The English forces in the field do not
expect the German offensive to take the
form of q heavy blow against one of
the principal fronts-Flanders, the
French front or Italy--according to
the correspondent of "Lc Journal" Of
Paris. at British headquarters in the
field. They think, rather, that there
will be series of violent local Of
fensivcs. powerful assaults, intended
TO tire out and demornlizc the Allies.
One of the chief reasons for this
opinion is what has been learned from
recent raids on the German lines. Both
the Germans and the English are con-
stantly conducting raiding parties on
the Flanders front, and the prisoners
brought in have enabled the British to
know both the number o1 troops in line
before them and the German reserve
force. They have learned that in the
reserve camps the German troops are
undergoing no special training in prep
aration for an offensive.
Germany is returning to the system
of grouping her army corps by ma

in the war For example, the Bavar-

ians arc put together under Bavarian
generals and the Saxons under Saxon
generals. But this is apparently not
in preparation for an offensive, but as
n measure of discipline and in order to
stimulate the esprit dc corps and the
rivalry between the different nation
alitics.
Since May troops from the Russian
front have been in Flanders, and dur
ing tho great battles there were often
identified among the shock battalions
of the German army. But the great
mass OF men withdrawn from the East
crn line was composed of old terri
torials, who were rather workmen than
soldiers. They could be used to re-
build the trenches and fortifications
and could even hold the trenches in
quiet sectors. but that was all that
could be expected Of them.

Czernin Opposed, Instead
of Defending, Conquest
of Belgium
"Pre-War" Deleted
From His Speech
Real Statement Said That
Only Original Possessions
Would Be Defended

!. LONDON, Feb. 5.-Tho most impor-
tant passage IN the war aims speech
which Count Czernin, the Austro-Hur-
garian Foreign Minister, delivered be-
fore the Eeichsrat, on January "a,
which is now creating Il storm OF anti
Austrian agitation il Germany and
Bulgaria, was clcverly distorted so as
20 change completely its meaning in
the version which Inc German Wolf
Bureau permitted TO go to England and
America.
Referring 10 President Wilson'S pro-
posals. the Austro- Hungarian Foreign
Minister was quoted as saying:
Il think there IS no harm in stating
that [ regard the recent proposals of
President Wilson as an apprcciablc ap-
proach 70 the Austro-Hungarian point
Of view, and that TO some of them
Austria-Hungary ioyfully could give
her approval. But She must first lay
down this principle-that in so far as
!. these propositions concern her allies,
whether in the case of Germany's pos
session of Belgium or in the case of
Turkey Hungary, faithful to
her engagements to fight to the end in
defence of her allies. Will defend the
possessions of her allies as she would
her o#n. That is the standpoint of
our allies, in regard to which there is
perfect reciprocity"
The correct text Of this section of
Count Czernin's speech as printed in
he Vienna newspapers. follows:
so far as these propositions con-
Germ her allies. whether in the case Of
German possessions. Belgium or Tur-
key Austria Hungary, faithful to her
engagements Will so to the extreme in
defence of her allies. She will defend
the pre-war possessions Of her allies
as she would her own
BY removing the comma between
German possessions" and "Belgium' =
and by dropping the important adjec-
tive "pre-war" Count Czernin was made
to say that ne would defend Germany's
possession of Belgium. This is the
very thing he emphatically disclaimed
lie definitely dissociated Belgium from
German possessions and declared that
Austria would defend only the prc-wal
possessions OF her allies.
II is this declaration, obviously op-
posed TO The German miltarist pro
sramme and to Bulgara's avowed war
aims programme, which is causing such
a stir IN Berlin and Sofia.

$24,o0o,00o Daily
For War Purposes
Of This Amount $4,121,,
100000 Paid as Loans
to Allies

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-Tcn months
of the war have cost the United States
about S7,1OO,O0O OO0-at the rate cf
$4,000. 600 month, nearly $24,0O0,OCC
day.
More than half of this huge sum, @.
SA,l21 100000. has been paid as loans
to the Allies, and the balance, abou.
$4,000, 900 900, represents Americas out
lay for its own war purposes, exclusive
of more than 5000, 100000 for ordinary
governmental expenses.
The wars toll in money is increas-
ing at the rate Of more than 100000 ,ocO
a month, and indie ions now arc tina,
the two remaining months of the ne
tion's first year as belligerent will
run its war bill to nearly $40 900, ,OOO, 600
of which o00.oo0,OOO will be for
Allied loans and about the same amoun.
for the army, navy. Shipping Board
and other war agencies.
These figures. compiled to-day from
the latest available Treasury figures
show that although the country's ex-
pendltures arc running into totals
never before dreamed of, they arc be
low official estimates made early in the
war Since war was declared, April s.
and the fiscal year for which estimates
were made did not begin until July
II is difficult to compare precisely the
actual war cost with the fiscal year
estimates.
Outlay Increasing
Most Of the war expenses have bee.
incurred since July l, however, and the
total outlay since then has been So
SOC 100000, in a little more than seven
months, as compared with estimates OF
Sls,l31 ,0O0.0 900 for the entire year.
Two factors are held mainly re-
sponsible for this difference. Officials
of the War, Navy and other depart
ments figured literally on their cx-
pcndtures originally, to allow a mar
GIN of financial safety. In addition
production of ships and war supplies
has failed to develop as rapidly as
had been planned. Officials point our
also as big contracts for ships and
army materials fall due in the nexl

faster than is anticipated even now.

ENTIRELY JUSTIFIED

The Springfield. Mass. Republican.
usually a keen cutter Of opinion. has
allowed It's personal distaste for one
Of the great Republican leaders to bias
It's judgment when it crlticizes him
for utterances on the ground that his
party "in the last Presidential cleo
ton did not have 4 war platform"
This allegation IS true: but 1t Is equal
~ true that the Republican platform
Of 1915 was vigorously outspoken in
its condemnation Of the foreign policy
OF the administration and in Its de-
mand for adequate preparedness. The
Republican party was not for war. it
was for the avoidance OF war by
proper means.
Republicans In the last campaign
freely declared that the Presidents
policy OF non-action In preparedness
and accepting as great diplomacy
triumphs" all Of the successive rebuffs
which our futile diplomacy produced
meant inevitable war-and behold that
prophecy came true within six weeks
OF Mr.. Wilson's second inauguration.
All that Is now Is justifed-not only
by what was urged long ago. but by
what the Republican party stood for
IN the last election.
