German prisoners all reflect the general opinion on the enemy side of the line that for Germany it is a question of “do or die.” Nobody can listen to thelr talk without realizing the utter folly of considering that the great offensive has spent iteelf. Despite the colossal number of troops so far flung againet the al- | lies, the most desperate blows are ahead. In 1917, the kaiser had on the west front 128 German divisions (1,638,000 men) and in Itussia, the Balkans and Rumania 77 divisions (924,000 men). Since March 21, Hin. denburg has actually used against the allies between 160 and 170 di- visions (1,920,000 to 2,040,000 men) or jover 25 more than he had holding the entire front at this time in 1917.
