fore August in Germany that the Un-
ited States has played, is playing, And
will continue to play, such a. supreme-
ly itOortantrolee.
It .is. -the Ossession or the • lack of
food thattsegeong to decide this war.
It was not on the day that our neigh-
bors to thesouth of us declared war
against Germany -it was on the day
that they decided that the neutral
notions must leedeth.emseIvell-t- that
they chalked up for the unspeakablet
Hun the handwriting on the *all.
Until that day our enemies had been
drawing large, supplies of to* food
and of necessary raw -material from
neutrals by way of the United States.
It is to the lasting credit of American
common sense that, despite the pite-
ous bleating of the neutral nations,
these in authority at Washington did
not thr to invent any elaborate sys-
tem for the feeding of neutrals -for
any conceivable system would certain-
ly have been evaded with the object
of passing on food to Germany -but
bluntly told the latter to "feed them-
selves."
YICTORY BY `NEXT AUGUST .. A
DISTINCT PROBABILITY
. (By Pciliticus)
Iii more than one New Year's mes-
sage, Mr. Lloyd 'George has intimat-
ed ethat he had hope of the triumph
4' of our cause before this year is
throughIt is certainly the case that
many people of sagacity and first-class
information in Great Britain bell Yes
that there will be a German colla ee
by next June or July -and. certainly
not later than August, I think -for
reasosn which I will proceed to give
-that this view is well-founded.,
Beyond doubt, the Germans believe
that the series of attacks which they
have inauguarated, and. - will develop
with increasing • intensity, on the
western front are going to he sdc-
• eessful. They have take d chances in
the east. They have rushed across
divisions and guns with the full in-
tention of securing a decision in
_...
their favor before next moonier. They
• mean to stoke their all on one last
throw of the dice. They -will, in the
time between now and next summer,
make their last -and greatest effort in
the war, employing in the effort their
uttermost resources of ffionitions and
• txnoney and their last reserves of
men.
, .
.We are • on -.the eve of , great • and.
grave events-of'
fighting which will
be memorable so long. as this world
lasts. The bloodiest battles of an the
war are coming soon. They -will be
fought under conditions which ,may
render the retentioa of this ground
or that by the allies a Matter of ilY1-
• possibility. "You must be prepared"
writes a high authority, "to see the
German pushing us, or trying to
push its back to the western, slopes
of the Wind -Ridge and the Messines
Ridge, and wrenching us frqm our
grip of Paschendaele• Ridge. You
• muse be prepared for very heavy at-
tacks in the Champagne and in' Al-
sace - stupendous and prolonged
-
battles which must end with the final
exhaustion of one side or the other!'
Ne.: doubt it is likely -nay,' it is
cerea,n-that, in the course ref these
desperate onslaughts, the allied lines
will bend and give in places. There
will be gallant millet to fill dangerous
gaps. Ground --possibly much ground
-will be given. But, for all that, the
Germans are not going to • break
through. That is the one prediction
that can be made witli the utmost
sertairity.
• Nodi- in connection With the des-
perate onsla.ughts of •which I have
spoken, if we want to see things as
••. they are, we must. first of all, sep-n
arate in our mind the cause of these
onslaughts frome the circumstances
• which have rendered then! practi-
cable. With regard to the letter we
I all of course, are able to re.alrze that
the Russian defection has enabled
the Germans to employ on the west -
, Now we can be Pretty- sure_ that -
none of the neutral nations has any
food of say kind to spare for -Ger-
many. Tit&efore that country is short
by many; many millions of tons of
foodstuff* Which used to .cenee• to
her, in "those days, which are no
more," from the United States, , by
'way of neutral countries. We may not
know too much -though we may, sus-
pect a great deal -about the story
that the Germans were terribly short
of food reserves, but we do know that
the Germans were terribly short of
food in the spring of 1917, when they
were securing supplies, in the way
mentioned, from neutral, and .1 should
guess that, with those supplies cut
off, they Will in' these times oftworld-

further, that our Italian allies lost

These are circumstances which,
beyond question, have made possible.
in their full magnitude, the desperate

they are not their cause. The cause
is to be found in the part being play-
ed'by the United States. It is that
part which makes the securing of a
• decision by Germany before the sum-
mer so vital to her success and even -
t:0 her continuance in the war.
In saying this much, 1 am not re-
ferring to the soldiers whom the Unit-
ed States may place in the field-
either- ultimately or in the near -future
Frankly, 1do not believe that either
the German general staff, or the Ger-
mac people, have much fear that the

point of view, prove a very formidable
foe to:them 3ltis year. They hold to

ments, prices advanced fully fifty
cents oh the close of last week.. The
storm ver the week ed and the re -
suiting blockade on the railroads were
respon ible for the scatitiness of the-
suppa . Only the cattle that arriv-ed
at thej Union Yards on Saturday and,

Weston, and were released on Mcnday
morn rig, were on sale. They mune
