impresses American military men. In
its weekly review today the war de-
Sartment records the conclusion that
The enemy in spite of his vast prepare >
lions will not take the offensive unless
forced into it. This confirms the opin-
lon many officers have expressed for
weeks in the face of official forecasts
to the contrary from both sides of the
Atlantic.
While hostile preparations for an
offensive in the west are not Slacken
ing, their view says, 1t is becoming
more evident that the enemy will
launch the offensive only if compelled
to do so by the exigency OF The general
strategic situation
The nature of tho information upon
which the opinion is based is not dis
closed. 1t is noted that fresh German
divisions have arrived on the western
front and the German lines are said
to De approaching the point in density
beyond which it would be impossible
to go without choking communication

the activities of American troops, now

the sectors lying close to the Swiss
border. The official communicate, how
ever, adds nothing to recently published
press reports Of the raids and trench
fighting in which the Americans have
been involved.
Elsewhere on the western front the
experts find no evidence OF impending

period Of inactivity. the statement says,

trations in the Italian theater which

Judging from the countless prepara- lions and treatments which are con finually being advertised for the pur- pose Of making thin people feshy, de- Veloping arms. neck and bust. and re- placing ugly hollows and angles by the soft curved lines of health and beauty, there are evidently thousands of men and women who keenly feel their excessive thinDeSS.
 Thinness and weakness are usually due to starved nerves Our bodies need more phosphate than is contained sn modern foods. Physicians claim there is nothing that will supply this dedeieHey SO well as the organic phos- phate known among druggists as bitro- phosphate. which Is inexpensive and is sold by Lee & Osgood and most all druggists under 8 guarantee Of satis- faction or money back. By feeding the nerves directly and by supplying the body cells with the necessary phos- phOric food elements, bitro-phosphate quickly produces a welcome trans lorna ton in the appearance; the in- crease In weight frequently being as tonishing.
 This increase in weight also carries with it a general improvement in the health. Nervousness. sleeplessness and lack of energy. which nearly always accompany excessive thinness. soon disappear, dull eyes become bright Of perfect health.
 CAUTION Alt taough bitro- phosphate fe unsurpassed for relieving nervous ness sleeplessness and general weak ness it should not owing to its re- nlarkable flesh growing properties be used by anyone who does not desire to put on flesh.
