U. S. TIDE HUN MENACE
Germans Cannot Wait Too Long to
Resume Offensive, British War
Office Tells Associated Press.

London, May 18.-The following
summary of the military situation has
been given to the Associated Press as
representing the considered, opinion
Of the British General Staff:
THE situation on the west front
has been quiet during the last week,
except for minor raiding operations,
in which the allies, on the whole, had
the advantage.
THE momentum of the Germans in
the opening Spring offensive has been
expended, but it is clear that they
are now boiling up for another big eff
fort
1.-THE longer the Germans wait the
more men they can put in from di
visions which have been resting and
reforming, and if they wait only a
little while longer they will be able
to resume the offensive on the same
scale as before, when they opened
on front of fifty miles
But they cannot wait too long. The
steady stream of American reinforce
ments is coming faster and faster.
THE GermaBs still pretend to
treat the Americans as negligible, but
the German staff does not underrate
them. If the German staff had not
ldheh llle Amen Ce1H alI my SellouSly, II
is doubtful whether they would
hazard their whole future on the
dangerous eXpedient of a Spring Of
fensive this year
1.-THE Americans will have to buy
their experience, but Americans are
good business men and can be de-
pended on to buy in the cheapest mar
ket and sell at the dearest price.
''rTha British staff is confident that
the American army will make good
and that the American nation will
never let go until the end"

For some weeks temporary meas
ures taken by the Ministry of Agri-
culture have resulted in the almost
total disappearance of meat from the
dinner tables. Fish and eggs have
taken the place Of meat. The potato
ration was also reduced recently. The
situation as a whole has given an
impetus to boarding.
In the meantime the Government
has not obtained German permission
to send three ships to America for
food. Neither has the new economic
agreement with Germany material
lied, apparently because the Dutch
shrink from paying the price from

suit, coal imports from the east have
