense.
The Germans are now within forty-
five miles cf Paris, but it is not at all
probable that they will be able to
continue their present pace. The
llics will find some way to counter
act the fee's advantage of superior
gas shells.
There is yet another phase to con
sider in the present advance. The
crown prince has mass?d on his front
fully (57.T.OOO ir.cn which greatly out
numbers the allied forces. In the
meantime. General Foch is rushing
reserve troop.s to the scene of battle.
Among these reserve troops are
merican units who will be joyful
at the thought of getting into the
thick of the great struggle.
This fact that American soldiers
will probably take part in this drive
will remind the observer of the real
objective of the kaiser in his wes
tern front offensive. His real aim
s to bat the American forces in a
race against time. The kaiser knows-
that there will soon be a million and
a half Americans in France, he
knows that the president has been
given an unlimited army and that
there will be unlimited financial sup
port. It is this spectre of Amer
ica's untold strength, in men, re
sources, money and spirit which
causes the kaiser to strain every
division ot his armies to bring a
speedy victory in France. The kais-
r can only do his best to win a
decision before the full force of
morica strikes.
President Wilson. Secretaries Mc
Adoo, Baker and Daniels, Mr.
Schwab and Mr. Ryan are all do
ing their best to win tiie race ag-tinst
time. And there should be no
Americans on the sidelines in this
race. Every person in this country
can help win it. Luxuries and sur
plus must be cast aside in order to
get down to running weight, for it
is a race against death between de
mocracy and autocracy. The sold
ier at the front will do his part. That
he has proved at Seicheprey and
Cantigny. It is the soblicr at home
that must, show greater speed.
