which would have been considered
impossible in the early stages OF the
night raids.
They have learned also how to
take the best positions for combat
ing the enemy, and how to keep
those positions The Gotha, being
an extremely heavy machine, is
adept at slipping away. By a sud

ing scout it can create back

Cling to right his machine.
The British pilots now know how
to cope with that trick and to keep
within thirty or forty yards to the
raider all he time.
There are many pcrilous positions
round the Gotha, whose two gun
ners can fire in almost any dircc-
ton. Only highly skillful hand
ling of the attacking machine en-
ables the pilot to maintain a place
in which he can continue the fight
until he hits the raider in a vital
spot.

Cavalrymen, artillerymen and air
men are giving effective aid to the
Italian infantry in driving back the
Austrians towards the Piave.
One OF the principal activities OF
the allied avators, who now have
been joined by American t1iers, is to
prevent Austrian airmen from de-
livering sacks OF bread and other
food to the Austrian troops on the
western side of the Piave, where the
Austrians still are fighting tena-
ciously.
Around Montelo and in the re-

the enemy back. They are aided by

GO Help ENGLAND
SAYS this GERMAN

NEW YORK, n. Y, Feb 15-That
Hindenburg would undertake a great
general offensive this spring in an
endeayor to crush the British, French
and American armies and end the war
was forecast in a public lecture by
Major Won Olberg of the German Gen
eral Staff before the German Colonial
Society at erlin last month. Accord
ing to an account of his address
printed in German papers which have
reached here Major Won Olberg said
that as 1917 was the year of re-
venge, 1918 will be the year of de
cision."
Germans are to turn their eyes and
hearts to the west front from Elan
dors to venetia, ignoring the peace
negotiations in the East, the outcome
of which is "imlitarily without i'm
portance.
To-day" said Olberg, "our back is
free and we have the reserves which
We lacked in 1914, when we had to
defend East Prussia against the Rus
slams, The gerat offensive can now
start, and then God help Albion!"
Olberg, who was speaking officially
as head of one of the departments
Of the War Press Office, did not say
explicitly, however, that the prin-
cipal blow will be delivered against
the British forces, declaring that Hin
denbarg can be trusted to select the
proper place for the offensive.

ENGLAND PLANS TO
PAY OFF WAR DEBT

LONDON, Feb. 15.-The Empire
Resources Development Committee
has been trying to devise ways and
means of paying off the vast legacy
of debt that will be bequeathed by
the war. 1t has not been long at it.,
but according to H. Wilson-Fox, NJ.
P, a prominent member of the com,
mittee, it is making highly satisfac-
tory progress in the solution of the
problem.
If a grant of 20O,000,000 acres could
be negotiated, the committee believ-
ed, the nations food supply would be
assured and within qaurter of a
century the sale of farms in this area
would pay off large portion of the
Empires debt.
@Looking into the future" said the
lecturer, ''we can visualize the state
as an owner of vast herds of cattle
overseas raised on lands which are
today not untitled; as proprietor of
forests and valuable plantations of
tropical shrubs and trees grown on
acres which are still virgin, and the
harnesser of tropical waterfalls fed
by the eternal shows of India and
Africa; as an organizer of great com
mercial air services, and as the
reaper on an immense scale of the
manifold harvest of the seas. -
