j. s. WAR EXPERTS
MOST OPTIMISTIC
GENERAL BELIEF is THAT THIS
WILL BE LAST GERMAN Of
FENSIVE OF THE YEAR.
Express Hope That Allied Forces De-
Tending Marine Will lnflict Defeat
Similar to That Suffered
BY the Austrians.

shington.-Reports of the Ger
man drive reaching here lead army
experts to hope that the allied forces
defending the Marine will be able to
intlict defeat upon the Germans
similar TO that suffered by the Aus
TRANS in their vain efforts at the
Piave.
Because of the general belief that
the offensive Is the last the Germans
can undertake this year, and because
General Foch for the first time since
he assumed general command has an
adequate force under him, interest
here is at fever heat. Soon after
press reports announced the initiation
of the drive. President Wilson called
upon Secretary of War Baker at the
war department. At that time Secre-
tary Baker had received no late dis
patches from the American headquar-
tiers.
Although 1t was reported that Pres
ident Wilson'S visit with Secretary
Baker had to do with the part which
the Unitd States may play in the aid
to be sent to Siberia no confirmation
was available. Officials interested in
the Siberian question stated that all
matters in relation to the Russian
question were proceeding favorably.
An announcement In regard to the
economic mission Is not expected until
members of the mission have reached
Vladivostok.
Surprise Element Lost.
1t is pointed out that the excel
lence of the intelligence reports of
that the German attack did not take
the Americans by surprise and the
early report that the American forces
were so disposed that they were able
quickly to organize an effective coun-
terattack, gave rise to the belief that
the Germans soon would be checked.
The new German drive is looked
upon by many close students of Ger
man strategy as part of new
peace offensive. 1t Is held that the
Germans hope to push their lines for
ward to a point where they can con-
centrate many high powered guns
upon Paris.
To Brighten Paris.
It Is pointed out that Germany may
have construed that her only hope
of forcing the allies to consider
peace move at this time would be
to place Paris in danger of being re-
duced to ashes. From propaganda
sent out from German quarters 1t is
evident that In the coming month,
great efforts will be made to weaken
the will to win among the allies. For
that reason, an attack against the
French and the Americans Is intend
ed to demonstrate that the new forces
on the French battlefield can never
be depended upon to hurl the Ger
mans across the Rhine.

Confidence Within French Lines.

Paris.-The first day of the Of
fensive was big defeat for the enc
my, says the Havas correspondent
on the French front On the entire
attacking front the enemy was not
able to break through the allied po-
sitions. The slight advances made,
he adds, may be considered as moth
ing on account of the efforts dis
played and the losses sustained, a
general Impression of confidence
reigns within the French lines.

From far-nwny Asia comes cry

By GEORGE BARR McCUTCHEON
OF The Vighonfes

In the little Connecticut town of
Norfolk there is triangular piece of
ground belonging to the people. For
years 1t stood useless. almost aban-
doned. and to IL certain extent un-
noticed. Norfolk sent to France early
In 1918 a score and half of her boys
TO fight with the American armies.
Other, boys followed and still more in
due course were called from the small
Sbut hardy class representing the fight
ing quota.
\ few months after the first contin-
gent marched out Of the town on Its
way to the training camp and thence
TO the line of battle, Norfolk began to
receive its share of tidings from the
front Names of boys known to every
one in the town were found in the lists
of those KILLED in action" Boys whose
faces were bright and shining and
whose voices were strong and CHEEKY
were never to return. They were lying
in the fields of France, covered with
the earth of France. and over the
graves of each stood the small but
noble cross of wood bearing n name
and date.
The return of these names to Nor
folk instead of flesh and blood that
went away, gave Norfolk its inspira-
tion. The little green triangle became
n tract of glory. No more will it be
looked upon as a waste, no more Will
the people of Norfolk call 1t a worth

Tree for Each Hero.
On Flag day in the year that the
war made heroes of these lads from
Norfolk the people of that place dedi-
Gated the point of this triangle to the
memory of those who were mott to come
back from France. At that time four
of Norfolk's boys were lying In
France under cheap little crosses of
wood, and on this day four little
crosses of wood similar to those in
France. with name and date on
each. were driven in the ground Mt
the point of the triangle, and there
they will stay until they are perhaps
replaced by more enduring and i'm
pressive marks of tribute. But the lit
tie crosses of wood are not all that
the people of Norfolk placed in the
village triangle in memory of the boys
who Will not come back. Something
that Will live and thrive and beautify
