"1fhe assault launched bS the Germans

the communique.
This operation confirms to us that
the German higher command, unable to
control the strategic situation through
political agencies as has been unceasing-
ly attempted during the past four
months, has been forced to engage in
desperate military venture in an effort
to retain its domination over the peoples
OF the central empires and if possible
force victorious peace by the fortune
of arms
While the Germans have been able
to make headway, no definite enveIoping
movement is as yet outlined It would |
