HUN OFFENSIVE
THE BEGINNING
OF LAST STAND
ON THE BELGIAN FKONT, Mar. j
19. — General A. do Ceuninck, the dis- j
| tinguished soldier and Minister of
War for Belgium, today expressed to
the correspondent of the Associated
I Press the firm conviction that a great
i offensive by the Germans on the West
era Front would be the beginning of
the end for the Prussian military ma
chine. This is true said the general
j be. a use even if the enemy should put
his entire strength into an assault it
was doomed to certain failure in view
of Allied preparedness. Having de
feated the Germans in their onslaught
the Allies would he in a position,
through the balance of power which
America had brought them, to counter
i with inesistable force.
The Minister had been asked to dis
cuss the military situation as it ap
peared in the light of Germany’s pres
ent position, and the Prussians claim'
that the Entente allies would be
brought to their knees. The General
rec* ived the correspondent in the cha
teau which is being used as executive

Belgians has been sustained and in
creused by the knowledge that the
citizens jf the United States were
standing with them in the battle foi
freedom and justice. You have light
ened our load and enabled us to con
tinue the struggle,” said the general.
He paused, and then added with
great feeling:
“1 assure you that the first thing
Belgium will do after the conclusion
of peace will be to erect a monument
to her good friend.”
The General turned to the outlook
for Allied arms on the battlefield.
“We do not underrate the strength
of our opponents,” he said. “Germany
is a military nation, a powerful na
tion, and she is not yet defeated.
America, however, has brought into
ihe conflict the additional resources
necessary to tip the balance in our
favor and an Allied victory is assured,
rhe outcome of the war now hinges
on the question of numbers, and the
superiority rests with us.
“l.ermany will fail in any offensive
winch she may be preparing for or
the western front. The Allies are
ready for any move and will present
an unbreakable line. If the enemy is
going lo stake everything on a big
attack and is calling out every rc
source ne can command, he will have
reached i)»c beginning of the end when
he fails to break thiough, foi the
counter stiokes of the Allies can re
sult in only one thing—defeat for Ger
many. It may take some time to put
the finishing touches on the victory
but this will be accomplished.
“So iar as the Belgian Army is
concerned it is prepared for eventual
ities. The morale of the troops and
of the civilian population never has
been higher than it is today. Oui sol
diers are eager to fight. At times we
have had difficulty in restraining them
until the proper moment for action,
for they chafe under the restraint.
But they must be content to await
developments. They are only one
wheel of the great Allied machine anc
every part of that machine must work
in cooperation to make it run smooth
ly. Whenever the call comes we shall
be waiting to respond with every atom
of strength which we have.
“The entrance of America into the
war has done much to cheer our
troops. The fact that the United Stai°s
is w'ith us, both as a friend and as a
fighting Ally, means to the man in
the trenches that he is net making a
vain sacrifice. He is sure of victory
and is more eager than ever to cany
the battle to the enemy camp. Our
confidence in the outcome of the war
has been strengthened greatly by the
business-like way in wTiich the United
States Government has undertaken
its task. 1 recently saw' some de
tachments of American soldiers who
have come to fight with us. They
w'ere fine, clean-cut men—athletic, in
telligent, and intensely* energetic. It

was an inspiration to see them. There

CHECKSYSTEM
IS PREVENTING
REAL SUFFERING
LOS ANGELES, March 19. — Suf
fering in homes, due to the induction
ol* iden in the families into the mili
tary se '.ice, has been prevented, in
many instances, by a check system
handled through the public schools,
! according to a report on war work in
thi schools just issued here,
i The report states that in Older to
get a l5st of homes where suffering
or hardship might have followed the
draft, teachers were askec to learn
! from the pupils in each room whether
any members of their families had
joined service. If they had »cla
• tives in the service, the teacher filled
out a w ingle caid, adding checks which
indicated whether, from he acquain
tance v.itn the pupil and his circum
stances, any possibility of hardship
exut d.
The caids that indicated such a pos
sibility were turned over to the re
lief div * on of the Red Cross, and the
cases investigated, many families be
ing thus saved from re il hardship and
suller.r.;;.
The i an, it was said ny me report,
had the idvantage that the pup'!* did
not know of its operation, and as the
queiies were made quietly, no one was
wounued by any suspicion of misplac
ed charity, while others who needed
help were found. A < «r.*.pletc survey
of be city was made, it win lcported,
without any expense and within a few
days of its initiation.
