1 ’.VItlS April It. A revival of tin
, German offensive on a scale similar to
that of last summer’s warfare is be
coming daily more evident along the
entire French anti British hattlefronts.
The Germans are believed to be pre
paring for a series of terrific advance
such as characterized the movements
of the earlier days of the campaign. It
is thought that, the Germans have now
given up all hope of being able to pla
cate the Italians, are now growing des
perate and will attempt to rush the
spring campaign in the hope of strik
ing a decisive blow before Italy shall
have entered the war.
The military staff are confident that
a move of this nature on the part of
Germany will spell disaster at the pre
