by reports from Petrograd that Ker-

highly improbable that the Stock

true. The fact that the embassy
is without advices from the provi-
sional government is giving the en-
bassy much concern. They believe
the detection is purely local.

FRENCH OFFICER
 SAYS GERMAN PLAN
 OF WAR IS PLAIN

LONDON, Dec ,. - Denouement of this world struggle is fast ap preaching, says Col. Azan of the French officers at Harvard Ger man strategic plan is clear. It sim ply involves the rapid precipita- tion of her great powers upon each of the Allies in turn in an effort to put them out of the running. To resist this successfully and gain g victory the Allies must coordinate in their efforts. France has lost about 1,500,000 dead and 2,000000 wounded and has been at a perfect ly tremendous expense, but she still has millions of men. The United States is a fresh ally, grown rich by reason of her favorable position during the first two years of the war But America must hasten, for she alone has the "elan," the punch to win. If she moves rapidly she will save the risk of bearing the brunt of the war alone.

While the Central Powers are bleeding terribly, they act in unison and the recent Italian successes were aimed to placate the German people for losses suffered at Verdun and Passchendaele and to provoke revolution in Italy Above all else, heavy guns are nee essary in this war, and 15,000 arc to be made in American factories and shipped to France before March 1, 1919 France is willing to die in the hope that America will forge the weapons that will crush her enemies.
