Drive Against Italy
Expected Soon.

London. May 15.-What of the drive
In Italy? No one knows whether or
when It will come, but everybody be-
lieves II is bound to come almost i'm
mediately. The military critics of the
Berne Gazette, which is usually well
informed. predict the offensive as an
imminent certainty.
A Reuter- dispatch from Rome re-
ports a great massing of Austrian
troops and artillery along the Alpine
line, and particularly In the Friuii
Plains. The Austrians. says the dis
patch. are trying to conceal their
movements. which are undertaken
mostly at nighttime.
Austrian airmen are feverishly try
ing to prevent the Italians from
making reconnaisances that might
reveal the disposition Of the Teuton
forces.
Fresh Forces For West.
As for the Western battle, the
latest report from German sources
is that Prince Leopold of Bavaria,
who was commander-in-chie OF the
Eastern front, has left Brest-Lito-
vsk for the West front. Recent re-
ports were to the effect that both
he and Field Marshal Won Macken-
sen were scheduled to bring fresh
forces to the West. The heavy
German losses since March Il un-
doubtedly compel the Kaiser's high
command to gather every ounce of
available manpower for the new
test of strength.
Paris military critics agree that
the coming German attack will be
directed against the front between
La Bassee and Villers-Brteonneux
and that the chief blow will fall
on the Arras-Albert sector in the
direction of the allied base at Doul-
ems, the German aim still being to
separate the French and British
armies.
French Successes.
Last night and today the French
scored a couple of notable successes
north of KENNEL. in Flanders, and
around Hailles. southeast OF Am
lens. In the latter area they cap
tured a wood on the west bank of
the Avre. Above KENNEL they took
prisoners in an advance which i'm
proved their lines, and which is sd-
mitted by Berlin. The German war
office, on the other hand, claims 120
prisoners in the same sector. and

The figures of the new German d.

The ordinary or regular German bat

company carrying twelve heavy ma

Foe orsanlses 10 Divisisns.

General Hindenburg is orgshiz-
ing twenty -sturm' divisions for his
forthcoming effort to break the
British army. according to reports
received here yesterday by Ameri-
can army strategists. Upon the
success or failure of the new Ger
man military creation rests the fate
Of the German cause, say the ex-
perts here.
Allied leaders believe that the
German strategy involves the use
of q large part of these divisions in
the initial effort, and that the drive
will be attempted on a 60-mile
front. The new German plans call
for the use of ordinary divisions in
support work. From the figures an
nounced 1t would appear that the
Germans will depend upon gas and
machine guns to clear the way to
the Channel ports. No mention OF
bombers is made.
The Washington herald., 1918-05-16
Composition Of Units.

The unit of the new picked di-
visions is the battalion. Each bat
talon will have approximatelye1.1o 100
men and a division will be made up
of twelve battalions or 13.2o0 men.
The composition Of each division
will be: Forty-eight companies Of
picked infantry, 1s2 trench mortars,
$50 heavy machine guns, 10 liquid fire
machines, IS light-ield guns. heavy
mortars.
The twenty divisions will constitute
the 10000 picked men Of the German
forces. II the attack OF these divi-
sions can be halted, the allies can
rest content for the moment in the
knowledge that the flower of the
German army has been thrown back
bruised and broken.
Under the new German formation
system, each battalion is a unit of
itself. 1t Is a carefully-balanced or
ganization with special men assigned
for every emergency. One Of the new
features OF the plan involves the use
of light trench mortars which will
throw an eight-pound shell 1.5oo yards.
II Is believed that the Germans hope
to maintain a steady barrage. no mat
ter how great the advance Of their
troops may be, and have hit upon the
plan Of using very light trench guns.

the simple request. We are sure Mr..
Sloan does not want the Office of Com
missioner if he did not get majority
OF the votes; and we are equally sure
Mr.. Howard would not have it if
there was the slightest doubt Of his
being entitled to it. Therefore, by
all means, let Mr.. Sloan have his re-
count, in the presence Of the sheriff
and Of any or all others he may de-
sire to be present, and let the matter
be settled.
From our viewpoint either gentle
man would make an excellent Com
missioner, and the whole affair seems
to us to be agitated and exaggerated
somewhat out of proportion to its i'm
portance by those who never lose the
opportunity to SOW the seed Of sus-
picion, dissension and discord.

AVIATOR GAVE FORT MEADE
A SURPRISE VISIT

Yesterday about ten O'Clock citi-
zens heard the buzzing of a powerful
airplane motor and on looking out dis
covered that a big flying machine was
performing all kinds Of mid-air stunts
"a sure enough surprise visit.
The airplane flew over the city for
perhaps fifteen minutes before land
ing on the aviation field and by this
time a large crowd had hurriedly
gathered at the landing site, in man.
ner and fashion that people usually
gather at a big fire or something OF
equal excitement.
The plane had only one passenger,
Lieut.. Taylor. He made the trip
without any trouble whatever and ex-
pressed himself as we'll pleased with
the condition of the landing site here.

and gave the opinion that mach1nes
would be making frequent trips with
in very short time, that they would
come and go at will, being unan-
nounced.
1t is particularly gratifying to the
citizens here that the aviators are
taking advantage of the opportunity
to make flights to the Fort Meade
site. The town is maintaining the
field and is ready to furnish, at any
time or all the time, whatever police
protection that is necessary.
Col. Pechet, the major in charge of
Carlstrom Field, thinks the site here
is in fine condition and perfectly safe

zens of Fl Meade may be on the

certainly coming.-Ft. Meade Leader.
