THE WESTERN FRONT.
AWAITING ENEMY’S LAST f
EFFORT.
LONDON, Feb. 20.
Mr Philip Gibbs writes: — At any moment we may see the beginning of the enemy’s last desperate effort to end the war by a decisive victory. Undoubtedly the offensive for which they have been long preparing is now imminent. Detailed information from prisoners leaves no doubt about that.
Our aviators for some time past have reported terrific industry and nervous tension behind the German lines. All leave has been stopped for German officers and men.
The Gemans are drugged under the spell of a frightful secret hope. Germany to-day is a nation with bloodshot eyes and high temperature and fever, buoyed up to the last resistance against the despair which is eating into its heart. Our men will not fail, whatever the cost.
The German offensive is expected immediately on the West front. The enemy ae using tanks and new gaseo.
