General Maurice raid the entente forces still held the superiority In rifles, guns and aircraft, but that this superiority was diminishing. "I have said heretofore that a Ger man offensive was not immediately likely because the Germans required time to prepare new troops." said Gen eral Maurice, but these major pre parations are now more or less com plete and the enemy can attack when ever he completes his local prepara tions.
