US. ARMY EXPERTS BELIEVE IEUT0N
 DRIVE CALLED OFF
Think Much Advertised Big Rush to Be Defensive
 Against Allies.

Washington, March 1S.-American military observers have reached the conclusion that Germany's constant massing of men on the western front is for defense, and that the long herald ed Teutonic offensive never will ma terialize unless it develops as a de- fensive measure against the growing pressure of the allied and American lines. This view, held for weeks by some officers, is expressed officially today in the war departments weekly review of operations at the battle fronts.
 Fresh German divisions are report ed arriving in the west, the review says, and the density of the enemy forces has nearly reached the point where congestion of lines of communi- i cation may interfere with flexibility of maneuver.
 The review records the first unas- isted American assault upon the Ger mans, the trench raid at dawn of March II, when the enemy was driven out and his position penetrated for a distance of nearly 300 yeards. The Americans now are in the trenches along the allied lines at five points, and are reported constantly active.
 Referring to Secretary Bakers ar rival in France, the review says he has had interviews with the principal French authorities, and is about to un- dertake careful inspection of Aimeri- can schools, training areas, rest camps and sectors at the front.

SUSPECT GERMAN AGENTS AT WORK
 AMONG NEGROES
Threats of Strike at Two Plants Prompts Mayor to
 Increase Police.

Threats of a strike of men employ ed at the Morgan Veneer company's plant. and the failure of several col ored laborers to appear for work at that plant and at the Standard Brake and Shoe company's foundry yester- day caused Mayor Bloom to take prompt measures to check any idle ness and consequent thievery.
 The men do not appear organized, and were without a leader. They are said to have made demands, but it was said they do not seem to know what they want" that all the dis gruntled could explain was Ithat "theyre dissatisfied" These circum- stances lead to the suspicion that German agents have been at work, en- deavoring to stir up trouble.
 Mayor Bloom promptly instructed Acting Chief of Police King to add four men to the force, authorizing the employment of J. H. Westbrook, James Reidinger. Sid King and Jim Hope all experienced men.
 "There's not going to be any idle ness and thievery here," said the mayor when there is such demand TOT laDOr-such need by the govern ment that these plants continue in operation. If they don't work there. they must work somewhere. or we'll work them on the streets"
 Using Women in Mills.
 The mayor reported his action at the council meeting last night and It was approved. The discussion brought out that the shOrtaoe of lab or has forced several of the indus trial plants to employ colored wom- en at the lighter tasks. The Arkan- sas Short Leaf Lumber company has seven at work; the Saline River Hardwood company has four, and the Standard Brake & Shoe company is employing several.
 It was believed last night that all plants would be operating, az usual today, with practically full. c"ews.

BRITISH IS MOST
 DEMOCRATIC ARMY

London, February 18-The British army is the most democratic of any of the great European armies, declar ed Lord Derby, Secretary of state fol War, in replying recently to criti cism of the difficulty of enlisted men rising to the higher positions under the war office.
 He went on to give illustrations "A cook has become most efficient staff officer. A regular battalion dur ing the Somme battle was commanded by a rigadier-general. A former private in the cavalry now commands a British infantry brigade and man who was mess sergeant at Mons is now colonel of an infantry battalion"
 These things go to prove, concluded Lord Derby, that there is no ring and that merit comes to the front The best illustration of the rise of a common soldier to a commanding DO sition is the former Chief of the Inn perial Staff, Sir William Robertson who began life as private of dra goon regiment.
