WAR LAST CRSIS
FOR allies Near

Win Back Cambria Ground,
London Believes
ENGLAND EXPECTS
MOMENTOUS EVENTS

LONDON, Dec. iO-A feeling Of de-
cided depression regarding the military
situation both on the west front and
in Italy has become noticeable here.
There is a strong impression that some
body high in military authority is re-
sponsible for the serious blunder In
permitting the Germans effectively 10
counter attack and retake much OF the
territory which the British occupied st
The first onset on the Cambrai front
Many military critics comment on the
evidence that the British were surprised
by the German attacks, despite the fact
that the success Of the earlier British
surprise should have been a warning 20
guard against the possibility that the
Germans would attempt the same thing
later. Explanations OF how the Ger
mans were able TO surprise the British
lines are regarded as unsatlsfylng and
as indicating a failure 90 safeguard the
British front In the proper measure.
That the Germans are preparing an
immense offensive both on the west
front and In Italy in the immediate
future is believed generally. The British
authorities protest their confidence that
the Allies lines viii hold in both
places. although they are expecting
that the Germans viii employ immense
ly increased forces In the coming at
tacks as a result Of the withdrawal Of
numerous divisions from the eastern
front.
The Munich Neuste .Nachrichten pub
fishes an interview with Count Karolyi.
leader Of the Hungarian Liberals, In
which 1t quotes him as saying:
We shall only be settled on the
chances OF peace after events which
will take place IN the coming month"
This is taken az a reference TO a great
offensive planned for the western front
by the AustrO-Germans.
Zurich reports that the semi-ofioial
Nordeutscher Zeitung declares the Aus
tro-Germans advance in Italy has ao-
complished all that was expected or de-
sired this autumn and is likely 10 be
suspended without going beyond the
Piave front, as tho higher command Is
determined TO concentrate forces on
the west front Of the Allies.
Military critics here. In pointing out
the expectation Of such an effort by the
Germans, indicate that preparations
are being made 20 meet whatever en-
terprise the Central Empires NAV un-
dertake. The London press unanimous
IS is cxhOrting the public TO be steady
IN anticipation Of the coming shock
which is regarded as a crisis, possibly
the last and greatest Of the entire war.
