time will find it too late when the
winter weather sets in, and when the

GENERAL STAFF
IS CONFIDENT

Washington, March SO.-"What-
ever may be the present ground held
by the Germslns and whatever sacri-

lies will see it through and will win."
This statement issued late last
night Maj. Gen. Peyton G. March, act
ing chief Of staff, after he had read
the latest dispatches from Gen. Per-
shing, epitomized the renewed conf
dence felt here in the light of the
last phases Of the fighting.
Four new divisions, containing
about 4O,OO men, have been brought
from the Russian frontier to rein
force the attacking troops, Gen. Per-
shing reports.
With the French wrestling the ini-
tiative from the enemy at important
points and the British, according to
Field Marshal Haig's report, check
ing the Germans along their whole
front the late naws from the battle
zone did much to offset the earlier
disturbing impressions caused BY the

General Staff Confident.
General staff officers are confident
now that the time is approaching
when an allied counter attack can be
effectively launched, and they believe
that substantial American forces will
participate in this move.
The spirit and elan Of the French,
reported In latest advices, indicates
that the tide is perhaps beginning to
turn already.

Sullen Defensive
Tactics Adopted
By the Gernan'

: NEW YORK, March 3O.--As far a
} can be foreseen, the combat in tn
west has definitely turned in favor O
the allies, with the Germans begin
ming to engage in sullen defensiv,
tactics at important strategic points
The German front is now entanglec
in dangerous formations, due to vor
Hindenburg's failure to keep his for.
ward movements advancing at com.
mon speed. The serious situation Of
having outrun Germany's ability to
provide . sufficiently large .perman-
ent army to protect the new battle
front il beginning to face Won Hin
denburg. Even if the allies do not
develop major counter attack, a
retirement of the Germans may be
forced by series of local assaults,
giving Won Hindenburg no rest at any
part of his unwieldy front. When the
present drive began the German line
from Arras to Craonne measured
about 85 miles. The battle front be-
tween the same points Is now about
l2O miles. Each additional mile
means Won Hindenburg must find
probably 5000 soldiers for defens-
i've purposes. If, therefore, the Ger
mans attempt to retain their present
positions permanently they must in
crease their trench garrisons by about |
100000 men, and find the reserves to
make good the constant losses to
which this force will be subjected.
1t was this same problem that com
PEELED the Germans to move back to
The Hindenburg line last March and

,ime they had a somewhat lengthy
'ront to defend between Arras and
5raonne than now. The old diff
ulty of manpower has, therefore,
'een revived by Won Hindenburg in n
n even more serious form than pre- {
iously.
Won Hindenburg must now accept {
