THE ORDEAL OF THE ALLIES.
THE ORDEAL OF THE ALLIES. The Round Table," disqussiug the military eltuation as it appeared after the Flanders and Somme drives of the Germans, in prophetic vein declares that the ordeal of August and September, 1914, is being repeated in a sterner form. We can appreciate that sentence to-day! Probably at no time since the commencement of the war has the position appeared more grave. Last night's news, sent out on "high military authority, and published in our 6.30 edition, pre- pared Swansea ?or t4e disconcert- ing information contained to-day in the military dispatches. No good purpose is served by minimising the seriousness of the news. No national interests are forwarded by suggest-, iug that things are better than they look. Soissions goue.tiheint.s, which has borne the brunt: of the storm for four years, probably in German Lands-thb advance forces of the enemy on thd banks ot the Marne—what are we to do with such facts as these but acknowledge that we have reached a critical phase of the war if not a decisive phase. Nevertheless we have not come- to a time of despair. We may pre- dict with sime amount of confidence that the German drive will be pulled up within a few days. The attack will be. checked, and tem- porary equilibrium restored. But we have to steel ourselves to many touch ordeals as we have passed through this week. Foch is in the position of a captain at cricket whose best tactics are to play the stone-walling game. He can- not force the pace. He cannot play boldly. He has to ait until the Americans are in France in suffi- cient numbers to enable him to re- 'I tiqv art,? cotti- gain the initiative. hey arc com- ing over as fast- as ships can bring them, and wheu we can count them by the millions the initiative will be automatically restored to IlS. "But can we last until they (.'??e. asks the pes&miist. Surly the answer i? yes ? Th G?rm?u has been wonderfully el«ver in veil- ing his movements. W e see that the element of surprise is goiug to be a great factor even when arums | of In;;llired8 ci hava to l>e nli.>rpt1 about. O411 the ^over;j| ing consideration is the number of I reserves which can be brought into play, And in this matter we hold the winning hand. Solna time ago it was suggested that we must expect certain im- provements and developments in the German schemes of assault, the fruit of their experiences in March and April. We have now seen them. They have used tanks in large numbers and with effect, and they have refined the technique of their Veiled March. We now hear that knowledge of the attack was hidden evion from the troops who were to undertake it, till the last moment, that they erected no new buildings, dumps, or aero- drome.s, and that they deliberately encouraged the French reconnais- sance machines to fly over their lines by not attacking them. It sounds incredible. It would he immensely interesting to read the reports of those reconnaissance machines for the fortnight before the attack. If they saw no sign whatever of the preparation of fcuch an assault, involving so many divisions on a thirty-the mile front, then we have geen an altogether new phenomenon. Apart from its more spectacular manifestations, that seems the real lesson off this attack. At any rate the wheel has now turned full circle. Field forti- fications iseem less than no barrier YD. d er certain circumstances, the element of surprise has come back to its own with a vengeance. There is no itead to be an alarm- ist. We shall win the war with something to spare, for our potential strength is vastly greater than that of our enemies, our posi- tion is in reality far stronger than it appear superficially. We have no need, like Pitt-, to roll up any maps in theatrical and unjustified depression; but there are certain lessons which must emerge unmis- takably from the storv of the last ten weks. Those British divisions, which have fought with t'uch tragic a.nd glorious tenacity round Kbeims, have now faced three great assault, and each time they have ha.d to face forces of the eriemv at least, three times as great as themselves. Yet they belong to an army which is very littl inferior numerically to their rival's. Does anYOUe waBt further illustration o? the meaning and value of the initiative in w-,a,.r4 Surely the words "greatly superior forces of the enemy" have been burnt on our brains by now The menace of the German in- itiative will remain, at we Lavo said, until the arrival of further American reinforcements auto- matically restores the initiative to us. Till that day dawns we must somehow avoid these reverses. That is .Fcell's problem and we can be sure he will solve it soon. We 'J I ia Germans must play for time. Tito Germans have produced a new menace, but to that, menacerwiil be discovered an antidote; that is the abiding les- son of all the history of war. Only numbers can annihilate." In every way we are the equal of the Ger- mans, in numbers, courage and in- telligence. But they are tricking ns Tit the moment and we have got to find the key to that trick. That is the lesson of the last week. The American war power did not grow so rapidly as either the Allies or the Americans themselves ex. i pected in the first year of their entry into the war. But those expecta- tions were in some respects extra- vagant. It is growing fast now, and the process and leaning of its growth are well described in the. current number of -the quaiterly we have already quoted. There' are already thousands of Ameri- can soldiers in France. There will be many thousands more be- fore the summer ends. The whole nation is behind them, as it never has been behind any movement yet, and it is a nation of 100,000,000 free men who have never known de. feat, and with the resources of a continent behind them. As the "Times" says to-day, until they join us in full force our business is to hold on. When they so join us, victory will be at the doors.

Sir,—Kindly allow ine, on behalf of the I inhabitant? of Pon tarda we, to thank vou for your plain and properrelUarkft con- cerning the doings of our handful of pacifists. They revel in the work of throwing dirt at the name of the Olfl Country, and have a good supply of it al- ways at their command. What do they oare concerning the deliberate bombing of hospitals, sinking hospital ships, and murdering seamen of all nationalities! Should you, Sir, take the trouble to oome to Pontardaws and have a peep into the history of some of these pacifists, you would soon find out that they are a quar- relsome lot; in fa'-t, they have had an occasional real fight among themselves. I And as for loving tlnnr neighbours.! What do the boys think of these men who are backing up conscientious objec- tore! If these ministers had their way, wottljd there be any obstruction in front of the bloodthirsty Kaiser? Talk about negotiation with the Germans; you cannot negotiate with Solves and tigers and rattle snakes—you have to conquer them. I/ct me thank the ministers and deacons of the churoh?a of Ponbrda¥ for closing the door& 01 their chal)o ,,? s A?g;z,,& 't ipihete- ings of pacifists. The commit |ee of the I Public Institute would do welU to suit. And why should the Rtv. W. J. Ke^s try to hold meetings in other chapels r when he has none in his own temple? Are other chapels less sacred than his own? The Rey. Ll. Bayer, as we all know, is a. bundle of inconsistenciee. At a pacifist meeting a few nights ago, when the duty of loving the Germans A-ai. emphasised, he openly advocated the policy of boycotting all newspapers except the Manchester Guardian," because they had not pub* Jished a report of a pacifist meeting held somewhere in Germany.
