GERMANS PLANNING GREAT
DRIVE ON ALLIED CENTER
PARIS, May 14. Heavy ami contin
uous lighting has been taking place
along the entire battle front in the
C’hampaigne district during the past
week. The fighting has at times been
so severe as to compel the bringing up
of reinforcements which have been
rushed from the reserve forces to the
north of Paris. The Parisian press
prints reports which the government
does not deny to the effect that the
Germans not only plan to drive a mon
ster wedge aginst the French center be
tween Rheims and Soissons but are
also apparently preparing for the com
mencement of an extensive offensive
compaign along the southeastern front
between Verdun and St.Mihiel. The
French are preparing to greatly
strengthen their lines at the theatened
points. Military aviators report.that in
addition to many troops the Germans
are bringing up a great number of
their heavy guns. It is believed that
the C'hamrpalgne offensive of the past
week is tlie prelude to a gigantic at
tempt of the Germans to force their
way to Paris for the second time. The
French aviators have been exceedingly
active in their efforts to discover the
movements of the i nemy and a number
of the most daring Fenreh airmen have
lately met their death in this duty .
