It Is believed in London that tha
struggle may be expected soon to enter
upon a critical stsge both In the east
and west. British military observers
have expressed the opinion that Germany
still is keeping a preponderance of Ms
forces in the western theater of the war,
where tha allies should expect another
great offensive movement. .
The Germans' tactics of the last few
days at various points on the western
front seem to have cost them heavily-and
to have brought them little gain, Judging
by the official reports given out In rsri
and published prominently tn London to
day. It is thoSjght' here that -the next
development may be a concentrated blow
