IODGESIT Jidv' v ' \nL'JCL- i >| America's Part inthe War. \ In recent months theie has been a j great accession of German confidence * based upon the submarine and the Russian revolution; there has been a new hope that Germany might win the war, after all. But these hopes have gone glimmering with the re! turn of the Russians to the attack, the unsatisfactory harvest of the sub , marine, which discloses the fact that j it cannot win the war this year or ! next, at the present rate, and.finally, the entrance of the United States into the war and the arrival of Ameri* can troops in France. The echo of all this we hear in the present crisis in Berlin. It is no part of the task of the military reviewer to discuss political events. We have not yet any satisfactory evidence as to the true meaning of the passing of Bethmann-Hollweg and the pending changes in the German government or system, but it is plain that these changes are the fruit of military disappointments and are manifestly consequences af a growing recognition in Germany of the fact that the war cannot be won and may be lost. We shall have a real measure of the German spirit when there emerges from the fog some definite statement of German peace proposals. Unless these proposals accept unequivocally the Russian view of no annexations | and nu indemnities, it is safe to conclude that they will be thrust aside by the nations now fighting Germany. Eyen if they do make such proposals, thq Allies will infallibly demand a German agreement to a settlement of the Alsace-Lorraine question in favor of France, of the Italian Irredenta in favor of Italy and the reconstitution of the Balkans in/favor of Serbia, insuring that state a seaboard on the Adriatic and an increase of Serb lands at the expense of Austria. That an evidence on the part of r* J -M t. ? *9 nrUI. | vjermuuy, uuu ui iici amco, ui mnI ingness to open these questions might lead to an agreement to settle colonial questions about the green table and to negotiate on the question of German interests in central Africa, seems to me quite likely. But this is mere speculation. Germany must first renounce conquest, second con" sent to sacrifices; until these things happen there can be no peace conference this year, or before a campaign of 1918. Yet recognizing all this it seems to me plain that we are entering the last year of the war. For my own part I am convinced that if the war lasts until the fourth anniversary, H g There can be no doubt I B n as to tlie merit of Cardui, E S8 i the woman's tonic, in ffl the treatment of many BB && troubles peculiar to M fxS women. 1 he thousands kIm of women who have been |1 helped by Cardui in the |1 I I P^f 4? years, is conclu I I live proof that it is a | I I good medicine for women B fl BB who suffer.

The temper in Austria, the change wrought in the near East by Russian renunciation of annexations in Turkey, the growing clearness of perception in Germany that victory is impossible and that disaster lies in future prolongation of the struggle are to me clear indications that we are on the edge of a change in the whole situation, a change which will make military events from now on of less importance than political. In all this it seems to me the Uni- ? ted States has a very clear mission. Wp must first nf nil continue to send tnen and supplies and munitions to Europe, because I believe that the arrival of American troops in France has alreads been an unmistakably powerful influence in bringing a, change in Germany. The more troops we send to France the less chance there will be that we shall haye heavy losses and long casualty lists. The fact that we mean to go on will I believe, be a great force for peace, the first sign that we were slowing down might act as did the Russian revolution to arouse a German hope / that the war might be won. A few weeks ago, when Russian soldiers were quitting the front and there was still no suggestion of an American army in France, Germany M believed she could win the war and adopted a policy of extreme rigor. Her statesmen and publicists proclaimed victory in sight and asserted that this victory would mean the real world domination of (jermany. But the Russian soldiers returned to the hattle and an American armv ar rived in Europe with results that are 3 plain. There has been a profound change in German expectation, and this ceange has shown itself in on* mistakable ways. The submarine, the separate peace with Russia.the impotence of America?these have all proved illusions. ;'v But, on the other hand, if Russia again pauses, if the United States . .'-M contents itself wilh sending only a first expedition to France, German j?j hope may revive and German determination to fight on may return. Then we shall lose many lives, both of soldiers now in France and soldiers who will ultimately have to be sent from this country, if the war takes on a new and bitter phase.? Frank H Simonds in the American -z Review of Reviews for August, 1917. Save Every Leaf. ? Reports from the South Carolina markets are that tobacco is selling there at 50 to 100 per cent high er than last year ana maicauona are that even the bumper crop of 1913 will be surpassed this year. Local buyers who have been down there report that th? commonest grades of primings are bringing unheard of prices and urge that every planter ? save all his lugs or primings this years, as all cigarette tobacco will doubtless bring high prices. There is a greater shortage of tobacco today than has ever been known in the history of the market aud there is a wonderful opportunity before the farmer.
