CP ?? t Washington, .March IS. Oeruuiny'* threat of a great spring offenidve ?*?? t lu> western front no longer imprest* American military men. In It# weekly review today the War l)c|>ai tmout wconlM the conclusion that he enemy. In spite of hi* vast preparations, will not lake I he of fensive unless force*! t ??. TIiIm confirms the opinion many officer^ have w1 pressed for wrt'kit In the face of of< llelal forecasts to the contrary from both sides of (be Atlantic. "While hoHtlle pre pa I'u lions for an offensive In the west are not slacken ing." the review nays, "it In becoming more evident that the enemy will launch the offensive only If compiled to <1o so by the exigencies of the gem ernl strategic situation." ^ The nature of the Information upon which this opinion is based is not* dls I closed. It Is noted that fresh (iertnan 'divisions have arrived on the western front and the ticrinau lines are said to l>e approaching the point In density beyond which it would l>e imi>ossiblo to ko without choking communication lines and hampering free movement of revives. Apparently, however, this eoncentrat Ion *lu?s come to be regarded as a defensive, not an offensive move ment. Much of the statement Is devoted to the activities of American troops, now engaged on five separate fronts, one of the sectors lying close to the Swiss border. The official communi cation, however, adds nothing to re cently published press roj)orts of the raids and trench fighting in which the Americans huve Ikhmi Involved. Elsewhere on the western front the experts find no evidence of impending major acUf itles by either side. The IK'rlod of inactivity, the statement says, Is 1>elng prolonged. It notes, however. Indications of A ust rosier man concentrations on the Italian theater which may forecast assaults on Verona or 11 rosed a as their objeO tl ves. _j The statement follows: "The period of Inactivity in the west 1h being prolong]. Though the raids now taking place would in the past ?have Immmi considered 'im]>ortunt en gagements, nevertheless, ? owing to the fact that f hoy are merely of minor tactical value, they cannot be held to Im? nnijor 0]?eratiouM. "While, hostile preparations for an offensive in the west are not slacken ing, it is becoming more evideut that the enemy will launch this offensive only if coiniK'lled to do so by the exigencies of the general strategic situation. "While fresh (leraiaii divisions are reported as arriving in the west it is important to note that the density of enemy forces has nearly reached a point beyoud which it will Ih> imprac ticable to go, for should any large ad ditional body of men be massed, the chances are that the congestion of the lines of communication will beeome so great as to make it impossible t<? maintain the flexibility of manoeuver. which is so essential. Our forces in Frame have been' ionstantly in action. 'ur troops are .now in tin- trenches at five different jtoints. 1 his week we undertook onr first assault against German positions un assisted by any allied con t indent. "At dawn on March 11. after a pre liminary bombardment lasting three quarters of an hour, we drove a highly successful raid against a (rcrmaii trench segment. Jhir ment iwnetrateil the German line to a depth of ,'>uo yards. The enemy was driven off after a 'hand-to-hand tight whereupon our contingent returned t<> our lines. "At three places in Lorraine Ameri can troops, acting in cooperation with small French detachments raided Gcr inan trenches. Two of these opera tions were carried out simultaneously, each on a frontage of ?><)0 yards. After a prolonged bombardment the attack ing units were able to reach their ob jectives. Few of the enemy were found in tihe first line trenches and the attackers swept forward into the German second line. Onr men re mained for nearly an lionr in the Ger man positions and .retired after inflict ing much damage and capturing con siderable quantity of material. * "There has Ihhmi a decided increase in sniping, owing to more favorable weather conditions. "We kept up a vigorous bombard ment on the rear areas opposite our Toul sector. Near the Swiss border, where an other detachment ? ? f our men are in the trenches, hostile* homhardmonts were frequent. "The arrival of our Secretary of War in France is noted. During the l?ast week tin' Secretary has had in terviews with the leading French au thorities and Is about to undertake a careful inspection of our schools, training areas, rest camps, as well as those sectors of the front where our forces are in action. "The western front, from the North sea to the Alsne, was the scene of much hard lghting^ "The Germans carried out a number <?f air raids against London and Paris. Allied aviators raided German Indus trial centers of the Rhine region. "In the Italian theater, jiostile units! and the concentration of material com-Y log from Germany is noted in the area east and west of the Lake Gardfl. I which wonld point to hostile opera^ tions having Verona and Hrescla as their objective*. "In the ea Mem theater, the chief operation of the week culminated in the capture of Odessa. The occupa tion of Odessa will no doubt be of economic Importance to the enemy. "In Finland, lighting continues. Ger man Infantry bas landed at Abo and 11 ?
