That the war will not end without
the allies making another gigantic.

ponds on his efforts, u In believed
here. whether peace talk In revived In

on the fighting fronts.
Expects More Defeats.
Germany believes the entente pow.
srs will again meet defeat In their
efforts 20 break the Teutonic lines.
The belief that peace will not come
until after the allies have attempted
another gigantic offensive, ts voiced
ny the Vossiche zsitung. which points
out the preparations that are being
made on all fronts by Germany's enc.
mice.
In the west there IL considerable
