. Washington, March 27-It is be-

last and desperate gamble in the
great western military offensive, on
account of the very bad economic sit

system of that country is in a sadly
run down and demoralized condition.
There is great shortage of coal,
cotton, fats, oils and other raw ma

to draw from her eastern resources
for such things.
American Front Quiet.
