GERMAN OFFENSIVE
EXPECTED SOON
Gen. Maurice Says Public Should
Be Prepared for Some
Losses.

London. Jan. 2.-The probability of
Germans now taking vigorous offen-
sive attitude on the western front was
pointed out by Major-General F. Il.
Maurice, chief director of military op-
erations, at the war office. in his week
ly talk to the Associated Press to-day.
There were two factors that contrib
uted to this probability General Maurice
said, the first being the steady flow of
German reinforcements from the east
ern front and the second the fact that
the American forces were not yet ready
to take any considerable part in the op-
, erations.
The public should pe prepared, Cen
eral Maurice said, for some losses of
both ground and men IL the Germans
attack in really determined offensive
operations. They would not, howveer,
be able to inflict any such losses on the
allies as the latter had inflicted on the
Germans during the past year. he de-
clared.
Apparently as proof that the Germans
are preparing for big offensive is the
, almost continuous bombardment of vari-
Gus sectors along the British and French
fronts. Aside from these bombardments
there has been little activity except by
small rading parties. A heavy snow is
falling and another cold wave has set
in on the French front from st. Quentin
| to the Nosges mountains.
| Snow and cold weather also are giving
I the Italians a chance further to strength
| en- their northern line against the Aus
| tro-Germans. Aside from reciprocal artil-
| lery duels little fighting Of moment Is
| in progress. In an endeavor to offset
their loss of ground resulting from having
| been driven back across the lower Piave
| river the enemy has tried to effect a
| landing on the west bank Of the stream
| a short distance from the mouth of the

the project had to be given up

Treviso and Bassano have again beer
attacked, and bombs also were dropped
! on Mestre. Little damage was done by
| the bombs. Three of the enemy aircraft
were shot down in aerial battles or by
anti-aircraft guns.
Reports from Russia indicate that the
negotiations for peace between the Boil
shevik government and the Teutonic allies
have reached virtual impasse owing

Particularly dstasteful to the Russian:
is the attitude of the central powers with
regard to- holding Poland, Lithuania ant

MILK PRODUCERS

81 Cents a Quart F. O. B., BOs.
ton, Federal Commission
Decides.

Boston, Jan. 3.--The verdict of the fed
eral milk commission which has been in
session in Boston, was not given out until
after midnight this morning. They have
arranged that the producer shall receive
8 l-2 per quart. f. o. b. Boston, against tho
old price ,l-2 cents per quart. and the
consumer in Boston shall pay IA l-2 cents
per quart delivered at the house an in
crease of one-half "A cent over the present
price. This new schedule will go into eff
efct Sunday, January &, and will hold for
AT least three months
The commission further determines that
the producers may reasonably charge four
cents per 100 pounds of milk for each one
tenth of one per cent. of butter fat above
3.5 per cent. with corresponding deduction
for milk below 80 per cent.
"Pending investigation by the cpmmis-
sion. several matters have been tenn
porarily adjusted A further report will he

THE commission has reason to hope
from the evidence presented that mt the
end of a three months period a reduction
