With French Armies in the Field,
March 28.-Milltary experts consider
that dynaStic reasons are affecting the
German offensive plans Should the
Bavarian crown princes offensive
meet with a measure of success, 1t is
considered highly probable the Ger
man crown prince will take advan-
tage of the situation to launch a sec
ond offensive in the Champagne
region, for the purpose of restoring
Hohenzollern pestige- If the BaVarlan
offensive does not succeed, the Ger
man crown prince is likely to refrain
from compromising himself.
A year ago. when the Germans re-
treated onto the Hindenburg line, they
prepared what unqueStionably was IN
tended for vast battlefield upon
which they hoped to lure the French
for decisive battle.
The entire plain extending north
west and south of st. Quentin was de-
nuded of every tree, house and other
obstacle which might serve to protect
on the southern extremity of the plain,
where Prince Eitel Friedrich's hunt
ing lodge is located was denuded of
everything except the lodge itself.

Thru the Holman forest, northwest
of st. Quentin, the Germans cut vast
avenues a hundred yards wide and

hind st. Quentin to see any movement
of French troops.

themselves to be lured into the
trap, nevertheless the vast pre-ar-

seeking again to utilize the ground
which is most favorable to the Ger

German Drive Again Destroys Villages
Restored by Americans.

With the French Armies in the
Field, March 2S.-Many towns and
villages in which Smith college girls,
Anne Morgan, Elsie De Wolfe and
numerous other American charity
workers spent hundreds of thousands
of dollars, succoring the population
and restoring the devastation, are
again the center of a battlefield and
renewed devastation.
All restoration so far accomplished
in these places has been redis+royed.
There is every reason to believe the
workers have had ample time to
evacuate the threatened cities before
the battles approach.
