THE GREAT WAR.
GERMAN ATTACK EXPECTED DAILY. GREAT AERIAL ACTIVITY. JRAIDS BY NEW ZEALANDEKS AND AUSTRALIANS. FINE WORK BY BRITISH SUBMARINES. (By Cable.) It is officially announced that the Americans hoSd more front line trenches than the Belgians, who until recently ranked next to the British. It is also officially intimated that as a result of arrangements for forwarding troops this year there is a possibility of more than two million being sent over seas. Allowing for casualties, the American forces will number close on two millions before the end of the year. The fact that American troops are brigaded with the British enables British supplies being used, thus affording a great increase of shipping room for the transport of troops.
