operation with the object of getting
control Of a ridge on the British flank.
whence he hoped he could strangle the
supplies to a British salient and force
its withdrawal. His attack, however.
ended in an almost complete failurde.
for although he gained few hundred
yards of our front trenches he failed to
set foot on the ridge anywhere.
New Distribution of Forces.
these attempts to take the often
sive," continued the general, 'are a sign
of new distribution OF the belligerent
forces on the western front. The enemy
is steadily bringing troops from Russia
with the aim of re-estab1ishing his SUI
periority over the Anglo-French forces
The Germans do not possess a magic
carpet and cannot transfer troops at a
supernatural rate, especially under win
ter transport conditions. Nevertheless
there is a steady flow of German troops
westward.
The Germans are still long way
from having superior numbers on this
front. Dat the relative strength of the
forces is already SO altered that it is
doubtful whether the allied COM
manders would feel justified in under
taking offensive operations on a large
scale. The enemy's constantly improv-
ing numerical position will on the
other hand. lead inevitably to often
sive operations by the Germans, but !
see no reason to believe that he will be
able to infiict anything like such losses
on US as we inflicted on him during
the past year.

Maj. Gen. Maurice Expects
Vigorous German Offensive
Effort on Front.
STILL MAssINe TROOPS

By the Associated Press.
LONDON. January 3.-The probability
OF Germany now taking a vigorous Of
fensive attitude on the western front
was pointed out by Maj. Gen. F. B.
Maurice. chief director OF military oper-
atoms at the war Office. in his weekly
talk to the Associated Press.
There were two factors that contrib
uted to this probability. the general
said. tho first being the steady flow of
German reinforcements from tho east
ern front and the second the fact that
the American forces were not yet ready
to take any considerable part in the
operations

his jaws worked ceaselessly on q Quid

ceived that the man was not 80 old

was scarcely past middle-life. It was

Naturalization Program
Is Moving Fast

War has speeded up tremendously
the department of labor;s naturaliza-
ton work, for within a few months
probably 1907 men, members OF
the nations military forces. have
been given the full rights Of citizen
ship, and there are 10Y in France
perhaps as many more to be natur-
allied there.
This mighty task. unique in the his
tory of the bureau of naturalization,
has been productive Of many inspir-
ing instances Of patriotism on the
part Of men who, though Of alien
birth, have shown passionate devo-
ton to Americas ideals.
To illustrate the wholesale manner
in which naturalization is carried on,
at Camp Hancock in one week 1000
Jackson, 2.200; at Camp Sheridan,
500 in one day. These are instances
typical Of what is going on all tho
time in every camp in the country.
At Camp Lee about 1900 men, all
told, have been y~haturalized through
the war process, and additions of
about 1000 monthly are expected
while the draft calls continue at their
present rate.
The law was not adopted in time
to reach them all. for the arrange
ment providing for the naturalization
Of men in the military service was
not enacted until May 8. By that
time from 100000 to 700, 900 men
had gone overseas with the Ameri-
can expeditionary forces. It is i'm
possible to, estimate the number who
will be ~naturalized in France, but it
is true that in the regular army dur
ing the period of voluntary enlist
ments many foreigners were received.
The naturalization process went
Of the law, and small groups of men
were naturalized at Savannah, Ga,
as early as May 16. BY May 20, how
ever, when it was put into general
effect, many of the camps had been
practically cleared and the men who
had been trained in them were al
ready serving in France.
Preparations are now under way
