"THE AMERICAN PERIL."
No wonder certain (Jerman news
papers now call upon high officials
lot the Empire to tell the German
! people the truth about "the Aineri
! can ueril" which threatens "new
; danger to German military success,
while the Pester Lloyd of Budapest
issues a warning that "American in
tervention has already begun to be
felt to such an extent that it must
be considered seriously."
No amount of censoring and sup
pression can long keep the facts
about American fighting, as estab
lished by events of this week, from
becoming known in Germany.
The German High Command may
leave the word American out of its
war renorts. but it only admits
thercbv the formidable significance
of that which it tries to conceal.
The part played by American
troops in the Allied offensive which
began last Thursday is the great
new and salient feature of the
struggle.
American successes are certain to
1 be proclaimed far and wide by the
press of Allied and neutral countries
in Europe.
Iiy ignoring the evidences of Amer
ican military strength, the German
war lords only reveal their dread of
the force they have bought to be
little and their fear of the conse
quences when the, German people
learn as they certainly will learn
it the full trut.li
"I regret," the Prussian -Minister
of War said last week in the Keich
frtag. "that frequently far-reaching
promises have been made which af
terward lead to all kinds of com
plaints when under pressure of
necessity they are not kept."
Read in the light of what is now
taking place in France, the Prussian
War Minister's regret assumes a
meaning many shades more sombre
fcr the Imperial military party.
That party promised the German
people that American troops should
never land on European soil in time
or in sufficient strength to halt the
advance of German armies.
If assured the German people
that American soldiers must be at
host half-trained, incapable of stand
ing against the smallest units of the
German fighting machine.
A few of those "half-trained
Americans" the advance guard
only of millions on the way are
now- smashing live and ten miles into
the German flank on an advanced
sector on the western front, taking
towns by the dozen, sending thous
ands of prisoners to the rear and
sweeping onward singing, cheering,
rejoicing the hearts and redoubling
the strength of French and Hritish.
These "half-trained Americans"
have arrived in time for Gen. Foch
to use' them in a counter-blow which
promises to paralyze completely the
great German offensive in the west
and develop into an Allied move
ment of the first magnitude.
"Half-trained Americans" are kill
ing Germans, routing Germans and
pursuing Germans with a rush and
a relentlcssness that German niili-
tary science supplies no rules for
meeting.
From the German point of vicwr,
also, the superb lighting qualities
i which American troops have dis-
i played this week in the biggest ac
i tion in which they have taken part
is the factor of new and far-reaching
significance in the conflict.
For Germany it Is, in ominous
truth, "the American peril."
There are Germans like Harden
and Delbrueck capable of measuring
the danger and courageous enough to
cry warning to the German people.
Presently the war party itself will
be forced to plead the military pow
er of the United States as the strong
est element in that "pressure of ne
cessity" invoked so often, as the
Prussian War Minister declared, to
explain its unkept promises.
It may yet prove that the German
people do not value militarism, and
dynasty through which it rules,
above the last drops of the nation's
blood.
Let more German newspapers de
mand and publish the truth about
the "new danger to German mili
tary success."
Truth and danger were alike re
vealed this week in those young
Americans blithcfully rolling back
the German lines and taking town
after town between Chateau-Thierry
and Soissons.
Let Germany study well "the
American peril."
If she grasps its full extent it may
save her from utter ruin. New York
World.
