PREDICT FIGHTING IN WEST
Reports From Neutral Countries Say
Germans Are Transferring Men
and Guns to French Line.

London.-While the diplomats In
Greece and Roumania are engaged in
new deals which will decide the next
step in the Balkan operations, there
is increasing evidence that the Ger
mans, very restive, ere preparing new
strokes on both the eastern and west
rn fronts, or at least concentration
of their forces to strike when condi-
tions are propitious.
Dispatches from Petrograd note
German activity, particularly In the
Dvinsk district, which would accord
with the German ambition to reach
the line of the Dvina river, while all
accounts from neutral countries men
tion a continued movement OF men
and guns to the west. In the latter
theater of operations it seems only a
question at what points the offensive
is to be taken.
Many persons believe that the Ger
mans, having found the lines in Flan-
ders and Artois nuts too hard to crack.
contemplate moving in the Saint MI
hiel region, where their line penetrates
to the River Meuse and where there
has been considerable activity during
the last few days. The only thing
argued against this is that the river
has been at flood and the French have
been Systematically destroying the
bridges as they were rebuilt.
Thus far, however, there has been
little more doing than the usual min
ing and bombing operations and aerlai
fighting in the west.
