Great BATTLES ARE
COMING NEXT YEAR
That is Opinion of Military
Authorities at National
Capital

Washington, Aug, 17-''The great
battles of the allies,' will probably
be fought next summer. This was the
Interpretation placed by authorities to-
day on General March s statement be-
fore the senate military committee that
the 100000 men available under the
new draft will be in France by June
1919, and with 100000 Americans
then there, the allies can penetrate the
German lines at will.
Little expectation is held that the
war will end this year. A high official
in the government councils outlined the
stages by which the war would be end
ed as follows:
Maximum man power in Europe by
next summer.
+"Mammoth allied drive, as soon as
possible thereafter, surprising in size
and force anything previously attempt
ed, with the view of inflicting decisive
defeat on the German army.
Peace bid from Germany late in
1919, and sufficient guarantees from
her to make possible an afmstlce Sign
ing of the peace treaty in the winter of
1919 or early in 1920. 4"
To get the 100000 new draftees
which the program now calls for, Crowd
er plans to register l9,oOO,OOo men early
next month.
Draft officials Throughout the coun-
try are getting ready for this gigantic
task. Men will begin to leave for v.'"ps
almost as soon as they are classified.
Crowder said.
An appeal to congress to speed up ae.
tion on thc draft bill was being voiced
throughout the country today. As it be-
comes clearer that America is in the
fight to finish, the people are demand
ing that nothing shall delay military
officials in executing the mammoth pro-
gram under their charge.

ALLIES MAY STRIKE
central POWER ON
EASTERN FRONT soon
High Military Officials Believe
Plan Would be Good
Strategy.

Washington. Aug. l7.--Despite the
opinion Of high military officials here
that the war must be won entirely on
the western front, others, including
European military men and diplomats,
ARE still hopeful today that America
and the allies will attack the central
powers from other sides.
Announcement recently by Assist.
ant Secretary Of the Navy Roosevelt
that more American troops would be
sent to Italy, gave hope TO Siberian,
Greek and Italian representatives that
the United States would hammer at
Germany rear just as hard as along
the western front. Chief of Staff March
however. testified before the senate
military affairs committee that the
war must be won almost entirely on
the western front and intimated that
offensives in Russia, the Balkans and
Palestine were impractieable.
Opinion as to the wisdom of these
policies is strongly divided here as it
has been in England, France and even
Germany, whore Hindenburg is the
leading "eastemer.
General Mareh, supported by the
general staff, has announced that the
United States will adopt Napoleon s
strategy of striking the enemy hardest
at his strongest point. President Wilson
is believed to have been won over to
this view for the time being
Serbian and Italian representatives
here believed that Germany could be
more quickly and completely defeated
by blow in the Balkans, which would
.detach Bulgaria and Turkey from the
central powers.
Austria under heavy pressure would
soon crumble, it is believed, leaving
Germany with exposed flanks.
Constitution OF the eastern front in
Russia would also be part of this gen
eral plan, it is said,
Advocates of the eastern front STRAIT
egy say that to fight Germany alone
on the western front is to ignore the
political aspirations of Germany in the
east.
In this vast, undevelopod region with
its rich resources, Germany expects to
set her claws. She would be willing to
give up all the western allies ask along
the French frontier including Belgium

Washington, Arg. 17.-German in
tention to break with the bolsheviki
and throw an army into Russia to
combat the allied forces in the east
was seen by entente diplomats in vari-
Gus developments on the east front
reported here in official cables today.
| Withdrawal of German Ambassador
won Mumm from Kiev, is declared to
indicate that the Germans intend to
depend upon their military forces in
the Ukraine to carry out the elaborate
program of levies on the wheat crops
! of southern Russia.
| Next in Importance is the arrival in
Moscow of the Bulgarian and Turkish
ministers to Russia Feeling against
both Of these diplomats is said to have
been bad on account of Bulgarian and
/ Turkish violations of Russian territor'
ial integrity and reports were that sew
eral attempts on the lives of both men
were frustrated by the bolsheviki
/ The German ambassador to Russia
and his staff at Pskoff are reported
to be protected by heavy naval guards
from German warships at Riga, only
so miles away, and are reported prepar'
ed to flee to safety on the ships at the
least sign of an uprising.
The opinion here is that the Germans
realize that the bolshevilSi power has
waned and that the best course is to
prepare for re-establishment of the
eastern battle line as far within Rus
sian territory as is possible. Entente
military experts are disposed to believe
that the Germans, when the allies dem
onstrate that they can re-organize Rus
sia for the fight, will particularly pre-
pare to make a stand on line from
Riga southwark to Kharkov or tne
Dneiper river to the Black sea.
This line would be shorter than the
old German Russian battle front and it
would also protect Bulgaria from the
