An Associated Pross wire from
Washington dated Wednesday says:
No attempt te mado here to minimize
the seriousness of tho situation In the
war thoatres In Europe
The United States Is in the war ami
will go through with It but any
hope of a short struggle has gone
glimmering with Uio apparont almost
complete collapse of the Russian war
machine. '
The development was not unexpect
ed by many army officers. When the
orTemtlvo of July 1 was started by tho
Russian forces, the most frequent
comment heard hero wns that It prob
ably was the dying kick V of the old
Russian machine.
For the United States th Russian
collapse may have an immediate and
direct bearing. It will, If the Gorman
general staff presses Its advantage
release additional German forc
es to twister up the western front,
where American troops are to bo en
gaged. The German line in the west has not
been seriously Impaired at any point,
offiHals here believe. It has been
noted, in fact, that the one strategic
advantage gained in' recent fighting
was gained by the Germans..
Many officers here lxlievo that
when a small sector of the British line
In Belgkiin waa overwhelmed, the
Germans improved their weakest
front materially. That view Is based
on ooinion that the only hope of de
cisive attainments for the allies in
the west lies In rolling up the Ger
man flank where It reaches the sea
In Belgium.
