of aviation, are perhaps the principal
factors in delaying the Germans

thrust will come on the Western
front, but all the Allied commanders
are confident of their ability to with
stand it,
Activities along the various fronts
have been of minor character during
the last week, General March said
The process of small raids along the
French line has been continued, with
practically UNMARRIED success for the
Allies.
The most striking advance has been
in Albania, where, aided by British
and Italian monitors, operating from
the sea, a general advance over a cres-
cent-shaped sector OF eighty miles IN
length has been made, the advance be-
ing twenty-five miles at its deepest
point The former crescent into the
Allied line there has been wiped out
and straight front substituted.
More Extensive Plans
General March said no official reports
nttem pting to explain the delay in the
German offensive had reached the War
Department. He indicated his own
opinion. however, that the time that has
now elapsed since the last German
drive is not greater than would have
been necessary to prepare adequately
for an assault of the scope of that
which the Germans are believed to be
contemplating.
The fact that American forces are
being rapidly shipped to France is re-
garded as possibly the reason for even
more extensive German preparations.
