BRITISH WAR MACHINE
IS IN. PERFECT SHAPE

British Army Headquarters in
France, Mar. ss.l--It is too early to
predict he outcome Of the first few
hours Of the struggle, in which vast
forces and every conceivable engine
probably was employed. On general
principles. however. II may be stated
that the great concentration of at
,tacking forces will probably result in
the Nefensise line being pushed back
in places. This would merely be
history repeating itself.
This much is certain: At no period
has the British war machine been in
such perfect condition. Never before
has there been higher morale or op-
timisrn among the British troops.
The general impression on the front
Is in agreement with that of the
Germaus--that this is the decisive
contest OF the war. But on the Brit
ish side there IL no doubt that the
decision will eventually be in the
allies favor.
