WAsHlNGToN, Jan, 2S.-The news of the

Edward y. Breitung and the announce

ship has caused some officials TO surmise
that the Daca's cargo may be transferred

PREDICTS ONE MORE
BIG GERMAN MOVE
Expert Says Kaiser

fore Autumn.
ALLIES WELL PREPARED
sDcc'a' cob,- p>spa,cA 10 Inv SRI

LoSDoN, Jan. 2P.--The military critic
OF the Tones analyses the German
strength and forecasts the probable fu-
ture movements OF the Kaiser's army.
Dlsclaiming exact knowledge he believes
the main German strength Is stll in the
west. where there are about ninety-four
divisions, while there arc forty-three in
tho east.
The writer expects that the Allies in
.he west, who are now probably faced
by 100000 Germans, will soon be con-
fronted by 100000 OF the Kaiser's
troops lie expresses the belief that Ru-
mania and Italy will probably enter the
war against the Austro- Germans by the
end OF February or in the early spring
at the latest.
The critic thinks that Russia is likely
10 assail seriously the German eastern
frontier In March. or by May at tn.
latest. lie continues:
With these prospects and in view Of
the losses and the difficulties of main
tanning their supplies the Aus,ro-Ger-
mans must do something soon II the grad
ual crumblng of her forces before au-
tumn Is 20 be averted"
The critic goes on to say: What We
have TO expect IL that Germany will make
a last violent effort i'm the west before the
ellled armies are all assembled and before
NU' va" weather III IIle east ana the entry
OF italy and Rumana into the war place
Germany AT manifest disadvantage ."
lie thinks the Germans are likely TO try
10 break through between Arras and the
Olse between February and March. lie
adds;
I've can bide our hour in the knowl-
edge that the commanders of the Allies
IN tho west fully realize what Germany
may he about and are quite prepared
II is not likely that Germany will ever
again advance into Flanders under such
favorable circumstances as in October
and November last while on the rest of
the allied front the French keep guard
We shall all welcome a German advance
II no such advance takes place we shall
act In our own time all together so that
whether We have already broken the Ger
man offensive or whether one moro con-
yulsive effort on Germany's part is still
TO he expected, VIC can make our minds
easy as TO the result"
