EXPECT HUNS TO BEGIN
VIGOROUS OFFENSIVE
Massing Of Forces on Western Front
Believed to BE First
Big Move.
AMERICAN FORCES NOT READY
Public Should Be Prepared for Some
Losses Of Ground and Men IL At
tempt Is Made, Says Military
Director.

LONDON, January 3.-Ths. probabii-
ity or Germany now taking a vigorous,
offensive attitude on the western front
was pointed out by Major7General
Maurice, chief director OF military op-
erations at the War Officc. IN his weekly
talk to the Associated Press to-day.
There were two factors that con-
tributed TO this probability. the gen
eral said the FIRST being the steady
flow OF German re-enforccments from
the eastern front: and the second. the
fact that the American forces were
not get ready TO take any considerable
part in the operations.
The public should be prepared for
some losses OF both ground and men
II the Germans attempt really deter
mincG offensive operations, he declared.
Tho enemy in the past fortnight
has hcen attempting numerous raids.
mostly on small scale" began Cen
eral Maurice. AT cambrai. however.
he tried a larger operation with the
on the British flank, whencs he hoped
he could stranElo the supplies to
British salient and force its with
drawal. His attack ended in IN
almost complete failure. for although
front trenches. he failed to set foot
on the ridge anywhere.
These attempts to take the often
sivc," continued the general "ar~ a
sign OF Il new distribution OF the bel
lgerent forces on the western front.
The enemy is steadily bringing troops
from RUSSIA with tho aim of re-estab-
fishing his superiority over the Anglo.
French forces.
GERMANS LONG WAY FROM
HAVING SUPERIOR NUMBER
Tho Germans arc still a long way
from having superior numbers on this
front but the relative strength Of the
forces is already 50 altered that it is
doubtful whether the allied command
rrs would feel justified in undertak-
ing offensive operations on large
scale. The cnemy's constantly impsov-
ing numerical position will. on the
other hand, lead inevitably to often
siVc operations by the Germans. but |
see no reason to believe that he will
be able to inf1ict anything like sccn
losses on US as we inflicted on him
during tho past year.
Owing to our work Of the past year.
We are in an excellent defensive po-
sition. holding practically all the high
gronnd. On the other hand, We arc
everywhere on new ground where we
must prepare new defensive systems.
We must be prepared to lose ground
and men IL the enemy makes de-
tcrmiEcd attack with the usual arti!-
lcry prepa ration followed by energetic
infantry assaults, for our own expert
encc has taught us that it is rracti-
caiiy always possible TO move a GER
tain distance under these conditions
Of attack"
Regarding the eituation in Palestine.
General Maurice said:
a word OF caution IS necessary rel
ativo to the hores Of an Immediate
further advance in Pale-tne. The hills
OF Judea ave notoriouaiy difficult, tho
weather Is unfavorablc and the roads
impossible. owing to the wet season.
Tho transport problem is likely TO pre-
vent any considerable movement for
some time"

Worlds Most Wonderful Jersey Cow.

Having recently completed her seventh
official record under Register Of Merit
rules, Sophie 19th Of Hood Farm not
only establishes Q record for the Jersey
breed, but for oil breeds when cumula-
tive production 10 taken into considera-
ton. There 10 no COW Of apy breed,
living at the present. time, which bids
fair to eclipse Sophie's record for sew.
ersl years to come. 1s will be noticed
that Sophie's seven years. production
exemplifles the outstanding character
ntics of the Jersey breed-sarly maturi-
", persistency, and longevity.
In her thirteenth year she has made
Is. .94S lbs. of milk containing BAT lbs.
fat, which, added TO her ak previous
records, gives her total production In
her seven lactations Of 9l,S69 lbs. OF
milk, or over forty-6ve tons, and 6,2SO
lbs. fat, or more than three-and-a quarter
tons butter. She became champion COW
Of the Jersey breed on completing her
fifth lactation, when she made 1857
lbs. milk containing 900. lbs. OF ist:
This record has never yet been equailed
by any other COW Of the breed.
One of the things that her records
fail to show is that Sophie 10 not only
q wonderful producer, but . most re-
markabls re-producer. Besides being
a cham piou herself, she has produced
champions. One Of her sons. Pogis

six officially tested daughters, whose
average production for one year 10 4so

of these, Sophie's Adora, who 10 four'

tat in one year. The second is SoPhie's
Bertha, three year-old champion, with
