THE MILITARY SITUATION.
GENERAL SMUTS'S OPINION. LONDON, July 24. General Smuts, speaking in London, reviewing the military situation, hoped and trusted that this'time the tide had turned finally and conclusively. The gaps in the Allied armies, due to defection in Russia, had been filled by much sterner stuff from the United States.
It would not be long before the American Army in France would be as large as the Anglo-French combined. Germany was at the height of her power before the Americans came in. and could not strike a paralysing blow; what will, the position be when America's new incomparable army is fully on the secene. He added : "Be the end far or near, we can be as confident of it as of to-morr'-w's rising sun."
