France fears a clash bythe German

armies across neutral ,Switzerland, in
a desperate attempt to turn the
p
French and Italian lines, and relieve
the pressure of the'allied forces. '
For. months the; possibility of an in-

talked of in Paris as a ossibiiity. To-
day, the opinion p

Press, it has become a probability.
Germany has called to the colors

estimated at from 500,000 to 2,000,000,
This force, while it will be used chief-

French publicist, who devotes his lead-
ing article to the subject,
Britain must take over a still
greater portion of the line now held
by the French, M, nerve declares, in
order to ,free a sufficient body of
French troops to permit the forma-

effort of the war.
Of one thing France 'is certain:
that under Field. Marshal von Hinden-
burg Germany is mustering all her
resources for the decisive stroke, and,
if the past is to be a guide for the fu-
ture, she will deal this blow with the
same lightning -lace speed with which
she launched her legions across neu-

of 1914.

A despatch from Berlin, says: Th
Vorwaerts, returning to the discussio
of the situation created by the rejec
tion of the peace offer, argues that s
long as 'neither side is able to gain
decisive victory the -only way out i
through peace ,by coinpromise and un
derstanding, and it remains the tas
of the neutrals to find a suitable mo
ment for this.
The Vorwaerts further says:
"Now that President Wilson ha
enlisted his awn and his country's au
thority in behalf of peace he cannot
abandon his efforts as, hopeless, and
he has the best prospects for 'realiz-
ing his purpose within -reasonable
time if he knows how to avail him-
self of the growing peace sentiments
of the European peoples. If he is
.willing to exert pressure, this he must
aired against the allies, not the Cen-
i:
• l powers, and it :would- be a in
be
act if he could convince the
Entente that even the most peaceful
part of the German people cannot ac-
cept them as judges.
"Hatred, revenge and greed of con-
quest are not fitted to establish a new
international legal status upon which
the temple of peace may rest securely,
and the entire German people reject
the Entente powers in the • office of
judge arrogated by them.."
