WHERE IT WILL STRIKE INTERESTING SPECULATIONS

I

LONDON, May 10.

A special Daily Telegraph moraage from Rotterdam says:-

The three points where the enemy main foren are massing for the next blow are Flanders, the Amicus salient and the Italian front... The only question. is where the first blow will be struck.. The indientions are that at least two attacks will conte simultaneously, the ooore of the operations being left to decide which will be the main such desisive battle. Although the real issue is intended to be fought out against the British and French, there is reason to believe that the Italian front will be the sena of more important events than in the drst stage of the offensive.

There is a very small number of German on the Italian from, but

Quidde declared that Germany was ready, fastly, to grant Alsace-Lorraine autonomy, provided Alsace Lorraine was mentioned at the Peace Conference; secondly, if the rest fitoval treaties were not raised at the Penco Cerence Germany might make eartain concessions; thirdly, that there J no consonic war síter; the war; fourthly, the German colonies must be restored.
