BELIEVE GERMANY
PREPARING FOR
GREAT OFFENSIVE
Allies Say Desperate Need Of
Peace Is Back Of Final
Effort
THAT FOOD SHORTAGE
HAS BROKEN SPIRIT
TeutOn Advance In Ruanania
Captures Many Towns and
Prisoners

London, Jan. 5.-Germany is about
to attempt another great offensive on
the western front against the allies.
The same desperate need of peace
which the allies believe inspired the
Geran proposal is thought, now that
those peace pleas have been rejected.
to be behind a gigantic thrust on the
west, designed as Germany's supreme
effort.
Dispatches from Paris today indi-
Gated general belief there that the Ger.
man blow was now being prepared.
Gustave Harye in an editorial in la
Victoire fixes the time when this blow
will be struck in February LIE Figaro
and lie Temps agree that a "push -
is impending. but think it will come
later in the year.
With German public opinion now be.
4teyed to be dangerously near breaking
under the suffering of food privations,
the German government is thought to
realize that it must be fed on some
great military attempt at q victory
against Germany $ major foes. The
Rumanian victory, although hailed as
another evidence of German invinci-
htlity, has failed to evoke the German
public enthusiasm expected because of
realization of Rumania' 5 military weak
ness. According to information here
German officiaidom is realizing that it
must make some move to offset French
successes at Fcrdum and British power
manifested last summer.
But if Germany is preparing anoth-
er offensive, she will find the allies
ready. Speeding up of all branches
has been the first duty of the new
LIoyd-George ministry.
London was awaiting today publ
ostion of the allies reply to President
Wilson'S peace suggestions. The note
itself may be handed the American am
bassador at Paris today. Arrangements
for Simultaneous publication from
Washington and the allied capitals
Win probably delay its text becoming
known until early next week.
