Field Marshal Won Hindenburg Is shift

would be first to scare Russia into q sepa-

there as a lever against the Allies.
Just now, however, the east front lines
are thin. Exhausted divisions and those
whose losses have brought them far below
their regular strength are being transferred
from France to Russia. In return fresh
divisions on the Russian front are being
switched here Some from Russia are being
hurled against the British and French with

British headquarters estimated today a
total Of twenty German divisions, about
100000 men, have been smashed since the
start OF the offensive. The British have
steadily maintained the initiative despite
every effort of the enemy TO wrest this from
them, and in the face of scores of fresh
divisions hurled in counter-attacks
The week-by-week tally OF the offensive
