LONDON, December IA generally
increased confidence in Germany based on
the Russian armistice and other obvious
factors is shown in extracts from the

that the German people are building great
homes on a great offensive in the west,
which is regarded as certainly impending

ing such a move, writes in the Tageblatt:
ssWhenever Germanys supreme war lord
or Field Marshal Won Hindenburg PROM
ised our Austro- Hungarian allies assist
ance against Russia's mighty forces, it
has been promptly assembled powerful
blows delivered and the Russians driven
back We really do not need to doubt
that this time also deeds will follow
words. The Koelnische Volkszeitung
says that the only battlefield remaining
is the western front, toward which the
hands of the clock OF destiny rapidly are
advancing"
"Our enemies also recognize this" 1t
adds, and are crying out for American
help. No matter. Justice is about to
end the war
The Weser Zeitung says: Events show
us distinctly, as in pictures, the path we
must tread. Peace in the east and battle
in the west until we have achieved there
the foundation Of the complete quality of
British and German positions the world
over"
