IGHT HONDRED THOUSAND American troops already in France—one million by Jnly 15! A million fighters of the sort that took Cantigny, turned back the enemy advance on Vevilly Wood, bayonetted the Germans out of ‘luulgonne, and—fighting side by side with French and British, holding fifty miles of the Allied front—helped to master, ove after another, the three great German offensives since March 21. A million fighters from the Nation of which the Petit Parisien, on the anniversary of Gen. Pershing’s arrival in France, said: The effort of the great New World Republic since 1917 has been colossal, surpassing all optimistic expectations. Today its army holds @ part of the front, to-morrow it will occupy ® place of honor thera By ceaselessly increasing its man Power it will terminate the war. This is no illusion or exag- Reration. When Gen. March, Chief of the U. S. Army General Staf, announces that “we have now passed the 800,000 mark in troops shipped overseas” and the War Council awures the Senate that tte shipmene of American troops to France are of a monthly volume “that more than counterbalances the lossea of the Allied armics,” these are tremendous facts. ’ ‘They are facts which, together with the meagre results, from the German point of view, of the Battle of the Oise—a costly third assault in which Germany’s picked forces were brought to a halt in three days—must rend a shiver of ghastly doubt and depression through the whole German Empire—not excepting its war lords. On the western front a terrible turn of the tide has begun to make itsrtf fo't, far enoner than Germany thought possible: The irperia) Armies, then, are not invincible! ris on the one hand and tho Chana ports on the other both lie beyond barriers which are stiffening instead of yielding! Each new attempt to break ihrough is hloadier era costlier than the last! Most omninous of a‘, the barriers are reinforced by constantly arriving materia! from sources of supply which Germany can po longer match. Jer best efforts to intercept and destroy those rein forceménts have failed and continue to fuil. The ferrying of Americ despite the utmost exertions of German U boats in European watern. The ferrying of American troope across the Atlantic reached its record volume lavt month and is still increasing from wéek to week, despite the fact that Germany extended her submarine warfare to American shores, On neither side of the Atlantic has she been able to effect anything with her U boats beyond prowling raids on mar- chant commrce. Sinking a few merchant vessels in American waters can no more check the swift and steady transmission of American fighting power to the western war front than can a new Austrian blow at Italy — ordered, no doult, from Berlin in the hope of weakening Allied con- centration, The German war machine is still capable of doing damage. Tt ia not yet smashed. It will make further and formidable efforts in the direction of Paris or the sea, or both. It will dash itself against Wrench, British and American fronts in the desperate hope of finding an unguarded spot. It will force its way a few miles farther forward at this place or that by paying a frightful price in men. But the great point is the discovery, the certainty, that now reacts both ways; that adda to Allied courage even as it takes from Gern that piles up reserves of spirit behind Allied resistance all the while it is drawing heavily upon German morale in the midst of German attack—the certainty that Germany's biggast offensive has been slowed down and blocked in each successive stage with the help of a fresh fighting force in the Allied line, which is only the preliminary promise of the full reinforcement on its way. If half a million Americans at the front have filled French and British with so much new strength and confidence, what will three millions do? an confidence; Three millions Major Gen, Crowder, Provost Marshal General, told ihe Senate Committee on Military Affairs last week, is the nun. her which will represent the American Army at home and overseas by Aug. 1 next With one million troops in France July 1, and the Natjon’s war pace quickening every day, it need not take another year to put three million more there.
