GERMANY'S LAST
MAJOR DRIVE IS
NOW UNDER WAY
Allied Superiority, Both in.Men
and Material Will Be Felt in
FaII-Eneny on Defensive
Then

WASHINGTON, July 15.-Germany' s
fifth drive today was viewed by many
military men as probably Germany's
last major offensive action.
Its location indicated that Germany
has elected to try for Paris anew or TO
strike so heavily as to draw strength
from the north.
Their apparent intention appeared to
be the former. If, however, the Ger
man is seeking to divert strength from
farther north, then he eventually hopes
TO strike the channel ports.
Military men agree that difficult days
are again ahead.
But, they say. the French and Ameri-
cans are in better shape to withstand
the blow than were the allies when the
first great driYe started March q.
This operation. they predict, will be
halted. Some ground viii be given, but
none believes the German will succeed
in a strategical victory.
If he fails as expected, it is probable
he cannot undertake another major OPP
Grafton this year.
stantIy and rapidly growing, the man
power balance will swing against him.
That means he will be on the defensive
and that in time he will be defeated.
Last Big Effort
Germany's offensive will be her last
major drive, in the opinion of many mil
itary men here today.
While they are far from thinking that
it will close the war or bring the vic
tory Germany has planned. they do
think that thereafter Germany will be
on the defensive.
American manhood is the chief
answer.
Early in the fall the United States
troop shipments will have reached the
point where the slight superiority Ger
many had March q will not only have
been wiped out but the allies will act
ually be preponderant. What is true
of man power will also be true of ma
terial.
Today's far-reaching bombardment Of
the Americans on the Marine is quite
conceivably the forerunner of the big

New JugO-SIav RevoItS
In Austrian Army Reported

WASHINGTON, July 15.-New out
breaks among JugO-Slav troops in the
Austrian armies, supposedly inspired by
the AustrO-German reverses in Albania
are reported through Swiss sources, in
cables to the Italian embassy today.
Details of the uprising were not given
but the reports stated that 10 Jugo-
Slav soldiers were executed as mutineers
on single day.
The Italian view is that the Jugo-Slav
welcome the allied redemption of Alba
MIA and Montenegro and that the ad-
vance of the Italians and their allies
on the Albanian front has served as an
encouragement to the dissatisfied Slavs.
1t is declared that the Jugo-Slav will
gladly welcome the allied troops, if they
are able to hurl the Austrians from the
Balkans and penetrate Austria-Hungary
