GERMAN STRENGTH NOTED Willhard Hambleton, Who Took Part In Capture of VI my Ridge, Tells Rotary Club Members That -- Yankees Are Best Fighters. Up to last Easter, when "VI my ridjre was captured, the allies were whipped, and today England and France are practically exhausted. "If the war- against Germany Is won. It will have to be American soldiers who will win It." This was the declaration of "Wlllhard Hambleton, late of the Canadian over seas forces, wounded in action at the battle of Vimy Ridge, who addressed the Rotary Chib at its luncheon at the Benson Hotel yesterday noon, with an Impassioned plea for American citizens to awaken to a realization of the re sponsibility that rests upon them and to throw all their energy as rapidly as possible Into the war. "When the President and the officials at Washing-ton tell you to get ready for a war that may last five years, I can assure you that they are telling you the truth and that they are right In their position. "Two things might bring a decision within a year either revolution with in Germany and that is not coming or for" the American people to Bend over an army of a million men and smash 'em down. "To send over contingents of 10,000 or 20,000 at a time and. put them di rectly into action will be useless they will be eaten up as fast as they can be sent. Larce Force Desired. ' "Unless at least 600,000 men can be thrown into the battle line their weight will not be felt and the war cannot be won. "At present It Is nip and tuck for the mastery of the air on the Western front, with the advantage on Germany's side. The fact that they are still able to spare machines for raids on England indicates that they have a slight ad vantage." Mr. Hambleton paid a glowing" tribute to the American aa a soldier. "Before 1 went over I was led to be ll ve," he said, "that the British Tommy and the German soldier were the best fighting men In the world. After 16 months over there, fighting with the British Tommy and against the German soldier, 1 can say that, while-the Amer ican man 1st not so well drilled as the British or German soldier, as a fighting man the American, with his individual Initiative and courage, stands head and shoulders above 'any other damned thing on earth.' "The German signs of armistice, or anything of that kind that they do, cannot bo relied, upon, for they rec ognize as fair any means of warfare." He recounted an incident where the Germans, after making tentative moves for a temporary armistice in one line of trenches, suddenly released a flood of poison gas that killed 700 of the Canadian troops. MXation Murder Crazy. "The German people seem to have gone completely crazy on the idea of murder, and, as far as I have been able to observe, they do not recognize the Red Cross in any way except a way that shows an absolute loss of national morality. I know of five hos pital Bhips that have been ruthlessly unk by them, though there was no possible military advantage to be gained from it, and hundreds of help less lives were sacrificed. They have recognized the Red Cross hospitals In the field only to attack them and sub ject them to bombing or shellfire. My wife, a nurse In the Red Cross serv ice, took charge of one hospital for 62 hours, when a bombing attack had killed the two surgeons in charge, and because the wounded were coming in and must be cared for, she performed major operations and kept the place going until relief came." As to food conditions, he said that the German soldiers are well fed and that quantities of stores indicating how well Germany cares for her fighting men were captured in the cantonments on Vimy Ridge. As to Interior con ditions he had only second hand in formation from prisoners, but their tes timony was that the civilian popula tion is frightfully underfed, all the principal supplies being conserved for the fighting men. Regarding the statements that the Germans are using the bodies of their own dead to make glycerin to use In the manufacture of high explosives, he said that there was in the strong hold of Vimy Ridge one of the labora tories In which this treatment of their corpses was carried on.
