BERNE, Switzerland, Feb. 10
Omitted Press).-Germany's public

party left Berlin orders had been
Issued by the German military au-

OF February.
That move developed the informa-
tlon that Won Indcnburg was await
Ing the opportune cnt for tho
great. final effort OF Germany's forces.
Germany's military leaders believe
tho moment OF Germany's victory Is
Mt hand. They hold this victory will
be achieved because OF the success
which will attend tho unlimited sub
marine warfare. and because OF the
shortage OF French munitions and
supplies. due to lack OF coal in France.
Moreover these leaders think the
fnal. overwhelming effort will be
made and complete success achieved
before America can move.
The answer which the Entente Pow
ers returned to the peace proposal. as
well us to President Wilson's sugges-
tions. so frightened Turkey that the
Ottoman Empire will continue In tho
war just so long as Germany defends
Constantinople.
