ON HINDENBURG LINE

Washington. Nav 18th. Anal bat
tie of the war will be fought on tins
Hindenburg line
A prediction - that affect. hased on
a careful study NJ the battle situation
as 1t stands. was the Interesting out
rut today of American military ex-
perts. commenting on the latest boast
inEs of the kaiser at Aiv~Le -Chappeile.
Reports received from the enemy's
lines. the military experts declared.
showed clearly that the German war
lords themselves were prepared for a
final test on the Hjpdenhurg line. White
there - every evidence that the Ger
mans are preparing another supreme
offensive. there is also evidence. II ~
stated, that the German general STAFF
is prepared to fall back on the defen-
stve positions as they were following
the British Cambria offensive. 1t la
there the kaiser liz said to have al.
rected that the German army must put
up It's last defense. II victory In ths
present offensive is denied. Under no
circumstance, he Is declared to have
said, must the war be allowed to 70
to the point where the German army
~ forced back to the Rhine, and the
German cities along the Rhine are ex.
posed to the guns of the allies.
knowing this. the experts here de-
clare, the kaiser is resorting TO mere
camoufage when ne claims on the
basis of his conquests in Russia, Rr-
mania, Ukraine, CORTLAND. Esthonis
and Lithuania to have already won
the war. He realizes, IL is said. that
only forty miles of territory ON the
western front lie between the pres
ent line and the line OF finai reckon
ing. Should his armies be thrashed at
that point, he is said to appreciate
fully these other conauests Will crun,-
BILE away.
This Is the situation army men here
says that emphasizes the fact that Ger
many TO be defeated must be whipped
In the field and on the western trent.
Saying this. they do not underestimate
the task ahead. 1t may be several
years they agree, before the test can
come AT all events both they ana Of
