London, May G. Mr Gibbs writes: Nearly a week has passed without a German attack. The enemy is reorganising' divisiows and preparing for another offensive. Ke has many divisions in the Flemish fields and on the Scniuie, also divisions crowded in reserve, but there are few roads for marching, not much room for masses to assemble and little cover in trenches or dugouts, so we pound many Germans'to death. Relief coming up get wildly mixed with divisions returning. There is mad confusion during the night in the ranks of inarching men and transport columns, while Red Cross convoys are overloaded with wounded. These things sre upsetting tho plan of the High German Command but they will continue to pour out the blood of infantry in this great gamble. The only chance of the onslaught stopping is that the German people may be horrified and rise in passion against the spilling of soldiers' blood.
