RETIRED ARMY OFFICER
SAYS ALLIES INFERIOR
•N'l'HY YuI'tK. April 1_ A retired
army officer arriving from a long sur
Jonrn in France during which time ho
visited various points along the entire
western hattlefront. declares that the
French and Knglish are admittedly
less prepared than the Germans for the
great summer campaign, despite the
almost superhuman efforts of the li
lies to mobilize great armies and con
struct giant siege guns. The observer
thinks that only b\ awful sacrifices
will they be able to stave the great at
tucks which will probnbly lie directed
largeh against (he Knglish forces in
Northwestern Prance it is probable
in his opinion that the other great ob
jection of the Germans will be Paris,
the seizure of which the Germans
think will dishearten the 1'roneh and
be the turning point of the war, Tho
' 'Hirer predicts that the warfare of
next summer will be not only iho
greatest that the world has yet seen,
but is likely to he the gerutest that the
world will ever see and that no man
living can fork'll the outcome of the
marvelous Gorman strategy and the
deadly eeffet of tho enormous German
nuns of which the allies have no ec|ual.
