Maehinaton. Ian. 2.=t,ntile unity is henrciolth lo be the WalchWord or tht United States and her allies in the prosecution of the war. Amer iean troops are to be rushed to the fighting front in large numbers as quickly as possible. and there IS 10 be perfect coordination in military, naval. financial. food. war industries Snd diplomatic matters.

 Expect Strong Attack.
 That quick work in getting the American aimy 10 the front is most vital, IS indicated by statement of Ma for General Maurice, chief director ef military operations al the British war office General Maurice says it is probable that with their heavy rein forcements drawn from the eastern tc the western fronts, the Germans shortly will make strong offensive against the British and French arm es. and that the enemy may be ex- pectrd to make some gain. Optimism was expressed however. that the enemy would not be able to inflict the
 anne degree of damage upon the a lles as he has sustained at the hands of the British during the last year.
 Apparent proof that the Germans are preparing for a big offensive is the almost continuous bOmbardment of various sectors along the British and French front Aside from these bOmhartlments there has been little activity except by small raiding parties
