HUN OFFENSIVE
 THE BEGINNING
 OF LAST STAND

ON TIE BELGIAN FRONT, Mar. l9. - General A. de Ceuninck, the dis tinguished soldier and Minister of War for Belgium, today expressed to the correspondent of the Associated Press the firm conviction that a great offensive by the Germans on the West ern Ftont would be the beginning Of the end for the PlusSian military ma chine. This Is true said the general because even if the enemy should put his entire strength into an assault it was doomed to certain failure ia view of Allied preparedness. Having de feated the Germans in their onslaught the Allies would be in position, through the balance of power which America had brought them, to counter with irresistible force.
 The Minister had been asked to dis cuSs the military situation as it ap- pearcd m the light of Gelmany's pres ,nt position. and the Prussians claim that the Entente allies would be brought to their knees. The General received the correspondent in the cha teau which is beirg used as executive headquarters for the War Department and talked freely for half an hour or more. General de Ceuninck Is u vet cran of many battles and he had brought with him to the ministry the comprehensive grasp of large prob lcns, the quick decision and the dis cipline which have made his rcputa- tion m the Belgian army. One reads assurance and alertness in his every word and move.
 At the outset of the conversation the General spoke of the close friend ship existing between Belgium and the United States, and referred in the most grateful terms to the assistance which America has rendered her ally through the Req Cross, the Commits sion for Relief in Belgium and in oth- CT ways.

SYSTEM
 IS PREVENTING
 REAL SUFFERING

LOS ANGELES, March 19. - Suf- fering in homes, due 70 the induction of ,,en in the families into the m,!i- tGry Sc ice, has been prevented, in many instances, by a check system handled through the public schools, according to a report on war work in tn, schools just issued here.
 The report states that in order to get Est of homes where suffering or hardship might have followed the draft, teachers were asked to learn from the pupils in eacl, room whether any members of their families had toned ,nc service. If they had rela- tives in the service, the teacher filled out inGle card, adding checks which indicated whether, from he acqLain- 'ance with the pupil and his circum- stances, any possibility oC hardship exist d.
 The cards that indicated such pos sibility were turned over to the re lief div. on of the Red Cross, and tEe cases investigated, many families be- ing thus saved from re Il hardship and suffer.t%.
 The Ian, it was said ny the report, had the dvantage tha5 the pupils did not know Cf its operation, and as the queries were made quietly, no one was wounued by any suspicion of misplac- ed charity, while others who needed help were found. X crE;plcte survey of "c city was made, it wa' lCported, without any expense and within a few days of it's initiation.

Belgians has been sustained and ill- creased by the knowledge that the citizens of the United States were standing with them in the battle fol freedom and justice. You have light aned our load and enabled us to con linue the struggle" said the general. He paused, and then added with great feeling:
 "I assure you that the first thing Belgium will do after the conclusion of peace will be to erect monument to her good friend"
 The General turned to the outlook for Allied arms on the battlefield.
 I've do not underrate the strength of our opponents" he said. Germany IS a military nation, d powerful na- ton, and she is not yet defeated. America, however, has brought into the conflict the additional resources necessary to tip the balance in OUT favor and an Allied victory is assured. The outcome of the war now hinges on the question of numbers, and the superiority rests with us.
 "lIermany will fail in any offensive which she may be preparing for on the western front. The Allies are ready for any move and will present an unbreakable line. If the enemy is going Co stake everything OH a big attack and is calling out every re source ne can command, he will have reached the beginning of the end when he fails to break through, ioi the counter strokes of the Allies can re- suit in only one thing-defeat for Ger many. It may take some time to put the finishing touches on the victory but this %ill be accomplished.
 "So lar as the Belgian Army is concerned it is prepared for evei,tual- ities. The morale of the troops and of the civilian population never has been higher than it is today. OuI sol- diers are eager to fight. At times we have had difficulty in restraining them until the proper moment for action, for they chafe under the restraint. But they must be content to await developments. They are only one wheel of the great Allied machine anG every part of that machine must work in cooperation to make it rdn smooth. ly. Whenever the call comes we shall be waiting to respond with every atom of strength which We have.
 "The entrance of America into the war has done much to cheer our troops. The fact that the United Stat ns is with us, both as friend and as a fighting Ally, means to the man in the trenches that he is net making a vain sacrifice. He is sure of victory and is more eager than ever to carry the battle to the enemy camp. Our confidence in the outcome of the war mas been strengthened greatly by the husiness-like way in which the United States Government has undertaken it's task. 1 recently saw some de tachments of American soldiers who have come to fight with us. They were fine, clean-cut :nen-athletic, in- telligent, and intensely energetic. It

DRYS LOSE FIGHT
IN CHICAGO; ISSUE
KEPT OFF BALLOT

Chicago, March 19.-The election
board today ruled that the petition
of. the Chicago dry federation sub
mitting the question of making the
city anti-saloon territory to the
voters at the election of April ?,
was invalid because it did not con-
tain the required number of legal
signatures.
The election board decided that
the dry petition he's 1915 less legal
signatures than the number re
quired by law to put the question
on the ballot The decision upholds
the charges of fraud made against
the petition by the vets. The drys
threaten court action to compel the
board to put the question on the
ballot The board checked every
name on the huge petition before
announcing its decision. The grand
jury recently indicted eight per
sons on charges of perjury and for
gerry in connection with an investi-
cation made of the dry petition.
