tha Immediate situation as to ships
was described as satisfactory.
In view of thla assurance that the
United Statea will be ante to maintain

tle fronts, reports from the western
front are" being scanned more eagerly
than eer by officers here for the first
atgns of the 1918 campaign. It Is
felt atrongly that the opening or ma
jor operations In what Prealdont Wil
son haa predicted will prove the de
cisive year of the great war, will not
be much longer delayed.
Mud has been the determining fac
tor of many previous .western front
operations. Bo long aa the ground Is
soft with winter ralna It la Impossi
ble to move forward great guns and
necetsary troop trains to support an
advancing line. Even In Flanders,
however, indications this year are
that the around will harden early In
the spring,' permitting either side to
undertake the enterprise planned. In
previous years, April has seen offen
sive preparations set In motion by the
allies. For that reason many officers
here seem Mo anticipate raiding and
minor assaults before the middle of
next month, which will show in them
