With the British Armies in the
Field, Feb. 25.—German war party ' -v ln,e" ' ress-
propagandist has boched the job and
overcooked the pudding.
A careful study of today's situation 1
on the west front reveals the most
stupendous propaganda drive the
Prussians have ever attempeted, and
for the biggest stakes, is a total fail- j
ure.
Despite utilization of every method i
to create a state of terror among
troops and civilians, to increase the
tension and prolong the nervestrain
before the offensive, their methods
have resulted in a fiasco. Troops and
civilians are chuckling over the "hob- |
goblin."
The British staff expects the Ger-
mans will put up a stiff fight, but
receive a drubbing. Indications are
the German troops themselves are
gradually acquiring a cold sweat.
Some prisoners admit they do not
believe the Prussian plans will suc-
ceed, although they will make mince-
meat of their own troops.
French civilians openly doubt an
offensive will be launched, asking:
"Why so much hullabaloo?" The sol-
diers shrug their shoulders saying
"let it come."
Confirming reports of food condi-
tions in Germany, prisoner-- say that

In Spain the Germans are using

incidentally establish a "stable gov-

that Spanish army officers lack but
one thing to make them equal to the
best officers in the German army, and
that is a "stable governement at?d a
