NEW YORK, May eff the re-.
ports that come from the capitals Of
the Entente represent the real situa-
ton as the military leaders see it, news
of big happenings along the western
front Ineed not be expected until the
German line breaks definitely under
pressure. The allied generals intend
to adopt new tactics, substituting a
ceaseless pounding and a steady pres.
sure Of infantry at many points for
further attempts to smash the German
defenses by concentrated attacks at
any point. #
That such tactics are now justified
and that there are many evidences that
the Germans cannot continue long to
hold their French lines is the eonten-
ton from both British and French
headquarters. The ceaseless drain upon
the Teutons is commencing to tell and
the morale of the armies 80 long on
the defensive is fast breaking.
Counters Lack Punch
One of the substantial proofs of this
is the fact that the German counter
attacks, although made in force, lack
all dash and appearsRto be half
hearted, while every counter of late
has left large toll of prisoners il
the hands of the French and English
prisoners who appear glad to surrender
Such was the case in the German
attacks upon the new French positions
