1t is said information has been
received in Washington POSSIBLY by
the grapevine route) that when the
big spring offensive begins upon the
western battlefront in Europe the
Germans viii concentrate their attack
on that sector defended by American
troops. The reason for this, it is ex-
planned, is that If the Germans can
make success and crush the Ameri-
can army ii will be very dishearten-
ing 10 the allies, cause trouble be-
tween the Americans on one side and
the French and British on the other
and also have a moral effect in Amer
lea adverse to continuing the war.
While this story may have had some
foundation and may have been a part
of the German plan, military experts
point out that even if the Germans
should make a success of the plan.
they would establish themselves in IA
wedge and be subject to the severe
bOmbardment of the allies on both
sides of the wedge. Congressman
TiIson Of Connecticut, who is regard
ed as the best informed man in con
greSs on military affairs. says that the
Germans would make "a greater mis-
take 10y pushing wedge into the al
lied lines than did the British at Cam
brai. He does not think 1t possible
for either the Germans or the allies
to break through the different lines
and maintain wedge-shaped terrains
without great loss; first, because OF
the severe bombardment to which the
advanced position would be exposed
on all sides; second, because of the
difficulty In bringing up supplies over
territory lhat had been torn up so
badly rs all territory is near the front
lines.

Work Better in Uniform.

According To Miss Mabel BOardman,
who for long was the active head of
the national Red Cross. and who now
takes an important part in marShaling
the uniformed women Of Washington
who belong 10 that organization when
there is anything going on. women
work better In uniforms and under
officers with military titles than they
do in their ordinary garb and under
officers with civilian titles.
Perhaps this is due to the fact that
so many women see so many men In
uniform mt the present time. Men in
uniform are conspicuous ley their mum
Der, particularly on the streets of east
ern cities and at any point near the
big camps. Women also like to get
into uniforms and they probably share
