BELIEVE GERMANS PLAN
NEW MOVE IN WEST
Increased Activity Reported Along
Whole Front During Past
Two Weeks.

LONDON, Feb. There appears
to be a growing belief both in Paris
and London that the Germans are
preparing 10 launch some important
military movements on the western
front For nearly a fortnight, in
creasing German activity has been
reported along this line.
The Times says today that the
pressure of events may force the
Garman staff to stake much to pre-
serve confidence at home and TO stiff
fen tht troops by giving them an
illusion OF victory by a movement
and the possible occupation of a
few advince line trenches.
The Daily Graphic says:
Every argument from the enemy
standpoint favors a great western
offensive. The sweep through ST.
IBERIA has released several hundred
thousand men for service under
German direction. For a month
past near Loos. Armentieres and Gil
vinchy. and at other points. attacks
have been made with the evident
object of finding a weak spot Fur
thermore the whole theory of a sue
cessful war, according TO the gen.
defense is an attack. On the po-
litical side there is necessity TO CON
convince German and Austrian pub
lie opinion that something decisive
is near"

WATSON AND GOODRICH
ARE COP. FAVOR|TES
Appear Certain to Win Nom
nations For Senator

News Times Special Service /.

News Times Special Service
INDIANAPOLIS. Feb. As the
day of the first statewide primary
gets nearer, the t-all-pleasant
campaign of the republican candi-
dates who are cOntesting the nOmin-
atoms for senator and governor are
in such shape mat it seems COM
paratively easy TO predict results.
Persons attached TO the head
quarters OF Capt. Harry s.. New,
while publicly proclaiming that New
will receive the nomination for SEN
ator, privately admit that James Eli
Watson has him walloped right now
and that Watsons strength increases
every day.
The men who came 10 attend the
winter meeting of the Democratic
Editorial association are in position
to size up the 81 uation pretty ac-
curately in their home counties
While they see spots in the state
where New appears 10 have the bet
ter Of the argument, the big vote all
over the state, so far as the repub-
lican party is concerned. is reported
to be WIN Watson.
Arthur Robinson is throwing lots
Of pep into his campaign and he is
working like a Turk" to land the
nomination He is going to sur
prise lots Of older politicians when
the votes are counted but he is
handicapped because people do not
expect him to be nominated. The
votes ne receives are admitted to
come chiefly from New. With this
division OF the opposition. and the
fact that Watson has a remarkably
strong personal following wherever
his name is placed before the repub-
licans of the state, all indicates well
for Watson. Only the other day
Jim Goodrich was quoted as saying
he thought Watson was the most
likely to receive the nomination.
In the contest for the nomination
for governor, while both Goodrich
and McCray are spending money
freely and eXtravagantly to secure
the empty honor. Goodrich is con-
coded by the wisest on-lOOkers TO
be a good favorite in the voting
There is every reason to believe that
Goodrich and Watson will be the
favOrites. If the vote OF neither is
sufficient to nominate in the pri-
mary. and both contests should have
TO be settled in the convention. the
delegates might feel disposed TO act
favOrably to the primary showing.
I'm the senatorial contests. however.
the state organization, which is
bOssed by the owner of the In
dianapolis News. is strong for New
and might ride away from any Wat
son preference shown in the pri-
mary vote To throw Watson out in
this manner would be like tossing
Roosevelt out of the republican con-
ventiOn of 1912.
There is not much reason to be-
lieve that many progressives will
participate in any primaries save
their own. The danger of fine. i'm
prisOnment and Acknowledgement is
too pronounced for them 10 assume
the chances
