The Germans had talked so freely
about their great offensive that
many people thought they were
making feint to conceal some oth-
er policy: some looked fo@ a cam
paign against SaionIki instead OF

been circulated that the Germans
have built large number Of tanks
and super.tanks. but the British. who
first launched This weapon, are not
likely to be stopped by these, nor IS
