GERMAN FORCES HAVE
ALLIES In "A QUAMDARY

PARIS, April 2S--The offensive
assumed by the Germans in the
Ypres region has given rise to the the
report that they are about to under
take another carefully planned at
tempt to force their way to Calais,
Military authorities are cautious,
however, in accepting this sugges-
ton as an explanation Of the Ger
mans recent activities.
@ The magnitude Of the forces con
by the Germans on such q
limited front cannot be explained, it
is believed here, byEa mere desire to
keep the allies active. The opinion
Is expressed that 1t was and perhaps
still is their purpose to break large
gap in the allies line. preparatory to
