TUESDAY, JUNE 11 1918. 1 ALLIES MIST HELP RISSU. Washington Poet The allies are fighting Germany on- ' It in one place. It ia true that the; are temporarily Inferior In numbers and have no choice but to fight against an ' enemy offensive. Their resources, how ' eTer, are not confined to the western front, and it ia quite within the possi . bUltiea that aU the fighting on the j western front will be lndeclsve go far as the defeat of Germany is concern. ed. Germany cannot force a decision ia her favor on that front She Is up against the strongest side of the three - strongest nations in the world, one of them much stronger than nerseii ana ' rapidly 1 concentrating its strength . aaainst her. After the balance has turned and German forces are outnum - beted, the work of ejecting the enmy from France will begin in earnest anil will never let up. ; But in the meantime there is much to be done elsewhere, and Germany is doing It on her side. Her offensive in France does not deter her from the work of absorbing Finland, penetra ting Russia, assimilating Rouniania : and Ukraine, intriguing in Mexico and South America, opening up the Black . Sea, working toward Persia, and other wise carrying on the war .What an; the allies doing in all these war areas to defeat German encroachment? Germany can stand the defensive a long time on the western front, after : she has been halted. The allies' rtelen sire enables the United States to gath er a force that will -eventually over match Germany's. Will not Germany's defensive then enable her to reassem - ; ble forces that will eventually over match America's, if the allies do not checkmate those efforts? Russia Is the great storehouse of i military resources for Germany. Leave Germany alone and she will develop - system in Russia that win not only be able to defy but to conquer - the whole world, America included. If it " be argued that Russians will not con- . sent to become soldiers in a vast army under German control, let it be asked how the individual Russians can keetp ' out of the German uniform, once Ger many has established her. system, Jii - Russia. There are now in the enemy's : ; uniform tens of thousands of men who are deadly enemies of Germany and Austra, men who would willingly lay down their lives if by so doing they . could break Germany's hold upon their country. But they can do nothing ; they must fight for Germany until an op portunity arives for successful mutiny and revolution. The 'same condition :: would control Russian soldiers. ' The allies cannot afford to become so absorbed In the western front as to i lose the war. They must broaden their ' view and adopt Germany's method of fighting the war everywhere, wherevei advantage is to be found. The situa ' tion is, Russia clamors for statesman sup in the - allied nations, it is re proach to the allied natons that they , should go on month after month, with out unity of counsel, while Germany utilises every moment to fasten her grip upon Russia Where is the fore sight of the allied rulers? Where arc , their diplomats? Has all the initiative concerning Russia passed to Germany, and . must the allies accept humbly whatever Germany decrees for Russia? ' In that case the war is lost eventually. whatever the result of the struggle in . France. 1 -m. Men like former President Taft see . elearly the absolute necessity of lift ing Russia to her feet It is not solely an altruistic task. It is primarily in self-defense that the western allies -' must save Russia. If they do not keep Germany out of . Russia they will not be able to keep Germany out of France - and England and America. The seeds of future conquest at the world are now being sown by Germany in Russia. The allies have the easier task, which is to frustrate Germany's attempts. If they - will not take counsel and agree upon some plan to save Russia they need not boast of their unified command in tie west, for the war will be only be- .. sinning, v ':.- , r, -.(,.- There are several ways In which the al!!e can act Immediately in behalf rf Russia, The statesmen and soldiers ef the allied nations should confer and aee upon the' best plan.
