They came at the colonel's re quesL Both officers, high In the allied military service, were cheerful today la discussing the German gains on tho west front. Their optimism was both for con ditions on the front and for the pro d action of Oregon 'and Washington sprnee for airplanes. ' Count de La Rochette spent IV years In the trenches before he was transferred to the aviation section and subsequently appointed a mem ber of the commercial division ot the French mission to the Cnlted States. Ha said: "The offensive the Germans have Just perpetrated on the western front Is a alga of their weakness. It was a desperate last attempt to crush the allied forces. The Oerman retreat from the old battle line In 19 Is was a strategic move. They were In a weak posi tion and by retreating made their position atronger. Now with their present offensive they are again In their weaker location and they have lost the best shock troops." GEMS OCCUPYING Portland, , Mar. 29.
