TROUBLE HOLDS
GERMAN ATTACK
Conviction Grows Other
Obstacles Than Military
Delay The Huns
CRv Associated Press,)

Washington, July 13.-The convic~
ton that the German high command
has encountered serious obstacles in
pressing the offensive on the west
ern front is gaining ground in the
minds Of officials here. They cam
not believe that renewal Of the at
tack would be deferred voluntarily
when it is obvious that every days
additional delay works against the
ultimate success Of the whole pur-
pose Of forcing a military decision
this year, to which the Germans are
committed.
Secretary Baker today made it
clear that the time that has elapsed
since the last German effort and the
failure Of the enemy to react, were
accepted as conclusive evidence tEat
the German offensive was being held
in check by some consideration other
than the purely practical one Of pre-
pairing the storm troops.
Meanwhile, the steady pressure Of
local operations by the allies along
the entire battle area from Epres to
Rheims continues. Not a day has
passed now for a week in which some
territory has not been wrested from
the enemy and it is reported that
nearly 5000 prisoners have been
taken. The similarity OF the tactics
employed by both the French and
British armies is taken here to indi-
cate that the "nibbling" process is
part Of a definite plan being carried
out by General F'och, supreme com
mander, probably to harass the
enemy in his preparations and feel
out the German lines to locate the
points from which he plans to strike.

that the game as played by the Amer

with a good deal of noise. Il don't
