There is an impatient mino- rity, beaded by some of the most prominent politicians, who believe it would be better for the offen sive to start immediately.

Colonel Barone thinke the former are right. Germany, ho save, by pushing her advance into Russia is marching to certain disaster, and it is far bettor for the Allies in too West to await this event and then strike.

"It is from this aspect," he concluded, "that the Franco- British commandera regard the situation, and I make bold to add that far from thinking they are abandoned to their fate the Ras sian General St-ff is of the same opinion. The French General lesimo is certainly not asleep, and he deserves entire and illimitable opali lenca."
