Will Try Offensive
London: A despatch to the
Times from Lausanne states that
the Krupp factories are working

feverishly in preparation for ay
final great offensive on the west-{

ern frontin January. In case
the proposed attempt fails, the
German government intends to
invite mediation by the Pope and
President Wilson.

At the time of the Allied offen-
sive in September, the corres-
pondent says, the German gener-
-al staff were in a great fright,
having their cars packed for
three days, in fear of an Franco-
British advance.

On the Western Fre ront
Paris: ‘The following official
statement was issued last night:
During the course of the day.
activity of the artillery has been
more intense on both sides,’ In
Belgium, our artillery effectively
shelled the underground passages
in the region of Hetsag, where
hostile troop movements were
reported. In Artois our batteries
energetically replied to a violent
bombardment of our trenches at
Crassier, southwest of Loos. A
few incendiary shells were fired
on Arras, without great damage.
Between the Somme and Oise,
our trench guns destroyed enemy:
posts to the north of Herhecourt
and ashelter for machine guns
under a cupola near Tilloloy,
. Mine fighting continued to our
advantage in the region of Frise
and in St. Mard weod,to the east
of Tracy Leval and on the heights
of the Meuse at Les Eparges.

the enormous financial difficulties,
military preparations are being
feverishly hastened.”’

distrust of Greece. The Athens
correspondent of Le Matin says
Greece hes been playing for
time, in the hope that the Teutons
would be able to drive the Allies
tothe sea, It is predicted that
the demands of the Allies will be
refused, and many advocate a
rigid blockade of Greek ports, as
an aid tothe popular discontent
with Constantine’s policy. A con-
tinued blockade wou!d mean star-
vation and financial ruin for
Greece, ,
