tile.
Germany has done her utmost TO stir
the Bolsheviki to make a drive in north
ern Russia, even getting a treaty pro-
viding for such an effort. On the Othei
hand there have been indications that
the Allies expected to forestall such a
movement by taking the initiative and
moving southwark.
The number or nature OF the new
troops is not revealed, but 1t is assumed
that they are at English or French
camps and are well seasoned.
Press dispatches indicate That they are
from the northern tier Of states and
that many Of them can speak Russian,
thus combining the military with the
propaganda offensive.
Unofficial reports that the Bolshevik,
had seized Consul Poole Of Moscow

point between the Meuse and
Moselle.
Besides offering the opportu-
nifty of reaching Germany by a
short line, the drive presents the
chance of preventing added Ger
man pressure further north.
The drive toward the linden
burg line has been materially
slowed up the last few days by
German concentrations of unused
troops.
The American drive, therefore,
is likely to compel Germany to
thin out her forces around St.
Quentin. And it is likely to be so
forcible a blow that considerable
gains in the Toul sector will be
accompanied by further pushing
toward the Hindenburg line.
Some military experts felt that
it offered the opportunity of show
ing the Boche well past the Hin
denburg line and compelling him
to drop back to the Meuse line at
least.

however. that In his own choice there
