That move developed the Informa tion that von Hlndenburg was await ing the opportune moment for the great, final effort tor Germany's ! forces. Germany's military leaders believe tha moment of Germany's victory is at hand. They hold this victory will be achieved because ot the success which will attend the unlimited sub marine warfare and 'because of the shortage of French ' munitions and supplies, due to lack of coal In France. - Moreover, the leaders think the final, overwhelming effort will be made, and complete success achieved before America can move. Though the German army and navy is prepared and anxious for war with America, German news papers have been urging Americans to work for peace and have been be seeching the German admiralty not to torpedo ships carrying American passengers. Their efforts, however, do not appear to toe successful During the past three months, the I "'' MILLIONS t'OJl' DEFENSE Carrying a total of $369,000,000, the largest appropriation for naval defense In the history of the country, the navy bill has pa seed the house y a vote of 352 to 22.
