Bruce McDaniel Comments on
Situation in Letter to
, Brother 7
, j . ,
One of the most Interesting and
enlightening . letters- received from
France comes from Sergeant Bruce
McDaniel ' to his brother. Ivan Mc-
- DanleL of the commercial club. A
lew excerpts follow:
"Yo 4 wanted, some. dope for the
hunch. Following are some lac!
dents that may prore of value
When we arrived here tfjven months
ago our weakest hones portrayed
triumphal marca down the streets of
Portland not later than the first of
August.! We had fair visions of rose
wreaths bung about our necks'.' and
the valiant band strutting before us
as we returned the ehouu of welcome
from those we left behind.- Christ
was the first date set. It passed
, amid a flurry of French snow and a
passe celebration, the French tight
ened their Up bit and doggd1r-
malntalned that the New Year would
see the- finish. .-That, date has xonie
and gone. Now some stoutly declare
' that August will see the end. Re
cently I wss talking with a tieuten
ant from 'the Verdun lector and
asked him directly when he thought
the end, would come. - He merely
shrugged his shoulders and replied:
"'The Americans think In August;
ve who have been la it so long ean-
, not see such a victory. It will last
a long time perhaps longer than

"Personally I do not feel that
there will be anything definite this
spring or! summer; It Is not merely
a question, of military victory . It
never has been and I doubt If it ever
will be. It will mean the bending of
tne German mma rather than the
annihilation of the German concrete
trench. 1
Two theories have been proruul
gated, - One that the offensive com
batting of the submarine will be the
deciding factor. Borne hold that at
the present rate of shipbuilding and
opposite rate of destruction of the
submarines tbaUJhe Doc he will get
the upper band. I feel that such
position is sntenable. Questions of
diplomacy in foreign fields are, In
my mma, far more important. '
"The second theory Is one of man
power. The morale of the German
troops on our front is far weaker
than during1 the days when the
French were compelled to swarm to
the front in an n a prepared state.
One cannot help but resch the eon
elusion that 'the allies with their
combined forces will reach a decid
Ing victory. Perhaps not within the
next few months, or the next few
years. Put when it does come it
will be a peace that means business.
Not Fighting Yet.
"Our forces have not yet begun
to fight. ' The percentage of Ameri
cans at the front Is not very great,
