Allies VIII Strike First
Blo,O in Spring, is Belief

In previous years April has seen
offensive operations set in motion
by the allies. For that reason many
officers here seem 10 anticipate raid
ing and minor assaults before the
middle Of next month, which will
show in themselves that the ground
is being mapped, information OBJ
tanned and local strategic advan-
tages established by one side or the
other in preparation for a great eff
fort.
No Offensive Until May.
To others it appears probable that
no offensive will be undertaken on
any cOnsidera bic scale before May
]. They found that view on reports
that the French offensive in 1916
started in April proved to be at
least two weeks too early. The guns
and transports could not be brough;
forward 10 consolidate all the
ground the troops were able TO wrest
from German control.
Meanwhile, during the last few
days there has been less discussion
OF a German offensive on the west
ern front. There are observers here
who have never been convinced that
the Germans actually intended TO at
tempt another drive at the channel
ports or at Paris To these officers
the admitted concentration of Ge--
man forces has seemed a defensive
rather than an offensive step. They
/ believed that the German general
/ staff foresaw a great allied effort
/ this year and were moving 10 offset
It.
! Secrecy Masks Action.
While much has been said both
/ officially and unofficially OF an eX-
/ pected German offensive, nothing
as 10 probable aggressive measures
\ by the allied forces has come over
\ the cables. This fact has attracted
/ particular attention because of the
/ reiterated official declarations that
/ the allied line outmatches the Ger
/ mans in gun and man power, and
/ in view Of the formation during the
winter of the supreme war council
designed 70 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 Sec'y Baker has indi-
Gated that there may be at least
million American troops In Fran,
during 1918.
