BISMARCK EVE TRIBUNE WAR SITUATION TODAY SERIOUS BUT NOT ALARMING, SAYS LYON Our Allies Are Not Faltering; They Have Confidence in ‘Awnerieas| But They Say to Us, “Now Is the Time; Now Is the Hour We Need You” By C. C. LYON (Tribune Reporter with General Per- shing’s Army.) With the American Army in France, May 6.—The general military situa- tion is serious but not alarming. It's inconceivable that Germany can strike] a any harder blows than she has already struck on the western front. The al- lies have withstood them, and their will to ~win is indomitable. It is the opinion of military experts who know a good deal more about this war game than I do that this world conflict either will end within a very few ‘months or else will drag on for a long time—perhaps a year or two more. Germany’s sole idea in putting on the greatest offensive of the entire war was to crush the British and French armies at a single blow and put them out of business before the full strength of America could be thrown into the balance on their side. Suffering Keen in Germany The morale o fthe German people was such that the German military ma- chine was forced to strike when it did, Every report out of Germany points to the keenest suffering among the civil populations; a”dire shortage of food, scant clothing allowances, im- proper medical attention, widespread sickness and an alarming death rate. Peace’ with Russia . and Rumania brought only partial returns. It will be months before either country can begin furnishing Germany with any appreciable quantity of food. The only immediate result favorable to the cen- tral powers was to.Telease vast bodies of troops for jservice-on the western front, The German people are sick and tired of the war, and victories over weaker: foes such as Russia and Ru- mania raised their spirits only momen- tarily, because they always came back to a realization that the war would not be won until their armies had con- quered the British and French. The big offensive has not crushed the allies. Every day sees them in better shape to withstand any addi- tional blows that Germany may strike. A year from now Germany may have less chance of succecding in a big offensive than she has hid now Military Machine Fs! Many wise observer situa- tion profess to believe rimany, having failed to put oy nockeut on the allies, will very 1 be ing peace through Homatic chan- nels. Overtures might be expected to.come at any time. »The German military machine has failed to deliver to: the’ eGrman people, who are lons- ing for peace, the great military vic- tory it has been, promising them for so long. Now, it would seem, some- thing else must be done to end the war. Assuming, however, that the mili- tary powers in Germany are obdurate and refuse to see the handwriting on the wall, the obvious result will be must go on, because the bly in no mood to e that will leave mili- m paramount in the German em- France was never so militant as now. Under the leadership of the new premier, Clemenceau, the coun- as put to rout its bands energy in the country is being direct- ed into war channels. It is beyond belief that France would make a sep burden of the struggle on Gr tain, the United States and Italy, In the first place, I don’t think it possible for the an army ever to whip the French ny. Likewise Great Britain is confident and defiant. The punishment s ved in the big German off te peace and throw the Bri- ive was hardly unlooked for by the Brit- ish people, who had figured — for months that practically the whole weight of the ‘German army on the western front would be thrown against them, : Overwhelmed by vastly larger fc the British retired, but in doing so they went back foot by foot, cool and orderly, all the while inflicting on the mans losses greater than were ever suffered by any other army during this or any other war, | Both the British and the French to- day stand in an attitude of confidence in thelr ability’ to hold the Germ: chordes at Bay until the United S$! can. come forward with enough b onets to decide the war. hurry!” a high Freych statesman de- clared to me the other day. is the hour that we need y6ur men. to do for our se in the next 1 very well, What you may be abl cause and your own year or two year: but now is thé hour we need you The British, Freach and the Ital- jans are going to hold on, but the feel- ing that permeates all three camp is that America must come quickly with enough men to count. , It may develop into a race between ‘Aineriean soldiers on the one hand, headed for the allied line and Rus- sian and Rumanian foodstuffs, headed for ‘German consumption. Which will win? . |. To my own way of thinking, it is going to depend on America how long the war lasts. Our allies are waiting for us, and won't quit, feeling they can depend on us.

MADE FROM SAME " COCOANUT YOU USE SHREDDED ON CAKE The idea of making ;butter—ye3, table butter to spread on bread—from the white meat of cocoanuts, may seem like a revolutionary: idea: But this is exactly what is being done by progressive American manufacturers, in an effort to provide American peo- ple with an appetizing, wholesome but- ter that will take the place of the creamery butter which is every day growing egarcerend more ‘high-prices.

Nut fats are just as digestible as butter ‘fats, and equally nutritious. We all know ° the-value of nuts as ‘energy and fuel foods—well, this food, value is offerea in nut butter. Added to the fact that nut fats melt at as low and even low- 7 er temperature than butter fat, easy milation and digestibility is m- sured.
