ESTABLISHED IN 1865 THURSDAY. AUGUST 1. 1918 THE ARITHMETIC OF VICTORY There is no question that the bril liant results gained by Gen. Koch's count rdrive were made possible sole ly through the presence of 1,000,000 American troops in Krance. ' Not more than a quarter of that number, perhaps, have actually been in battle, and it is not likely that anv more than an equal number were en gaged in transport, engineering work. etc., back of the lines. Half a mil lion or more, then, may be assumed to have taken no part whatever, directlv or indirectly, in the allied counter offensive, because their training was not fully completed, or because thev were held as ultimata reserves. The presence, however, of that surplus half -million was a guarantee of secur ity which helped to make the blow pos sible. Everyone by this time realizes the enormous value of Koch's drive to the allied cause. And every observer is moved to this reflection: If we can accomplish so much when we have only a million men in Krance. and half of them fresh arrivals, at. a time when the German army is sup posedly at the height of its power, what can we not accomplish when we have twice that number of trained troops on the ground, and the Ger mans are weaker in numbers and low er in morale, as they will surely be? And who can stand against Koch's legions when he has 4,000,000 or 5. 000,000 Americans available ? - - We have more than a million and a quarter of men in Krance today. We shall surely have 2,000,000 there be fore the present fighting season ends. We shall have no less than 3,000,000 ready for business when the campaign opens next spring. We can continue pouring Yankees into Krance through out next summer as we have done in the past two months. If necessary, we can have 4,000,000 trained 'men there before the fall of 1919. Krance. Britain and Italy, we may assume, will maintain their fighting efficiency at or near the present level. We repre sent practically clear gain. A new phase of the war has defin itely opened. It is the American phase and it marks the beginning of the last chapter of German domination. Kinal victory is absolutely assured. It is only a question of the time it will take to complete what was begun in the . middle of this July. That time will be determined by the rapidity with which we land troops in Krance ready for ac tion. Henceforth, the war is a com paratively simple problem in artih tnetic. THE BIG EACT Perhaps the biggest news of the last few days has not been the an nouncement of the French-American victory between the Aisne and the Marne, important as it was, but the story of how the Americans fought. They were on trial, thousands of miles from home, on a vast stage with the eyes of the world on them. We knew that the way they met the test would determine not only their honor and ours but the fate of civilization and the future of the world. They have met the test in a wav beyond all praise. Our allies are ex uberant in their delight and approval We ourselves, with all our confidence in them, never imagined that they would fight as well as they do. It is still almost incredible, despite all the accumulated proof, that young men taken from civilian life and given but a few months training, men who had never seen a battle before, most of whom indeed had never been under fire, could have plunged into that in ferno with the courage and coolness they showed, and accomplished such results. Never was there a more striking exemplification of the spirit and en ergy. Those lads were imbued with absolute determination to win. When it became advisable to retreat, large number of them refused. They were there to kill Germans, they said, and they were going to stay where the Germans were and kill them. Thev did that very thing. They fought sin gly or in small groups, performing :imaiing feats of individual enterprise :nd capturing givat numliers of pris oners. When captured themselves, thev stubbornly refused to stay ruptured. Over and over attain a man or a little :roup of men overcame their guards :ind fought their way back to their own lines, often bringing with them captives taken on the way. In the parlance of the Australians, whom our troops are said to resemble most, they "treated 'em rough." The Germans are said to be aggrieved at the treatment accorded them, and the failure of our soldiers to observe some of the rules of military etiquette such as to stay captured after the German fashion, instead of breaking away but we can overlook that. The war la not yet won, but it is decided. The division has been ren dered in the fighting of the past week. The way our troops have fought has settled it. The road is still long and hard, but the end is in sight. We shall win, and win completely. READ OUR WANT APS. CHICHESTER S PILLS iltMavlt-r IHbmiX ft rvV K'im. mot Tk aw ata Bail t UraH!.

The Nation's capital is linked with all these varied activities by the toll and long distance lines of the Bell System. Thousands of miles of special wire systems have been turned over to the Government for its exclusive use. Switchboards in the Government departments at Washington have been enlarged and new ones installed. Right of way is given to Govern ment business over all commercial lines, so that the Government chiefs may keep in constant touch with every phase of the Nation's great task and direct its progress intelligently and effectively. In organizing the military activities of the country, the Government has had the effective cooperation of the Bell Telephone System, which even in peace times reached 70,000 communities and now extends to the head quarters of every Army Department and Naval District in the United States.
