Berlin Plans New
Peace Offensive
Intrigue Is Sure to Fail, Says
Paris Journal--Expects
Attack.

PARIS, June II (Havas Agency)
Berlin has not abandoned hope of
obtaining "a good" German peace
soon. The press is following with
curiosity and interest the prepara-
tions of peace offensive which seems
to be clearly outlined and about to
pass from the newspaper domain into
official circles. The Petit journal,
voicing the unanimous opinion of its
colleages, declares that German in
trigue will fail before the unshakable
will of the allies. The only possible
peace for them-is peace for them is
a peace Of justice and civilization, it
says.
The lull along the front of the Ger
man offensive is considered merely
period of preparation for new at
tacks.. The six days of terrible fight
ing east Of Montdidier realized med
iocre gain and the Petit Parisien says
that the German check gives a good
reason for confidence, as the allied
armies are increasing continuously. 1t
is pointed out that the army Of the
German crown prince Rupercht of
Bavaria, whose reserves are far from
being equa Ito those under his COM
mand on March 81, will probably re-
sumo action on his portion Of the
front.
