ALL American Offensive MAY
Disarrange Enemy's Program

WASHINGTON. Sept. TO-
That Germany is about to at
tempt something approaching .
counter offensive along the
Western line Is the belief here
today.
Presence OF an unusual amount of
artillery and increasing evidence of
the massing of reserves at certain
vulnerable points indicate that the
Teutons have plans for a stand.
The allies have regained practical
ly what they lost in the German
smash. Germany is now striving to
halt the onrush on virtually the lines
extending before the March push.
This Teuton attempt is taken as
proof OF the assertion that this ma
ton must not rest content in the
thought that all is plain sailing.
1t is said here that the German ef-
forts will not succeed. But it may
prove a delaying process. and it may
serve to partly check the allied pro-
gram.
However, II Is believed that Gen.
Foch has plans which propose no let
UP in the initiative. To this end. he
may utilize the vast all-American
army for stroke at a new point in
the distinctly American section of
the line Such blow would un-
doubtedly disorganize enemy plans
and require a shifting of painfully
gathered reserves.
In any case, the German MANI pow
er situation is such that he can new

The British today hold their old
