Shipping Obstacles Overcome
and American Forces are

REQUIREMENTS ARE MET
Army Officials Believe That Major
Operations Of 1918 Campaign VIII
Not Be Very Long De-
Iayed Now.

Washington, March 9.-It Is learn
ed that troops and supplies for Gen.
eral Pershing's forces are now moving
to France on schedule time. ,
Willie figures may not be published.
it is stated positively that transpor'
tation requirements Of the army are
being net by the Shipping board and
the immediate situation as to ships
was described as satisfactory.
In view OF this assurance that the
United States will be able to main
tain its place as a fighting unit on the
battlefront, reports from the Western
{, ont are being scanned mere eagerly
han ever by officers here for he first
Signs OF the 1918 campaign.
In previous years. April has seen Of
.ensive operations set in motion by
the Allies For that reason many Of
fcers here seem to anticipate raiding
and minor assaults before the middle
of next month, which will show in
themselves that the ground Is being
mapped, information obtained and
local stragetic advantages established
by one side or the other in prepar.
alton for a great effort.
Date Of Drive Doubtful.
To others it appears probable that
no offensive will be undertaken on any
considerable scale before May l. They
found that view on reports hat the
French offensive in 1916 started in
too early. Guns and supplies could
not be brought forward to consolidate
all the ground the troops were able
to wrest from German control.
Meanwhile there has been less dis
cussion of a German offensive. There
are observers here who have never
been convinced that the Germans
actually intended to attempt another
drive at the channel ports or at Paris.
To these officers, the admitted concen
tration Of German forces has seemed q
defensive rather than an offensive
step. They believe that the German
general stan foresaw a great Allied
effort this year and were moving to
offset Il.
Allied Line Superior.
While much has been said, both Of.
ficially and unofficially, OF an expect
ed German offensive. nothing as to
probable aggressive Measure by the
Allied forces has come over the cables
This fact has attracted great at
ention because Of the reiterated offic-
ial declarations that the Allied line
outmatches the Germans IN gun and
in man power, and in view of the for
nation during winter of the Supreme
War council, designed to make the
warfare more aggressive on the part
of the Allies and the United States.
A substantial American army al
ready is in the trenches on the West
ern front and Secretary Baker has
indicated that there will be at least
a million American troops in France
during 1918.
