The eGrman otfensive east and

savagely applied to it by the strong
resistance of-.the American, French

his way through opposing positions
to points of vantage chosen as ear

True, some gains hav^ been made
by the Germans, hut they are infin

War Savings Stamps, in addition to
$27 donated to the Red Cross. Mr.

able to buy $1,000 worth of W. S. S.

iThe conviction that the (Wman
high command haa encountered se
rious obctacles in pressing the of-
fenaive on the Western front is
gaining ground in the minds of of*
ficlals here. They cannot believe
that renewal of the attack would be
deferred voluntarily when it is ob
vious that every day’s additional de
lay works against- the ultimate sue
cess of the whole purpose of. forc
ing a* military decision this year to
which the Germans are committed*
Secretary B(aker eaid that nothing
definite is known here as to the rea
sons which have made it clear, how
ever, that the time which has elaps
ed since the last Gerttinn effort and
the failure of the enemy to react
against repeated successful local en
counter attacks by French, British
and Aifterican troops were accepted
as conclusive evidence that the Ger
man offensive was being held .in
check by some consideration other
than the purely practical one of pre
paring the storm troops.

Most of the dead and many of the

Two trains met on a curve five
