They declare they only fear the Germans will n t try, knowing such an attempt would play Into the hands of the allies. Fcr the Germans, they say. It will be thd beginning of the end. "Such a drive will be predoomed to failure.' one officer said. "Then, weakened by frightful losses, the kaiser's legions will be at the mercy of the allies, who, with time working to their advantage, have from the first conserved their troops to this nd, and largely thanks la du the genius of General Joffre Not only was this assertion made repeatedly but with a trmnkness which startled one who waa accus tomed to the old time secrecy of the early days of the war.
