TO SHARE ATTACK.

As Many AS 100000 Americans May
Be in Reserve Army For Counter
Blow.
All Washington is keyed up in en-
pectat.on of a mighty counter-otfen-
sive by the Allies; an offensive which,
it is confidently believed in military
circles, will deal a paralyzlng bio"
to German military power. 1t may
not end the war, of course, but II 1t
is carried out upon the scale antlcl-
pated and with the success that Is
fervently hoped for, it will materially
shorten the war.
And when this offensive comes t
will find the army of the United States
fighting side by side with that OF
France and Great Britain. More
than $4,000 Americans, and possibly
100000, will take part IN the counter
drive, it is stated today, and not one
unit will be withdrawn from the
trenches now occupied by the forces
of the United States. This gives a
fair intimation of the number OF men
this country has in France, far
greater number, it will be admitted
than dreamed outside official conf
dence..
