"Convict battalions are being

Germans to Find
Allies Stronger
Along Whole Line
(By The Associated Preas,

ON THE FRENCH FRONT IN
FRANCE, May 23.-Uncertainty still
exists as to when the Germans will re-
new their offensive and where their
blows will fall, but whenever the inter
rupted battle is reopened the enemy
Will find various Instantaneous
changes in the situation as compared d
with the first stage of the struggle that
he began on March 21.
For one thing, the German soldiers
car hardly possess degree of conf
dence equal to that which inspire d
them at the opening of this years area
drive. now thai they have seen the
promises made them of decisive fight
which was to bring a rapid peace fail
of fulfilment.
Surprise Now Impossible
Many of their best troops have bee,
destroyed without the armies attaining
their obiectivcs. This has depressed 4
the spirits of the remainder, causing
them to wonder whether further sacri
fees may also be useless. A repetition
OF powerful surprise attack has been
rendered almost impossible, since the
complete unity of the French, British
and American troops enables the Allied
generalissimo to control the whole
front.
The Allies are certainly better nre-
pared than they were before and are
watchIul for whatever may be coming.
Thus, although the German masses NAV
be thrown against the Allied front in a
heavy, smashing blow at some point.
the Allied unity of command is counte d
upon to make possible an efficient inter
vention OF forces at a prop;tious mo-
ment to prevent any part Of the line
being overwhelmed
Losses of territory may be expected
IN the first rus!:, but that is to be
counted as unimportant while the
armies continue intact
Data is plentiful concerning the dem
sity of the German armies holding the
front line, but although at some places
me enemy forces are stronger than at
others, the locality where the real Of
1enslve will be launched is still left in
doubt. as the operation is likely to be
executed by other masses brought from
the rear, where they are concentrated.
These may be transported with great
rapldlty to any part of the front, either
IN FLANDERS or further south, the celer-
ity possible to the German TRANSPORT
being due to the enemy holding the in
terror lines.
Foch Is Ready
The commander in chief of the Allies
has taken all precautions. so that
wherever the blow falls the enemy will
md the French. British, Americans and
belglans before him ready.
The opposing aerial squadrons are
extremely active, as is usual before a
great battle, but very small number
of German Aiers have been able to come
over the Allied lines. owing to- the su.
periority of the Allied armen and air
craft, which is more marked daily. Not
a moments rest is allowed German de-
pots and concentration centres, where
there is a constant harrying, causing
evident discomfort to the troops in ad-
ditlon to great material damage.

Crush British; Win
Channel; axe Paris,
LudendorH's Plan
By Arthur S. Draper
Especial Cable to The Tyibuue)


LONDON, May 23.--Ludendorff has
massed a gigantic weight of men and
material by which he hopes to break
through the Allied line at several
points on the West front. His strategy
calls for: First, the crushing of the
BRITISH army and the weakening of
foch's reserves; second, the capture of
the Channel ports and the destruction
OF British communications between
northern France and England, and
third. the capture of Paris
Naturally he has lot Of secondary
objects, such as the capture of Haze
brouck, Arras, Doullens and Amiens, all
OF which are of little military value
but represent definite things in the
minds Of the Germans as we'll as the
Allied peoples.
Those who are best qualified to Judge
believe that the new offensive will last
longer than the first, and that it will
not end until Ludendorff has exhauste
his forces or obtained all of his OBJ
Jectives. They believe that it will run
we'll into midsummer, and that at it's
conclusion Germany will be ready for
peace, and, failing to obtain it, she will
fall back on the defensive.
Ludendorff will either win great
victory or lose the initiative, perhaps
for all time if America fulfils all ex-
pectations., Statesmen and soldiers
have stated several times recently their
belief that the war will end this year.
The peace with Russia is far from
being as satisfactory to the jingo party
as it is to the Social Democrats. The
agile Herr Erzberger fits about to the
embarrassment of the stolid Imperial
Chancellor Hertling, and LudendorA
must give the Fatherand some sub.

And il is because they and the men

The makers of aircraft have plunged

They know what war is. They know

They have done what the country

few months or the German internal
situation is bound to prove trouble.
some before snow falls. Though the
Allied peoples view the future with
anxiety. it must be remembered that
the same anxiety exists in Germany.
When the German press was di-
rected to combat the effect of rumors
regarding losses and explain the
causes of delay in operations. when
half of the army believes that Hinden-
burg is dead, when the liberal poll
ticians join the Socialists in their pro-
tests against food rations, when lead
ing naval critics are skeptica over
the success of the submarine cam.
paign and when the inhabitants of the
Rhine valley live under constant fear
of aerial attacks, the German mill
tarist must win something more than
a tacital success.
