London.-Another week has passed
and the Germans have not begun their
expected new offensive against the al
lied forces In Flanders and Picardy.
And, as yet, there Is nowhere any in
dicatlon that 1t is their early intention.
1t is not improbable, however, that
the blow will be launched at any mo-
ment Avlators In reconnaissance be-
hind the German lines stil report
continuation of bringing up fresh
troops, guns and stores for what Is be-
lieved everywhere will be their great.
est attempt to win decisive victory.
Americans Encourage Allies.
Meanwhile the allies are not idle.
Every hour is being utilized 10
strengthen strategic positions and
every hour finds them the better pre-
pared TO withstand an enemy on
slaught.
In the work OF strengthening the /
battle front the Americans are playing
no secondary role. The steady stream /
Of the khakl-clad lads from overseas 10
the lighting line has served greatly TO
reassure the British and French con-
tingents that have heretofore 50 vail
antly held their own against tremen-
dous odds. Those Of the Americans
already In the trenches have given and
are stu giving a good account OF them
selves, harasslng the Germans with
