The officers at once take their turn in the trenches, and the progress that they and their men make in close proximity to the fighting is one of the remarkable discoveries of the war.

The British Army was so trained and all the colonial forces.

Two or three or four hundred thousand Americans could be sent over as soon almost as they are organized and equipped-provided transports and a continuous supply of food and munition ships can be got.

They can be trained into fighting men--into an effective army--in about one third of the time that would be required at home.
I suppose, of course, we shall make at once a large loan to the Allies at a low rate of interest.

That is most important, but that alone will not save us.
