Excerpt from Stead's Review, Vol. 49: March 23rd, 1918 Mr. Simonds considers that only if the Americans can get soldiers ready to fight in France by May, would the Allies have a decisive advantage in num bers, but he goes on to say that such a force will not be available by then, and has evidently resigned himself to having to wait until 1919 before Allied attack can be expected. All things considered, it seems fairly certain that. Unless they have devised some startling new method of at tack. Or haye developed some new weapon, the Germans have small chance of breaking through in the west - always Supposing the Allies have taken the most obvious precau tions and are prepared with new lines of defence to fall back on should need arise. As they will not attack unless they are sure of getting through - to attack and fail merely means further waste of declining man power - the main enemy offensive this year is likely to fall elsewhere. Where vic tory is sure to be more easily attained. The weak spot in Allied defence is, of course, Italy, and if a negotiated peace is abandoned for the time being, it is against the Italians that the enemy drive is most likely to be directed.
