Frankly Admitted -That Hope

Predicated on 3 Years Fight
PROPER DISTRIBUTION
OF WAR BURDEN NEEDED
WASHtX-JToN, June S. Hope for
un allied victory this year is gone, ac
cording to best Informed government
officials. It Is frankly admitted that
American plans are predicted upon
the probability of a three years war.
The 1'iiitcd States munt land a knock -out
blow on Merman militarism.
The foremost Hritiah military cri
tics admitted the entire plans of the
allies offensive were -Completely up
kci by the Russian upheaval. .Feeling"
is strong among some Rovernrneni of
ficials that public opinion in the T'nl
ted States is chloroformed and facts
withheld. The facts must be made
public before the successful mobili
zation of the entire resources are
achieved. - '"

I l.'tpBed as an offensive ' factor, and is
out of the military plans for years and
probably for good, t ranee huh pass
ed her high point of efficiency. Kng
land. still on the upgrade from a mi
litary viewpoint, has almost reached
the hijrh point and economically is on
the downgrade.
America has not awakened to the
gravity of the situation they declared.
Patriotism without profit ot the ex
pense of long hours and many sacri
fices. were the conditions Kngiand
finally accepted. j
Igiftlatton I XtwHary. I
Administraton leaders, members of j
the council of national defense and :
congressmen, irrespective of partisan
ship, recognize the existence of a
dangerous situation in capital. They
say neither capital nr labor will re-
pond to the ru-dica) demands neces
sary until legislation is enacted mak
ing certain the proper distribution of
the burden. Industrial leaders and j
big employers say unless the food bill I
and other legislation designed to
check the soaring cost of foodstuffs
ii enacted quicklv, serious and wide
spread lubor troubles are inevitable.
Congressmen freely say the delay in
passing the legislation necessary be
fore direct action can be obtained is
due to the lack of confidence in either
the cabinet or the council of the na
tional defense. They declare a small
war council is necessary. Each coun
cil, they argue, should consist of about
three men, having authority to render
final decisions, similar to the British
war council. It is freely predicted
such a council with real authorit
will come within ninety days.

Major General Perahinfi:, com
mander of the first American

very glad to be the standard
bearers of the United States in
Ithis war for civilization," Per
shing said.
The voyage from America
was uneventful.
With, Pershing waa bia staff and de
tachments of engineer and nurse.

Welcome. American destroyers con
voyed the ship. They were joined by
a flotilla of British destroyers 100
miles off the Irish coast. The ship
carrying- the Americans arrived at
ft: 30 this morning. It was ffiven
noisy welcome. When the ship dock
ed, an honor guard lined up on the
landing- stage, including high British
officials and stood rigid at salute as
the Star Spangled Banner was played.
Pershinr descended th gang; plank
and formally inspected the group of
British soldiers, stopping to talk: with
one guard man wearing- stripes, show
