THE WORLD WAR.

SUPREME EFFORT NEEDED THIS YEAR. That America is at last awakening to the necessity of a supreme effort on the Western front this year, is indicated by an editorial in the “New Republic” of January. It urges the dispatch of increased numbers of men to France to complete their training under war conditions and augment the immediately available reserve. There is room to wonder if the possible contribution our Allies could make, not merely of material but of skill in command, is to be fully utilised. In England the experience of the first two years was that men were trained and then made stale, while schoolboy officers were learning their jobs. This is a matter that touches army pride, but there are two points of view regarding national honour. The other one is stated by tho “New Republic.” After affirming that it is our duty to assist in holding the present lines, it continues: “Therefore it is not in keeping with the national honour that wo should leave the whole burden of it to our war-worn Allies while we prepare at leisure for the ultimate decisive struggle. Pursuing such a policy we may, in,the end, find that we shall lack a field in which to bring our conflict with Germany to a conclusion. It would be a bitter outcome for us that left Germany in undisputed command of the European continent, facing us threateningly across the Atlantic.”— New York “Public.”
