GERMANY PREPARES FOR TITAN
TANIC STRUGGLE IN SPRING
Trenches and Notifications on Greater
Scale than Ever Before Attempt

Preparation Therefor.

New York, Jan. 13-Germany is pre-
pairing for an "Armageddon."
Holding the olive branch in one out
stretched hand, the German nation and
peoples doubtful of the acceptance,
with the other hand have been for
many weeks and are today making the
most gigantic preparations for the
great onslaught expected in the spring
on the west front.
The Biblical term "Armageddon" is
the one most often applied in Germany
to this expected battle. This term,
perhaps best shows the Importance
attached to the coming battle, as also
i is much called, the gigantic proper
lions in men, and guns that it will as
sumo, and manifests an appreciation
and realization of the possible results.
To the Germans it is the "last great
battle of the war;. At least so they
think. II the allies fail again to break
through-and that they will fail is
confidently expected-it will mark the
lend"
'Hold the line, is the slogan in Ger
many today, and ITO hold the line" IN
the west while Hapsburg's big fist is
keeping UP the mauling in the east
Germany is bending every sinew'
Nothing during the entire war approx
mating what is now going on in Ger
many in the way of preparedness
Every man and woman, the former up
to so years old, incapable Of bearing
arms, is being mobilized into the vast
"home army" to reinforce the armed
millions in the field-men between l9
and As.
Hold the line in the west" is the
official and popular order of the day
And to that end the soil of France is
being gophered, burrowed, excavated
and tunneled into series OF connected

as even the two and half years OF

News has reached Washington that
in an official communication issued in
London, November Is, the British ad-
miralty says: "Since the arrival in
England Of Admiral Benson GU. S. Az
and his staff, he has been in frequent
conference with the first lord of the
admiralty, and with the chief and prin-
cipal members of the naval staff. He
also has visited the commander-in-
chief of the grand fleet on board his
flagship, and is now visiting our prin-
cipal naval bases. Very great benefit
has been derived from these meetings
and from the interchange of ideas and
views cooperating between the Amer
lean and British navies thus has been
made easier and more complete"
This creates no surprise in the ma
tional capital, where Admiral Benson
is chief of naval operations, right
hand man of Secretary Daniels, and
who directs operations of fleets by
wireless all over the globe. He is
known as the "big brains behind big
guns" and his watchword is "There
is no excellence without great labor"
Best of all, he is a Catholic Of whom
we all may be justly proud.

folly to allow to pass away. Having
referred to an article in the Daily
Mail'' which asked, amongst other
things, if Ireland was prepared to pro-
vide an army, navy and police in the
event of obtaining national independ-
ence, he said: 1--WE are not only pre-
pared to do these things, we are able
to do them" Last year England taxed
Ireland G24,000,OOO, which was e.
100000 greater than the revenue of
Sweden, with an effective army and
navy, and 100000 greater than the
revenue of Holland.
The Bulgarian army costs 100000
annually, 100000 less than the R. I.
c. Sweden was enabled to maintain
her neutrality in the present war, and
if Ireland had been an independent
nation she would not have been drawn
into the war.
Mr.. MacNeil said it was no secret
he did what he could to prevent the
rising in Easter week, and because he
did that, certain people expected that
after he came out of prison he would
think about these things as they af-
fected him personally, and as they
affected the Irish nation. Whether he
liked the rising in Easter week or
not, that was the truth that would go
down to history, and because it was
the truth, he stood there to justify it.
Mr.. Dillon and the Belfast News-Let-
ter" spoke with the same voice, and
told them they could not have free,
independent Ireland, because England
had 100000 soldiers. England had
quite enough to do with her 100000
soldiers at present, and when the war
was over these soldiers would not be
