THE GLORIOUS FOURTH.
Mi Carranza is* taking his time about
answering tlit* American ultimatum, but.
the longer he takes the more chance® he
will have to realize that he is tackling
a pretty tough proposition when he bucks
up against Uncle Sam. If he takes time
enough lie will probably come to see that
a foolish break just about now is liable
to make a damphool out of some one—
and his name will be Carranza.
After nearly two years of preparation
the allies have apparently started the
long promised offensive and we may b*
given an opportunity to see what the
tremendous strength developed during
that period amounts to. The world has
been searched for material and the ser
vices anu utilities or nations have been
requisitioned in the effort to build up
a strength sufficient to match that of the
doughty Germans.
Every possible factor vvnich represent
ed Tin augumcntation of power has been
seized upon; every leaturo of the war
program has been carefully gone over
and every plan which presented a pros
peet of bringing victory to the allied
arms has been studied and checked with
painstaking attention. Not one thing that
human mind could ;onceive or human

ingenuity execute that has been neglect
ed in preparing for th^ day on which
w« wen* told the tide of victory would
turn and tin Gormans be overwhelmed
To all appea ranees thut day is now at
hand and we should soon know it the
results are e«iual to all the monumental
preparation that has gone before. Armed
and arrayed with a power such as the
world lues never known before they ate
i.uw ready for the battle and the tinal
outcome should not be long in doubt,
it the allies are not able to beat down
the German resilience HOW. it IS prob
ably sat» to say thut they never will
t»e able to do so. Germany is over
whelmed In the matter of nun and guns
in everything, except, perhaps, knowl
edge of lighting. During the long months
of preparation the allies have developed
a strength that can never be achieved
again so the present may be looked upon
as the crudea! period of tlu* war the
beginning of the end for one side or
| the other. If the allies have indeed
started, as appearances indicate, a few
weeks of fighting should tell tlu* tale
>r at least make its ultimate conclu
sion perfectly clear.
IMRHITA.WK OF V KUDI N
TO BOTH HRLL1G KIl LNTS
While the salient of Verdun is the
weakest point in* the German lines, it
is also tlu* most vulnerable point in j
those of the allies. . ms, not because |
t is a fort, for the war has conclusive
ly shown since its beginning that there
i
an he constructed nothing of steel and
concrete which cannot be destroyed by
modern ordnance; but because it is a
salient. Gould tlu* German line be broken
at this point and tlu* French troops
rushed through, the whole of the Teu
ton positions to the eastward, that is to '
my. northern France and Belgium would ;
he outflanked.
These positions are supplied from Metz j
ind from Aix-la-Chappelle through Lux- j
emburg and Belgium. The breaking ot i
the Gi i man line at the extivm* ihiIiii
<%t itin* salient would mean tin line from
Mel I Wiultl hi wvered, amt that fr*M1l

Mine* Iterhn k statement that the French
inm upathm oi the V er.tun salient has
hi t it a thorn in the German aid* that
It JUKI Itli'S the eost lilll'KK of tile attack,
and that if the French can be driven
out of the Verdun country from the
ipper reaches of the Aisne to Si Mthiel.
Polled • nt*t suiii a position, there Would
not exist the same danger, and the Ger
man hue would be straightened. Hut

defensive and offensive tactics Indicated,
it Is possible the French might be driven
