LONDON. April 29.-Military opin-
ion, both here and AT the front. is al
most unanimous that after thirty
weary months the period Of unnatural
deadlock that supervened on the west
front after the first battle Of Ypres
has come to an end. The rest of the
war, former pessimists as well as
optimists agree, will consist of series
OF allied successes followed by Ger
man retreats, tending to become
larger and more extensive as the sum
mer wears on. until at length the
German empire surrenders or its
troops are driven out of France and
Pelgium and the French and British
soldiers cross the frontier of the
fatherland.
My military informants whose di-
vergent views | have quoted at length
during the past two years. now agree
that the strategical initiative on the
west front has passed indefinitely and
forever out OF Hindenburg's hands.
They admit that by bringing up his
strategic reserves the German leader
may deliver successful counterat-
tacks at various points; they differ as

that they can still dig in on French
and Belgian soil when next winter

nous that, having been driven out of
the old permanent trench systems no
line exists upon which the German
general staff can hope to stand
against the terrible and relentless
pressure of the allied armies and re-
sumo the old war of positions.
