LONG WAY OFF We Must Set Our Face for Long Hard Struggle. (Spokesman-Review) There is one way in which we might lose this. war—in letting ‘the thought slip into the public tmind that victory is nearat hand. {Mhose persons who are holding wt an expectation that the Ger- mans will be defeated this year or in a few months are hurting the allied cause. No one in high authority in al- ly circles entertains that improb- able thought. Several months ago former President Taft said it would take 4,000,000 or 5,000,000 men from the United States and two or three years to win, and the consensus of official judgment in England and France confirms that belief. It is obvious that the administration’s revised plans for extending the draft ages to 18 and 45 were adopted on grave in- formation from the French and British governments that the Ger- man. armies are still capable of striking mighty blows and that » 5,000,000 soldiers will be needed from this side to bring the kaiser to terms. We have now, overseas or in training here, as General March, chief of staff, told the house com- mittee Monday, an army of 8,- 000,000 men. General Crowder explained that the new program is expected to raise 2,300,000 more men and that 2,000,000 will be called by the middlé of next year. General March added that “we * must not delude’ ourselves ‘with the idea that those in . the 18 and 19 classes are going to be deferred any lengthof time. have to be called early next spring in order to get their training in! time to get to France.” Foch, Haig, Pershing, March, Crowder and_ others deep in mili- tary knowledge and high in com- --mand know that the. enemy is far from beaten. He.is falling back just now, but he has fallen back before, only to resume the offensive again and again with renewed fury, and nothing could better suit the kaiser now than to have the thought take root in the United States that the job isas good as done. Once let that im- pression become general and there will follow a widespread and ‘dan- gerous letting down of purpose at home. Effort would slacken in many ways—in shipbuilding, in food conservation, in purchase of Liberty bonds and war savings stamps, in raising and training armies, in supporting the Red Cross. Most races are lost in the home streteh, often by riders or drivers They will) who think the purse isas good as won and ease down. Many wars have been lost after the seemingly victorious armiés and generals thought the victory was clinched. We must not lose this high cause by easing down and assuming that the Germans are whipped and will be routed soon. ciainaanadie aes Prof. and Mrs. W. A. Lustie ar- rived here yesterday from Seattle. Prof. Lustie is Supt. of our public schools for the term commencing Sept. 9th.
