LULL CONTINUES ALONG ENTIRE WESTERN FRONT (Continued from page one) beginning of Hindenburg' coloasa" of fensive, his promised "speedy victory" Is not achieved. From now on the strength of his army must decrease. If the allies flgbt dur ing the next three months as they have in the past, the beginning of the end Is in sight. This does not mean that peace will then be at hand but the road to victory ought to be stretched out straight ahead. The west front is now seething, rumbling and smoking, like a chain of volcanoes between eruptions. One thing is certain: The Germars to day are weaker, numerically and normal ly, than at the beginning of the offensive. From prisoners, it is learned that fewer German divisions are now on the west front than there were a month ago. To day there are not more than five divi sions which have not been in this offen sive. Barely a baker's dozen which have not yet participated in the drives. In addition to these, more than 30 divisions hsve been withdrnv.n from one active front and have been training and resting for three weeks. Altogether, Hindenburg has about SO divisions available for immediate action, whereas 81 were used during the first week of the Somme thrust these being sbsolutely fresh and specially trained. .
