German War Leader
Prophesied Offensive
"Backs Now Free and We
Have Reserves" Said
Major Won Olberg

Open prophecy that Hindenburg
would undertake a great general often
sive in the West this spring in an en-
deavor to crush the British, French
and American armies and end the war
was made in a public lecture by ajor
Won Olberg, Of the German General
Staff, before the German Colonial So
cety at Berlin last month.
According to an account of his ad-
dress printed in German papers which
have reached here, Major Won Olbere
said that as 1917 had been the "year
of revenge" 1918 would be the "year
of decision" Germans were to turn
their eyes and hearts to the West front
from Flanders to Venetia, ignoring the
peace negotiations in the East. the
outcome Of which was "militarily with
out Importance"
"To- day" said Major Won Olbcrg,
"our back is free and we have the re-
serves which we lacked in 1914, when
we had to defend East Prussia against
the Russians. The great offensive can
now start, and then God help Albion
Won Olberg, who was speaking off,
cially as head of one of the depart
ments of the war press office. did not
say explicitly, however, that the prin-
cipal blow would be delivered against
the British forces, declaring that Hin
denburg could be trusted to select the
proper place for the offensive.

Correspondence Of The Associated Press

PARIS, Jan. 12.-TankS are expected
to play a more prominent part in the
French operations this coming spring
and summer, following the creation of
a special department of the French
War Office to deal with this problem.
In a report made recently to the
President of the republic, Premier
Clemenceau said:
"This artillery is becoming of great
Importance on the battlefield. The
period of trial is at an end, experience
having shown what can be expected OF
a large quantity of this kind of artil-
lery when thoroughly tuned up and
we'll handled.
"Thc time has come to treat it as
one of the regular arms of the service
and place it under control of the War
Ministry instead of the Munitions Min
stry Henceforth the quantities and
type required will be decided by the
War Minister, after consultation with
the Munitions Minister, who will see
to their manufacture"

Meanwhile, after deluging the French
