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.

Modern war conditions demand that our armies must have behind them na
tional solidarity, the coordination of all the vast activities and an indus
trial army many times greater than the Nation's fighting forces.
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.
