war too heavy for them, and
that the newly constructed stats
would not be able to conform
themselves to it and to meet its
problems. Tic such a war of
movement could be restored,
therefore, the Germans believe
that it would result in disaster
to the Allies through a crum-
ping up of the British sector.
Better Chance on
Southern Wing.
They would have a better
chance to break through the
lines and establish a war of
movement on the southern end
of that sector-that is in the
areas around st. Quentin and
Cambrai-than in the northern
part, because at the southern
the soils are much drier; because
a rupture at this point would
Immediately threaten Paris; be-
cause though the German COM
munications are on the whole
better in the north, the COM
parison is to their advantage to
the south, where the British
communications are longer and
therefore more difficult than
they are at the north.
All this is, of course, pure
conjecture, but it is conjecture
based upon the only elements of
calculation which are available.
Allies Winning
Air Supremacy. ..,
Meanwhile a very great deal
would depend upon the com
parative. strength of the OPP
posing forces in the air during
the fighting season which is now
about to open. So far as devel-
opments> have yet taken place
the superiority is clearly upon
the Allied side in this respect,
and would seem to be- increas-
ing.
Z There has been a continuous
and a more and more intensive
bombardment from the air of
the German western traffic and
munitions centers during the
last two months. Treves, an ex-
ceedingly important depot and
passage for communications, has
been heavily bombed six times
IN five weeks; the vital junction
just outside of Thionville in
Lorraine, has suffered in much
the same fashion; and altogeth-
er there have been in less than
seven weeks sole 80 heavy bonn
bardments delivered from AL
lied alrplanes, upon special OBJ
jectiyes behind the German
front, especially upon munition
works and railway stations.
Nothing corresponding to this
has yet been attempted by the
enemy behind the Allied line. IF
the present indications may be
taken as a guide for the future
it would seem as if in this vital
matter of work in the air the
Allies were really establishing a
supremacy, but we do not know
whether the enemy may not be
merely holding back heavy for
ces of airplanes, or even some
new types of superior effective
ness, for use in special effort
in the air to coincide with the
opening of his attack on the
if this is made.

Likely to Strike
British Near Cambria.

In q former article I discussed
the various sectors upon which a
German attack might take place.
lit now appears that the proba-
bilities are that the offensive
will be launched, if it is launch
ed at all, against the British
front and toward the southern
end of that front, but it is al
most certain that it will be ac-
companied also by very strong
demonstrations made against
the French line at the same time.
The reason that the military
people think this form Of attack
is probable is not that any spe-
eial concentration Of German
forces is as yet observable on
this sector. But the Germans
certainly believe that the Brit
ish would be especially handi-
capped if a war Of movement
could be restored against them.
They admit that the new Brit
ish armies have arrived with un-
expected yrapidity at a very high
state of eficiency-a thing which
the Germans long believed to be
impossible for troops raised
suddenly out Of purely civilian
material and for stats with no
long tradition behind them-but
nevertheless they believe that
this efficiency has been develop
ed only in connection with and
viii be valuable only for use in
siege war or a war of positions.
They argue that the British
have had no experience i'm d war
Of movement; that their Junior
officers would find the novel task

spite OF any assistance which

But the maximum way would
be far more satisfactory to the
Germans, because it would be
shorter and because it would be
infinitely more conclusive. 1t
consists in breaking up the west
ern line and restoring the war
of movement" which ended on
the west when the Germans were
pinned into their trenches from
Switzerland to the sea following
their retreat after the battle of
the Marine.
Nothing but Guesses
As to Their Plans.
No one can possibly tell wheth-
er the Germans intend or not to
make this attempt in the near
future. There have been plenty
Of guesses, but they have been
guesses only. German prisoners
taken by Allied forces in raids
in the last weeks have alluded in
a large way to the imminence of
such a stroke, and expert opin-
ion on the Allied side is, upon
the whole, that some such at
tempt will be made. But some
of the most acute observers of
the war are still of the opinion
that-in spite of, perhaps be-
cause of, the wide advertisement
that this coming offensive has
been given from the German side
lit is a bluff; that the Central
Empires will not ait this time
risk the very heavy losses which
such an experiment would en-
tail and the possible collapse of
their whole structure to which
such losses might lead. :
The real crux in the Judgment
of this question is between those
who think that the Germans
must make such an effort be-
cause of the moral and material
condition of their civilian popu-
lation, and those who think they
can afford to postpone it in spite
of the increasing strain upon
their peoples, and that they can
keep the population in order in
spite of any discomfort which
may develop during the strain
of waiting.
Meanwhile observation from
the air informs us that the Ger
mans are rehearsing their troops
IL formations for use in a "war
of movement" behind their
lines, that they are using large
bodies of men in this, probably
in coordination with their new
tanks, and certainly with an elab-
crate new organization prepar-
ed for use when and if change
can be made from the trench
warfare of the last three years.
