In their new nssan t. the (,orimin.i will
wormnn reintorceinents have
already nppourod in the vnllev of the
recht river. lliev have been with
drawn, presumably from elsewhere on
the western front. Concentration of the
new offensive is proceeding slowly,
but officials believe the (lerimin troops
which have been engaged in (iiilicin will
be in nction in the Vosgos in the near
future.
In connection with the preparations
for the new offensive in Alsace, it is
reported here that Germany is now
working upon a definite program,
which, it successful, will have as its
conclusion overtures of peace. This pro
gram is reported to provide for:
Completion of the drive against the
Russians in (alicia.
Isolation of the Russians of eastern
Oalieia from the Slav forces in Do
land, with probably a new offensive
against Warsaw.
An offensive to free German terri
tory of the enemy by driving the
French from Alsace, and then,
Fence overtures.
Advices here declare that Germany
is tiring of the war, anil is determined
to end it if possible within a few
months, wliile she is in the most ad
vantageous position since the btt'i.- of
the Mnrne. Kxperience has taught
the Germans thnt they can scarcely
hope to batter through the allied de
fenses in northern France, even lit tr
mendous cost. Rut Germany is said to
believe that Field Marshal Von Muck
ensen run elenr Galicii of the Rus
sians in a fortnight, enabling Germany
to then sugest peace with her enemy
forces everywhere beyond her fron
tiers. French military authorities today do
,,ielnred the Germans were mistaken in
; their belief that Alsace could be
jeleared. The French troops have dug
i themselves III and the fortifications in
the portions of the lost province held
by the French are stronger than those
' north of Arrns.

Washington, July 7 Germany desires
to learn the minimum modifications

This is declared to be the main pur

regard the submarines as their most
effective weapons with which to com
bat Knglnad's attempt to starve the
