Washington, Nov. 2S.-The allies
hope to break the western line by
"slow yet relentless sapping" of Ger

past weeks war events, Secretary Bak-
er today pointed this out as the OBJ
ject behind the several offensives and

tinUed and sudden offensive thrusts
which must eventually result in the
softening of his line in the west. This
is the ultimate objective of the series
of intensive offensives so successfully
pursued by the allies during the past
six months and is even more impor-
tant than the gain of terrain"

detached from the western front as to
render any further allied offensives in
this theater impossible"
