It cannot be too often insisted that the present good news from the front should speed up rather than slow down every American activity which bears upon the winning of the war. Lord Milner, the British Minister of War, while emphasizing the duty of the European Allies “to abate nothing of their energy, and indeed to strive as if America were not behind them,” puts the situa- tion with a clearness which will be instantly appreciated by every, intelligent mind in the United States: i “America’s strength—great as it is—can only be relied pon to bring about a decision if it is added to the forces of the European Allies and not substituted for them. “Our pressure, both military and economic, must not be abated for one instant. From a military point of view the successes are of no value unless they are followed up, and to reap the fruits of them the enemy must be given no rest. Weak- ening of his civilian as well as ais military morale depends upon increasing pressure. “Again, we cannot permit Germany to recruit her strength t by exploiting her occupied territories in the East, and the only q way of preventing such recruitments is to allow her no leisure. : “Lastly, it 1s of vital importance to all belligerents to ‘7 bring the war to an end at the earliest possible date with a f view to conserving a reasonable balance of resources for the work of reconstruction. H “Every thinking man must agree that a great effort to win an early victory is better business than a more languid and protracted campaign. ‘osts, both in men and money, will be increased and not lessened by delay.’ i Compelling common sense of this sort should be ever active in American minds to counteract the subtle influence of the all-goes- well-and-it-will-soon-be-over spirit which hints at an easier pace. | The brighter the prospect, the bigger should be the movement of; American forces to the front—the swifter their advance, the faster the work at home to back them up—to the end that the greatest possible number may return at the earliest possible date. | —_—-+ An American oj] tanker with an American gun crew aboard reports that it sunk a submarine 400 miles off Sandy Hook after forty minutes’ fighting.
