The situation along | the Russian front is such as to enable the Germans to move large bodies of General Staff desires to undertake an offensive. One suggestion heard circles here is that thg German Staft thought perhaps the {talian offensive might draw a sufficlent number of in military front to weaken some point in France of Flanders. However, it is know that the British and ‘French now have a numerical superiority of men and guns along the French and Flanders fr and were able to send reinforcements to Italy without endangering the in- tegrity of the western front. In his weekly review of the military situation in Europe, issued last night, Secrctary Baker himself takes the view, based on information possessed by the General Staff and the War Col- lege, that Germany is preparing a new Winter offensive and large-scale military operations of a mobile char- acter.

This offensve was undertaken to crush the Italans and compel them to sue for peace. “Five weeks of desperate fighting has brought them no nearer their real objective in this theater. “The Italian armics suffered serious i v stages of the compelled to give way, and, for a time, the military sit- uation along the Italian front was serious. But the enemy had under- estimated the resisting power of the Italians and discounted the splendid morale which their forces would dis- play when the full magnitude of the impending crisis was visualized. “The hoped-for resolution in Ttaly, which had been sedulously fomented by German propagandists, and which was an important part of the German plan of invasion, failed to materialize. “The Italians, by a magnificent ef- fort, reorganized their broken forces, rapidly, reformed their cadets, and backed by the Allies, were able, single handed, to check the Austro- German invasion. ! troops from that front to the western j front or to any other point where the | British and French reinforcements } from the western front to the Italian | ont | Weomen of iddle Age Many distressing Ailments experienced by them are Alleviated by Lydia E.

All good troops which can possibly be spared are being dispatch- ed to other zones of operations. “So that, though the season is not propitious for engaging in military enterprises on a large scale, yet, ow- ing to the imperative nccessity for a continuance of this mobility, further offensives are to be anticipated. “On the other hand, the Allies will give the enemy no respite and any of- fensive undertaken by the Germans will be promptly met by a counter- stroke of greater severity. “The battle of mbrai with sanguinary intensity. “The enemy, after the first onrush of the British, by bringing up fresh forces, has been able to bolster up his weakened defenses which for a time imperilled the security of the entire Hindenburg line. ; The Favorite NE-EELAE:“E Route TO THE WEST LOWEST FARES TO ERIE, CLEVELAND, FORT WAYNE and CHICAGO, with direct connections for all Western and Pacific Coast Points.
