 Watching 1918 Campaign.
 :. In view of this assurance that the United States will be able to maintain it's place as a fighting unit on the battle front, reports from the western front are being scanned more eagerly than ever by officers here for the first signs of the 1918 campaign. It is felt strongly that the opening of major operations in what President Wilson has predicted will prove the decisive year of the great war will not be much longer delayed. Mud has been the determining factor of many previous western front operations. So long as the ground is soft with the winter rains, it is impossible to move for ward great guns and necessary trans port trains to support an advancing line. Even in Flanders, however. in- dications this year are that the ground will harden early in spring, permitting either side to undertake the enter prises planned.
 Ground is Being Mapped.
 In previous years April has seen of. i fensive operations set in motion b, the allies. For that reason many of ficers here seem to anticipate raidins and minor assaults before the middl, {, of next month which will show il l Themselves that the ground is being mapped, information obtained and To 1 cal strategie advantages established l by one side or the other in prepara
 ton for. a great effort.
 Germans on Defensive.
 | Meanwhile. during the last few day there has been less discussion Of German offensive on the western front There are observers here who neve
 have been convinced that the Ger
 mans actually intend to attempt an other drive at the channel ports or a
 Paris. To these officers. the admitte concentration of German efforts Ina
 seemed a. defensive rather than an of tfeusives step They believe that tl 4 f0ierran general staff foresaw a grea ' 4allied effort this year and were nnorin I to offset it. While much has been said 10th of ticially and unoffieially of an expecte German offensive nothing as to prob I able aggressive mea sures by the al lied forces has come over the cable
 This fact has attracted particular al
 tention because of the reiterated off
 eial declarations that the allied lin Eontmatches the Germans in gun an
 man power, and in view of the fSrma ton during the winter of the supren

Prosperity For
Phosphate Men

the following letter from John d.
Toll, secretary.
Push Phosphate During Summer
81. Movement of Phosphate Rock
Transportation conditions just now
are comparatively easy. We believe
those industries requiring transporta-
ton of phosphate rock from the Flor
ida district through the Virginia gate
ways, so-called, should give special
attention during the summer to get
tingthis rock moved and into stock
piles just so far as possible against
the period which seems sure to fol-
low in the fall and winter when the
transportation demands may require
some restrictive methods.
1--WE would make a suggestion that
particular emphasis should at this
time be placed on shipping to points
reached via these gateways as against
stocking at points taking the river
crossings west of Portsmouth, o..
for undoubtedly there will be great
er degree Of free movement through
these points during the period of
heavy traffic than will be the case
through Virginia.
$50 far therefore, as you and your
associates can assist in this respect
will be to our mutual advantage.
"2. Distribution of Fertilizer.-W
recommend a campaign of earlier
distribution of fertilizer; ca direct tc
the farmer; (b) to storage at strate'
gic points from which local distribu
ton can be made with less transpor
tation when the period Of heavier traf
fic demands are upon us"
