"Personally I do not feel that there will be anything definite this spring or! summer; It Is not merely a question, of military victory . It never has been and I doubt If it ever will be. It will mean the bending of tne German mma rather than the annihilation of the German concrete trench. 1 Two theories have been proruul gated, - One that the offensive com batting of the submarine will be the deciding factor.
