Field Marshal Sir John French's mes
saBc to his countrymcn at home that
Il know when the time comes for US
To make our great move We can
break through the Germans" and the
British eye witness state ncnt 90 yes-
tcrday that there are plain signs ot
the gradual weakening OF the Ger
mal resistance" are accepted here ns
an intimation that the present steady
pressure oi the Western front shortly
will develop into eytnts Of vastor
Hrope, it Is thus expected that tho
ndNt three months VIII be csretinny
memorable In this war.
Military writer's are OF the opinion
thai the reported French successes
between the Mcuss and the Musci.c-
an important region stretching be-
tween the rival furtrcsses OF Vcrdun
and Motz--have given PROMISING
opening for the spring campaign. They
regard It as the signal Tor the gene
oral offensive movement which has
Occn awaiting the arrival OF adequate
accumulations OF moa, equipment and
supplies.
The suspension of infantry hghting
in TINS ail-important Vcrdun district
has been quicRly broken down as was
expected. by the gallant German at
tmpt 10 rccapturo the position Of
Lea EparEcs. possession OF which en-
anlcs Ueacral Jontc 10 give another
twist l. the screw ot the wise where

The Russ, offensive In the Car

uous defense on Nc part of the com

Il appears to be = Nly winning It's
way forward toWHrL thu plains Of
Hungary. II has cncoun ret enormous
difficulties. The Austfiai have been
preparing their defensive positiuns
throughout the period which has in
torvcned since the Russians hrst raid
ed this same territory.
~ relieve the pressure on The Rus
slams is an additional rcasol Tor the
aCtivit, OF the allies In the west. The
report that Emperor William person
ally is directing the operations IN the
Carpathians is doubted. a. Is also the
rumor from Cologne that Field Mar
shuI won Htndcnburg has asNod tor
600 men to undertake another cam
pHign against Warsaw II is thought
to be- far more likely that hc viii at
tempt to divert the attention OF the
Russians hy thrust from the diroc-
ton ut CracoW. Al attempted oil
version ot this character is revealed
hy the Russian communication which
reports a futile Austrian attack in the
A H.. D IA
is designed TO turn the left nBnk of
the Russian army and so threaten all
lines OF communication north and
south which supply the Russians fight
ing In the Bes&id range Of the Car
pathians.
Reports of battle In the North
sea which have come from 40 many
different sources apparently are
mythical.
The reported German declaration
that British officers had ocon impris-
onrd In the military detention bar
racks In retaliation for the refusal oi
the British 10 accord the same treat

GOOD offices probably will be request

message from Amsterdam, the Ger.
man foreign minister has presented
note TO Ambassador Gerard pro-
testing against Great Britnina course
and asking Gerard 10 arrange per-
sonal invostiRation By u member ol
