LONDON, April 26.-What SON. =
military critics are inclined to pro
noupce the greatest battle OF the
war is now under way on the User
canal Official reports are both
meegre and contradictory. but It gen.
orally is believed in London that the
Germans again are making desperate
efforts to break through the French
channel points. Some such recruden-
cy of the German offensive has been
anticipated by the war experts, but
this movement, forestalling the long
predicted Ally offensive, comes as q
distinct shock to the general public.
1t is impossible as yet to get a clear
idea OF the extent OF the German
movement. but some special dis
patches to London describe It as so
important that the Germans are even
credited with bringing Field Marshal
Won Hindenberg from the east to con-
duct the operations and Emperor Will
liam himself is reported as proceeding
to User front.
