ALLIES EXPECT A
TEUTON ATTACK

There has not been since the war
began such period of inaction as
that which lies between today and
the battle of Cambria. The capture
of Jerusalem interviewed and there
have been significant speeches, but
with regard to the big headlines,
which most of US consult as a baro-
meter for the Importance of news,
there has been nothing to report for
a couple of months. The weather is
not altogether responsible for this
fact. This lis the fourth winter of
war. The general idea is that this is
the hush before the storm, and that
Germany is about to start something
on the western front in the hope that
it may force peace upon US. Fol
Germany to make grand attack upon
the west would be for her to do the
obvious thing, and the Allied armies
are expecting it. If she does not. run
true to form she will try to continue
the battle against Italy. But in the
past few weeks her campaign there
has begged down. The Italian lines
are holding.
In the past it has been the German
custom to make drive at a single
one Of the Allies, and if the first drive
proved successful, to follow it up.
Belgium, Serbia and Roumania bear
witness to the truth of this state
ment. The Italian job has not been
completed, and as rule Germany is
thorough. 1t may be, however, that
the new Italian line cannot be broken
by the troops the Teutons can spare
for the purpose, and so Italy may be
| permitted to rest while Germany
makes her last and supreme effort on
the west, where she knows that the
war will be won or lost The prepar-
atoms for this effort may explain the
comparatively long period of inactiv-
| ity that has followed Byng's drive and
the German counter-attack. Artillery
has been busy for weeks, but so far
the infantry has not tried to CLEAN in
the field after the artillery. It seems
not unlikely that the artillery is be-
ing used to puzzle the defenders as to
where the blow will fall. When Ger
many strikes, however she will not
find an unprepared enemy. The Al
lied plans have been laid in the full
expectation of a German attack.
1t is expected that Germany will
reach her maximum strength upon
the western front within the next
three months. In one sense she is
past her meridian. If Russia had held
firm the German armies in the west
today would have been. smaller than
they were six months ago, and there
would be no possibility of them being
| increased. In that event every Ameri-
can soldier added in the west would
, have been so much velvet" Russia
having wavered, the numerical adj
vantage that was possessed by the
British and the Freneh las been de-
stroyed, and Probably in the course
of the next couple of months there
I will be not only more Germans than
ever before in France and Flanders,
but more Germans than British and
Americans. This proportion will last
for only short time, the American

achievements changing the proper
tion every day, and eventually max
ing the Germans a minority. 1t is
expected that before this day arrives
Hindenburg will make a supreme eff
fort. Germany will try to resume the
offensive she lost in 1916.
This probability is considered by
Lovat Fraser in the London Tele-
graph, who says that we ought not to
be greatly disturbed by the prospect
of grand German assault. He ridi-
cules the notion that Austrian troops
brought from the Russian and Italian
front will prove a factor. The Aus
trian troops have yet to prove that
they are regular soldiers. AS fighters
they have been the greatest "fivvers"
of the war. They have not won a bat
tie where the odds were not greatly
in their favor, and most of the bat
ties they have won have been under
German guidance. The notion that
Austrian troops can face and beat
massed British and French artillery
and infantry is one that probably not
even an Austrian considers. In fact,
Britain and France fear the Austrians
about as much as they would fear the
Mexicans. Austria is a lightweight
making a match with a heavyweight
when she takes hold in the west
Mr.. Fraser says that the expected
German stroke in the west is ike the
last throw of a gambler. Germany,
having recovered some hundreds of
thousands of men from the east, is
like gambler who has lost every
thing, and suddenly falls heir to an
other fortune. This he is prepared to
risk on a final toss in the hope of get
ting back what he has previously lost
| In real life we are aware that this
last throw rarely comes through. But
leaving all omens aside, the war has
proved that the great advantage rests
with those who are attacked. To break
the first line of defense is compare
lively easy; it has been done again
and again. To break succeeding
lines and hold gains is tremendous
task. To get in is feasible; to get
through has. proved almost impossi-
BILE. Moreover, the Allies are expect
ing a German attack. She cannot foo
them by not attacking. She has either
to attack or do nothing. The sands in
the glass keep running out, and the
longer she does nothing the less able
will she be to do anything. Germany's
last chance will occur in the next five
| months.

Feeling in Norway against Amer
lea and to a less degree against the
other Entente Allies is growing bit
ter. 1t is reported that America de-
mands the stoppage Of Norwegian
exports to Germany in return for
shipments of grain to Norway, but
refuses to guarantee or promise Nor
way any supplies. The Norwegians
are asking why they should offend
Germany by curtailing supplies at
the bequest of America, and also risk
being left empty handed by America

provisions and other goods from AM
erica are received -arr.azement

it is an open secret that the Danes

favored by America and the Allies
and they ask why. The Germans are
making most of the opportunity for
propaganda.
