GERMANS NOT LIKELY TO RESUME OFFENSIVE

Withdrawals On Western Front Indicate Enemy Content To Standi On Present Line.

LONDON, Thursday, Aug. 16.—The withdrawals on the western front by the Germans in the past few days, it ia believed here, indicate that the enemy Intends to abandon the offensive. It is said to be doubtful whether he will be able to resume the offensive since 35 divisions now are necessary between the Oise and the Ancre, of which 15 are from the reserves. There are now only 16 fresh enemy divisions in reserve on the entire western front, and only 11 of these belong to the army group Of German Prince Rupprecht of Bavaria.

Military observers say that there is every indication the Germans intend to stand on their present line. There is possibility, however, that they may fall back to the Divette, a small tributary of the Oise, and which joins it south of Noyon. The French now hold aU the high (round ia that region.

It is said that the British are so •lose to Chaulnes that the enemy can not use the town. Almost all the rail communications in the Peronne region have bean rendered useless by the allies.

Old men and women wept with tears of joy, crying "At last Russia will be saved!' The peasant^ workmen and aristocracy know that Germany is their enemy.

today, was anticipated hero, as the German* have been unable to present a force In that section of Russia which could stop these fierce fighters of the steppes. The Cossacks have persistently refused to recognize the Brest Litovsk treaty and have been impllcable in their hostility to th« Teutons and to Bolsheviki.

It was suggested by officials here that the conduct of the Cossacks is significant of the support tbe small inter-allied army and the Czechoslovaks will receive from various factions in their efforts to aid the Russians in the re-establishment of the eastern front,

HUNS CRY HYPOCRISY.

Deride England For Recognizing the Czecho-Slovaks. AMSTERDAM, Aug. 16.—German newspapers comment freely upon the manifesto issued by Great Britain in recognition of the Czecho-Slovaic nation. "It is the acme of hypocrisy when England gives these notorious traitors a testimonial that they are waging legitimate warfare," tbe Cologne Gazette says. "This recognition will remain only a recognition on paper with the central powers, as they have so far, remained victorious against the world attack," says the Frankfort Gazette. "Our defeat alone could assist the Czechoslovaks to that political independence which the entente grants them so hastily. Nevertheless it is serious step, the importance of which we must not under-estimate from the viewpoint of propaganda."

SITUATION SERIOUS.

No Room f*or Optimism In Outlook For Siberian Relief. VLADIVOSTOK, Tuesday, Aug. II. —By th« Associated Press).—The situation in western Siberia leaves no room for optimism in the opinion of the vice president of the Russian section of the Czecho-Slovak national council. In a statement recently he said that Bolshevik mobilization of Austro-German prisoners of war had added 160,000 men to the enemy forces.

He said it would be impossible to reach Irkutsh even under the most favorable circumstance in less than a month, and that perhaps two months would be necessary. In the hilly, waterless and sandy country beyond Irkutsk the movement of troops would be easier, but the position of the Czecho-Slovaks may become precarious if assistance is not speedily forthcoming.

Their numbers are diminishing owing to sickness and impossibility Of renewing supplies.
