bodies of German troops are being brought
up. They are extending ana strengthening
their elaborate system of trench fortified.
tions along the entire front from Westendc

ment. but British troops are also pre-
pairing to resist an attack in the direction
of Dunliirk.
Commenting upon the German prepara-
tons today. the Echo de Paris saws:
"1f Germany is pushed to a last hope
offensive, she will try to pull off a coup
in the Flanders sector using overwhelm-
ing masses of troops and immense guam
titles of ammunition"
The Germans have resumed their heavy
attacks on the French lines. according
to official dispatches this afternoon.
This afternoons War Office statement
reported repulse of determined enemy on
slaughts north OF the Aisne in the region
of Vile Auboise by a curtain OF fire from

TO FORMULATE PLANS
FOR MUNICIPAL DAIRY
Milk Producers Will Meet Tomorrow
in Munsey Building.

Business Manager Y. z. Booker, Of the
Maryland and Virginia MIX Producers
Association. has called a meeting OF the
executive committee and the officers OF
the association in the Munsey Building
for tomorrow. following which definite &C
lion will be taken toward formulating
plans of a municipal dairy for sVbmittal
to District oficials.
While the municipal dairy plan has not
been worked out in detail. the associa-
ton believes that with aid promised by
District officials and experts Of the Agri-
culture Department, the project soon VIII
be in shape for final decision.
With washington's milk problem hang
ing in the balance pending action on the
municipal dairy idea, New York is fac
ing an actual milk famine. The three
largest distributors there claim that be-
ginning today, when their contracts with
upstate distributors end, they will be
unable to supply the people Of the metro
politan section.
Farmers in the Empire State have gone
on record as saying that rather than sell
their milk at the present prices they will
feed it to hogs or make II into cheese.
This means that practically 10000
quarts daily will be used in this manner
while those who live in the city will be
forced to go without milk or use the
condensed article from cans.

.CHANCELLOR'S SPEECH
Held Sign OF WEAKNESS
London Takes View That Germans See
Defeat Near.
By FRANK TEwsON.
international News Service ]

London. Sept 3o.-The speech of DR.. Won
Bethmann-Hollweg, the German chan
cellor, is regarded here as an admission
that Germany sees defeat to be inevita-
BILE. DR.. Won Bethmann-H Hollweg's words
Implying that ruthless submarine warfare
is to be resumed is taken to clinch that
belief.
Germany has held her submarine feet
as the final weapon to be launched when
all else failed. and. despite the boast
that the German lines will hold, the chan
cellor's reference to submarines shows
that fear has begun to eat into the heart
OF the German government, in the minds
of English leaders.
Such responsible newspapers as the
Times and the Chronicle, in analyzing
the Reichstag speech. see in It a rehec-
ton of official pessImism.
The Chronicle declar that Germany
sees all hope of annexing Belgium gone
and that she realizes that she cannot win
on the field. The only question, the
Chronicle says. is: How much longer can
Germany last?
