Special cable Despatch to The SuN from tie
London Times
LONDON. Jan. 3o-The French have
accumulated behind their whole front Of
zoo miles such large supplies that they
are in position to start big offensive on
any sector practically at moments
notice. says the correspondent Of the
Times with the French army.
I'm the case of all previous great Of
fensives, French or British, on the west
ern front the Germans knew beforehand
exactly when and where the attack
would be delivered" he writes. The
immense preparations which are indis-
attempted necessarily gave away the
secret. The work of defending prepared
positions. in any case less costly than
an attack. was still further simplified
by the almost total elimination of the
element of surprise.
This is what happened at Loos. in
Champagne, and on the Somme. 1t was
true to a much less extent of the two
last and highly successful French often
sves on the Verdun front. In all other
cases the Germans were READY or we
should have gone further than we did.
At Verdun the only warning the enemy
had was the preliminary bombardment.
There was no unusual concentration Of
troops, because they were already on
the spot. To that extent the important
element of surprise had been reestab-
lished.
During the last three months ! have
been able to visit practically the whole
French front from Verdun to Belfort.
The conditions are such as make 1t pos
sible for the French high command to
launch an attack wherever and when
ever it chooses without giving the enemy
more warning than that Of the increased
number of rounds fired beforehand by
the artillery at given point before the
attack. simultaneous bombardment
all along the front would puzzle the most
accomplished strategist the Germans
possess.
THE French are now in position
everywhere to do what the Germans, as
a result of disregarding treaties and the
neutrality of Belgium. were able to do
in the first three weeks OF the war, but
, have been unable TO do since. The
| French have made such vast prepara-
| tions behind every part of the line. have
accumulated such vast stores of am
munition ard material, have constructed
such immense lengths OF new roads and
railroads that they are now in position
whenever they choose to prepare an at
! tack on n big scale without showing
their hands until the last moment

Adolph Won Batocki. president of the

prompted by the troubles in food dis
tribution.
Reckoning Ave pounds OF potatoes as

grain. Herr Won Batocli figured the total
supply available for man and beast as
equivalent to 100000 tons of grain less
than last year, since the increase OF
f'oOO.O0O tons in the grain harvest Is
more than counterbalanced by the de-
crease In the potato crop, amounting to

Herr Won Batocki pointed out that
imports from neutrals were q slender
factor In the situation and that the assets
gained in Rumania. while valuable. could
improve conditions only gradually. owing
to transport difficulties He defended the
system OF distribution OF foodstuffs with
the remark: THE scarcer the total guam

system of management"
The present conditions. coupled with
the trouble Of obtaining bread on bread
