GERMANY'S LAST
MAJOR EFFORT
BY CARL GRoAr

iBT UNITED PRESS
WASHINGTON. July 15.-Germany' &
fifth great drive in the west. opening
today against the Franco-American
forces on a fifty mile front. is expected
BY military men here TO be her greatest
and last major offensive action. Its To-
cation indicates that the Germans have
elected 70 try anew for Paris or to
strike so heavily as TO draw French
from the north.
The apparent intention appears 10 be
the former. Military men agree that
difficult DAYS again are ahead but add
that the Americans and French are in
shape 70 withstand the blow better than
the allies were when the drive mrs,
started March 2Ist. They predict the
operations viii be stopped. Come ground
will be gained but none believes the
Germans viii win strategical victory.
If the Germans fail as expected il is
believed they cannot undertake another
major operation this year Then with
American strength constantly and rapid
~ growing the manpower balance VIII
swing against the Germans That means
the Germans viii be on the defense and
that IN time they will be defeated
