PREDICT new DRIVE
W|THO[DSTRATEGY
Army Officers Here Expect
Blow at Amiens and
Channel Ports.
ITALY MAY STRIKE FIRST

The length Of time the Germans are
taking in preparation for their renewed
drive confirms the opinion OF Army off,
GERS here that the kaiser is preparing
to throw the full force OF his military
machine and all the achievements he
can collect into the next great often
sive.
1t is generally believed that the
strategy Of the second drive will be
like that of the first, with the main
force directed toward Amiens and tbs
secondary attack projected toward the
channel ports.
Confirmation Of reports that one OF
the agreements reached when the
kaiser met the Austrian emperor on
Saturday regarding tho Austrian drive
into Italy have been received in cable
dispatches from Rome. That agreement
was that Austria was to be supported
IN her offensive by Bulgars and Turks.
missioned officers were to be literally
supplied to the Austrians. But 1t was
made clear that Germany could not at
this time spare troops to help Austria
Rome Reports Officers Presence.
The reports from Rome tell of the
officers on the Italian front.
There is no indication Of when the
Austrian drive will begin. Some mill
tary men think it will be carried on
simultaneously with the forthcoming
German action on the western front.
The Germans are believed to be count
ing on the effect Of tho drive on Italy
at q time when Great Britain and
France will be engaged.
But the Italians are more extremely
of NJ hAfR tA ~
the offensive. This attitude 10 in con-
trast to that OF last fall. when they
were confident Of the fighting power
of their army, but protested that they
necessary to sustain the force OF the
German impact
Not only are the Italians now con-
hdent because this lack Of munitions
and supplies has been eliminated. and
because their morale has been tremen.
dously improved. but because there 10
almost daily evidence that Gen. Foch 10
reckoning the Italian front ~ only an
extension Of the western front, and -
bssing his calculations on . unified
allied force extending from the chans
mel ports to the Adriatic sea,
Paris Reports Confirm.
As an indication of this cognixanoe By
Gen. Foch OF tho italian situation Are
the reports which now come from Paris
regarding the impending Austrian of
fensive.
It il believed by military observers
here that Italy may not wait for the
Austrians to take the offensive. It has
been considered that the logical meth.
Cd, in view Of the relative positions OF
the opposing forces, would be to permit
the Austrians to attack and then re-
capture lost italian strongholds by .
counter attack when the Austrian hold
on tho mountain positions had been
weakened. Weather conditions which
are uncertain at this time OF the year
In northern Italy will play an impor.
tant part in any operations But the
view here among some officers 10 that.
equipped as she IL. facing only the
Austrian troops Italy may not wait for
an Austrian offensive and may take the
offensive herself.

Bishop Harding Sees Evidence
of the Necessity for Sunday
Law In District.
HIS DIOCESAN ADDRESS

"One Of the serious signs OF the
times Is the growing disregard for the
Lords day in Washington" said Rt
Rev. Alfred Harding. Bishop Of WASH
ington. in his annual address at the
tant Episcopal Church Of tho diocese
of Washington this morning at the
Church of the Good Shepherd. sth and
I streets northeast.
Bishop Harding said the opening of
the theaters Sunday nights since mid
winter, coupled with the all-day-every-
day motion picture theaters. and the
increase of work on buildings. rail.
roads. etc., are among the evidences of
the necessity Of a Sunday law for tho
District of Columbia
I'VE do not want Puritan Sunday"
he continued, but 1t is evident that for
the sake Of labor and for the quiet and
order that should mark day whose
chief sanction Is religious there should
be some reasonable restrictions"
Matter Referred to President.
He said, as member Of committee
of the Lords Day Alliance. the matter
was presented to President Wilson, who
was sympathetic in his attitude, and
asked that a bill embodyins the wishes
Of the committee be submitted to him
for his consideration. The bishop said
as far as he knows no action has as yet
been taken.
In opening his address Bishop Harding
spoke Of prominent church workers who
have died during tho past year, among
q former missionary in India; Rev. John
William Chesley. James B. Nourse, Har-
~ Vaughn, architect Of the cathedral;
Mrs. Archibald Douglas Russell and Ri.
Rev. DR.. Alfred Mag1l Randolph, Bishop
of Southern Virginia
"New Conditions in Washington."
In speaking Of the new conditions in
Washington. Bishop Harding said. Our
formerly serene and quiet Washington
has become city overrun with a vast
influx Of people. some on business with
the government. but the large number
workers for the government. New con-
dittons confront us, which demand new
methods and new agencies to meet
them"
The bishop called upon tho rectors
to organize in every church an active
representative committee, which would
stimulate all activities on behalf of
United States soldiers and sailors, but,
Ing strangers into social fellowship
with the people of the church.
He told of the work of tho church
war commission, which has its central
office in New York, Of which the Bishop
of Massachusetts Is chairman. Speak
ing OF the church's moral work, he said,
1T is Of fundamental Importance that
every phase Of it should be fully and
generously maintained. Our parishes
should be kept in vigorous condition.
a A.
church's helps to spiritual growth, to
noble living. to the maintenance of high
ideals. To do our full duty in this re-
gard in addition to the other imperious
claims on our resources and the in
creased cost of everything essential to
living will demand rigid self denial and
unstinting sacrifices, but this is tho
call Of God to us today"
