C. A. Bartlett. who has a small pie

He misunderstood the regulations of

substitutes could be used. He couldn't

an inferior article he would go out of
business. All he asked was that he be
permitted to continue in business until
he could sell his two horses.

willing to do whatever the government
says to help out"
He has been assured that he need not
go out Of business. that he is privileged
to use 20 per cent Of wheat flour in his

things in Mr.. Hoover's letter calculated

Cablexram to The Sunday Star and
New York Tribune.
LONDON, February 2s.-Two years
ago Germany's last effort-the Verdun
-ofYensive-was we'll under way. All
Europe watched the gigantic struggle
with high hopes and mixed emotions.
France held and saved Paris, and then
came Haig's drive on the Somme. which
again put the enemy on the defensive.
Here he remained to this day. With
greatly augmented forces at his dis
~posal because Of the disappearance of
-his eastern menace, attention has been
-riveted to the west, and practically
sthe only difference OF opinion Is the
question as to just which sector Ger
many will try FIRST
Defensive Not Expected.
But there are a few military students
who believe the enemy will continue on
<the defensive in the west, except SO
far as an offensive move might
strengthen his defensive position They
reason that the central powers have
abandoned their hope of territorial ac-
QUESTIONS or huge indemnities in the
west; that their only expectations of
realizing profits from the war are
grounded on the belief they can seize
and reorganize Russia; that an un-
successful offensive in the west would
sbe followed by a reaction on the part
of the German people, while defen-
.sive policy would permit the German
hmilitarists to continue to cry the CEN
trail powers are fighting against ag-
4gression and invasion.
In further support of this view is the
fact that Germany still has confidence
in the U-boats' ability to weaken the
allies: that Germany continues to un-
-derestimate the military power of
America. and that Germany's hopes Of
obtaining large quantities of food and
minerals from the Ukraine have been
raised high.
A military writer in the Westminster
Gazette puts it thus: The truth ap-
pears to be the enemy has come to re-
gard his western chances in an offensive
as problematical, to say the least. But
he just as certainly regards his
chances on the defensive as thoroughly
good"
