There is every indication that the
enemy is putting everything he has
into this third and perhaps the ulti-
mate phase of his offensive. 1t is be-
lieved that large masses of German
troops are concentrated in the bulge
i'm the 'front.' around Peronne, Roye,
Ham, Nesle and Noyon.
The allies calculate that more than
l00 German divisions (l,200,0OO men)
of fresh, or comparatively fresh re-
serves are at the kaiser S call. By
the usual rotation system others can
be brought into the offensive.
The fact that the German offensive
was resumed at three widely separate
places is regarded as significant The
thrusts along the Adsne and into the
hills southwest of Ypres made some
progress in places, but the attack in
the region of M6ntdidier apparently
was stopped without trouble. The last
may have been only feint.
(The attack in the region of Mont
didier apparently refers to the three
German assaults en- the American posi-
tions there yesterday morning,as these
were the only attacks reported in that
vicinity. Not only were they stopped,
with heavy enemy casualties, but the
Americans penetrated far into the
German lines by a counter attack.
Smms dispatch is the first reference
to this operation as a definite part
of the resumption of the German Of
fensive.)
The kaiser, in putting the crown
prince in command of the operations
along the Aisne, probably hopes for
something big to develop that will re-
store his heirs prestige at home.
Whether the attack in this region is
feint or the real thing, the kaiser
cannot keep his hand hidden much
longer.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 5.-America and the allies are planning to cooper ate in making available, as far as pos sible, food and other supplies neces- sary for the lives of the democratized civilian populations in once enemy countries.
 This became known tonight through the publication of a message from Col onel E. M. House at Paris to President Wilson, saying the supreme council at Versailles had adopted a resolution an- nouncing it's desire to cooperate with Austria, Bulgaria and Turkey in fur nishing the necessities of life for the suffering peoples of those nations.
 "At,the conclusion of the meeting of the supreme war council yesterday" said Colonel Houses message to the president concerning the armistiee terms, q proposed a resolution in the following sense and the same was adopted.
 "'The supreme war council in ses- sion at Versailles desires to cooperate with Austria, Turkey and Bulgaria in making available, as far as possible, of food and other supplies necessary for the lives of the civilian population of these countries.

 This announcement is expected to have far-reaching effect in Germany, where, from all accounts, the food sit uation is only little less serious than it was in the countries until recently allied with Germany Conditions are represented as particularly serious in Austria Hungary, where food riots have been frequent and where there had been intense suffering, not alone from the want of food but clothing and other necessities.
