FRENCH AWAIT GERMAN BLOW Army Chiefs Are Confident And Moral of Soldiers is Excelent. TWO EFFORTS HAVE FALED BRITISH MOVES MADE IBLE BY ADDED POSS- STRENGTH. Teutons Are Now Badly Used Up-- Successive Efforts Almost Every- where Weakened the Enemy. Paris, Dec. 12.--While they real- ize the situation is serious owing to the Central Empires' ability to bring over troops from the Russian. front, military critics here say there is as yet no immediate danger. That the Germans. eventually will launch a big attack against the Allies with a view to breaking the line on this side is a foregone conciusion. Nevertheless the 'Germans will have to reckon with an exceedingly strong defensive, British troops is excellent. Meanwhile, the French press calls attention to the fact that a supreme generalissimo is wanted by the Allies, and also refers to the Inter-Allied Conference, which, pub- lic opinfon thought was going to name the gemeralissimo who would organize unity of action.

"Violent enemy counter-attacks near Cambrai have enabled the Ger- mans to retake less than half of the ground captured by the British. The furious dyive made against the Italians, while obliging them to re- tire a little, has not pushed them out on the plain. Both these moves were made mainly through the Central Empires' huge levy of men brought back from the Russian front. Forget Verdun and Yser.

I fully realize that our enemies hope to fin- ish the war before America's inter- vention. They forget Verdun, ahd the Yser. We shall hold them as long as necessary and prepare with the help of our new Allies, the de- cisive blow. When the blow comes it will find our enemies considerably weakened by the supreme attempts they will have made." Demands Supreme Chief. Gustave Herve, on his side, prints a long article in La Victoire, in ment is blind enough not to see that, in putting off the nomination of the Inter<Allied generalissimo, the Allies are exposed to a likely catastrophe. After pointing out the imminent danger which threatens the Allies ause of recent events in Russia, Herve says: "Facing us, from Oss tend to Venice, we have a.single chief, obeyed by all and assisted by one great general headquarters. We have a British commander-in-chief; a French commander-in-chief, an Italian commandersin-chief, and there soon will be an American com- mander-in-chief, each with his own general headquarters. "The embryo Inter-Allied War Council, which was constituted for the sake of appearances, is an organ without power or responsibjity, which no doubt does not trouble Hindenburg very much.
